zelda I and II obviously… closely followed by final fantasy, both star tropics, and, dare i say it?, Captain Skyhawk. Nothing outside of Afterburner in the arcade made flying as fun as cpt skyhawk. you and the cap’n make it hap’n.
Holy crap, Rygar was AWESOME. Anyone remember River City Ransom? SMB3 with the Raccoon suits and everything was monumental. Blaster Master was great, too. So many games … Revolution, I await the arrival with bated breath.

Hey Frisby, if you want to beat Mr. Dream // Tyson, it’s all in the way you dodge him. As soon as he’s about to strike, dodge to your left, and as you dodge to your left press back the right direction, it’s gonna move like twice as fast to the center position. It’s the only way to beat him =)
2 games I remember very well because I had those as a kid and with English as a second language I couldn’t understand much of the text in them so it wasn’t until a year or two later of owning them that I got to figure them out then finished them and it was a blast.
It was Golgo 13 and Faxanado
My other favorites are also: Battle Toads: nothing like playing with you older brother then kicking him with a big boot off the screen Super Mario 1 and 3 Double Dragon 2 Strider Duck Hunt!

Who can even say what their favorite game was, there were so many.
Ok it was Kid Icarus.
But I would just like to say that one game that doesn’t get enough credit on these types of lists but that I truly loved was Rygar.
Damn that was a great game.

So hard to choose!
The Legend of Zelda has to be my favorite. It’s what pulled me in and has never let go of me. 🙂
Very honorable mentions:
SMB1-3
StarTropics
Faxanadu

Super Mario Bros.
Rush n’ Attack
Contra
Metroid
Zelda
Punch Out!
etc… (too many to count)
A lot of time also spent on all of these games. My parents got mad at my brother & I, needless to say, we missed many dinners.
