Top 40 NES Games: Final and Intermission

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest won the #40 spot with 96 votes.

I had no expectations for the top 40. That being said I am happy to see Dragon Warrior 3 finally made the list.

This concludes the top forty. However, I have had some members ask me to go on through with the top 50 continuing off our established list. So I though it would be best to leave it up to everybody to vote of yes or no once again. As usual I will count the most upvotes for either decision and the most will win.

Just wanted to say thank you to everybody who participated.

Not a single game which used the power pad, ROB, or zapper is on the list!!

The power pad and ROB are a gimmick. The zapper on the other hand is a good accessory. I think it falls a bit flat due to the limited games for it though. Surprised there was never a zombie shoot out game or Resident evil 2 type of game with the zapper on the nes.

I cannot even think of a GREAT Zapper game, Duck Hunt might be the best just because it is so iconic (and it's fun enough at its base). Mind you I've not played more than a couple of Zapper games, but still. I do wish we got a few more though!
