Every NES game ever made, listed in order of awesome photo

Who cares about someone's amazingly detailed list of NES games in order of quality, you say? Why, you may not at all. However, I can't think of any better reason to get people to think about their own personal favorites (or bitch in the comments about how wrong this entire list is). At any rate, I thought such completionist efforts were reserved for the likes of list maestro Chad Concelmo only, so cheers to crummysocks.com for taking the time to do it.

See, I can already feel the reactions coming, even as I look as the list in the privacy of my own office. Shadowgate ranks at number 235? For SHAME! Best game ever! Anyway, the list can be found here at crummysocks.com. I knew there were a ton of NES games as my hall closet is filled with them, but 777? Talk about putting other systems to shame...

[Thanks, William]

Bad Dudes should have been higher, if it was a list of most MANLY games the it would have come top.

I never played Robocop 2. I had no idea it existed. But there's NO WAY its worse than those unauthorized Wisdom Tree Bible Stories games.

This list is weird, because if it was normal flamebait, Mario 3 would be like, number 20 or something, and people would still be fucking pissed, but 498? This list is an enigma.

Never heard of the number 1 rated game.
Some classics like Super Mario Bros 3 o Contra are way too low on the list.

Who rated the games and what were they on when they did it?

Mario's Time Machine and Mario is Missing! come before Mario 3.

I think he and his buddy's "method" was getting drunk and moving around the entries on the "List of NES games" Wikipedia page.

27. Friday the 13th? (I think Colette will take particular issue with this one ;)
722. The Legend of Zelda?
767. Mega Man 5?

Odd opinions are odd indeed O_o

I know you can't please anyone, but this list is really, really bad. Rambo at #34? That game was terrible, and it's almost forty spots ahead of Super Mario Bros.! RC Pro-Am at 128?!?!

I guess I should be happy that it's two spots ahead of "Bible Buffet".

This list is obviously just his lame (and successful) attempt at getting page views. When you're going to give the title of "Best NES Game Evaarrrrrrr", it doesn't go to Tale Spin. Plain and simple. And the most glaring fault to me:

#5: Mega Man 4
#183: Mega Man 2

Oh yeah, and we should definitely throw rocks at his face.

hmm... Tetris appears at both 489 and 6. It must be both meh and great? Unless there's two different versions, but makes it hard if they don't identify which version is which.

Hasn't anyone noticed that this is a wind-up. Try refreshing the page with the list and you will see that the rankings change every time. This is designed to piss people off and nothing more.

AHAHAHA! They're right. It's randomly generated. I knew there couldn't be anyone fucked up enough to rate Tail Spin at number one. That game sucked.

And the gaming press is owned once again. :)

"Totally Rad at 14? That game is a fucking abortion."

Then it wouldn't have been on the list, as it would have been canceled.

As for the rest, I'm fond of Goonies II, but come on!
