        Not anything worth apologizing for.

        This is your list. That I think some things may be missing is irrelevant, but it can be a conversation starter.

        That you have a duplicate means you can cram more of your favorites in, if you like.

        Which was your favorite?

          Definitely Balloon Fight. The control scheme is perfect. Two player coop. Simple but fun, and with the right challenge.

          I wish it had more variety in the level design.

          What are your NES favourites?

            My favorites were Ninja Turtles, Final Fantasy, Paperboy, Zelda, Rygar, Castlevania 3, or Kid Icarus. At least those ones got massive amounts of play time.

              Kid Icarus is a little too difficult for me, but I think I should try again and see if I can get better.

              I only played TMNT on SNES, perhaps I should try the NES one.

              I never tried Paperboy, is it good?

                I never said I was good at them. LOL. I enjoyed them all. For the time they came out, they were amazing to me.

                I think the part I liked about TMNT was that it had multiple play styles in one game, so it felt like more.

                Paperboy was a racing game with a timing mechanism. You ride a bike along a set course, dodging obstacles like the racing games of the time. However, you have to time throwing papers at or in mailboxes to get points to pass stages.
