I also finally broke down and got a copy of Metroid off of eBay.
Which cover art? The original release where it has the actual sprite graphics from the game, or what appears to be a re-release where it's yellow with a nifty hand drawn Samus on the cover? I have the later myself and like it better between the two.I also finally broke down and got a copy of Metroid off of eBay.

For the exception of Super C I have all of those.I got the original Pixel art one. I already have the box to match that one, just need the cart for it.
That brings my NES want list down to:
Contra
Megaman 1
Megaman 3
TMNT 3
Castlevainia 1
Castlevainia 3
Rescue Rangers
Super C
That brings up an interesting question actually. Are there NES games I'm actively after? Like what are my system wants?
I'm not a sports person, so I don't have any sports games, nor really want any. I'm not a racer, so I don't have like RC Pro Am or anything or care to.
There are a few big shot games people might say I should get for my collection, but honestly I'm not that interested. Like Mike Tyson's Punch Out, or Battletoads. Maybe if I found them for really cheap, but neither of them really ever seemed like that much fun.
Off the top of my head I can think of a few I wouldn't mind:
Super C
Felix the Cat (Heard it's decent)
Rescue Rangers 2, Ducktails 2
Darkwing Duck would be great. Given it's a sorta MegaMan clone.
Would love Little Samson, but not much of a chance of that.
I would also love to get a copy of Pools of Raidence actually. It and Super C may be my biggest wants right now.
Also wouldn't mind a copy of Fester's Quest just to have it. Oh Nightmare on Elm Street as well, given I have a four score.
I had a ton when I got my NES initially. My dad had been collecting games and just gave me what he had. I ended up selling them all. Unless it's something silly like MegaMan Soccer, I just don't care. *shrugs*Tecmo Bowl is a surprisingly fun football game, but it and Base Wars are pretty much the only sports games that I would recommend on the NES.
Punch Out I'd have to try to see if I enjoyed it. Never played it, but don't care to spend near 100 for the thing only to find out I don't like it.Punch Out is a classic game! I would highly recommend that one. Battletoads is just a favorite of mine, and I would recommend that as well, but to be honest, I mainly played the Gameboy port growing up.
I don't, but I don't really want it either. It's one of those if I found it for real cheap I would get it just for the heck of it. Doesn't help I'm not a fan of either horror franchise. I only want the Nightmare on Elm street one because of the four player side scrolling action.Good list! I would also recommend Friday the 13th if you don't have it already.
Wasn't there a Ghost and Goblins for the NES? I should get that.
I got my Contra in yesterday along with a replacement box for Battletoads! I need to do some reorganizing then I will post some pictures!So I bought Contra off of Ebay. I found a new seller that was selling it for $21 shipped, so let's hope that it's not a scam! Also I forgot about Zelda 2, so I am adding that to the bottom of my list.

My genesis collection. It way overfills the shelf. There is my original model 1 that I got for my 13th or 14th birthday. I wanted it over the snes to play Shanghai as I had got addicted to the Mac version at school. It came with Sonic 1 and 2, and two weeks later I used my birthday money to buy X-men! There is a model 2 with a 32X on it that I picked up at a flea market twenty years ago for $20. My only 32x game is Doom. I have a smattering of loose games and a bunch of them in cases. No idea on how to display all of them right now.
