I approve of your selections,
...especially Crystalis, which might be my favorite ARPG of all time.

You even have Super Dodge Ball, which is just way more fun than it has a right to be.

My selection might look a little different, but not by much.
I see that you took out Pac-Man; I would have too, as it's not my port of choice by far. But I may have added Pac-Mania in its stead.

I would have left out Metal Gear in favor of Heavy Barrel.

Metal Gear isn't good, I'd agree on the Heavy Barrel swap out. SNK has some amazing releases of their arcade stuff on the NES.

Also really, no Dragon Warrior IV? I'd understand 2 above any to ignore, and 3 while very good is LONG (and slow) but 1 is so short it's a fun little romp and #4 is basically 4 mini RPGs rolled into one that has a long bigger 5th game after that...it's a low color 16bit RPG in how it plays unlike the other 3.

RC Pro Am 2 is far better than the first one as well, also with the kids its a 4P game even if the system only supports 2. Not sure if it works but Gauntlet II is a stunning copy of the arcade game too.

The problem with Gauntlet II is that it lacks purpose. It's fun, but levels repeat and there's no real end to the game (if memory serves).
I know that Donkey Kong and others are the same (played for score and such), but Gauntlet just felt like it should have gone somewhere (like defeating 10 Dragons to save the realm or something).
The "it" monster was always a hoot when playing multi though.

I debated mentioning the Dragon Warriors, but they are definitely not everyone's taste.
I concur that DWIV is a masterpiece. Final Fantasy is still my 8-bit RPG, but DWIV puts it to shame in its overall vision.
I never beat that one, but it fully engaged me well into chapter 5.

We're on the same page, every point. Even Gauntlet II, but it still is mindless fun and you're right after 3-5 stages in it randomly generates a map of which stage to pull out of a hat, yet it won't do the same stage twice in a row or anywhere near it again so it doesn't get stale. It's like DK, a mindless fun point racker and nothing more, and something like that on the NCE I think would be fantastic especially with a partner. Even if you got bored, hot save and come back, can't do that on the original.

DW4 is my thing too entirely, I let it go though to get my NeoGeo cab as I got a nice deal/bundle out of it. It's fine though the DS/Android version is more engaging anyway with the few modernizations to the save format being the big one. Truth be told I still love that stupid fairly bland original one, if for anything no reason other than it's very approachable as it's short. You can commit an afternoon and destroy it if you're daring because it can be taken down in around 6 hours (I've done it back in the 90s as a bet with my best friend to keep his cart!) FF1 though I prefer it as well, even as crude as it was without re-targeting enemies, and I went and snapped up a pristine copy of the NP magazine guide in the last few weeks for when I find the time to crack into it.

The next time I play through Dragon Quest III or IV, it's going to be the NES version again. I've played remakes out the wazoo at this point.

Hey, now, don't malign the wazoo. It works hard at what it does.

Well for me the next time I do those games DW3 will be the GBC version as i just got the Prima guide back for it locally, and DQ4 would be me buying the DS release or dealing with the mobile touch version of it. I don't care to keep $100 NES games around anymore unless I really will get the use out of it for the value. :)
