What? Where is Snake Rattle n Roll?
That is one of the most revolutionary games on the NES, also you are missing Captain Skyhawk.

Those 2 need to have at least an honorable mention on the list.

Nice picks from you and those who posted, but one game that stands out to me that also pushed the nes in terms of graphics is Track & Field II.

Where’s Shatterhand and Turtles II & III? They were graphic marvels at their time.

Mega Man 2—best NES soundtrack by far. And the graphics, especially the robot dragon chasing you in the first Dr. Wily level…bought the NES to its knees….hell, they had to have a blank background to animate those screens smoothly, LOL.

Man, I can’t believe you forgot to give credit to the possibly most advanced game the NES ever ran – I mean, how can one beat huge sprites, real-time zooming, digitized voices and parallax scrolling on the NES? I do mean F-15 Strike Eagle by Microprose!
This hardly known game put you in control of a F-15 over warring lands – avoid SAMs, other planes (with detailed specs appearing on screen), lock your few missiles depending on their ranges and capabilities, or gun them down while using appropriate decoys when you’re being fired at – but careful with your ammo! If you need to re-supply, careful with your landing approach!
Credit where credit’s due: Microprose managed to make a convincing 3D flight simulator on the NES.
