I CHERISH that you had Tiger Heli in your top 20!!! I subscribed just off of that! VERY UNDERRATED and HAPPY to see a change from the "typical" NES top list!
you gamechasers are producing excellent content..thank you for all you guys do!! for me on the NES ...tecmo bowl, blades of steele, hoops, tmnt 2, and smb3 are my top 5
Hey Jay, for Rivercity Ransom you said it takes place somewhere over sea's but on the screen behind you of the game their is a us mail box and you had me laughing my ass off buddy thank you for it
Awesome picks! Very unique choices. Bases Loaded II was the only baseball game I had as a kid and I put in a fair amount of time with it, a solid fun baseball game for the NES.
Yo Jay, I'm guessing you've probably seen it, but if you haven't, Norm's video on Tetris is quite an eye-opener of what Tetris really did to quell the conflict in US-Soviet relations. Not to mention, those animatics to fill in the blanks help a lot to make you care more about these situations. :P I'm mostly guessing you've seen it since Norm has been on the show and I assume you guys watch The Gaming Historian. XP Great list, can't wait for part 2!
Dudge we could ask the chasers to put on a British accent ;) Wish I had 10% of the editing skill they have. Love that the USA has retro everywhere but here in the UK it's very hard to find :(
kevinwoolford123 Tell me about it, I'm from the UK too! I live in Birmingham which has a fair few retro video game stores but I hardly find anything in the wild.
Love the Tiger Heli inclusion. That game is underrated and so fun. I would sometimes play it for hours. It was challenging without being that difficult where you would throw the controller down or something...lol....you guys know what I mean. It would let you just fly for awhile and relax a little bit at times. Great pacing. The only problem with it is you couldn't really beat it... it would just keep going which was lame. I would have included it in the NES Classic instead of Gradius but hey...that's just me. Also, I agree about Kung Fu. It is simple but it's very, very fun. 30 Minutes well spent.A true classic. Also belonged on NES Classic.
would you prefer bases loaded 2 over bases loaded 4? i was always under the impression BL4 was the best of the bases loaded nes games. but ive never tried BL2. am i wrong here? is BL2 actually the superior game?
Man, I don't know if I can even name 20 games that I played on the NES. Though, the NES was where I started as a very small child, The SNES and Sega Genesis is where I really became a gamer. Let's see how many games I can name (that I played on the NES) off the top of my head. 1. Ninja Gaiden 2 2. Super Mario Bros. 3. Super Mario Bros. 3 4. Batman 5. Double Dragon 6. Double Dragon 2 7. Top Gun 8. Metal Gear 9. Duck Hunt Well, that's about all I can think of. I'm sure I've played more. Off to google to see if I can jog my memory. 10. Tetris (don't know how I forgot this one.) 11. Castlvania 12. Ducktales 13. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 14. Dr. Mario 15. Donkey Kong 16. Bad Dudes 17. Battle toads and Double Dragon (for some reason I thought this was a SNES game.) Well, that seems to be all the games that I can remember playing on NES even with google helping to jog my memory. Games like Ninja Gaiden 1 and 3 or Super Mario 2 are games that I actually played on the SNES with the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy and Super Mario All Stars cartridges, so I can't really count those.
He says river city ransom is set somewhere NOT in the U.S. , meanwhile in the background while showing the gameplay theres a mailbox that says U.S. mail ,haha
Kung fu is supposed to be the game of a movie called "Spartan X" a Jackie Chan movie. In Japan it had a sequel that is not bad but a little too easy. In some old chinese multicarts you can find the japanese version of the game, that as far as i know only has a different title. The version of tetris i like the most is the Tengen version, maybe because is the one i grew up with. The chinese made a lot and i mean A LOT of copies of that game so its pretty easy to find in that form or in multicarts.
The only game I would play and own in this video is Tetris. I'm sure the other games are good but graphically they haven't aged well. I personally prefer the SNES's 16 bit graphics over the NES's 8 bit graphic's but that's just me. Also since I'm going to get some hate for this comment I know gameplay is more important than graphics.
20.) Bases Loaded II - I don't really have any interest to play it. I think the only baseball game that I really enjoyed was the first Ken Griffey Jr Baseball for the snes. i was more of hockey fan when it came to playing sports and playing sports video games. 19.) Ninja Gaiden - A game that I played a lot when I was a kid, but I would love to beat this sucker one of those days. I could never get very far in this game. 18.) Rygar - I could never get into rygar to be perfectly honest. I played it a bit on a playchoice arcade 10 machine in an old arcade back in the day, but I would always pass on this game if I had an opportunity to rent it. 17.) River City Ransom - Even to this day, I still never sat down and actually played this for the first time. 16.) Super Tecmo Bowl - I never played a football game in my entire life, and despite all the critical acclaim this game has, I still have no interest in playing it. 15.) Kung Fu - I have played/beaten this game but its been such a long time since I actually played it. I'm overdue to give this game another try. 14.) Snow Bros. - I have played the arcade version of this game, but I have never played the nes version of this game yet. 13.) Tiger Heli - I have never played this game before. I never even knew it was a shoot'em up to be honest. I was always thought it was a flight sim game like airwolf, but I'll have to give this one a try when i get free time to play it. 12.) Castelvania - I have played/beaten/completed this game and it is now permanently retired. Its not my favourite castlevania entry for the nes, but I recognize the importance and greatness of this game and I do love the spike in difficult that this game has especially for the hallway of death. 11.) Tetris - I was more of a dr mario fan over tetris but i still love this game for its importance to video gaming in general and every gamer has had to play tetris once because its one of the most easily accessible games out there. Your first ten games is really interesting list because you've covered some stables but you've looked at some games that don't get a lot of mention and all the power to you for doing so.
Whachu talkin' bout Jay? That "Nasty Digitized 8-bit" bleeps and bloops on NES was bad ass! No, not ALL NES games had good music, but some of the best game soundtracks of all time come from NES. And honestly, I personally prefer the NES sounds and music bleeps, over say, TG16, Genesis, or even SNES sounds.
"It's set in, what is it? Hong Kong? Or Japania or somewhere. Somewhere overseas, somewhere NOT in the U.S." **Mailbox in the background says U.S. MAIL**
I feel blessed as an NES gamer to have played so many games US and Japan, to have beaten so many, and experienced so much. My list grows way past my past my top 20 list is fire. I respect the coming up as a kid thing, but when you put a game on ya top 20 you haven't beaten...I am like LUL, this jamoke for real? Thats me tho, no hate.
Green Lantern HG after you beat #3, u should reward yourself and play Ninja Gaiden on the Sega Master System. It's original, beautiful, fast, controls great, new enemies and mechanics, but i recommend it as a reward due to how easy it is. It should be fun to breeze through a Ninja Gaiden game after conquering the balls hard versions.
Good list, always liked speeding through Kung Fu, one of the bosses kinda slowed me up from mastering my speed, but there enlies the challenge of the game
iDGF999 it wasnt the game, it was the system. And it didn't technically break. It was the pin connector. But no matter how many times I'd get it replaced I would just get the blinking red light.
he calls it sympathy of the night lol
on the playstation playstation
I really love Sympathy of the Night :p
LOL
I thought it was because I was drunk that I heard that...guess not lol
Was looking for this comment. Happens @ 8:25
Gotta get that Ninja Gayden!
Lol soon as I heard him I came to make a similar comment
I hear it's a happy time
Its fantastic girlfriend! Lol
Im glad the channel is more active again and I hope this will make the views and subscribers go up for you ;)
You're an NES game
AlphaOmegaSin when are you coming back Big man. Miss your content
Hey Alpha
AlphaOmegaSin I mean....you ain’t wrong
Got em!
An LJN NES game... because he’s cheap.
8:24 yes, i also enjoyed SYMPATHY of the Night. Great game about how to be sympathetic towards sufferers of sleep insomnia.
top 20 Monday. TOP 20 MONDAY TONIGHT
Can't wait to see you guys at RetroPalooza
I m so bad at Castle Vania that I need Sympathy of the night.
Just busting balls Jay!!
Got em!
Some say D.B. Cooper's cash is under Jays hat, no one knows for sure. The conspiracy has begun.
Sympathy of the Chode
I CHERISH that you had Tiger Heli in your top 20!!! I subscribed just off of that!
VERY UNDERRATED and HAPPY to see a change from the "typical" NES top list!
Haha I love when they always say....”it’s a really good game”
Great video, looking forward to part 2. I only owned Bases Loaded 3 when I was a kid. But I got Bases Loaded 2 not long ago and it is very good.
I can just see billy sliding his glasses up on his face. “Duh, it’s uh, symphony, of, thuh nighttttt!”
Respect from New Zealand keep up that great work guys
funny how kung fu feels like game of death, but is tie-in to a jackie chan movie called wheels on meals. it's nothing like that movie!
older neighborhood kids teaching how in video games. holy moly the nostalgia!
River City Ransom is one of my favorites too. Back then it felt like a hidden gem, though everyone knows about it now.
Never heard of "Super Tecmo" Bowl, but Tecmo Super Bowl is awesome!
"Sympathy of the night"
Your description of madden was SPOT ON lol
you gamechasers are producing excellent content..thank you for all you guys do!! for me on the NES ...tecmo bowl, blades of steele, hoops, tmnt 2, and smb3 are my top 5
Hell yeah, bases loaded 2 is one of the few sports game I've ever liked, good early 90s memories!
cool list. Nice meeting you guys at Citywalk today.
9:00 was The Gaming Historian’s documentary condensed into 20 seconds.
Tiger Helly was my favorite shooter as a kid definitely one of the most underrated nes games
Hey Jay, for Rivercity Ransom you said it takes place somewhere over sea's but on the screen behind you of the game their is a us mail box and you had me laughing my ass off buddy thank you for it
Cool video cheers Big Jay
Great list thus far. Looking forward to the second half.
Jay says "If you will" almost as much as he says "actually" Great list man!
You know what would be funny? if you didn't edit out the mistakes.... oh wait.....
Jay fucks up his first line: you KNOW that shit is staying in.
Awesome picks! Very unique choices. Bases Loaded II was the only baseball game I had as a kid and I put in a fair amount of time with it, a solid fun baseball game for the NES.
Retro Patronum you missed out on Baseball Stars which was the best baseball game on any platform ever.
Sweetly can't wait for part 2 :-D
snow bros was fun. loved the co-op
Yo Jay, I'm guessing you've probably seen it, but if you haven't, Norm's video on Tetris is quite an eye-opener of what Tetris really did to quell the conflict in US-Soviet relations.

AK-CHU-LEE it's Tecmo Super Bowl not Super Tecmo Bowl. (Pushes up glasses)(Types on keyboard)
Wow. I never knew Tecmo Bowl had really cool music.
This is quite a solid list here, still need to pick up Tiger Heli myself.
Man I wish Snow Bros wasn't rare and expensive. I used to play the arcade version at the local pizza place as a kid, was awesome
Jay is finally back 🙌🏻
River city ransom is my favorite bet em up on the NES!
Not to mention that in the 1400 they kept alot of porkchops in walls
Tiger heli rules! One of my dads favourite nes games aswell !
That’s a really good game
Bases Loaded 2...also my fav NES baseball game! (RBI Baseball is a close 2nd)
I love Rygar! Only downside is it does not have a “save” feature
Gotta love some nes goodness!! Keep up the good work. I finished ninja gaiden 2 recently live, man it has some cheap enemies but it's superb
kevinwoolford123 Are you the dude who does videos with GameboysAreAwesome?!
Dudge yeah that's me :) the carboot hunting guy :D
kevinwoolford123 Would love to see a UK version of the game chasers, I'd pay good money for that! :p
Dudge we could ask the chasers to put on a British accent ;) Wish I had 10% of the editing skill they have. Love that the USA has retro everywhere but here in the UK it's very hard to find :(
kevinwoolford123 Tell me about it, I'm from the UK too! I live in Birmingham which has a fair few retro video game stores but I hardly find anything in the wild.
Gay-den guy-den. Can't have a nes debate without a little gay-guy action!
Debate as old as time
Not gonna lie it was tough sticking through this list after starting with a baseball game.
well then start working on improving your attention span because if its thrown off by tghat then thats not a good sign.
Ninja Gai-den! Hai!
Love the Tiger Heli inclusion. That game is underrated and so fun. I would sometimes play it for hours. It was challenging without being that difficult where you would throw the controller down or something...lol....you guys know what I mean.

Sympathy of the night!! Thats what she said lolol! love you guys keep up the awesome channel
Good solid games. Thank you for sharing.
My brother and I would fight each other in River City Ransom. We took turns pissing each other off!
Snow bros! Hell yeah! Wish I owned that game.
I wasn’t surprised but I enjoyed the video
You just reminded me. When I was five, I thought Kung Fu was called KONG Fu and that Tetris was called TEXAS.
im looking forward to seeing your top 10, especially after the game informer top 300 video. i'm expecting some good ones!
Man, I don't know if I can even name 20 games that I played on the NES. Though, the NES was where I started as a very small child, The SNES and Sega Genesis is where I really became a gamer. Let's see how many games I can name (that I played on the NES) off the top of my head.

2. Super Mario Bros.
3. Super Mario Bros. 3
4. Batman
5. Double Dragon
6. Double Dragon 2
7. Top Gun
8. Metal Gear
9. Duck Hunt
Well, that's about all I can think of. I'm sure I've played more. Off to google to see if I can jog my memory.
10. Tetris (don't know how I forgot this one.)
11. Castlvania
12. Ducktales
13. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
14. Dr. Mario
15. Donkey Kong
16. Bad Dudes
17. Battle toads and Double Dragon (for some reason I thought this was a SNES game.)
Well, that seems to be all the games that I can remember playing on NES even with google helping to jog my memory. Games like Ninja Gaiden 1 and 3 or Super Mario 2 are games that I actually played on the SNES with the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy and Super Mario All Stars cartridges, so I can't really count those.
when you can snatch the pebble from my hand
Sweet picks so far
Jay "the record was 4 minutes and I could do it in 5 minutes" Rogan
Someone count the amount of times he says “If you will”
He says river city ransom is set somewhere NOT in the U.S. , meanwhile in the background while showing the gameplay theres a mailbox that says U.S. mail ,haha
no mention of baseball stars o_0

8:26 Sympathy of the Night... weeew
I still love Madden, it's not like it's mechanically flawed.

solid.
It's all about Bad News Baseball!
I played the heli out of Tiger-Heli.
(RCR) "It's based in HK or Japan... somewhere not in the US"
Screen shows "U.S. Mail" clearly in the background
"It's set in, what is it? Hong Kong? Or Japania or somewhere. Somewhere overseas, somewhere NOT in the U.S."
**Mailbox in the background says U.S. MAIL**
Ninja homosexualden is an awesome game series!
He must have triggered some reds at the end hahha
I feel blessed as an NES gamer to have played so many games US and Japan, to have beaten so many, and experienced so much. My list grows way past my past my top 20 list is fire.

Nice! I currently working on beating Ninja Gaiden III after a year long trilogy play
Green Lantern HG after you beat #3, u should reward yourself and play Ninja Gaiden on the Sega Master System. It's original, beautiful, fast, controls great, new enemies and mechanics, but i recommend it as a reward due to how easy it is. It should be fun to breeze through a Ninja Gaiden game after conquering the balls hard versions.
Oh yes I remember sympathy of the night. It came a year later after symphony of the night correct?
I have Snow Brothers complete in box. I like to brag about it.
Sympathy of the Night... I don't have that game.. I wish I did have it, though.
IT'S VADER!
Hoping Pow makes it on the top 10
Bases loaded was a pretty good Nes game... Ninja Gaiden is a difficult series period!
We Deem! It’s ninja gayden
Every one of your choices is wrong, out of order, and personally offend me. My feelings matter. lol jm
Greg Welsh
Are, not is. You're welcome.
Good list, always liked speeding through Kung Fu, one of the bosses kinda slowed me up from mastering my speed, but there enlies the challenge of the game
ninja gaymen
Tiny Toon Adventures That's really good game
Tigerheli=love/hate relationship... music is great
I played ninja gaiden once but then my NES broke. Did those games ever get rereleased? I can never get a working NES
ZakPak On the WiiU virtual console
And the snes
NES games don't break unless you run them over with a truck. Are you sure it just didn't need a good cleaning?
iDGF999 it wasnt the game, it was the system. And it didn't technically break. It was the pin connector. But no matter how many times I'd get it replaced I would just get the blinking red light.
ZakPak I'm surprised because the system is a tank too. I haven't come across one I couldn't get working.
I prefer the Tengen version of Tetris. It has a two player on the same screen feature and the music is better.
