Underrated NES Games
This crowd-pleaser combines different gameplay mechanics into a truly rewarding experience. This is a game that I have come to appreciate even more as an adult.
You play as Farron who must defeat the evil king Zaras with the help of your trusty dog Zap who can be summoned with a magic whistle.
Take on a flying robot, gunslinger cat, and even characters from the cartoon show like Rock Bottom. At the end of the game, you go toe-to-toe with the mad Professor himself in order to save the day!
I hope that I have inspired you to checkout some of these great games on the NES. What underrated games would be on your list for the system?
Stay retro my friends!

Felix the Cat looks like it would be a lot of fun! The changes in Guevara/Guerilla don't surprise me at all. Bionic Commando removed all references to Hitler and the nazis for the US release (but kept his exploding head!)

I love playing Dragon Spirit! It was one of my favorites. We also played Rampart to death. Once you get to the Greek fire ships it becomes murderously hard. It was also a blast playing against each other turning the opponent's walls into Swiss cheese. I don't recommend Rampart in the arcade however as there was no joystick only a trackball that made building walls in time impossible.

Wow! I’ve not played any of these titles. Thanks for bringing them to our attention. Looks like I missed out on some fun play.

Surprisingly, don't remember playing any of these 5 games myself. I will have to take your word for it. Stay retro, yourself!

i have the nintendo power issue covering a guide for the felix the cat game, never got around to renting it but it looked like a fun, basic platform romp from the screenshots that were provided so after i bought my nes classic i added the game to it. some of these other games i've definitely never seen or heard about before. great read!
