Genghis Khan was also an awesome KOEI game.

This is bad news for me. I will be playing this all the time. Can you still pull the nose-tackle slide?

Use of the defensive line is outlawed in most online tecmo circles since it is really cheesy/requires no skill and makes many of the offensive plays useless.

Did anyone actually have any success at Nobunaga's Ambition? I remember holding two fiefs once. And that was it. I loved the game but jesus was it long - did anyone actually come close to winning at this? it was so rigged IME.

re: TSB - I'd love to get into these circles, although I'd like to know just how good people are. I've read the insanely detailed Leif Powers' FAQs - are people at a level where they exploit weak OLBs on running plays?

Base Wars or for 2-player mode
Battletoads

After reading the thread other mentions include: Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Battle of Olympus, Dragon Warrior, Double Dribble, Star Tropics. And I gotta include the original Nintendo Baseball game which was the first game I bought for $24.99. Man that game was so basic but it ruled.

Edited to add: Goonies II was wicked and I also really liked Gunsmoke.

Gunsmoke! Yeah, I enjoyed the crap out of that game. The control scheme making it absurdly difficult to shoot straight ahead instead of at a 30 degree angle to the left or right was quirky, to say the least, but somehow pleasing.
