Let's Name the Top 100 NES Game Together

[gecko101]

What about Pinball? I still play that game today and rack up some pretty huge scores, but if it's not worthy of being one of the best that's cool too.

I personally thought that game is pretty terrible. It's kinda sluggish and it has no sound.

Well it has sound, just no BGM. But like I said, if it's not worthy then no biggie. But it's one of my fav NES games from growing up, so it holds a special place for me. ha
