High school retro game class

badATchaos:
I'm running a small Video Game Appreciation class at my school. We go through the ages, working our way up to modern games. I play whatever interesting documentaries I can find (mostly G4's Icons) and bring in any historically significant games I might have.
Since I don't have many Wood age games I used Atari Vault on steam to demonstrate early arcade games.
Now that we're getting into 8bit games what games should we look into? Any suggestions?
kashell:
This sounds like an awesome class. I'll throw the original Final Fantasy as one of the suggestions. It's neat to see how the games went from building a party of four, pixelated party members to these cinematic blockbusters.
turf:
Super Mario Bros.  It is 8-Bit video gaming
soera:
Phantasy star is a great 8 bit RPG. Of course Mario 3 has to be in there. Tetris. Bionic Commando. Zelda. Metroid. Punch out. Sonic. Alex Kidd. Golden Axe. Ninja Gaiden. Tecmo football. Mega man

Couple of lesser entries - Rambo, Adventure island, Lolo, Capcom Disney titles, TMNT, RC pro am, Castle of Illusion, Astro warrior, Space harrier.
