When I decided I was going to collect NES games, I needed a starting point. Everyone talks about top lists and all the lists I can find online seem to opinions in current day. I was looking for something different.... I decided to compile the Nintendo Power "Top 20" (yes I know, it started as a Top 30, but since it later shrank to a Top 20, I only utilized it as a Top 20 list). Giving #1 twenty points and #20 - one point. I have to say the list was surprising. It only includes 127 games! With a sports game in the top 10!! It is 1 Player and RPG heavy. I'm not sure exactly how NP compiled the list. Some of the notes in various issues hint that it was sales based. While others hint that is was reader based. I was NP subscriber for many years and don't remember ever voting for anything top related... I still have my Gold 3 Wing NP Pin from back in the day. Well here is the NP Top 20 list: Super Mario Bros 3 1038

This is a pretty interesting summary. I always enjoyed the Top 30 back in the day. I didn't have many of the games on the list, but it gave me plenty of ideas for what to play in the future The top three is pretty much what I would expect, but a few things did surprise me:
