Although I have not played them all, growing up I have watched many of these games. For the full article head over to retrojunk.com. I also find it to be shocking that there is no Final Fantasy games listed or even Castlevania. I also have recurring dreams of dying constantly in Mario- but maybe that was my lack of gaming skills… Well here is the list provided by retrojunk.com, on the Digg for this many people are stating this list is crappy - I really don’t know do to the lack of games I played back then.

10 - Top Gun
9 - Bart vs. the Space Mutants
8 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
7 - Yo! Noid
6 - The Karate Kid
5 - Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones
4 - Mega Man
3 - Ghosts n Goblins
2 - Battletoads

What NES game got your panties up in a bunch?

Personally I think this is ridiculous, granted kids these days dont go outside enough, but I believe that should be up to the parents and/or guardian of the child.

The Sierra Club — a group dedicated to environmentalism and preservation — has proposed that a tax be levied against kids who choose video games or computers rather than venturing out-of-doors. The tax, also being referred to as “No Child Left Inside,” would ostensibly encourage kids to get up off of their fat, lazy back-ends and hit the trails, mountains, and waterways of our nation’s parks and other natural treasures… by further taxing video games and TVs. Recent studies have shown links to obesity, lowered academic scores, and the rise of attention-deficit disorder in America’s kids to increased time spent indoors, though we suspect the problem lies with bad parenting rather than an entire industry of game-makers and electronics companies. Would adding a one-percent sales tax on our gear (and penalizing children who have plenty of good reasons to stay inside) increase kids’ desire to head outdoors instead of “finishing the fight?” We’ve got our doubts.
