    Tetris and Tecmo Bowl were both right there, but I couldn't put SM 1-3 down until I mastered all of them. 3 was the best of the bunch iirc.

    I had a fighter pilot game called Sky Shark that was right there with these three.

    SM 2 is a clear lagger for me. 1 is great because it is the OG, and 3 is in my top 3 because of the “choose your own adventure” (as opposed to linear style) interface suited perfectly with my personality.

    I loved the flying suits they introduced in SM3 and how well they designed levels so that, while the suit could basically help you cheat past early levels, it was the only way to pass later ones and you had to be really good with it.

    When I try I can easily visualize 1 and 3, but can't actually remember much from #2. I think there was some kind of flying suit thing in it too, but it was more like a glider thing where you'd come crashing down.

    OG Mario Brothers was as good as it gets. Many here are too young to understand the greatness of that game. Loved Excitebike as well.

    Tetris
    Outside of Tetris, there was this game called Blaster Master that was totally rad. Super hard game with no saves (like most back then), so I had to be a total loser and go at it for months, getting a little further every time. Beating the game took over four hours, so it was quite the long haul.

    I probably played Double Dribble more than any of them followed by Tecmo Bowl. But Legend of Zelda was lots of fun too so I'm going with that one.

    I loved the SWISH! sound on Double Dribble

    Excitebike is a great call. Was a great arcade game too.

    SMB 1 and 3, both Tecmo Bowls, Double Dribble, the RBIs and Excitebike are all great answers.

    I probably spent more time playing this one than any of them though.



    Another write in option would be Double Dragon.
