Intro drawing by Ashley Anderson: https://pressstarttobegin.net/

After years of focusing on the best games for the NES, I decided to change gears and focus on lesser known cartridges that have, for one reason or another, generally escaped the public discussion and general nostalgia. This series highlights many of the relatively unknown, obscure, and unloved titles in the Nintendo Entertainment System’s library. Some of these games are at best mediocre. Many are painfully bad, some of the worst NES games around. Most are hilarious for all the wrong reasons! Occasionally, OCCASIONALLY, a handful of them are actually good, borderline hidden gems.

While you won’t find any of these on the NES Classic, some of these titles have managed to make their way onto the Nintendo Switch, so if you don’t have an original Nintendo console or ROMs escape you ethically or technologically, there are several ways to play them.

Want more? Me too! Until then, lots of other articles where the pictures don’t move and words have to be read can be found on my website: http://top100nesgames.com

Man coming bsck to this one from the most recent and while these are still really good youve definitely grown a ton in this craft and it shows! 👍
@JoeyJ0J0 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
This was put on the Piko Interactive 3 cart for Evercade. Meh
@YYmmmYY January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
Compared to my other NES games, Metal Mech was the most 'realistic'. It was incredibly difficult and I don't think I ever passed the second level.

It wasn't the best game but it definitely has a place in the mid tier
@stevenpotter2903 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
I must be retarded or something, because I love that game. The over stimulation from the sounds is borderline orgasmic. It's like this is what war is supposed to sound like.
@RetroMaticGamer January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
0:41 That tank? You're overdoing it. Just stomp on the damn thing! Jump on top of it a few times and be done with it! The Mech is HEAVY and Mario-squishes most anything it lands on. Those bigger tanks take a few stomps, but you'll take WAY less damage just hopping on them than trying to line up perfect shots.
@ezragrun January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
Me and a friend rented this one. It’s neat that you can exit your mech and explore the area a la Blaster Master; unfortunately, the fun stops there. You’re constantly getting hit by untouchable enemies, the likes of which are nondescript “things” floating around a la Deadly Towers. We made it to the second stage and called it good. It’s okay for a Saturday afternoon rental.

8-bit ambien
Consider that stolen
@SansSelf January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
I definitely tried this one weekend as a kid and thought it was a neat idea. The reality was not nearly so worth the time, hence one weekend only.
@infernicide666 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
This would have been one of those games I’d have rented in 1991 as an 8 year old and I would have had to have forced myself to like it. I still can’t get over the butterflies as enemies. That must be like the Walmart version of ED 209. Made of plastic I guess.
@Addictedtocollecting01 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
I love your sense of humor. Embrace the Dad jokes..
@tablechair January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
When I was young i thought it was cool because the level with the lifts, felt like a open world :D
@EuSouRCS January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
5:52 pretending to be a Metal Mech X with the quality of Mega Man X series!
BTW this game was ambitious AF,another of those NES games with so many ideas that turns everything into a cartridge of confusion.
@Orpheusftw January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
One of the most INSTANTLY disappointing, mentally draining, and frustrating games I've ever played.
I think I only played less than 5 minutes, but it was enough for a "life's too short for this..." realization. 👎
@JohnnyBurnes January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
You call it 8-bit Ambian, but the sound is like the worst alarm clock. XD

Had this game as a kid. AWESOME IDEA! Don't think I made it past the 1rst level.
@KCUFyoufordoxingme January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
I owned this game as a child. Probably put 300 hours into it. Never saw the flying part. Maybe never saw level 2. I wandered forever with no clue what to do. I also had xenophobe, so i assumed it was like that. A game that never ended and could not be beat.
@davehollis4258 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
You were definitely not listening to the required Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins spoken word albums when you played this game.
@rickykeim2005 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
this Game seems like it's pretty hard.
@mindjam5320 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
What do you mean "no one"?! I did, so as my friends :)
@AGore88 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
I've had childhood memories of this game, but never could remember the name or much about it. You've finally solved a 25 year old mystery in my life I can't thank you enough!
@davenwatts8173 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
Looks like a mix of blaster master n that dinosaur mech game whos name escapes me
@segadriven January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
You'll be pleased to know this got re-released recently on Evercade XD
@ser6Ijvolk January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
Cool concept, poor execution. If I had to guess, those two guys bit off way more than they could chew, gave up after understanding that somewhere mid way, but forced themselves to "finish" it. They just barely got it "working", no longer caring whether it looked good, sounded good, controlled good, had good level design or was generally fun to play.
@joshuabidelspach9260 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
Every Friday night as a 7 year old I went to the video rental shop ended up with games like this...kids don't know how good they have it these days lol
@Tolbat January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
wow this was bad, thanks for suffering.
@peterbowman5358 January 12, 2025 - 8:49 am
Can you eject to fight that short tank?
