Here are some of my all-time favorites for each system:

**NES**: Super Mario Brothers 3, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Castlevania, and The Legend of Zelda are classics!

**SNES**: Definitely check out Chrono Trigger, A Link to the Past, and Super Metroid. Those are some of the best titles out there!

**Genesis**: You can’t go wrong with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Gunstar Heroes, and Phantasy Star 4. Lots of fun!

Great list! I’d also add Super Castlevania IV to the SNES recommendations. It’s highly regarded by many!

For the NES, don’t miss Faxanadu and Mega Man 2. They’re super fun!

On the SNES side, you gotta play Super Mario World and Turtles in Time. For Genesis, try Gunstar Heroes and Streets of Rage 2. You really can’t go wrong with these picks!
