Notes: Adventure game, one of the early legends for the NES. You pick from four of seven different family members (each with different items and abilities) to find four crowns in your quest to put an end to an evil dragon. May seem primitive at first, but it’s addictive and quite long.
Notes: Action game taken from the arcade version, but poorly presented. Your character makes ridiculous jumps over entire forests as you seek out a kidnapped girl. I believe my copy has bite marks in it for a reason.
Notes: Very interesting action/adventure game that follows the comic strip series pretty well. You control Prince Valiant and have to make your way to Camelot while avoiding enemies and monsters. Deserves way more attention that it has received so far.
Notes: Epic adventure game that created one of the most legendary characters of all time. Go through the overworld to locate various mazes where you must confront bosses to piece together the triforce. A variety of items to locate before you face Gannon. Essential to every collector’s stash. This is the nice, shiny gold version.

Notes: Exactly the same as the first version except for one small detail. On the other, right below the word “Zelda,” it states “Experience the challenge of endless adventure.” On this version, it doesn’t. Doesn’t seem as mystical to me this way. Just about as hard to find as the other one though, not a big deal.
Notes: A later release dubbed a “classic” version. Same game, though a bit more difficult to find. Not as sought after as the original because everyone loves the shiny over the dull.
