It's been a long, hard process. But, with the assistance of an esteemed colleague of mine we sat down and produced a ranking of every NES game that has seen domestic release (plus a few extras). I'm not really comfortable disclosing our methodologies, since we might sell them at some point to buy pizzas, and I'm quite sure that someone out there will find fault in this listing because we put some game he hated over some game he loved. And all I can really say to that is, "get your own website and make your own list". Now, hit the jump for the complete listings, and let the debates begin!
