Battletoads and Double Dragon, interesting game. I remember seeing that on the rental shelf and going "...wait..are these doods from the same game.."
Kid Icarus from the NES was a well-known game right? Oh! Adventure of Lolo was the game I mentioned before! hahah, ah, shit..hello nostalgia.
Bayou Billy on the NES..wow. Nothing like trudging through swamps..actually..trudging through swamps and finding a WHIP to hurt people with. Surprisingly fun game at the time, but my attention was easily satiated.
Bee 52 was a game I rented but the damn cart would'nt work, I was so frustrated. I always wondered what it was like.
Cabal was a third person shooter of sorts, you had a reticle from which you'd shoot at things on screen, and you had a little guy that was in the front of the screen(your character). As a soldier you took cover behind various walls and so on, and would shoot at enemies and so on that would pop out. Eventually your cover would get knocked down peice by peice, it was actually the first game that I can recall that really did the whole "use cover", and on the NES it was awesome.
Castlequest had you running around dodging enemies and traps in an effort to find keys and steal gold from..a castle!
Who Framed Roger Rabbit! - When I played this game, it eluded me entirely. However, the movie was awesome, so thats ok.
DynoWarz - Destruction of Spondylus(!) - Dear Lord, what could be more fun than giant mechanical dinosaurs?! Nothing when you're young, thats what!
Fester's Quest: The only thing I remember about this game, was you were Fester(From the Adam's Family), and you killed alot of creepy shit. Seriously, look at the box art..thats an eye grabber if there ever was one.
Goonies and Goonies II - Based on the movie, but from what I recall a 'meh' sort of game(both of them).
Gremlins 2:The New Batch - I did'nt get very far in this game, infact I think I rented it merely out of morbid curiosity than anything because at the time, the Gremlins movies were my one true fear in life.
Karnov was the side-scrolling game I mentioned before. You're a big fat russian dood killing monsters and so on. Was a fun game, but at the time it was so random; though the enemies in it were cool at the time.
Low G Man - This game was actually pretty interesting at the time. Reminded me alot of Ninja Gaiden; except alot of weapons/upgrades and even vehicles if you killed the driver. I can remember the clerk telling my mom "Uh..are you sure you want to rent this? My son tried it and he had trouble with it." My mom looked at me and I'm like "..are you kidding? I picked it out, I'm going to atleast TRY it." And low, it was good; and we later joked at the clerk's kids expense.
Mechanised Attack - This game was the SHIT. It originated in the arcade if I remember correctly, and the port to the NES was quite fun. Had the screen going on direction and you'd shoot enemies and alot of stuff in the background. Imagine blowing apart helicoptors, APC's and eventually even a friggen battleship;
WIN.
Metal Mech was the game I mentioned before, where you're in a city in a two-legged walker. Able to get out and goto sewers, etc. For some reason the walker really reminded me of the mech-unit from Robocop.
Predator: Soon The Hunt Will Begin - Surprisingly at the time, this game was win to me merely because I loved the movie Predator. Though the Predator was weaksauce everytime you fought him. =[
Q-Bert - I'm pretty sure this game was well-known, atleast I'd hope so because this game was awesome on the Atari.
S.C.A.T. - The doods in marketing dropped the ball on this one. Aside from snickering as I rented it, the game has you using a jetpack and killing aliens. It wasn't innovative, or all that great; but for a kid who needed to wittle away a weekend it worked.
Section Z - Game had awesome box art, and it was cool. Nuff said.
Skate or Die! - This was a wonky game, and was decent enough for my brother and I to kill a weekend with.
Stealth ATF - Neat stealth fighter side-scrolling game. Why? Because you were the one who took off and landed the aircraft!
Toobin - I'm ashamed to have played this.
Track and Field - Ditto.
