What's your favorite sleeper 8-bit game?

[Noah]

I just wanted to make an observation that the game seems to get graphically worse as it goes along.

And yes, I'm sure that they're all 3 different versions of the game remade for different systems and/or sequels.

Quite correct observation! Busy at work so I don't have the time, or memory to find each screenshot from the same version.

1. Gun Smoke - This was propably my favourite game when I was a kid. You're a cowboy who shoots enemies. Yeah, that's all there is to this. But nevermind the basic idea, this game is very addicting.

Gunsmoke had great multiplayer, loved playing that one with my pals.

That first game is hilarious, I have not seen a greater rip off since Mario Bros 2 from doki doki =D

Sagaia Master System version, lower bitrate sound than on the megadrive, sounds sicker than that port on several levels, plays and looks amazing, too bad Nintendo never had either of the original two except for the gameboy version which might as well be called sagaia gaiden.

Alpha Roid, first you shoot shit while trying to power up, then you come to these craters you can fly into where you become a gundam fighting another gundam and you get to beat the fuck out of each other, hard as shit though.

Every single compile game on the NES spare for puyo puyo. Guardian Legend, Gunnac, Zanac, I think there might be another but those 3 will do more than keep you occupied, Zanac'll probably make you murder small woodland creatures.
