NES
This is a list of good games for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System, AKA Famicom)

Famicom
These are the games that didn't quite make it out West, but are still worth checking out. Whether you own a clone system, an actual Famicom, a converter for your NES, or maybe just looking for ROMs, here's the list for you.

[* Denotes the game only came out on the Famicom Disk System]

ROM Hacks
In this section, we recommend ROM Hacks that we consider worth checking out

How to play
You will need a ROM of the original games. Sometimes you need a specific version of the said ROM but it's usually told in the readme file.

You will also need a ROM patcher such as Lunar IPS, which you can download here http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/

And of course, you will need the patches that turn the original ROMs into the hacked ones. Links should be provided in the description, if not, most of them hacks should be avalaible at www.romhacking.net and/or at http://www.zophar.net/ Finally, run the patched ROMs in your emulator of choice (or put them on your expensive Powerpak to play them on a real console, but that's only if you're a rich bastard). If nothing happens, or if something odd happens, then you probably applied the patch on a wrong version of the ROM of the game.
