I decided since we don't have anything like this currently, I will start this.
I'm going to do a Famicom World's Best 25 Famicom Games of all time. Basically, it will be a big poll web with multiple "heats", in the style of a tournament. This first thread will just be people naming games they want to be in the votes. If someone else has mentioned your game already, you do not need to post it again, any game mentioned in here will go through to the voting. Then, there will be multiple heats over the following few weeks, each with a poll of 10 randomly selected games from the nominations, and the top X games from every heat (X being based on how many games are nominated) will go through to the next round, and this tournament-style system will continue until we have a final 25.
Rules for nominations: People can only nominate 3 unique games each. If you nominate a game already been nominated, I will notify you in some way, and you can renominate that game. Your nominations can be changed at any time up until the end. Nominations will last 2 weeks as of this post, and will therefore be closed on the 22nd of September, 19:35, British Summer Time. I will then do a bit of admin, and the first poll should be up shortly. Games can be any licensed or unlicensed FC or FDS games. Multicarts themselves are banned, but you are allowed to nominate an individual game on a multicart.
So, post your nominations!
Antarctic Adventure
You realise you can nominate 3...
Yes I did realize that, I'll give you my two remaining options later, when I make up my mind.

To help out Muzer, I've organized a master list of all the games that have been nominated thusfar. A few people either didn't read or forgot the rules Muzer laid out, so before the nominations close I want to give those people the opprotunity to recast your nominations. Unfortuntely, there are some games that some have nominated nominated prior to some of your posts so if you see your name in bold below, you need to edit your posts and nominate something else that hasn't been nominated yet instead. That applies to:
superfamiking's nomination of Super Mario Bros. 1 [son_ov_hades nominated that before you did]
stan's nominations of Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic [ericj got to it first], Crisis Force [son_ov_hades got that one]
KEVMAN569's nommies for Summer Carnival '92 [Ghegs did the honors already] and Joy Mecha Fight [JC's all over that]
Oh and Jabra, please select individual games rather than entire series.
Okay, with that out of the way, here is the master list of games as of Sept 11th. Games are listed according to their English titles as not to confuse those who might not know the Japanese name.

I have a cart that has Pokemon Green, and Pocket monster. Its awesome, but still needs a case because I received it without a case.
Pocket Monsters is alright, but Pokemon Green is ultimate; the gameplay is hacked from Hello Kitty but has better features and real pokemon added.
Alright my updated list is:
Castlevania 3
Recca
and Gradius
Tough one.
The Goonies
Doki Doki Panic
Dragonball
Updating mine. My last two are
Splatterhouse
Holy Diver
Super mario 3 (I don't think anyone can say it wasn't a great game)
Gimmick (really is a great platformer)
Akumajou Densetsu
The nes/famicom era really was about platformers to me and I think these are 3 of the best.
If you want to make a list that means something to people, I'd suggest best 25 famicom games that were never seen in the western world (in any form) but that can be played by people that don't know a lick of japanese.
Okay, update time. But unforuntely some of you still didn't read what Muzer had said: no two people can nominate the same game. Each of the three games you nominate has to be different from what others have already nominated. You can refer to this master list I've put together to see what has and has not yet been nominated. This is accurite up to my post here.
Those who need to recast their nominees:
michaelthegreat's nominations of Super Mario Bros. 3 [popibros1 nominated that before you did] and Castlevania 3 [KEVMAN569 beat you to it]
KEVMAN569's nommies for Summer Carnival '92 [Ghegs did the honors already]
stan's nominations of Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic [ericj got to it first]
Jabra, please select individual games rather than entire series.

Thank you. I believe I will one day, maybe not soon but one day for sure.
ok, I will change to add mother and bokosuka wars (how could we have forgotten?)
Okay, update time. WIth only a few days left now, those who haven't voted yet please post soon if you want your nomanees to count!
But alas, therre still some lingering issues with some nominees:
The Uninvited Gremlin, you can't nominate Splatterhouse Wanpaku Gerfitti or Holy Diver. Both were already nominated by thegreatgonzo. Please refer to my list to what has and what has not been nominated. Until you tell me to change it, I'm going to leave what you already nominated on the master list.
stan's nomination of Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic [ericj got to it first]
Jabra, you need to select individual games rather than entire series. Castlevania series for example isn't specific enough.

I did not nominate those, if you read my post correctly you would have noticed that I was responding to the Gonzo's nominations of those 2.
I already made my own nominations prior.
Castlevania
Dr. Mario
Fire Emblem
Tsuppari Oozumou
Spartan X
Hi no Tori - Houou Hen - Gaou no Bouken
I find these games to be very very enjoyable, let's say it that way.
Mother
Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa
Return of Mario Bros.

Glad to hear at least one person is fond of this, I was pretty surprised that it wasn't mentioned yet.
OK, no more nominations are allowed! Anything after this post is discounted, and any post with nominations in editted after this post, or any nominations that are still erronous, will be discounted.
Also, please note that Jabra has editted his post a while back, satoshi_matrix
Okay Muzer, here's your master list, assuming nobody wants to change anything.
EDIT: I looked back and seen that Jarba edited his post to make choices. Unfortuntely, all three games he picked were previously picked by someone else; if he wants his votes to count, he'll have to pick three games not on the list. The only reason I say so is because it would be unfair to Syzygy01, Mo and popibros1 as they would then have to edit their posts.
