Recommend some really good non-Megaman/Castlevania platformers for the good ole NES?

Damned, I played this as a kid! Thanks for reminding me about this game.


On topic Power Blade and Darkwing Duck have already been mentionned so... Maybe Rainbow Island ?

A "fun" story about this game, when I was six my dad took me to a Toys R Us to get an NES game and I told him I wanted Zelda. I took the game to the counter and the prick working there told my dad I was too young for Zelda and recommended Kung Fu instead. My dad bought me Kung Fu. I haven't forgiven my father to this day for that.

Thanks for the great recs!

I had totally forgotten about Kabuki Quantum Fighter and Shadow of the Ninja and Journey to Silius. Gotta try those out.
 
Probably doesn't fit your category but I like Earthworm Jim a lot.



I play it on Genesis though. There's something about the sound that I like on that platform better.

Kyatto ninden teyandee (which you assume will be a bandai trash but instead it's good tecmo material)
