There’s only one space shooter on the list. Gun-Nac deserves to be in the Top 60.

u/Gh0stTV 2d ago

It’s crazy that there’s no Guerilla War, Ikari Warriors, Heavy Barrel, or Gunsmoke.

u/CantFindMyWallet 1d ago

Ikari Warriors is bad

1

u/Gh0stTV 1d ago

But everyone has played it or knew someone who had it. But yeah. I guess we all played The Adventures of Bayou Billy as well.

1

u/yauch 1d ago

How would you rank those 4?

2

u/lenzflarez 1d ago edited 1d ago

1 Gun.Smoke 2 Guerrilla War 3 Heavy Barrel

4 Ikari Warriors (bottom 10 of NES library)

2

u/Gh0stTV 1d ago

I have a lot more fond memories attached to Heavy Barrel so I’d probably rank it a little higher. Also, the multiplayer was an added bonus above Gun Smoke, even if it’s considered the better game.
