20 Best NES Games Of All Time

20. Dr. Mario

Are we sure that Mario is a qualified doctor? The first of a couple of puzzle games on this list, Dr. Mario is an excellent title about feeding somebody pills to kill off an illness, although giving anybody that many pills is going to kill off more than just germs.

In Dr. Mario, you have to match up the colours of your pills with the colours of the germs. Get rid of all of them and you win and go to the next level. It's simple fun, which inevitably makes this one of the better aged NES games; Dr. Mario is just as fun now as it was when the game came out.

You can even play multiplayer so you and a friend can race to see who can overdose their patient the fastest.

If you want to play Dr. Mario nowadays but don't have an NES then you're in luck because the title has sequels on basically every Nintendo console, and if you want to play the original it's available as a part of the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Just please don't resort to playing Dr. Mario World.
