I'm sure this has already been done, but what are the top 10 hardest to find licensed NES games?  I know everyone will have their own opinions, but I'm going for a full US set, and wanted to know what to keep an eye out for.  Anyone care to chime in?

Thanks, I expect Duke, Crabmaster, and Shadow to respond soon.  Oh and by the way, I'm not counting Stadium Events.

I'll just add in a caveat here: This does depend on supply in your area vs. online sales...

Generally speaking, however, these are ones I feel need to be in the Top 10:
Bonk's Adventure
Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak
Bubble Bobble Part 2
Little Samson
Cowboy Kid
Panic Restaurant
TMNT: Tournament Fighters
Gun+Nac
Power Blade 2

EDIT: Bandit Kings is in NA's Top 10? There's been one sitting at the flea market for some time...

OK, not counting Stadium Events, here are the other 6 licensed games I still need:

Color a Dinosaur
Flintstones: Dino Peak
Little Samson
Panic Restaurant
TMNT: Tournament Fighters
Zombie Nation

Beyond those I'd say Bubble Bobble 2, Bonk's Adventure, Bandit Kings of Ancient China, and Stack-up with the parts.

Shadow has a pretty good list there. You can swap a few titles in and out like:

Snow Brothers
Dragon Fighter
Wanye's World
The Jetsons
Fire 'n Ice


A few sports titles to keep an eye out for too are:

Dusty Diamond's All Star Softball
Jimmy Connor's Tennis
Pro Sports Hockey
RC Pro Am II

All pretty hard to find too.

Haha!  Yeah I figured it would depend on your area.  Thanks guys, and for what it's worth I have:

Jimmy Connors Tennis
Dusty Diamond's All Star Softball
(Fire N Ice and The Jetsons: Cogswells Caper are getting shipped to me tomorrow.)

It is pretty random. I've found a couple Duck Tales 2 and Power Blade 2's locally, and missed a $5 Fire 'n Ice by a day recently.

My advice is just to always look around your area, and flip what you end up with to get the ones you never seem to find.

Sounds like you already have a good grasp on things then and are off to a good start. Keep us posted with any other updates. Its fun to see you other guys get closer to your goals too.

I sure will.  It's been a few years, but it seemed like Color a dinosaur popped up regularly around my area.

Missed locally, by sheer stupidity or just not having money available at the time:
Fire 'N Ice ($5, but passed due to a peeling label)
Flintstones
Cowboy Kid
Little Samson
TMNT Tournament (CIB)
Jimmy Connors
Dusty Diamond
Gun+Nac

Things I often find in my area:
Snow Brothers (I've sold 2 here)
Wayne's World (Never realized this was rare)

I would also add in the Ubisoft version of Indian Jones & the Last Crusade in the hard to find list.
