I expanded my Top NES games list to an even 100. This has been something I’ve been chipping away at in my spare time over the past few months. Check it out! davegladow.com/the-best-nes...

Jazz Fest is irresistible. Eat some of the best food you’ve ever had. Wander into a Mardi Gras Indian battle. Stumble into Steve Earle recounting a remarkable career and punctuating it with a touching performance of “This City.” Then watch a neighbor and fellow school parent perform on your way out.

Hey, the race is conquered, but you can still give! Plus, if you do, you already know I’ve fulfilled my end of the bargain! Thanks again to everyone who donated already!

Tempest 2000 is like a pinball table mixed with a night club. And drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. davegladow.com/tempest-2000...

Ice Hockey isn’t the sort of thing you need to play unless you have a weird NES obsession. And yet, I have a weird NES obsession. So… davegladow.com/ice-hockey-r...

Glanced over the Switch review thingie, and I enjoyed getting to look at my entire history, not just 2025.

54. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages — I enjoyed this a fair bit more than its sibling, as the switching dynamic re: the world map felt more natural/enjoyable, the story was more compelling, and I thought the dungeons rocked. Seasons isn’t terrible, but Ages, to me, is better.

53. Warriors of Fate — A mostly paint-by-numbers brawler that differentiates itself with bizarre characterization and odd story beats. One of the dudes regularly bites into his enemies like a vampire. Good times.

Just rode the Scrambler at Celebration in the Oaks and I think my brain slid down into my neck.

52. Metal Slug — First time playing this arcade run-n-gun, and I really enjoyed it. Every ridiculous war cliche you can think of, with fun gameplay and some good art and sound, what’s not to love, honestly? Better in co-op, it’s like Contra on steroids.

Dave Gladow @davegladow.bsky.social · 06/12/2025
51. Ninja Gaiden II (NES) — I’ve always held this game in high esteem, yet considered NG1 more of an essential play. After revisiting, I feel vindicated about the 2nd part of that statement. It’s totally fine! Insanely difficult with great cinematics, it is pure Ninja Gaiden. Just less essential.

Just finished another one last night (Oracle of Seasons), so I updated the tiers. Gonna try to get Oracles of Ages knocked out next. (For 2026, I've got FIVE more on the backlog.)

50. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons — As these games go, it checks the boxes it needs to. And I can appreciate they tried to do something different with the mechanics and the double-release with OoA. I don’t think it advances things enough, and I disliked the roadblock-filled map. It’s fine.

49. Mega Man V (Game Boy) — The candy to get you in the door is the collection of brand-new bosses and settings, instead of the recycled material of the other GB titles. But it’s actually the level design and zigzagging story beats that make the game a worthwhile play.
