RCR was the first NES game that I fell in love with that didn't have Mario in the title, and I still think it's one of the best games for the system. The inclusion of RPG elements elevates its approachable beat 'em up mechanics greatly, and it's surprisingly fair in its approach to difficulty, unlike most NES games. If you don't enjoy beat 'em ups or 8-bit games, it probably won't change your mind, but in terms of games that I just love to pick up and play through every now and then, RCR is near the top of the list. I just wish the co-op ran at a better framerate.
