NES (+ Works Playalong)
Playing along with Jeremy Parish's NES Works video series [EDIT (March 12, 2023): also beginning to incorporate the NES Works Gaiden series] and ranking games as I go, for fun! Will also morph into just a favorite NES/FDS games list when I've caught up. [EDIT (September 12, 2023): Oops, I caught up! Now ranking games not covered by Jeremy as long as I'm familiar enough with them and think to do it. Additions listed at the bottom of this blurb.]

Putting this one instead of the one with the NES box art since that version seems to be the same page as another version of the game, kind of weird!
This is specifically a stand-in for Linus Spacehead, which doesn't appear to have its own entry on the site [though the other games in this bundle do, and they've been ranked separately]
Baseball Pro's -
BMX Simulator -
Soccer Simulator -
Pro Tennis -

Treating this as a stand-in for Miss Peach World & Menace Beach as well since they're all effectively the same game [Sunday Funday far and away runs the best of the three]
