Currently Playing - Master Games List
Read along! Play along!
Nintendo is Great is a Substack devoted to playing and exploring every game ever released for a Nintendo console/handheld in chronological order.
The Master Games List is a guide to help show you where I’m at and where I’m going. If you’re new to Nintendo is Great and you want to start reading from the beginning, or you just want to play along, this List will help.
As I progress through each console’s library, the List will be updated accordingly.

Hey Dylan, looks like you’re getting close to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I happened to grow up with that one, and find most reviewers can’t stomach it long enough to arrive to Level 10 (however there is a warp on Level 1 to get you there much quicker). If you make it to 10, you will find what is widely considered to be one of the most difficult levels of all NES games. Hope you enjoy your second (at least) round with this one! Been reading you since your Questicle days, keep it up! :)
I am thinking about getting and playing Nintendo World Championships, but that is not what you are doing here, right?
