I have a lot of NES memories.

the first time I beat Super Mario. Had to use the 100 extra men exploit on 3-1 and had 1 or 2 lives when I finally worked through the puzzle that was 8-4. I remember spending hours upon hours trying to get past level -1 because a friend swore you could get to level -2
The summer I spent on Zelda 2: Link to the past
Mike Tyson's Punchout
I loved Ninja turtles, and I don't remember it being that impossible as people are claiming it is now but maybe I was just so happy to be playing it that i didn't notice.

Ultima Exodus, Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy.

I remember wanting to play FF with some strange class combination (I think it was 4 monks), but my brother had a saved game he didn't want to get rid of, so I had to play straight through without saving. Those monks were crazy good, since you didn't need to spend money on weapons after a few levels. I remember even killing off 3 of the monks in the party so my highest level guy could solo the last boss, Tiamat I think?
