Journey to Silius is awesome, probably some of the best music on the NES and a pretty good game too... I've had it for a while but have only gotten a few levels in though, it is challenging (as was often true with Sunsoft games). Supposedly (I'm not sure if it's rumor or fact, but it's a common rumor at least) it was originally supposed to be a Terminator game, but Sunsoft either lost or couldn't get the license, so they changed it to that. Sunsoft did do a lot of (good) licensed games, so it's believable. Oh, the Japanese version, Raf World, has a different story and character, you look like a soldier or something instead of just a kid. The intro cutscene's in English in the Japanese version though, oddly enough...
Sonic Spinball - Good concept, but too hard... I've barely ever managed to even beat the first level. I like the Game Gear version more actually, it's a lot easier.
Alex Kidd (Genesis) - I got this last year I think but I've barely played it. Didn't seem too interesting on my first impression (and maybe a bit annoyingly hard too), so I haven't really gone back yet.
Rocket Knight Adventures - Yeah, that game's fantastic. I keep hoping I'll run into copies of its two sequels, Sparkster for SNES and Genesis (same name, different games), but no luck yet... but yeah Rocket Knight Adventures is quite good. Great graphics, good gameplay, good challenge, just an all-around great game. They made a modern remake of it within the last year or two, for PC/PSN/XBLA. I've only played the demo of the PC version, but it seems decently fun (though short, apparently), I'll likely get it sometime.
