QUIZ: HOW MANY NES GAMES DOest thou KNOW?

Before Nintendo got its act together, the company's NES covers adopted a sort of uniform, pixel art, approach. Though it didn't seem to "prang" the success of the NES too badly, the results were, it needs to be said, mixed.

While third-parties were slathering glorious, fully-painted, artwork on their facades, Nintendo's game covers were rather ugly, and sometimes bore little resemblance to the games they purported to portray. Suffice to say, many of its earliest NES games were subsequently re-released with new, less humiliating, artwork.

Here's a gallery of original NES game covers of said pixel art variety - but wait - the titles have been changed! Using your knowledge, reason, and a very long pole with a hook on the end, can you identify the real titles?!

Don't worry: it's just a bit of fun. Chill out, yeah?

I originally read the fake title for 10-yard fight as 'Pro Stealer', and was looking at the picture thinking "I can't believe Mr B didn't make some kind of poo joke there".
I'm sorry that I ever doubted! :)

Well, that was harder than I thought. I only got about 4 right.

The irony that I didn't get ice climbers when they are my most hated toon on smash brothers ain't lost on me.

It upsets me how Flasher's eyes and some details use a sub-pixel format, shattering the illusion of pixel art

Sorry, but it feels weird and wrong for the REVEAL function to be used for actual correct answers on Digi. I'm not angry, just disappointed.
