Me and my brother always played RBI Baseball when I was younger, and Ice Hockey.

I still have a ton of games from way back then that I have fond memories of; Gunsmoke, Mega Man, Marble Madness, Sk8 or Die, Yoshi (Which is essentially Tetris-like, where you can do multiplayer and screw the opponent by succeeding faster). There are a lot more, I just don't remember the names of them.

As far as the tricks to get games to work when they aren't working, I think everyone did the same two things - at least 1 of them. Everyone blew the cartridge. That was just a given. Standard practice if you owned an NES. But if that didn't work, I'd put the game in a fraction too shallow, so when I'd push it down into the system, it would crunch on the cartridge slot (on the system) itself - and somehow that would make the game work.
