54 - NARC released in 1988. Hyper violent and full of drugs with photo-based characters. What isn't to love about it? Also, the glitch where you can (with enough time) get a pile of extra lives. Surprised it exists really

55 - Ninja Gaiden released in 1988. One of the greatest games on the NES with two amazing sequels. Like Mega Man a very demanding game for controls and precision. Some of the first cut scenes I remember.

56 - Ninja Gaiden released in 1988. Often NES games were ports of arcade games. In this case it wasn't. This arcade game is a beat 'em up instead of platformer like NES. Also had it on Lynx. Similar in name only.

57 - Power Drift released in 1988. This is one of my favorite arcade racers. It is goofier and more fun than a lot of the other ones at the time. I should have gotten this on Dreamcast but never did.

58 - R.C. Pro-Am released in 1988. I loved this game on the NES. I would later race RC cars a lot, like every weekend. None of the sequels quite got the feeling right after the first.

59 - RoboCop released in 1988. I played this a bunch in the arcade. I played it long before I saw the movie. This was one of those weird R rated movies that got kids stuff like toys and TV shows.

60 - Super Mario Bros. 2 released in 1988. For many years I didn't know this wasn't really the sequel everyone thought it was. Still a great game. It added characters to the lore that have lived on.
