So same as the other essential threads, basically vote for the games that you would regard as worth purchasing.
I know that there are threads for Mega Drive/Genesis, SNES and others but I wanted one that only had games you can buy on the Virtual Console channel for those who are not sure what to get plus there seems to be various threads started by people who are not sure what to get. Also some VC games aren't as good as they are on the original console due to some sort of emulation cock up.
Votes will only be accepted if:
1. The game is actually on Virtual Console NOW.
2. You mention which console it is on.
