Wonder Boy 3 and Duck Tales are good, but they are overrated. Wonder Boy 3 has a flat and repetitive level design for an exploration-based game (also the grinding can be tedious at times). On the other hand, Duck Tales is very short, especially once you beat it the first time and know the shortcuts to get to the boss.
