OT Help Needed: Huge Dilemma. Which NES Game Do I Play First?

I'll try to do something I'm terrible at: Make a long story short.
I busted out my NES and am about to get back into it once this debacle ends. I recently bought a cartridge on Ebay that has 405 NES games on it. You can only save one game at a time while you play.
I got this thing yesterday and I was excited. Thought I had a plan, but ended up just going through all the games for hours and never really did anything but get sensory overload that ultimately caused a migraine. Yeah, Doc is a fricked up dude, but you all knew this.
Those of you who remember NES, we didn't have the interwebs or social media to help us buy games. If you bought a shitty game for $50 in 1986, you were stuck, and it sucked. I owned many games, but they were always "safe" buys. I never ended up playing games like Castlevania, Kid Icarus, etc. All of these are on this cartridge. My initial go-to right now is Castlevania. Always heard how awesome that was back in middle school. Plus the Angry Nintendo Nerd gives it a great reviews even 30 years later.
So, here are my questions for the group:
A) Name your favorite "traditional" NES game, meaning one that everyone likely owned.
Name an obscure game that you liked, and also let me know if that game required a code or a memory save. I want to see if it is on the list and mark it down for later.
I will use this to help guide where I go.
Please and Thank You!
TL;DR: Doc bought an NES cartridge with over 400 games and he wants your help.

Noted. Currently #2 behind Castlevania on my list. Never played that one either. May move to #1 with this thread.
Require memory save or code entry?

TMNT Arcade Game (even the weirdo 1st was fun)
and the obscur one...Maniac Mansion
Obscure (?): Bionic Commando
Zelda is a memory save. Bionic Commando has no save feature that I remember.
I've been wearing out STB3 on the SNES. How that game wasn't more popular is beyond me.

Zelda 1 and 2 are on there. I have Zelda 1 on a separate cartridge. I'll play Zelda 2.
Right now my new order is Metroid, Castlevania and Zelda 2...

I beat him a couple days ago. Second try. Solid muscle memory.
The one I still struggle with is the damn Russian, Sodapopinsky

Am I the only one who played that shit ?
It's gonna be a good day.
@lovingcurves I'll check later to see if that's on there too

I’ll add that the only sports video game I put ahead of this, on my personal top list, is MVP Baseball 2005 on ps2...now THAT was what a baseball game should be like...it is not only the best sports video game of all-time, but simply the best video game of all-time - at least in my opinion 😁
I can only imagine how much belligerent fun those tournaments were! Myself, I’ve only lost once - to my older sister of all people - when we were kids and I used the Colts and she used the Raiders...I literally just could not stop MF Bo Jackson that game 😂... but I never let her beat me again and she stopped playing me not long after that, lol.
Good, much simpler times those were!
Amen. Those were the days. Low-res graphics on a tube TV. Doesn't get much better.
