For me, it is the original Castlevania. It was challenging but it was not impossible. Plus the boss fights were also very challenging.
What is your all time favorite NES title?

Well, if you really must know...
Strangely enough, I sometimes use the bads of this game (The System) in certain RPG plots.

Contra, or Probotector as it was known over here in Europe.
Nothing beat blasting those huge bosses in co-op with my little brother

Mario 3 has to be up there somewhere, that game was pretty damn fantastic for it's time. I'd also like to say zelda, but that doesn't really hold up at all nowadays.
In terms of retro Nintendo games (barring the most wellknown ones like Metroid and Mario) probably Balloon Fight, it's simple and the movements is pretty smooth, you're not really limited to the cardinal directions and can even go at a slight cornerways thing.
River City Ransom on the other hand was just...confusing and hard, all i remember was getting past some factory and ending up in some town with a Spa inside, for really old games, reading an FAQ could ruin the journey of it due to learning potentially beneficial bugs instead of uncovering them yourself.
Also, The Moon, which is strange for a soundtrack to hear straight away as one of the potential stages you could start at, instead of some final world music.

I had a love/hate relationship with this game..
I just remember trying to beat it sooooo many times. My brother and I would leave the NES on for days because there wasn't a save function or level codes or anything. Also, when you died, you lost all of your powerups and some of the later levels just couldn't be done without them, so even if you still had a continue you were pretty much fucked. Oh, and some of the levels had different directions you could take, but some of the ways would be dead ends...and if you hit the wall you died and there was no way to go backwards.
Now that I think about it, fuck that game. Zelda was my favorite.

Mario 3 is my favorite, but there are a lot of other choices that I would deem acceptable. Most of the above were solid.
Its either Rockin' Kats, Castlevania, or Megaman 2.
Probably Megaman 2. I play that alot.
(Its the only one where I can beat all the robot masters easily! (On hard mode of course!))
I need to eventually beat it WITHOUT save states. Always fail on the Wily stages. They are hard.
Captcha: Time Lord.
Hmmm... Oddly fitting. Cappy

Hmmm... I had a lot of favorites. So how about a top 5 instead.
1) Tecmo Cup Soccer Game (Played like a RPG. And Robin Field: G.O.A.T.)
2) Super Mario Bros. 3 (Frog and racoon suits, awesome)
3) Baseball Stars (My brother and I wore this game out. Also: American Dreams)
4) The Legend of Zelda (You never forget your first)
5) Bionic Commando (Grapple hook, that is all)
6) Battletoads (Just kidding) *sets on fire*
There are just too many to pick from.
Captcha: yes, sir
I'm not that old Captcha, no need for sirs. But I do like the manners. Stay classy.
