Mega Man 5
Galaga
SMS Sonic 1 is barely in the spirit of the contest. Even if it were a great game, I'd feel weird voting for it here.
Mega Man 5 came out a year and a half later so if SMS Sonic 1 is questionable, Mega Man 5 is practically cheating by existing!
8-bit Sonic 1 isnt that great though. It couldnt really replicate the multiple interweaving pathways of the real Sonic 1 and the level design it goes with instead isnt that interesting. If this was the real Sonic 1 Id have to think about it. But, while Mega Man 5 is one of the lesser NES Mega Man games imo, a good, competent NES Mega Man is enough to beat a below-standards Sonic game.
Darkwing Duck is...also almost a Mega Man game and Id take almost any of those over almost any Atari-eta high-score game.
So:
Mega Man 5
Darkwing Duck
