The Guardian Legend(1988) should top that list. Back in the day it pushed the limits of the NES I'm waiting for another game that over kills the use of sprites like that game did.
Also wasn't there a Blaster Master sequel on SNES I remember the plot vaugely, Jason's car was struck be lightning and explodes and you must rebuild it and hunt monsters that have escaped.

Awesomeness is an ability many find difficult to grasp, if you find what I say difficult to grasp(comprehend) you have not yet reached my level of awesomeness
