lots of options here. In Honor of the Iowa Caucuses, I'll let you vote twice.  :wink:

Got to say Super Mario World. I spent more hours on that game then most Snes titles,and more then on any other pack in game in general. If you would have listed all the pack in games with the Duo,Ys,Ninja Spirit,and the Gate of Thunder disc,I might have voted for that,but thats a close might.

Yeah, SMW was an awesome pack in and I voted for that.  I also voted for Hang-On/Safari Hunt due to nostalgia alone (it came with the first video game console I ever bought).

Super Mario Bros. (NES) simply because its pretty much the greatest game of all time, making it by default better than any pack-in.

The US Duo pack-ins were the best value-wise in console history though I think.

I voted Duo (assuming it's the five game pack-in, like Michael pointed out) because you just can't beat the amount and quality of games in that pack-in. I haven't voted my second yet because I'm undecided between Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet (NES), Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis), Wii Sports (Wii), or Super Mario World (SNES).

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Impossible to choose only two, because Sonic, SMW, and the Duo 3-in-1 were all equally great in my eyes.

Hey you missed the greatest pack in of ALL time, without a doubt- Super Mario All Stars.  That is the single great cartridge ever created, seriously.

Also, did Nintendo pack Mario 3 in any system?  I can't recall ever seeing a NES with Mario 3 packed in.

I don't remember the SNES ever being packed in with all-stars. I do remember SMB3 being packed with NESes, though; A neighbor kid who got a NES rather late had it and nothing else.

I voted Mario 4, er, Super Mario World. The quality of that game surpasses any other.

Yeah Mario All Stars came packed with later SNES systems, I still have a box that has the sticker for "Mario All Stars + World" as a pack in.  Good times.

I've added it. Do you think I should reset the vote count?

I'm kinda scared I am the only one who voted for Altered Beast.  I don't even own a Genesis.  I stand by it as the best pack-in game since you didn't list Sewer Shark.  Altered Beast on the Genesis pretty much sets the standard that all Altered Beast translations should be held up to.  Sadly I don't know of a console version of this game better than the Genesis version.

  When we got our Atari 2600 back in the day it came with not only Combat, but Pac-Man too.  Me and my brother played tank pong for freaking hours, and for this fact I voted for Combat.   :P

I voted the duo pack-ins, obviously  :) How can it not be the best, it came with pure hits!!! I also voted tetris for gameboy. That was a great combo! When I think of a the original gameboy, I think of tetris.  8)
