What SmileBASIC games would you like to see on NES?

I'm currently learning how to use NESmaker to make my own games, as a little challenge for myself. What games would you like to be remade for the NES? (I can imagine Super Bearland could easily be remade for the NES, albeit with some stuff removed.)

nRogue could be cool but might need some changes to fit the screen better.

Hmm, I don't think I'm familiar with nRogue... I'm gonna check it out really quick.

I have an Atari 400 sitting in the basement that barely gets any use (I play Joust and Alley Cat on it sometimes...) and I like the original nRogue so that might be a good idea. 6502 is hard enough though especially when you aren't sure what zero page addresses you can use without breaking the DOS etc.

Okay, I gave nRogue a chance... The game is alright, but nothing to write home about. But I can definitely see this being an NES game of some kind. Granted, I still need to learn how to use NESmaker to the fullest potential, and figure out a few tricks for maximizing the graphics, but I can assure you that eventually, I'll be making games for the NES. And possibly even porting them to SmileBASIC in the future. I'm not sure yet. Perhaps the SmileBASIC versions will be a demo version, and I'll have the full game on cartridge with a key to download the SmileBASIC version.
