The following is a list of games which either take advantage of the sprite overflow bug of OAM, or intentionally place sprites so later sprites are discarded.
Commercial
- Bee 52: to get past a solid purple screen (more details needed).
- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (a.k.a. Dracula 2): when Simon enters a swamp, the lower half of his body should be "hidden".
- Felix the Cat: when entering or exiting a bag.
- Gimmick!: when entering a level.
- Majou Densetsu II: Daimashikyou Galious: when entering a doorway, Popolon's body should gradually disappear (to imitate walking down stairs); Youtube video demonstrating the effect.
- Ninja Gaiden: some cutscenes (more details needed).
- The Legend of Zelda (a.k.a. Zelda 1, Zeruda no Densetsu): when entering vertical (top-bottom-facing) doorways.
- Gremlins 2 - The New Batch uses multiple blank sprites to mask rows during cutscenes.
- Solstice: During the intro cutscene, it puts too many sprites on the screen, but the NES won't display the excess sprites.
Homebrew
- blargg's sprite overflow test ROMs

- BBS topic (with screenshots of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest)
