Super Mario
Super Mario Bros. 3

Kabuki: Quantum Fighter
Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja

I know you've said etc, but Legend of Zelda deserves a spot there!

Deserves a spot (so as Final Fantasy) but at the time I didn't have it.

the first metroid also.

Still haven't beaten it. too damn hard :(

Also didn't have it.

First console PS1 or N64.

wat?

Easy if you're under 25 IMO.

We're not all old farts here!

Amiga was my shit.

Amiga box mouse was the first mouse I ever used, those things were impossible to break.

I once killed a man with one and drew a picture in DPaint just minutes later.

Looks like this mouse has a USB port ;)

How about now? http://i.imgur.com/4YgkNEs.jpg ;D

Hehe :D

Mac guy looks like if he has no clue at all. About anything. : D

Amiga was awesome! Deluxe paint, shadow of the beast 1/2, countless fun little apps. I even used lightwave 3d a bit.

I'm very fortunate that I grew up with Amiga, and also NES was my first gaming console.

It's kind of funny because I wasn't really aware of gaming consoles at all, so when I got a NES for xmas I was kind of confused and didn't know what to expect. Needless to say, I was very, very impressed.

shadow of the beast best soundtrack ever (played it with a speccy 128k i suppose the music from amiga version shoul be even better, awesome game.

Never owned one but was my dream for years :)

Isn't that the game where if you typed 10 pints you got some kind of cheat?

Shadow of the beast 2, get to the first guy in the forest to the right and type that quick. Pretty much the only way to beat the game... by cheating!

That's why I was impressed to see this guy beat it without the cheat:

I assume he played it like 999 times with the cheat until he knew exactly what to do : - )

Even with the cheat it was pretty hard! Like if you mess up the section when you are imprisoned and have to start again.

Oh absolutely. I got stuck countless times in that game. I never beat it even. It was just such a trip to play though. Truly otherworldly.

Yup :-)

I have two mp3s of songs from the game.

Skool Daze on ZX Spectrum bestest game ever!!!1!

Well a lot of the ESR community won't "qualify" for this link simply due to age, a factor beyond anyone's control.

That said, I'm lucky enough(lol) to have owned a Commodore 64 and played Temple of Apshai on the cassette drive, played Tank Wars on the 2600(the Sears version, not the Atari one) and later got the Colecovision system with that amazing grip joystick -- brightly colored finger buttons topped off with an oversized red controller ball.

p.s. My "AHHHH!" moments in order: Seeing the graphical upgrades of Mario from NES>SuperNES and finally in mind-boggling 3D on that beautiful N64 system(Turok N64 forever).

Still got a complete set of C-64.

And a Quadra 800 Macintosh (and a 486DX40 desktop, a Tualatin Voodoo Box, and... :>).

Got a Centris 650 with the 300 CD drive after college(with college discount)...first game was Myst. They sent me a patch floppy disk(2.4mb) for a bug in the game. I LOVED Myst.

p.s. That Quadra 800 was beastly expensive but magnitudes above anything else in terms of cpu power. Back when the Motorola 6800 series was king.

Hehe. MacOS 8.1, Warcraft 2 runs smoothly. :>

I had an Apple Adjustable Keyboard as well, just sold it. I regret it a bit.

WOW!! Yea I remember that cardboard box with the distinctive Apple Adjustable Keyboard graphics! The detachable numerical keypad had an enormous palm rest that came with it. That board was so ahead of its time. I'm not sure if I still have it.

Apple boxing and packaging was a design art onto itself.

Anyone played Amagon?

my uncle bought this for me when i was 8, for nes. i played this game more than i played legend of zelda 2. i didn't beat it then, for some reason (i remember it being really hard). came back a few years ago and beat it using emulator. i think i ruined my childhood by realizing how easy it is now and how pathetically awful i am at video games. a couple other games i spent a lot of time on around that time in my life were guardian legend (awesome music), xenophobia, and the mega man games.

another game that friends had that i loved to play was r.c. pro-am.

Yea. I had similar experience with this game. I remember it being so hard. I don't even know if I managed to complete half of it. I would like to go back to it, but I'm afraid this may bring back all the nerves it involved :).

Violet Berlin isn't looking bad for 46.

Crazy that this show never aired in the US (afaik?). I think a lot of kids would have watched it. I know I would have!

My first console that I owned was a PSX.

but.... AMIGA MASTER RACE!!! console peasants!
Had an Amiga 500+ in 1988 and we had an Oric 1 before that.

Bad influence was far superior to Games Master, the former having a lot more information whilst the latter was based more on the challenges to showcase the games.

these Australians sure don't how to set the tracking

lol, she says one of the reasons CDs are taking over because they're much more difficult to pirate. This would have been Sept 1993.

I still think cartridges are substantially harder to pirate, and I would have thought that even then. Crazy crazy.

Cartridges definitely are, they more or less gave up on pirating N64 games in Kuwait.
Due to the popularity of the PSX and how easy it was to pirate games for it, N64 games were expensive about 100$ back when the N64 was new, in comparison to non-pirated PSX games which were anywhere between 40-60$, because of the price of the games and how easily the PSX swooped the market the N64 couldn't really get any traction back in Kuwait

I think that console games are toys for kids, and only bearded geek programmers with real computers were able to turn this entertainment crap into true art.

Are you implying that Rosie O'Donnell can't drive?
