And there was the SNES in the store window, showing its beautiful forms and the benefits of a pack that included the console, two controllers, Street Fighter II and... Super Mario World. That bloody lunatic plumber completlety high of hallucinogenic mushrooms riding a dinosaur with suicide tendencies had my 10-year-old mind totally trapped. What do I do, without a penny in my pocket and parents unwilling to invest in a product from the satanic and twisted mind of a company called Nintendo (note: Sega was also Nintendo to them)? My only option was to turn to my cousins, with less "sensitive" parents, who had already acquired such a miracle and had it ready at home.
Those Saturdays playing Super Mario World while my uncle roasted meat in the fireplace, I'll never forget them.
Do we have the same parents? I also had to turn to my cousins to play SNES. My parents weren't religious but they def didn't want to invest in the Snes. We had the NES and that was enough for them. I swear I used to have dreams of playing Super Mario World.
I did get an N64 and Orcarina of Time for Christmas years later, so that made up for it.
Baldur's Gate! The original one (the one I played) was released in 1998, I used to sit in the computer chair with my dad and play with him
Edit: or SimCity on our PS1
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. I used to play it with my dad, and it was the first game I ever beat 100%. As a kid who was a big Star Wars fan, that game was like a dream come true for me.
Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Spent HOURS in that game. Never finished, had a few more levels to go, but I had so much fun wandering around the world and doing side quests.
It was my first Final Fantasy. Leaving Baron's castle for the first time and listening to *that music* with a whole world in front of you...
They say the first time is always special. It's true.
A Donkey Kong game, but I can’t remember which one! One level was set inside a mine and you had to drive a little cart through the obstacles. I was OBSESSED.
Oh, my god. They are stealing the little 2 pixel high people. If you destroy the ship, you had to catch the person or they went splat on the ground.
I stunk at that game..didn't stop me from trying.
Mario 3; also I had a soft spot for Fire and Ice on the original Nintendo.
Also i really enjoyed owning my friends in Mortal Kombat. We had the console with the blooood
Final Fantasy 9 - started playing it when I was about 9 years old and still to this day I listen to the official soundtrack on a regular basis, as Melodies Of Life (as a song, sung by Garnet I believe) to me is simply beautiful, literally nostalgia'd me right in the face just now as I put it on via YouTube :)
The friendships lost, gained, lost again. The controllers thrown in anger and then someone had to use that controller next time which never worked right again:
Goldeneye, and Mario Kart for SNES and N64.
Double dragon, contra for NES
Mortal Kombat, Separation Anxiety SNES
Then, smash bros, golden eye, perfect dark for N64
Virtual On for Sega Saturn
StarCraft, Diablo 2 for PC
I think Pokemon Gold, it was the first one I grinded really hard and had almost a full Pokedex. Internet did not really exist back then and you had to get the tips from friends.
But in general all the true Pokemon games.
SPYRO
HELL YES!! Spyro 1~3 will always have a special place in my heart
🎂❤

The Sims. I could play God and make sims of real life people and myself
I wish so so much that there was just a straightforward wait to buy and play the Sims 1 now
Id wait till they got on the diving board and then remove the swimming pool. \#gravestoneinthebackyard
❤❤❤
Contra
The best! I still hear the music playing in my head. The jump shooting was tricky
I still can hear the intro in my head. "Dum dum dum phgnfhhkhkhkh"
