On Genesis

Mario Tennis

The Mario Series on SNES and NES... Remember how when they came out there was a huge run on them? The stores never could stock enough.

Metroid (the original)

Donkey Kong
Pac Man
Ms. Pac Man

We had Coleco Vision with an Atari adaptor. High tech in 1984!

I've got a bunch of old systems in my closet right now. I'd love to get some of the rarer old systems (NeoGeo, TurboGrafx 16, etc) and add to my collection.

My favorite NES games:
Super Mario 3
Mickey Mouscapades (damn hard to beat for a disney game)
Paperboy

SNES:
Super Mario World
Yoshi's Island
Zelda (whatever it was called)
Super Mario Kart

N64:
Bust-a-Move '99. I had/have a serious addiction to that game.
Mario Kart 64

Right now I'm borrowing Boy's GameCube (platinum edition...sexy) and am in the throes of an Animal Crossing addiction. One of the best parts of that game is that you can play old NES games from within it.

Combat for the Atari 2600
Breakout for the Atari 2600
Mario Bros. for the Atari 2600

Ok...so i like the Atari 2600...and I have a working one setup to play...

Though for semi newer stuff...the sega mastersystem is pretty neato...so the original Phantasy Star for that system...

Or new then that I was brought up a lot on Sonic...Not as much of a nintendo girl...

KIRBY'S DREAMLAND!!!! - that was my favorite. It also had different extensions like Adventure and Pinball.

My brother and the kids we used to babysit would have long Mario 3 tournaments. (We cheated, we used Game Genie.)

Excite bike - I used to make the most impossible courses. I think we just like making the guy fall down hills.

Tetris - as always

Mario Kart for n64
Mario Land or whatever for SNES

And arcade games... The SImpsons... my friends and I got to the Mr Burns level but didn't know what to do and we ran outta quarters

Streets of rage series
NHL series
Sonic series
and of course world series baseball 95.

The Cabbage Patch game for my ColecoVision!!!

Then we got Nintendo and I loved Duck Hunt and the Track game. We had the pad you ran on to make your guy move. Got a workout and had fun!!!

Jaggergirl · #13 03-03-2003, 11:10 AM

I had a Nintendo 8 bit as a kid.

And I loved me some Link and Tetris. I could play those for hours. We had other games but those were pretty much the only ones that could hold my attention.

Now I'm playing again with my friends X Box. I love to play Halo but I get killed every time.

CrimsonTide4 · #14 03-03-2003, 11:14 AM

TETRIS ADDICT right here
Ms. PacMan -- had a mini arcade game for my 8th birthday til my brother destroyed it.

DUCK HUNT
Donkey Kong
Frogger
Space Invaders

I still have my Atari and a million games. I always liked Adventure and Pitfall.

My new favorite, however, is a computer game -- The Oregon Trail. I found an old disk while cleaning yesterday and we actually had hours of fun...geeky, I know.
