Buried Treasures

Today I was just sorting through all my old video games, and I discovered on how much I enjoyed playing them. I set up my old systems and started to play some of them. Most of my games were for SNES. So lets reflect back and talk about all the games in our lives that we had played when were little. The ones we enjoyed, cried, laughed, screamed and Triumphed over.
Please makes the games under the year 2000, because six years seems old for a game. Also please no Final Fantasy games, it seems we all have them and we talk about them all the time.

I’ll start, so here is my list:

SNES:
Donkey Kong(SNES)
Donky Kong 2: Diddy Kong’s Quest(SNES)
Donkey Kong 3(SNES)
Super Mario Bros (SNES)
F-Zero(SNES)
Bonkers(SNES)
Batman(SNES)
Super Mario Land(SNES)
Killer Instinct(SNES)
Sim City(SNES)

So thats my list. Lets see the list of games you guys have played when you were young, or still now!

Slightly out-of-date list of games that I own. No, I’m not typing it up, and it wouldn’t really fit anyway.

Mario 1 for the GB (being an early lesson of sadism. And Batman)
Super Mario World (for being Awesome)
Mario Bros 3 (for being the only of the 3 Mario Bros games which I could finish when the files were wiped off my friend’s cartridge.
Metroid 2 for the GB (I always muted the sound, when a metroid came by and it still gives me the creeps. Love ya Metroid)
LBA 2 for PC (for being gorgeous)
Kirby’s Dreamland GB
Mario 64 and Goldeneye 64 (for they were quite something, that time)
And let’s quit with Zelda: ALTTP (SNES) and LA (GB). Love them.

Warcraft II had also quite an influence.

I love the classics they are the foundation of gaming today.Games don’t need fancy graphics,7 hour cutscenes and great noise to be good.They need to be fun,original and addictive and most classic games are all those things and that is why I still try to play them today…Most new games are the same the revolve around the same plot.You’re the last surivor of your town/city/planet and you have to save the world/city/universe/etc…Or there is more cutscenes IN the game then the time you are ACTUALLY PLAYING IT!That is all.

Well, I’m not going to list them all, since that would take forever, but let me mention a few that meant the most to me.

First of, Dragon Warrior. I still have the original cartridge that we got through Nintendo power. This is the only RPG I ever played with both brothers, since they quickly lost interest in the genre, while it became my favorite type of game.

Let me tell you about a game called Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine for the Genesis. Back when I was younger, before I got to high school, my parents would not let me play games on schoolnights. For this game, my brothers and I disobeyed this rule. We would play matches fifty in one sitting some nights. I think some of you would know the game as Kirby’s Avalanche or Puyo Puyo. It remains my favorite puzzler, a great combination of reflex and strategy.

If anyone’s looking for a real gem that doesn’t get much attention, try Light Crusader for the Genesis. It’s an RPG/Zelda hybrid that I’ve considered shrining for RPGC, but haven’t quite been up to.

I have fond memories of all the Donkey Kong Country games, but 3 stands out due both to the slightly less linear world map set-up (it was fun discovering stuff all the time) and due to the remix of the castle theme from Mario 64 you hear when talking to Krinkly Kong.

Yes, DKC3, how could I ever forget? [Light Crusader added to the to-do list]

Kirby’s Dreamland, Val :slight_smile: The best game that ever sucked
