Original old school Atari with Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Frogger, and football where the players looked like big blocks.

We had an Atari, the Nintendo, the the Sega Genesis, and theni binds lost interest in video games.

Super Tecmo Bowl and Mario 3 blew my mind on the NES. NHL 94 on the Genesis is probably my all time favorite game. I won the Stanley Cup with every team except one, and I can't remember which team. Want to say Winnepeg Jets. Did it with offsides, icing, and line changes on.

I kind of did too for a while then it came back full force. I think that's part of my problem. Everything's changed

My grandma used to give me 15$ in quarters as she went around the mall for hours on end. If I ran out id walk around till I found her then go right back to pacman, galaga, frogger or donkey kong. On days I had 30+$ I'd get to play cruising USA all day


Systems I had were Super Nintendo, virtual boy, sega genesis, n64, dreamcast, game gear, ps1, ps2, 3-4 gameboys, Xbox, Xbox360 and I believe that's it.

Back then, you get your friend's older brother's neighbor's cousin who's just visiting and knows every secret ever to do it.

Nowadays, watch a youtube video. I tried to type it out but it's a lot of steps and you're better off that way. Then once you set it up, get the backwards jump just right which is tricky as frick.

I did have a PS2, but I wasn't all that into it. Had a couple of the NCAA football games, and Tiger Woods golf. Never finished a season on football.

Actually I think I still have the PS2 somewhere.

For a long time, I only had one game.

I think the reason I'm halfway blind now is because of the Nintendo virtual boy and Mario tennis. Was the most badass kid in the neighborhood when I got this.

I had one friend with the Virtual Boy. It was fun, but gave you a headache.

ETA: that picture is not accurate either, had to lay on the floor and use the stand

Super Smash Brothers
Mario Party
Mario Kart
NFL Blitz
Rampage
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (seriosuly one of the GOAT games on any system. Doesn't get talked about enough)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Star Wars: Pod Racers
Battle Tanx (was the shite for multiplayer in my neighborhood)
Goldeneye
Pokemon Stadium
Pokemon Snap ( )
Megaman 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
Harvest Moon ( )
Kirby 64
Ken Griffey Jr. Slugfest

All of these were favorites of mine I spent countless hours on
Oddly enough I never played Ocarina of Time until about a year ago but it's now one of my favorite games ever

My first system was the Atari 2600 and I was the king of Pitfall.

The first game that blew me away was Wolfenstein 3D.

I did not sleep for days when I turned that on the first time.
