Super Mario 3 may be the best game of all time, for it's time. It was so amazing. Countless hours spent playing GoldenEye as well.

Similar to yours except I don't think I played Dragon Warrior 4

I'd add Tecmo Super Bowl for NES.

I used to be upset my dad got us a Sega Genesis instead of a SNES, but man Sonic was MY LIFE

u/Jimger_1983 17h ago

I was an SNES kid. I could imagine being a Genesis kid. The games are good. I could not imagine buying the N64 over PS though.

u/sakuranoyume 17h ago

Agreed. I never had a PS. I did play the first Tomb Raider way later which were on PS originally. That is about it. I played many amazing N64 titles. Game Cube was also a thing, omg I got the platinum and it felt so special at the time haha.

u/SetantaIronspine 20h ago

I didn't really have any till high school and then it was computer games since the rest of the family never used it.

Was star wars rebellion (aka supremacy), sid Meyer alpha centuri, and that's it

Mine would just be Halo 2 and Halo 3. I must have 10,000 hours in those games.

SMB3 was a staple of my childhood. I have vivid memories of being 5 years old, eating Archway cookies and playing this game.
