I wish I played more retro games.  I didn't play games much until the PS2.  I did a little PS1, but I wouldn't call that retro yet.

I did play Pacman and Pong.

My dad used to say for years that we had a SNES in the basement that he'd dig up someday. I don't think that was true. xD But my best friend growing up did actually have a NES, and I played both Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 2 on there a lot.

I played NES and SNES a little bit. :)

What was that duck hunting game with the snickering dog?  I used to play that.

Duck Hunt :) They found their way into the new Smash Bros. too, which was fun. :)

I used to have a large stack of NES games; sadly we sold them years ago, eventually my system. I had Super Mario 2 and 3, Legend of Link (the second game in the series, with the RPG elements), Contra, Maniac Mansion, all sorts of fun classics. I'd have to sit down and write them al.

I guess you can say, yall grew up SNESing AH HAH. HAH. HA- fuck.

I didn't really grow up with anything retro. The closest was going to my Grandma's neighbor's house playing Mario 64.

Hey no worries.  I played some old games, but I never played any game for more then ten minutes until the N64 and PS1 arrived.

I've played a few oldies thanks to the Wii's virtual console, but never with an actual snes or nes or genesis etc.

I never really knew about the N64 growing up (it came out just before I was born and was swiftly replaced by the Gamecube when I was old enough to start playing video games), but I've always wanted to try some of the games available for the console.

Thanks.  Duck Hunt.  Lol!

I remember a lot of those games you mentioned.  I didn't know the names at the time really, never paid much attention.  I played one as some guy as you went into a mansion and fought monsters.  There was also one I really loved, and you raced a dirt bike and got to make your own dirt bike tracks.  It had a side scrolling view.

I could be wrong, but do you mean Excitebike?

Excitebike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitebike) was a favorite of mine!

Gaah, I love Excitebike. :3

Hm, was it Dr. Chaos?

Another one with a mansion and monsters could've also been 'Sweet Home' too, but I think that was an import only. D:

I dont know what the game was. I remember it so vaguely. I was bad at it and young. It was in like a mansion castle thing and monsters tried to stop you.

I'm a huge fan of older RPGs like Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, Phantasy Star, etc.  Only ones I missed out on I feel like is Lufia and DQ.

What about Super Mario RPG (SNES)? Anyone remember that? I never got too far into it, but I remember enjoying it a lot... then again a lot of the Mario RPGs are enjoyable.

My little brother got that game, Super Mario RPG. We actually still have it and the game works!

My little brother is a kind of video game collector XD He even has an atari system with old games.

Also, anything with ET just stay away from...gameboy, atari, just...ET is bad luck XD

I had SMRPG, loved it to death too.  I think I accomplished everything except the 100 jump challenge thing.  Got the cart somewhere, heard its worth a pretty penny these days.

A friend and I were just talking about that game too, Super Mario RPG. ;D He said the tunes were groovy! Seeing as it was Mario and worked on by Square Enix, I can't blame him for thinking so =D

That would be my guess too.

I used to play NES at my cousins house, then the SNES when he got that.  My best friend growing up had the Nintendo 64, then I got my very first system, the Playstation 1.  I used to play Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Need for Speed, and Medal of Honor games.

Castlevania!  That was the game!  Wow, what throw back!  It looks so easy compared to what I thought then!

Ever gone back and played the original Silent Hill on it?

I actually played it not TOO long ago, but it's still pretty damn difficult lmao. It's mainly the knockback.

Oh gosh, Castlevania was so hard for me!  I never got that far, but I was also pretty young.

MK - I have not gone back and played it.  I don't own any of those games or systems.  I would like to try it again someday.

Hehehe, part of me thought it was Castlevnia too but I wasn't so sure as you said mansion. :D Glad you get to see it again! It's a fun game =D

I dunno why, but I kinda like it. XD It's funny for how weird it came out. Bobby Hill-Mega Man, haha.

Princess Lana came out alright though. They had a Puss'n'Boots-centered episode which is funny as the game it's referencing is based on the Toei mascot. It looks anything but. On the flipside, he was voiced by Goku so that's pretty cool at least.

And then there's the 80's Zelda cartoon too. xD
