[CookieMueller]

All 3 Mario Bros games

When I was a kid I liked Goonies II (which began rumours that there was a Goonies II movie that mysteriously no kid at our school had ever seen or heard of otherwise...we were pretty stupid in retrospect), Gremlins 2, Friday the 13th, A Boy and his Blob. I haven't played these in years so I can't say if they hold up (I doubt it) but I played all of those a lot.

Nothing got more play than Street Fighter 2010 though. I played that game so much (because it was annoyingly hard to beat).

 

[Smues]

Adventure Island II
Astyanax
Bart versus the Space Mutants
Battle Toads
California Games
Captain Skyhawk (everyone owned it because it was always available for cheap, wasn't a bad game at all)
Crystalis (Super under rated RPG)
Ducktales
Fester's Quest (guilty pleasure)
GI Joe (glitchy pleasure)
Mega Man 3
Metroid
Punchout
Super Mario 1-3
TMNT 1-3
Willow (another under rated RPG)
Zelda 1 and 2, but more so 2.

 

[Brocklock]

River City Ransom

Toobin'

Super Dodge Ball

 

[CanadianGuitarist]

Super Mario 3
Blades.................of Steel
Galaxy 5000
Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Toobin'
Kid Niki
NES Open
Tecmo Bowl

Let the debate begin - I remember playing RBI Baseball AND Bad News Baseball quite a bit growing up. Pick one, and only one, TSM.

River City Ransom
Toobin'

My brother and I were the only kids I knew who had (or had even heard of) Toobin'. It's the one about which my mom waxes most nostalgic....maybe Kid Niki, but I never owned that; I'd always borrowed it from Graham Penny, who is to this day, my first thought during Seinfeld's "pathetic friend" routine.

My buddy Kevin still says, probably once a month, how much he loved River City Ransom. I don't think I ever owned that one either.

My brother loved Toobin' growing up and got me hooked via roms. It's freakin fun.

I love Smash TV as well. That game deserves a remake.

I don't think I played SmashTV. I certainly did play Super Smash. My brother sent me a text in 2010 about it. "Hey, remember Smash TV? 'Year's Supply of Meat' ?"

[Smues]

I was also a fan of Roger Rabbit. That game was fucking hard though, and I suspect it's a case of the music influencing my liking a game a lot and it's really crap. Beating Judge Doom was like the biggest accomplishment of my childhood.

Castlevania
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Legend of Zelda

Get the fuck outta here with all the Toobin'. I'd have sworn I was the only one.

Anyone else play Galaxy 5000? Those two were the games I had which no one else seemed to know about.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Not familiar with that one.

 

[Dobbs3K]

Another one I owned and enjoyed was called Bignose the Caveman. It was one of those games randomly sold on Home Shopping Network in the early 90's.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Again, not familiar with that one. I did have Caveman Games though.
