But Turtles in Time is one of the very best SNES games. I don't see the problem
Low: I've been playing WoW for over 7 years now and it's mostly all I play. I've missed out on a lot of great games. I don't have any current gen consoles and I feel sad that I've missed out on the Wii. I'd love to play games like the New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Galaxy 1/2, Donkey Kong Country Returns among many others.
High: The SNES/PSX/N64 days.
My high would be playing really good games, period. Games like Half Life 2, and Mass Effect. and God of War 2. These have been some of the greatest moments of entertainment for me. When gaming get's it right, there is nothing that can touch it as far as experience.
My lows would be that gaming can become a huge time sink, and with prices so low on places like Steam, you can create a huge backlog of games. Then it starts to become a distraction/ chore to try and finish all the games you have purchased.
I'd like to hear the story behind this!
TiT is fun once or twice through. The four games on All Stars not only can be replayed forever, but they're also much more fun.
Ok Ledsen, I'll tell you.

High: The SNES/PSX/N64 days.
Highs:
-Trying Mario 64 for the first time at a demo kiosk.
-Coming home with my launch night Gamecube and having Rogue Squadron 2 blow my mind.
-The sensation of hitting the ball for the first time in Wii Sports tennis. This was at about 1am, after waiting in line 26 hours to get a system at launch.
-Beating Star Wars Trilogy Arcade on one credit.
-Unlocking the AX Cup in F-Zero GX 7 years after I originally bought the game.
-Playing through the entirety of TMNT in my local arcade with 4 other random kids while a group of parents looked on. None of us knew each other, but when we had beaten the game we all turned to each other, high-fived and yelled "cowabunga!" like the end of the first movie. For real.
-Renting Super Mario RPG from a local shop where game rentals were only good for 1 day. I pulled a marathon session to complete it before I had to take it back.
-Bought an NES with some random games from a flea market a few years ago. One game was Jackal, which I had never played. Beating the game with a friend made me feel like a kid again.
-The entirety of my first Killer 7 playthrough.
-Playing After Burner Climax in a full motion arcade cabinet.
-Being knocked into the pit by the computer for the first time in the original Mortal Kombat arcade game.
-Using voice chat for the first time in Alien Front Online on Dreamcast.
-Playing 4-player Goldeneye and WCW vs nWo Revenge before WCW wrestling pay-per-views at a friend's house.
Lows:
-My 300+ hour PSO save file being corrupted
-My DS, PSP, 360 and PS3 were stolen when my apartment was broken into in October 2010. Insurance replaced the hardware but not my save files.
-Realizing I will never have enough time to get good at any 2D fighting game.
-Moving away from all of my gaming friends to take a job offer in another state.
-Having to sell most of my Gamecube and Xbox games years ago because of money problems.
-Selling an old crappy Final Fight cabinet I had because I couldn't afford to fix it up.
-Getting so angry at PSO Episode 3 that I stopped playing altogether during the height of the game's popularity. Now I would give anything to be able to play it online again.
-Sega dropping out of the hardware business.
-The Sega/Sammy merger and the internal changes that resulted.
-Buying a modded Xbox just to play Metal Wolf Chaos, only to have the console break a short time later.
