I was browsing through Youtube, and somehow got sidetracked into some SNES videos. A lot of memories started to flood back as I watched some compilation vids of various games. Some I hadn't thought about in years.
So I thought it'd be fun to relive some of those memories. From your first encounter with the system and it's games, what games you played, what were your favorites, etc.
I personally had a somewhat odd relationship with the SNES, and didn't come to appreciate it until years later. In those days my interest in gaming had dwindled away to nothing, so I never went out and bought one. But my friend had a SNES and we would play Madden '93 all day long. In between we played a little Super Off Road, U.N. Squadron, and eventually some of the NHL games. When my friend grew bored of the system, as he never really was much of a gamer to begin with, I just sort of inherited his console.
I was never into rpg's, I never played any Mario games that much, I was unfamiliar with Castlevania and Metroid, and it wasn't until the system was dead and gone that I ever tried them out. But through my travels, I've since come across some really outstanding games like Chrono Trigger, the Final Fantasies, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, etc.
Though it's been years since I've fired up either of my old SNES systems. (The original plus the slimmed down version.) I'm certain they would still work. I really ought to hook one up and REALLY relive some memories.
