1988-1992 - 5to9 Years old - The Beginning! 1) Just like many of you, Super Mario Bros. started the journey. Remember playing in the basement with my brother and cousins. Uncle passed by and as a young kid, told him ''come on, come play with us, just try it, it's so fun!!'' Just like my dad, my uncle didn't play video game, but this time he grabbed the controller and gave it a try. He came to the first hole when I told him ''jump down, you'll get 1up..!'' What he did and, of course, died. Remember him saying ''ok I'm done'' but in fact it meant ''F*&#? you little monster''!! Fun fact : my 6 yo daugher passed the first stage by herself, for the first time, this week! 2)3) My dad always told me and my brother that he would never buy other video games because he said it was a waste of time and money. Even that, on Christmas, in the basement at my uncle's house where there was cloud of cigarette's smoke. There was a huge heavy box that we had no idea what was in. We were amazed to found out that there was a dumbbell for the weight but also two great games : Legend of Zelda and Mike Tyson Punch-Out!! 4) Can't tell how we got this one, but I played a lot : Super Mario Bros. 3. We had Mario 2 also. But was really deep into Mario 1 and 3! I remember telling my parents : ''that's not the ''left Bros'' version, it's not good..) Yeah at 6 I knew about it already... lol 1992-1996 - 9to13 Years old - SNES, my best gaming memories! 5) I can't remember how I get my SNES console, I'll have to ask my brother if he remember! ** (update might come!). But I remember playing, playing and playing again! It started with the game that came with the system : Super Mario World. 6) Then, there was the ''sequel''. Since I didn't play Zelda II on the original Nes. So for me, A Link to the Past was my sequel. It was a shock, I remember coming out of the bed at night to play the game since my brother didn't leave me the controller on the day shift!!!!! I remember saying thing like : ''man, graphics are so crazy, you can see Zelda (yes at the time, I called Link : Zelda...) really stepping when he gets in the stairs!!). 7)8)9) Squaresoft trilogy! Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III (or 3, but not 6, nowhere on the game box, manual or cart it says ''6''!!!) and Chrono Trigger! Hours and hours and hours and days and weeks and months of fun!! Three legendary games!! 10) When I wasn't home playing RPG alone. I was home with friends or at them house playing NHL 94 then NHL 95. It's just crazy how intense we were playing those two! 1996 to 2000 - 13to17 Years old - Playstation and computer era! 11) Traded the SNES bundle for a Playstation. We were young and stupid!! I remember playing Twisted Metal 2, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo and Resident Evil! Anyway, one game really get me involved : Final Fantasy VII !! 12) It was also the move from the ''386'' computer to a Pentium I dunno what, but a way better computer! My brother's friend was a geek who own all the best game. He told us which one to get. Here are the titles I played a lot : Carmageddon, Command & Conquer, Unreal Tournament. The original Grand Theft Auto was a blast from the beginning. Even if today, I don't own the lastest console (the lmore recent console I own is the Wii and it's for the kids!). That franchise is one of the only one that might, someday, makes me buy the newest console. 2000-2020- 17to38 Years old - Gaming with my girlfriend 13) When I meet with her back in 2000. We just literally burned that game. Yes, for real, her Mario Kart 64 just stopped working after couple of years playing it too many times! It was her console. She had Goldeneye 64, Diddy Kong 64 and Mario 64 but I sucked at every other games on the 64. 3-4 years ago, I gave Ocarina of Time a try, but still no talent with that ergonomic controller... Still with my girlfriend and still play Mario Kart 64 near every two weeks! 2008-2015- 17to32 Years old - Gaming with my girlfriend 14) Then we bought a Wii just to be able to play Mario Kart Wii. With the stearing, it was awesome. I don't have that game anymore, but have to rebuy it! 2015-2020- Adult gaming 15) Not much time to play anymore, but I play every week those 2 games : Contra and Super C. Perfect fit : retro fun and fast to end games! I play Contra as a kid too but more as an adult because it was my cousin who owe it. Super C I tried it but was way to hard, area 4 was the best I reached, area 5 maybe 3-4 times!

Interesting thread to add to this discussion :

help!!

To be fair, only Harvest moon 64 is sealed. The Ninja Gaiden Trilogy box was just inclued with the cib game!

Interesting to read, thanks!

One way or the other would be a great run!

Is that mean someone could switch two tops of the same game?!

Did you try to fix it yourself with ducktape? It works for a lot of thing... Joke aside, sad to hear that but as soon as the game itself is safe, I guess you’re still a lucky guy!

Agreed

Interesting, but I feel just doing them no death on a row is challenging!!!!

Do it using just the carbine
