Solid thread, all the memoriesss are so cool to read.
Genesis - NBA jam - played at my sister's friends growing up with her older brother, this and mortal Kombat 1 were the first I had to get when I saved up for the model 1 Genesis I had.
N64: Majora's mask - I had beaten oot at a friends and knew I had to finally get a 64 when Majora's came out. Not too long after it's release, I didn't wanna pay up the 80$ or whatever extra cost it was compared to a regular game at the time and I found an eBay seller in Australia that had bought the game on vacation to Canada not knowing it wouldn't play on their pal console and no one wanted to bid! Ended up getting it for $30? A month wait, and it showed up! Box was a little crushed but everything else was good and I still have it in my collection today!
Gcn: windwaker! Once it starting getting a buzz I started saving up for a console haha I pre-ordered from GameStop and got the bonus disc with oot and master quest, couldn't have been more happy when I played through it, second game was Metroid prime
