I spent many hours playing Pokemon on it so I suspect it was one of the contributors to the near-sightedness I have now =P Then I got the GBA SP with the screen lighting button and it was so much better. Glad I inspired you. I never played many N64 games but it was a great system too. @ Glo

Of course Sonic is one of my favorite games, and I may in fact play it now (on my game boy advance, which is now completely outdated. It doesn't even have a back-lit screen). As far as I'm concerned, N64 is the best gaming system ever. In fact! I'm going to write a post about it. WOWWWWWWw I can remember playing Aladdin and Power Rangers and they were completely awesome.

My gamer career started at three, playing super mario on my fathers game boy. Of course I always lost in the first level. But in primary school I got my first game boy (a pocket in pink) and later an N64. Since then I'm a huge fan of nintendo games, but the classics are still missing in my collection, since I'm just twenty years old and they were already old in my childhood. But just playing with emulators won't satisfy me, I'll get me some vintage consoles sooner or later! Classics rules. (^.^) Wow that’s so nostalgic.

My mom rented a Sega Genesis and games a lot over the weekends when I was 5 until I got a super nintendo at 8. I remember Aladdin, Sonic, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, TMNT's, The Lion King-they were such amazing games. I agree with you that it is amazing how unique and innovative they were. I could play them for hours and even now I could (and do) the same when I have freetime. This really brings back a lot of great memories for me.

I didn't have Internet back then so I got the cheats from these code books they used to sell at stores where you could buy or rent games. The games were still fun even though I was cheating because I would play like I wasn't and not have the frustration XD Good times. Yeah, it is amazing how unique most of these games were despite the limited technology at the time. @ Panther

Good god old times. Shit this means I am old. :( Sonic 1 was among the first games I played on it too...I also never beat that game lol. Emulators kept my game going and I played a few more through those, but nothing can beat the nostalgia that comes from playing these games, and how good they were for their time, and perhaps still better in principle and programming than most games nowadays.
