Old School Games
 
So I just was playing old school (For me anyways) Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, and Super Mario Allstars on the SNES and I just couldn't help but have nostalgia. Man were these great games, well crafted and challenging. I just wanted to show my appreciation for these ones :) Hoping some of you all remember these titles, I actually have alot of the Super Mario World songs stuck in my head right now, I actually can hum the title screen song to this day completely without even having to look it up. :arrgh!:

My first electronic game was Munchman - a Pac-Man rip-off. I used to spend hours on it, my trawlerman neighbour used to borrow it and attained the high score for several years, but I beat him in the end. :D

My first was the original pong, and my first computer game was Parsec for the Texas Instruments TI-99.

Oh wow, can't really remember what could have been my first game after some 20+ years of gaming. :o :-?

The ones I have fond memories of are: Super Metroid, Super Mario- (Bros. 3, World, Kart), Pilotwings, Gunship 2000, Final Fantasy III/VI.

I had to check to see if that came with a Lens-Lok antipiracy device, turns out it was Tomahawk!

For those of you < 35 this is a Lenslok :P
