Okay so when I was little (I mean like 4 or 5 or 6 little, my hands wouldn't exactly fit around the controller little) my family has a SNES but we only had four games for it: Super Mario World, Final Fantasy II, and Zelda: A Link to the Past, and the Lion King. I loved those games to death. I played the mess out of them. I didn't beat a single one of them though, but I still loved them.
Now thanks to the Wii I can play at least two of them (I still have to get enough wii points to d/l the zelda game though).
I was wondering if anyone else had any childhood stories like that, or favorite classic (before 3d) games that they love(d).

I would play Dr. Mario for HOURS on my old NES back in my early high school years when I had nothing better to do.
I also loved seeing how quickly I could beat Super Mario 3.
gonk aw man.. I've got to pull out that old system.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ninja Gaiden... Nuff NUFF said there LOL! No.. but honestly... Super Mario RPG. That was my personal addiction when it came to console games. Then Suikoden, and that was before 3D rendering really took off.

I never had a game system until the Genesis era, however, my grandma (yeah, really!) had a NES system at her place to entertain the grandkids (she was also a tetris fiend! That and the original Jaws game... she would sail around looking for that damn shark for hours!) so I would play it after school a lot with my cousins, cause my grandma looked after us three when we were off school till our parents came to get us.
I particularly liked Mario 3, and though my cousin could beat it (he knew the right warp whistle tricks to get through it real fast), I never did until much later. We also had Zelda II, and played that a lot. We'd hand off the controller when someone died. Contra and Ikari Warriors were the other mainstays. I couldn't get very far in Contra ever, but my cousin and I got nearly to the very end of Ikari Warriors doing two player mode.
One classic series I rarely got to play, since it was a friend who brought the cartridge over, was the Castlevanias. Oh how I love and yet hate the original trilogy games. Love because the'yre fun and classic, hate because they are stupid amounts of hard. I never beat a single one till a few years ago when i got them in emulation wink

Not only was that game awesome but it was harder than HELL to beat.

Not only was that game awesome but it was harder than HELL to beat. I'm noticing that trend in older video games. I get my a** whooped playing them. So does my brother, which is even more incredulous. He sailed through Twilight Princess without so much as a scratch, but he got beat the ******** down playing zelda 1 and 2. I bet he'd school zelda 3 though, since we actually remember playing that one. @Miss Death: Reading your comment about playing an NES in high school made me feel like I was still in diapers. when I was in early high school, we were moving on from the Xbox. I don't even remember playing an NES, Dad says we had one though, so that's all that matters.

My fav before 3-d game was Super Mario brothers for the Super Nintendo. My mom and me actually played it so much that we got mario and lugi up to lvl 100. But then my friend Austin turned the system off before we saved it and lost all that data. We haven't touched it much sense and that was some years ago. lol. xd
