Favorite Video Games from your childhood?

[Mr.Po]

Broke many a joystick playing this .........

Activison made some badass games back in the day for the old Atari.

 

[Deuce511]

RBI Baseball
Double Dragon
Mike Tyson's Punch Out

I don't think I played a single game other than those three for a few years until Madden started to get good in the mid 90's.

Which was exactly my thought that Christmas morning. Every single kid in our neighborhood had a Nintendo and were rocking Super Mario Brothers and Mike Tyson's Punchout and we are stuck with a Sega?

It was like the families who chose Beta over VHS. Good job Parents...

Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega was the shit!

Almost anything Atari kicked ass.

To me that was a big sigh of relief

Defender, Asteroids for Atari
Zelda, Super Tecmo Bowl, Contra for Nintendo

And Street Fighter...

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Contra has to be one of the best games ever..I bet that game would still be fun now

 

[DragonCowboy]

Damn I'm young.

I remember Super Mario 64 (I think I was 6 or 7 when it came out) being the first game I ever played. The Zelda franchise has been amazing.

If I named them all, I'd be here all day.

I'll just that with all the old school games being remade into HD downloadable titles, the one I would love to see is an HD version of the original Metroid.

 

[Rynie]

Super Mario Bros. 3
Mega Man 3 (actually ALL of them)
Contra

 

[Theebs]

Super Mario Bros. 3
Mega Man 3 (actually ALL of them)
Contra

Super Mario 3 is great. I am going to hook up my Nintendo today so my son can play it.

I was looking around for 1 and 2 for him and I am Suprised how much they sell for.

 

[carphalen5150]

Berzerk and Pitfall were greatness.

 

[Texas Ace]

Berzerk and Pitfall were greatness.

Pitfall is the first console game I ever played on my cousin's Atari.

That and Pole Position were my favorites on that system.

Game nerds, answer me this:

one time I was playing Mario brothers on level 7. I accidentally jumped on a turtle that coming down the stairs, but when I did, Mario just kept stomping his ass for like 10 minutes, every time he stomped him I got an extra life. Instead of a # of lives, I had like a crown symbol next to my extra lives.

Why did that happen? Ever see it before?

 

[superpunk]

yes thats a pretty well known trick to get unlimited lives.
