My favorite games is not on your list, I'm not sure if it is 80 or 90s games but I really love it I play it using joystick, who knows the game Biker Mice ?
Biker mice is the best game that I really play it's a race game but it's like a death race and it's really fan I wish I can play it again.
Absolutely Yes I know that.I totally BEAT that game in 1998-99 with Character Throttle The Leader of Biker Mice,Vinnie,Modo Villain Character Limburger,Grease Pit,Karbunkle. After beating the game new Features Added ''SUPERHARD''
Mario and Zela are the ones which pop up in my head from that list. I loved Mario but wasn't a fan of Zelda. I used to love Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Pikachu and scooby doo (not that I could pass some levels on the game). I used to play EarthWorm Jim on the PC as-well until I got stuck by a tree.
Yes Crash Bandicoot 1-3,Spyro from PS1,I beat this game Earthworh jim 2 in SNES EARLY 1998-99.You must collect all hidden banner in this game to get a password but if you missed one of those no password will be given in SNES.Good thing in pc you can save it directly.
My favorite game that time is Mario Bros. It was the best for me that time. I also play Contra Adventures and Pacman and some simple games. I enjoy playing a lot that time. The graphics are not so awesome but the entertainment is high. Also it's addictive.
Totally agree with you man when i was 5 years of old i played NES Grade School,High School even college till now i played in emulator and some online retro games
