Played this on my older brothers’ N64!

I was born late 90s, but stayed a generation behind in gaming until 3DS era

I was a very 'big' kid when that one came out. 🤭

nellie.starts.party•8 days ago

I wasn't born yet XD but it's the first game I ever played on my sister's game cube

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's a great place to start. My son's first games were AC and Mario Sunshine. Those two games inspired him to read. 😆

nellie.starts.party•8 days ago

Mario Sunshine is another classic I played on GameCube!!!

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

GameCube...so under appreciated. 😔 Too many missed out on an absolute golden age of gaming. Glad you didn't! 😉

This game is the earliest memory I have as a human.

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

Not a bad one to start your memories with. ✨️

Ever since I started giving Sonic as a series another chance, Ryan Drummond has been living in my head rent free (especially with the line that plays in the image) and is THE Sonic voice for me, despite the only Sonic game I can recall playing where he was Sonic's voice being Heroes.

Absolute classic 👌

😆 🤣 😂 😹

oregonsoracle.bsky.social•8 days ago

Olde skool.

(Sorry, couldn’t find a gif)

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's "olde" school. 😆

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

3-D in a game?!? This one was mind-blowing when first seen at the arcade. 😲 🏆

zannahrose.bsky.social•8 days ago

Too old for a gif but here is a screenshot!

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh what an original choice! 👏 The games that were coming out in the late 80s and early 90s really had a HUGE canvas to paint upon. 🎨

zannahrose.bsky.social•8 days ago

They really did! 🙂

And the games that married education with entertainment were so instrumental to so many of us.

zannahrose.bsky.social•7 days ago

They really were! My fondest memories were these kinds of games... Magic School Bus, Math Blasters, most I don't remember the name of now.

A true OG classic. 👍

missapea.bsky.social•8 days ago

This game started my love of Zelda, but A Link to the Past was the game that MADE me a gamer because I was DETERMINED to beat that game.

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

Link to the Past is my all-time favorite SNES game. Pure gold. 🏆

Perfection 👌

rebelbagel.bsky.social•8 days ago

I have way too many tbh so here's a few others...

markwars.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wow, do I still love that one! ❤️

rebelbagel.bsky.social•8 days ago

This one's a little niche 😅

girlytomboyx.bsky.social•8 days ago

Good old Super Mario World! 😄

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

The amount of time I spent playing this in the college dormitory makes it amazing that I ever graduated.

girlytomboyx.bsky.social•8 days ago

😂 that's wonderful. I was 4 or 5 years old when I got this & SNES alongside with Mario Kart for Christmas, & been a gamer since haha. My parents then followed up with Super Mario All Stars so I could also play the original Super Mario Bros 1, Lost Levels, 2 & 3 in one cartridge 😄

markwars.bsky.social•8 days ago

Good parents. 👍

conartst.bsky.social•8 days ago

SMW might be one of the prime examples of why 16-bit artstyles are my favorite kinds. The game is definitely slippery as hell, but it looks so good that I just don't even care about how the game feels to play.
