Addiction

Donkey Kong Country was good, and number 2 was better.

Also, Super Smash Bros and Mario Party were, and still are, the epitomes of party games. Sure, the sequels have improved on and refined the formula, but in all, the original and the best holds true.

Moonduck

Tecmo Super Bowl - only football game I ever liked. My friends and I used to stay up all night playing this thing in my dorm room. Damned near got me kicked out school.

Zombies Ate my Neighbors, Earthworm Jim, River Raid, River city Ransom, Granada (Sega), Parsec (TI), Adventure (TI), Super Bomberman I & II, Gyruss...

I could go on for hours. I wish I could find some of my old systems and the games on them.

Jack Ruby

Where cartridge-based games are concerned, I've only owned a NES, Gameboy and GBA. So there's a shitlist of games I still have to catch up to. Nevertheless:

NES: Super Mario 3
SNES : Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger (I'm yet to finish any of these, I'll get around to it one of these days. Thank god for emulation)
Gameboy : Tetris, of course

doubt I can complete the list, I'll try to keep it short

Chrono Trigger, Metroid, Super Metroid, All 4 TMNT Games (4 is awesome multiplayer badness), All Mega Man Games (X is sweet, I make that game look simple), Zelda, All three Contras ( I own 1 and 2 ), Snake Rattle & Roll, Marble Madness, Arch Rivals, Super Spike 'n' Vollyball, Super Dodgeball.. oh man the list goes on! heh.

There was this one game for the C64.. I can't remember the name, but you were this little stickman that had to collect orbs. there was either a time limit or some other guy you had to race. At harder levels bullets would shoot past the screen at varying speeds. With a color monitor it was all rainbow colors Oh one of the really hard levels was that it was invisible, and you had to creep along to show the board without falling off...... Soon after they shot bullet at you too.. heh

orge battle is amazing

the story line and war aspect make it a fantastic game

the only problemis the amout of time it takes to beat it

and getting the best ending is very hard as well

rockzilla

Much respect. River City Ransoms owns.

Some of my other favorites are Castlevania 3, Final Fantasy 2(4), and if old school arcade games count, Final Fight.

JoenOcoee

NES Russian Attack, Metroid, Zelda, Contra

Atari 2600 Defender, Pitfall, and Q-Bert.

I can't remember the system my cousin had, but the controllers had inserts you put in and I remember doing his fucking chores so I could get my fix of mid 80's Joust

How could I forget
Madden 1993 for SEGA! Any football game where "PUNT RUSH" is the unstoppable defense should be mentioned.

NES: Rush 'N Attack (no it is not Russian ) is by far the best nes game in my opinion.

SNES: Secret of Mana, I like it even more than FF7, also love Shadowrun and Super Tecmo Bowl.

Is it a little too sad that I still remember the cheat code for Contra?

My list:
Atari: For some reason, I really liked Burger Time oh, and Kaboom!
NES: Contra, Super Mario Bros. 3, Punch Out, Legend of Zelda, California Games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...
Genesis: Sonic of course, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Earthworm Jim...
PC: King's Quest, Space Quest, and going even more old school, Leather Goddesses of Phobos and Lemonade Stand.

...I want to play all these again now.
