When it comes to games Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. I've replayed them so much that I know absolutely everything about them. Even memorized all the trainer names v.v I'm not proud of it, but I was obsessed with that game from when I was 10 to 13 XD

I used to beat Punch Out, Double Dragon II, and Shadow of the Ninja pretty much daily, sometimes several times a day. I would often play with the controller behind my back for a little extra challenge.

Looking back, it's pretty amazing how little content most games used to have. They were also incredibly expensive so I would end up playing the few games I owned over and over.

And I bet you enjoyed every minute of it. Now that you have more money and likely lots of games, how many have you played through more than once, or even once? I can say the same. I haven't played through quite a few games I own now... In some instances they almost seem too long lol. At times I just need a break.

I wouldn't say that, exactly. I used to beg for new games. Even the sports games of the time were all about figuring out the timing and exploiting the loop-holes. It's true I did love the NES but it wasn't until I found Final Fantasy (1) that I fell in love with an individual game, as it brought much more imagination to the table than most other titles. My number one hobby as a kid was reading science fiction and fantasy novels so I've always craved greater depth and immersion from gaming, so I'm pretty happy how things have progressed.

It's certainly true that I don't appreciate games as much now, though. Kid version of me would be shocked that I have so many games that I've never even played.

Soul caliber! Before that I was good at games but didn't consider myself elite at any particular one.

This the one on the dreamcast was my fav.

I've 100% completed Super Mario 3D Land (including beating each level as Mario and Luigi, getting the top of the flag pole on each level, and collecting every star medal across 16 worlds) over 6 times since its launch. So probably that one.

bet: lost
