I have also similar memories about the 3D games, but they killed my favourite genre the 2D platformer so I can't call it my favourite because it's been jaded by that. I also really enjoyed the first level of Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast, that was epic enjoyable. The first memory that comes to mind has to be acheiving super sonic form in Sonic 2, that was a fucken hard challenge back then and it was SOOO worth acheiving... I never wanted to turn my console off. But I think the ultimate memory for me just lies in being a gamer when I was a kid, going around to friends places and beating games like Mario Bros 3, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter 2, UN Squadron, Sonic, Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country's I think will stick in my mind as some of the most enjoyable times of my life :)
