I probably owned less than 10 games and most of them sucked because I bought games based on box art. But, with those few games, I was able to get my hands on pretty much ANYTHING I wanted to play. Classic franchises that still live, today are (third party only):
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear
Castlevania
Bionic Commando
Mega Man
Other beloved franchises are: 8-Eyes, Contra, Adventure Island, Blaster Master, Abadox, The Adventures of Bayou Billy, LoLo, Battletoads, Double Dragon, you get the idea. I could go on and on.
Sadly, the thought of playing some of these games now (especially on the Virtual Console) scares the shit out of me! I don't have the skills anymore. Still, at the time, I was in video game heaven.
