Now this is an impressive year. I'm going to Zelda, since like Mario I still play the original Zelda game every once in a while. Even though I really enjoy most Metroid games, for some reason I could never get into the first game. I certainly can't deny the importance of Metroid though. I think Castlevania was the first game I ever played, I remember going to a rich relatives house and they were playing it on the NES that Christmas and let me try it out. Dragon Quest was such an important game, a little too grindy for my liking but a fantastic game. Arkanoid, Rampgage, and Outrun were all great games that I enjoyed,
