What was your favorite game from that gen?

Dude... That's a very hard question.

Super Mario World was my first game ever, so I spend a lot of my childhood playing it. I also love the Donkey Kong Country trilogy (Especially the third one), Super Street Fighter II and Yoshi's Island.

I used to rent some games. Chrono Trigger was by far my favorite.

I never had a Sega Genesis, but a friend of mine had one. I used to like the first Sonic the Hedgehog and Quackshot Starring Donald Duck.

Oh it's a brutal question. I have a solid 10 games from SNES alone I could pick on any given day. 

I usually stick with the Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid answer though.

Gen 5, my sig says it all.


You've got to experience all 3 companies somewhat, that's pretty awesome! Just need some Super Nintendo in there ;D


I wasn't born when it came out! I must have been only 4 when I first played on the PS.

I figured Gen 4 would be in second, but 5 is currently holding that title!

Mid 30s ish? Unless you got the system a bit later in its life?

That isn't that old :)



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Could be worse! I certainly could have started with Gen 2, since my family had no idea when any of it released haha.

I know I played an old Atari at some point, just not sure which one or at what point I played it.
