@Jared Oooh wow, how did I leave off Super Tecmo?!? I knew that you would have beef with me for not including Mario Kart!

Super Tecmo Bowl has to take it all on the NES >> Bo Jackson at his finest!! Of course, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out and RBI Baseball were solid game plays as well.

I’m surprised that Mario Kart 64 didn’t show up on your N64 list.. it’s an absolute classic. GoldenEye 007 is the master of all games with the system.. but Kart comes close around the Smith household.. even today it is played every Christmas.

Thanks for throwing all these out here.. a nice touch of memories to them all. The Wizard was when the Body Glove was revealed.. and the warp-levels of Super Mario Bros 3 shown. It was Wonder Year’s boy at his peek!!

@Jennifer Call me a wuss, but Kirby always frightened me as a child.

@Cameron They didn’t have a Genesis Icon!!! Remember Altered Beast?

Time well spent, TB. While we did not have any gaming consoles in the Hanks home, I did regularly hit them up at friends’ houses. River Raid, Mario and Goldeneye – three best (most addictive) games ever.

I can still close my eyes and see the paths on River Raid. I am sure scientist will discover that is an illness one day.

Atari had a pretty kickass Sesame Street game . That’s the only one I could play when I was little without throwing things (even then, patience wasn’t my best attribute). I was always a huge fan of Kirby on the original Nintendo, mainly because I could get to higher levels in that game than in the Mario games.

I LOVED The Wizard. Fred Savage, Christian Slater and the kid from Little Big League? Prime entertainment… Cal-i-FORn-ia….Cal-i-FORn-ia…
