If you had tiny little girl hands, maybe. Those controllers gave me callouses and made my hands sore. Still, Super Dodge Ball was pretty much the best game ever.

You needed to man up and work through the pain to be honorabu Nintendo gamer. The callouses were a right of passage.

kids these days be all like "siri how do i get infinite guns" and back in my day you needed to have a freakin' library card and know about the dewey decimal system and poo poo

I had the whole Gen/32x/CD monstrosity and it wasn't that cool. Doom on it was really lame cause it was like half of the game and just stopped in the middle of episode 2, where it just kinda crashed to the loving c prompt on the loving 32x of all things.

Came here to post this, Phantasy Star 4 was one I rented without any idea what it was. Got me hooked on RPGs.

And to reiterate the Toejam and Earl love. But remember to go back to Level 1 when you get the right presents. Hit the island in the upper right hand corner of the map, then go down to lower left hand corner to get to Level 0 and sit in the hot tub!

Also, Mutant League Football/Hockey ruled. If you're losing too badly halfway through, just work on killing the whole opposing team!

I distinctly remember trading in a bunch of games to get enough cash to buy final Fantasy 3 for $80 back in the day. Games were ridiculously expensive back then.

quote:

First announced in June 1988 in Beep!, a Japanese gaming magazine, the developing console was referred to as the "Mark V", but Sega management felt the need for a stronger name. After reviewing more than 300 proposals, the company settled on "Mega Drive". In North America, the name of the console was changed to "Genesis". The reason for this change is not known, but it may have been due to a trademark dispute.

Actually, looking on eBay last week and some of my old Master System games are worth like $75-$100.

But yeah, I had a Master System. and a Genesis. And an intellivision, but most people don't know what the gently caress that is. Burgertime is all I have to say.

That game has like over 150+ levels or something. It would probably be easier if you could save your game in some way, but even then some later levels were brutal.

Genesis sounds kinda cool, but "MEGA DRIVE" sounds like the fake technolingo that was so popular in 80-90's movies. "I'M HACKING PAST THE FIREWALL DEFENSE MATRIX, BUT THE MEGA DRIVE IS GIVING OUT!!!"
