Sonic 3.
I might post a review up of it in the next few days. Doubt it'll be well-received, but I can hope.

Spyros 2 and 3. I was crap at them myself (never got past the first boss on 2), but I spent ages playing them.

My favorite game was Mario and the Legend of the Seven Stars. I've wanted to play that again ever since I was a little kid, but could never find it again! I also loved Super Mario Kart, and have never seen another 'kart' game that could compare. Also, Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World...apparently I was a Mario kid.

When I was -really- young, I played a few computer games. One about these two monkey-kid things, one boy and one girl, who were in this treehouse. It's probably called 'The Treehouse' or something. And then there was this other game where you played a scuba diver who swam around shining his flashlight on stuff to find hidden fish or something. When you solved a puzzle, it would complete more of a rainbow. No idea what that one was called.

I grew up on the Sega Saturn, never even had an n64... The game BUG for the saturn was very entertaining, especially for a kid around 7 or 8. Me and some friends even took out the saturn a while back, and let the memories flow.

My favorite when I was a child (and still is) is Star Fox 64. I still play it every once in a while, sometimes shouting random quotes from the game.

Without a doubt Final Fantasy 3, as it was known to America on the SNES cartridge, cemented my love for RPG's and my present, merely slight, addiction to gaming. To this day it is one of my favorites.

I was too young to fully understand what I was doing in Dragon Quest. All I remember is "OH MY GOD! SLIME!" and then I'm pretty sure I was lost after that.

Also, I think I have to give a nod to Shining in the Darkness for the Genesis. The Nintendo was my first system...but the SNES and Genesis just gave me so much to play with. And I remember Shining in the Darkness' graphics just blowing my mind. Granted, I never beat it back then. I have now...it's an alright game. Tough as hell if you don't spend hours leveling.

Anyway...yeah.. Final Fantasy III (VI) for the SNES. Legendary in my eyes.

The game I liked most as a child? Duke Nukem 3D... Violence, humor and babes did it for me even when I was eight.

i haven't owned a console before the Game Cube sadly but i loved this old dos game for the pc called Search for Cetus, i never saw it again after i lost the floppy it was on but i still have fond memories of it, until i discovered Readneck Rampage and found a whole new obsession until my grades started falling (i was and am still lazy) and i was banned from games until i could get money to buy my own, then no one could say a thing HA.

I loved a game called "Hero" on the C64. You had a jetpack and a gun, which pretty much made for the best combo ever as far as my youthful mind was concerned.

Holy ess, that was a great game. But it was a helicopter pack, not a jet pack, which somehow makes it even better.

My first ever console game was Tarzan as far as I can remember, although Pokemon certainly has a prominent place in my young memories, but i'd have to say Super Smah Bros was one of my favourites.

Little Nemo and Ducktales were my favorite NES games. The kids in my neighborhood would set up Tecmo Super Bowl leagues too, which was awesome.

Once I got my first PC, I played about a billion hours of Duke Nukem and Rise of the Triad. Rise of the Triad was super classic. I liked being able to burn my pixelated foes down to skeletal piles of ash.
