Man, this dates me almost to the year. Got my first nintendo when I was 8, this was maybe the second year they existed in North America. I got the Mario/duckhunt combo, and this game Fantasyzone, sidescrolling ship shooter. It was the first game I ever beat. The last boss was fighting every boss in the game one after the other. To this day, I still haven't beaten mario (as an 8 year old I was a spastic retard and couldn't figure out the last level had to be accomplished in a specific pattern.), but I remember beatign the crap out of Fantasyzone. I also enjoyed playing my thumbs off to the original Bionic Commando, which was like the second game I ever beat.
