The first game I ever played was Mario Brothers for the Nintendo. Also, those versions of Castlevania, Wizards and Warriors, Kid Icarus, Metroid and Tetris.
And I don't care what anyone says, Wizards and Warriors is still fun. Castlevania is still fun. They're all still cool. Man, those games were a long time ago.
Then my cousins got Super Mario 2 and the other one got Zelda: Ocarina of Time and I played both games there.
And those games are still fun to revisit.
Though, I have to admit, I don't miss cartridges. CDs are a bit more reliable.
