Mynd Hed
Holy blue on a popo!
NES - Of course I got the Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt bundle that came with it, but the first game I bought was Dr. Mario. Coincidentally that is also the last game that my dad has ever been willing to play with me. Oh, the trash talk that used to fly between us over that game.... (-:
SNES - Super Mario Kart was the reason I bought that system, and I still like it better than SMK64. Good stuff.
Gameboy - I bought it for Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and it's still my favorite GB game around. This game was the closest I'll ever get to a sequel to Link to the Past with top-down graphics and traditional Zelda gameplay, so I enjoyed every minute of it. (-: Besides, it had that fun glitch where you warp to the opposite side of the screen you're moving into if you hit the start button at exactly the right time... so simple, but you could abuse it so easily. Good fun. Oh, and it had the only weapon in the entire Zelda universe that could actually succeed in destroying the mighty chickens! (Oh, and a pox on Wind Waker for eschewing chickens in favor of pigs. What ever happened to tradition?)
Playstation - Twisted Metal 2. That was a game that managed to be a helluva lot of fun almost in spite of itself. Glitchy graphics and poor AI dragged it down, and yet somehow it managed to stay fun for just about as long as I owned the system.
Nintendo 64 - Goldeneye. What else? For those of us who didn't have badass computers back in the day, this was the be-all and end-all of first person shooters for a long time.
Dreamcast - Soul Calibur. In those heady days when it still seemed like Sega might have a fighting chance against Sony, this is the game that tipped the scales against the PS2 for a lot of us. And it held its crown as my favorite fighting game of all time until just last month. (-:
Gamecube - When I bought it, there was a deal in which you could choose from two or three free games. I didn't particularly want any of them, but since it was free, I picked up Mario Party 4. It's not a bad game, don't get me wrong, I just prefer the second or third for the N64. Anyway, at the same time I picked up NHL Hitz 2003 brand new for a mere $8.75. I'll never understand why it was so cheap, because it's a primo game and probably the one that's gotten the most use on my 'Cube (as much because my former roomie was obsessed with it as anything else, though, heh heh, because I'll rate SSBM and SCII right up with it in terms of fun).
