I've been through my attic I found my copy Mortal Kombat 3 :) I remember in 1996 my partents got it for me for x-mas. I bought a SEGA POWER mag which had all the moves in it and cheats it was awsome that game. I also found would you believe or not Turtle's In Time. I remember renting that from BlockBuster for 3 days I finished it and then bought a 2nd hand copy of it.

I also found OutRun on my master system too. I'm going tomorrow to see if they have any of the games you've all mentioned. Which where all classics I'm ****ed off cause I've lost my Mario Allstarts, Mario Kart & Mario World :bang head
 
F-zero on SNES was fun :D

Sonic 2 was my fav. sonic, after a while, the newer ones started getting just "blah" like.
 
Snes:

Super Castlevania 4 (still one of my favorites)
Zelda, A Link To The Past
Super Metroid
Mortal Kombat II
DK Country 1&2
Secret of Mana
 
Ahhh megaman X and chrono trigger. talk about classics. IF anyone has chrono trigger, I want it Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :p
 
My ex-roommate had a SNES and other consoles. I've posted about this before, but I'd always play his games wrong because he would get so mad. :D

Anyhoo, he had Wing Commander. I don't remember what the fighters were called, but if IIRC, after a number of missions you'd be able to get some some elite light fighter that you'd have the option to keep for the rest of the game. It was one of two fighters that had the lightest, longest-ranged laser.

So he got the thing and just to irritate him I flew out of the carrier, turned it around, started firing at the carrier and just kept ramming it at full throttle (it should be pretty easy to picture this kind of idiocy).

Well, amidst all of the yelling, I discovered that if you could damage the fighter to the point where you knocked out one of the lasers while still leaving your power intact, it would channel all of the power through the remaining laser. If you could keep any other fighter in your sights, you could blow it up in one burst. I think it was even good enough to take out the capital ships.

I'd still sit down for an hour and play that.
 
Sega Genesis and Snes were two of the BEST systems of all time in my opinion.

Another fun game for the Snes was Micky Mouse... (I forget the whole name), but it was made by Capcom.
 
Snes
Super mario kart
mario allstars + lost levels + supermario world
SUPER GAMEBOY
Stunt race FX
Simcity
NBA LIVE 95
STARFOX
err... can't remember the rest... but that system pwnes...
