Hey now, dont just single out the "old gamers". Surprisingly enough, some of us kids like 16-bit games too.
Ive actually hardly ever played Super NES, but I was obsessed with Genesis as a kid. We had 2 systems at that time, 8-bit NES and Genesis. I'll admit that I enjoyed the NES alot more, but I still had alot of fun with the Genesis. We had [and still do have] quite a few games for it, and I be pretty hard pressed to choose a favourite. I always played Ristar alot, very fun side-scrolling action game. The opening title went something like this:
" In a far off galaxy... An evil alien force is at work. The evil tyrant Greedo has captured the planet leaders and enslaved the population. Even the legendary hero has been captured. A desperate plea for help is made, and answered, by the hero's own son...."
The Ristar logo flashes onto the screen with the start menu, letting you begin your quest.
I had that little story from the first memorized as a kid...Im not 100% if I still got it exactly right, but I know it's close. I played this game constantly, but to this day I never beat it. I played it for the first time in years a few months ago, and though it may look like a kiddy game, it's actually fairly difficult. The gameplay is great, the bosses are very cool, I still get the music stuck in my head...one of my favourite video games of all-time. Supposedly you can win it on the Sega Mega-Collection for Gamecube, I really need to pick that up.
Wow...now I need to go hook up the ol' Genesis, Im feeling really nostalgic.
