when I finally got my NES system in '88, the big deal was that now I didn't have to waste quarters in the arcade (remember those?) For me it all started with one game: Rad Racer, complete with 3-D glasses. Mine didn't come with Super Mario Bros, it was just the system and nothing else.
I would always make my friends bring over their 'cool' games like megaman II, SMB, super pitfall, skate or die, t&c surf, stinger, gradius, contra, mike tyson's punch out, zelda, milon's secret castle, a boy and his blob (haha)... I'll never forget the morning I finished Castlevania II.
Did anyone have the "wheel of fortune" cartridge? I remember there used to be an urban legend that if you put the game in the freezer for a while, you would get new puzzles.
