random video games you played as a child

[hobbit]

what were yours? when i was younger i used to play mario is missing for the computer. it was educational game that taught you geography and social studies stuff. it was really random. also, i used to play this side-scrolling game called super bubsy. my grandpa gave it to me because he didn't know anything about video games. it was about some cat living in a cartoon world or something. i don't even remember the point of it.

i also used to play the shining force a lot as a kid. i'd play it for hours a day. it was the first rpg outside of pokemon that i owned and i loved it so much. it's basically sega's answer to fire emblem. so far it's the only strategy game that i've ever played.

what about you guys?

Why did you just quote yourself?

Regardless, my old childhood computer had a bunch of great DOS games - Galactix, Duke Nukem, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, and a bunch of others I can't think of.

Oh, and Commander Keen. If you haven't played Commander Keen, you don't know shit about video games.

I played mostly really mainstream stuff when I was young. You know, Nintendo's main dishes.

There's still one not as well known (but you still all know that game) as the Marios of this world, that I just kept renting and renting again, and that would be

MOTHERFUCKIN' STUNT RACE FX!!

God, I loved that game. [/spoiler]

Oh, and there's also that one Mickey Mouse game for the SNES where Mickey could wear different costumes and he'd have powers according to these costumes. That was pretty cool.

I remember having some Looney Toons game, the train levels were a pain. 

[Samus Aran]

mostly the same games i still play - mario platformers, mega man games, donkey kong country games, mario rpg...i grew up on mostly excellent games with no nostalgia goggles necessary

there were a few, though, that i liked when i was little that i certainly don't know...like Scooby Doo, Pac Man Adventures 2, and Pac-Attack...all on the SNES

oh and two disney snes games that were actually fairly good but i haven't played in a long time (though i still own them)...lion king and toy story.
