Atari 5200: Pitfall II, River Raid, Keystone Capers. I picked these up soon after the demise of the 5200 and during the great crash of the early 80's at a Toys R' Us in Seattle while visiting my grandparents. Activision forever!
Apple IIgs (family system): Might & Magic II. Although we had some shareware type "games" for the system such as Sabotage, Oregon Trail, and Swords & Sorcery, the very first "real" game I bought for it was M&M II. I wish now that I had bought the sequels as well, but by the time I beat this game I had a SNES anyway. ![]() Gameboy: Ducktales. I think. I remember I beat this game in about 2 days worth of playing, but spent many, many hours just trying to get all the hidden gems etc. Extremely fun. I think I will play my GB emulator tonight in fact. SNES: Super Street Fighter II. At least, I'm pretty sure: my memory of that era is vague, I basically just remember playing a whole lotta FF3. ![]() PC (200MHz Pentium system, the first computer I personally owned): Duke Nukem 3d: Plutonium Edition. And it crashed in certain levels in unavoidable ways, even with -noclip, which was very frustrating - I basically had to use cheats to beat the game. Playstation 1: FFVII and Einhander. I splurged and bought both of these. I needed FFVII, of course and I also bought Einhander because I liked Square and thought an action game would round out my 2 game library. ![]() Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure. This was the game I bought the Dreamcast for. (Little did I know Rayman 2 would blow me out of the water a year later.) In my mind, this was the most amazing game of the time. Certainly there were no launch titles for PS2 that beat it or even came close. (I sold my DC and have recently purchased a new one off Ebay, and this time the first game I purchased for it was Shenmue.) NES: Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, & 3, Castlevania, and Conquest of the Crystal Palace. I bought a used NES after I bought the Dreamcast. Even though I could emulate it, I still wanted an original NES, since they're fairly cheap. The Mario games are true classics. I purchased the other two games because they are ones I nearly beat the few times I rented a NES back in the day. Playstation 2: (I'll have to look when I get home, I'm not sure on this one. Mostly, I played my old PS1 games on it with higher def graphics. )Gamecube: Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II. A definite must-have title for the good 'ole cubey. This really showed me what the GC was capable of, and cemented the notion in my mind that it was more powerful than the PS2. Gameboy Advance/Gameboy Advance SP: Final Fantasy Legends & Metroid Fusion. Yes, I bought into the whole "Ooh, a new gameboy is out only 1.5 days after the previous version was release, I must have one!!!11!!" mentality. The SP's buttons were not very good, imho. However, I beat Fusion, which is one of the few games I've actually beaten in the past 5 years. Without a walk-through, I would have given up on the back-tracking. (I have since sold my GBA and GBA SP - I never owned a Micro.)Nintendo DS: Kirby's Canvas Curse. Very cool game that used the stylus. I thought it was fun, but nothing that blew my mind. Having to draw lines actually got tiring after awhile. (I have since sold the DS - no DS lite for me!) Jam it back in, in the dark.
