A lot of them were gifts and games were included in with them. Ones in bold were ones were I got during my own trip to the store right after getting the system.

Mostly, there was always one or two "must-have" games that fueled my want for a system. Classic Mario normally does the trick and so do new fighters (though I don't have DOA3, EX3 or Sunshine anymore). PS1 was a huge jump from the capabilities of the SNES at the time and I was impressed by the large library of cool-looking games, so I got to go to town when it came out. I still remember I had finished FFVII and I saw Suikoden for $20 my first real look at the PS1 section and thinking, "Wow, 108 characters...FFVII only had 7! THIS I gotta see!"

I actually didn't like Metroid when I first got it...A few weeks of dabbling around and figuring out where to go slowly made me grow into it. I've still never beaten it straight out (at least not without "Justin Bailey").

Jam it back in, in the dark.
