I forget heaps of trivial stuff like this.. Anyway..

Add Diablo 1-2 to the list. .For me anyway. Zelda, Mario all that great shit.

-All "Resident Evil" series are great. With RE4 being an uber game.

OMFG!

I completely forgot about that game! I actually own the cart still too. I thought that I was the only one that loved it. I remember always picking the witch doctor dude and skating around for hours. It was like the Tony Hawk of back in the day! *Appends list*

Heh, I still have all my NES cartridges (except one, see next sentence) but my NES isn't working. It might be addicted to my Game Genie again; but I can't find my Game Genie =(
I have the book!
