Still love Yellow, never quite finished just playing the first gen games when I want to Pokemon. Played Red first though.

Ah I guess we know your first Pokemon then mine was Charmander.

I had a Centipede/Millipede combo I played a lot on the Game Boy. Also Galaga/Galaxian. Those were both pretty early for me.

What a good game. I remember the first two to four of those being excellent but got sidetracked somewhere around there. They ever make one you can play online that seems like a good idea.

Always wanted to play Mario Bros against another player. A lot of old nes games seem like they'd be a lot more fun that way.

I've been thinking about playing Banjo again I haven't touched it since it was pretty new and never played the sequel. Good stuff in retrospect.

I can imagine how good a game would have to be for me to be able to recall that. Maybe I will go ahead and check it out soon.

I had forgotten what Yooka Laylee was and had to look it up and my question is, anyone remember Chameleon Twist?

I don't really remember a single actual level from dk64. I guess there was a desert one?? Mostly just the song.

Still like Lemmings. Have a floppy of Chip's Challenge and no place to put it.

Which SF Psyche I've been playing some of those lately.

I find it easier to perform specials in Street Fighter with the stick but in truth I've hardly tried with the pad.

Huge false dichotomy, get a "stickless stick" like hitbox. There's a soft consensus it's the best control for fighting games
I will check this out thanks.

I have been itching to replay that recently even after all the times I've beaten it. Fantastic game.

Were you able to really appreciate Space Invaders? I played it decades late and it was kind of underwhelming.

Charmander was my very first so that's up there. I've really been enjoying the Eevee family as a whole lately so I'll say Eevee. And I've always wanted a Snorlax for a bed. Oh and Magikarp lol.

I actually don't think I really have a favorite, the variety is why I like them so much. My first Eevee became a Flareon so maybe that. Umbreon is definitely cool. Or like Sylveon lol.

I thought every peripheral was used with at least two games.

Lol I thought this was your thread and the Excitebike comment was a guess as to your next game. Glad you found my misplaced response.
