1985
Huntin' ducks practically since the day I was born.
1989
Devious level design, pixel-perfect platforming, superb controls...it was the standard of gaming back in the day. It also sported one of the sickest soundtracks in the medium. Seriously, there must be at least a billion Wily Stage 1 covers on youtube by now.
1990
Fond memories of staying up late with my older siblings trying to beat the game. Loved all the ridiculous suits.
1990
Shadow Man and Gemini Man had some really memorable stages, and this was also the first appearance of Proto Man and the badass slide. It did a lot of amazing things in terms of music and pushing the NES to its limit, but it also suffered from excruciating slowdown and a pretty lame idea to bring back MM2 bosses later in the game.
1991
The Sonic phenomena took me by storm as a kid. Loved its attitude, the blazing speed gameplay, and just the general look of it all. It was a spicy change of pace that strangled away my attention from Mario. The soundtrack is still one of my favorites to this day.
1991
Fuckin' up my favorite cartoon villains with my favorite cartoon heroes. Good times.
1992
Super Mario World might've been the game de jour back then, but I personally found the Game Boy series much more addictive.
1992
Ah, delicious trash can apples and turkey dinners. Does the body good.
1993
Badass moves, badass levels, badass music. This game was fucking badass. Don't actually remember if it really was all that good or not, but screw the details...I loved the X-Men and this game did amazing work with the characters.
1993
I may prefer the 8-bit series over its 16-bit successors as a whole, but X might just be my favorite of the entire franchise. Gorgeous sprite work that still looks great to this day, an entirely 90's vibe with the rock music and futuristic setting, and sublime levels and boss fights.
