While the family's first console was the NES, I think it was the Super Nintendo that really solidified my love of video games. Everything was so much more colorful and detailed, the lineup I played was much more diverse and exposed me to a lot of genres I never would have played. The sound chip was also significantly upgraded and allowed some truly impressive soundtracks (something that I found even the Nintendo 64 could not compare to).
Back in this era, rental stores were common and the weekly trip to rent another game based on a cover and a back of the box summary was all that stood between a weekend of disappointment or excitement. Some personal favorites of mine included: MegaMan X, Final Fantasy III, Chrono Trigger, Aerobiz Supersonic, Super Mario Kart, Top Gear 2 and so many more.
Here's to you Super Nintendo, one of my greatest consoles of all time.
