The games included on the Famicom Mini and NES classic (they're marginally different) and SNES classic are good places to start. There were some notable omissions though so I'd look at some old threads from when they came out to see what games people said "I can't believe they forgot to include X game!" about.

I'm a late Gen-Xer who started gaming in '87 or so, with Pole Position II and Barnstorming on Atari 7800. I'll tell you what I spent the most time on as a kid:

Castlevania, Little Nemo the Dream Master, Mario 1 and 3, PowerBlade, Dragon Warrior I-IV for NES.

Lode Runner and Super Mario Land for Game Boy.

Keith Courage, Dead Moon, Raiden, and Bomberman for TG-16. (I got my system at Toys R Us for $19.99 after it was discontinued in '94, but these games came out much earlier.)

ActRaiser, Sim City, F-Zero, SMW, Zelda III, Castlevania IV, Chrono Trigger, FF II and III for SNES.

I moved on to PC gaming around the time DOOM II came out, so I'll leave it there.

OP here. I was born in '92. Thinking back, I probably would have played an occasional game on NES or maybe older, but my first system would have been SNES if I had different parents.

Follow up question now that I'm thinking about it:
I remember in kindergarten going to a friend's house and playing an Olympics game on NES (friend's name was Cole). It was essentially a collection of mini games. I think the one I remember most was a running game.

If you play Castlevania 3, try to find the Japanese version instead. (Akumajou Densetsu) The soundtrack is leagues better because the Famicom had 2 extra sound channels the NES couldn't use. It's also easier for some reason, backwards from how the JP > US localization process tended to go.

[Anonymous No.6111827]

>>6111803
Don't ever worry about verifying your age to people in this shit hole. They just want what little clout they can get.

Another recommendation is to not get to hung up on original hardware. There are some great games out there that are nice but not worth the money. I made that mistake early on and spent more on games that I never even ended up playing then I should have.

Classic/Mini consoles are also a great resource for catching up with most problems with them being small or unnoticeable to people that just want to play a game for the first time.

Really just don't let the elitism that is around this hobby slow you down or stop you in anyway.

This. Plus with Hakchi you can put every NES/SNES game (plus others) you'd ever want on official hardware with just as good official controllers to play on and HDMI out. It is emulation, but it's good enough that I have fun playing on mine.

>Follow up question now that I'm thinking about it:
That wasn't really a question but the game you're thinking of is almost certainly Track & Field since you're probably describing the frenetic "left foot, right foot" button pressing.

They had an arcade cab of it at the lake in the changing rooms/snack bar when I was a kid. It's better as an arcade cab because it's more fun to hammer on arcade buttons (the cab doesn't even have a joystick, just three buttons)

What you're describing might have been World Class Track Meet though, a Track & Field knock off published by Nintendo that went along with their "Power Pad" exercise accessory

There is a small chance that he had pic related though, the original version of Works Class Track Meet before Nintendo bought the license to rebrand and pulled it off the shelves. It's the most valuable NES game with a modern confirmed auction sale price over $13,000 but it wasn't entirely uncommon to see copies in the early 90s. They were just considered junk back then.

See this is the kind of fun stuff you're going to get to discover.

Sounds like me and i'm 2 years younger than you but been here since /vr/ started

Honestly choose the systems you wanna really play first or you can use grab as many systems as you can and get flashcarts/ODEs as you can just buy SD cards and then get all the games you want and play them on the spot or pick whatever way you want as long as you can enjoy it.

Order wise for me it'd be
2600/Coleco -> NES/Master System -> SNES/Genesis/PC Engine (Turbografx if you want) -> 3DO/PS1/Saturn (great Japanese imports)/N64 ->Dreamcast

Handheld:
GB family -> Game Gear -> Atari Lynx -> Neo Geo Pocket

optionals:
>Sega CD and 32X

>PCs: Sharp X6800, MSX 1/2, Amiga, Commodore 64, NEC PC-88/98

>Arcade boards: Capcom( CPS 1-3), Neo Geo, Sega (System series, Model 1-3, Namco, Taito, Cave, Toplan, and more just to name a few

You can't do it in one year, sorry to inform you OP. My best suggestion would be to play the games that were on the "classic/mini" systems and whatever else you see that seems interesting. The sad part is, to fully enjoy most of the games, it takes months of playing a single game.

It's not part of anyone's childhood unless they grew up in Japan, but Umahara Kawasi is a must play as is Mr. Gimmick.

I was a SEGA kid growing up and then I graduated to PC gaming in the mid-90s so the NES, SNES and PS/N64 wasn't a big part of my childhood either.

Just find something that interests you. The sequence doesn't matter today because the feeling of newness is completely gone. A lot of the joy from gaming back in the '90s was being wowed by the increasingly better graphics.

It's funny how people pick take the year they were born, look up what consoles were current then and say that's their childhood. Nobody was playing NES games when they were 0 years old. You never got to experience the NES, SNES, and Genesis because the earliest thing you would have played is PlayStation. You were 2 when it came out. That is if you even know what year you were born in.

That's a fair point, but I'm somewhat extrapolating with how I play games now as an adult to how I would've played as a kid. By that I mean that I still play 5-6 year old games regularly on PC when they're on sale. For instance I just played STALKER CoP only a couple of years ago and loved it so so much. So if I had been a kid at that time, I probably would have played NES and SNES games even if they were a bit older because I tend to grab things that are on sale or used.

>>6113050
I was thinking something along those lines, but I didn't want to just mechanically go "5 games each" when there might be 7 top-tier SNES games, but only 3 truly great genesis games for example.

If you're 3rd world and poor you might still be playing NES games today. I've seen niglets getting famiclones as presents as recently as a few yeas ago. Not as "retro" but as "this is all we can afford". But for the vast majority of the civilized world born in 1992 every else was discarded when the PS1 was released. There's no reason for you not to play older stuff. A lot of it is very good. But doing it because you think you missed your chance as a kid probably isn't a valid reason.

If the goal is to retroactively experience the 80's and 90's childhood gaming experience, Metal Gear is part of it. Most kids saw pic related in a gaming mag or comic book and said "holy shit that looks awesome"

And yeah, it was a shitty port, but nobody had a fucking MSX. If you played it you played the NES version. Although maybe OP will go for best version over pseudo-historical accuracy, who knows how autistic he wants to be about it.

Play the NES version first, though if you're only playing on original hardware (not emulation so no savestates) and the ability to save is important to you the SNES and GBA versions offer that. You can also backtrack and revisit previously completed levels in the GBA version. The Wii U release is the most definitive, it includes the E reader levels without having to fuck around with a second GBA, the e reader, and cards.
>>6114308
No. 8bitdo controllers are all garbage, stick to official Nintendo controllers if you can. Your money would be better spent buying an NES classic and a second controller, either another NES classic, an SNES classic, or just a Wii classic controller pro.

I'm mainly here on /vr/ for the Doom threads, I don't have any retro consoles, so I will list the games I remember most vividly:

>Mario 1 and 3

>MEGA MAN 2
This cannot be overstated enough!
>Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!
I was too young for NES so that's about all I remember

[SNES]
>Super Mario World
IMO its easily the greatest SNES game ever. it left such an impression on me that all through out my life, every now and then, I would dream that I was playing and discovering new secret levels and parts of the world map

damn i cant remember anything else from the SNES

[N64]
>Goldeneye 007
surprised no one mentioned this. this is easily the n64 game i remember most vividly, but that's probably because i play FPS games the most
>Zelda Ocarina of Time
I definitely have the fondest memories of playing this game, this game was special. not sure how it has aged though
>Mario 64

>Quake
(do an internet search for quake 1.5 and play it with the quake 1.5 mod!! it's god-tier)

Now that I think about it, though, I do remember Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate MK3 for the SNES... back in the days when you didn't have internet to look up cheat codes so you had to find the secret moves from gaming magazines and strategy guide books.

Remember OP its ULTIMATE MK3, the Ultimate version comes with like dozens of extra characters to choose from. I remember cheesing the game with Rain on the hardest difficulty - you could just button mash the high/low punches and execute a combo that dealt substantial damage, as well as other cheap combos (lightning strike, roundhouse kick, roundhouse kick, roundhouse kick, uppercut - his roundhouse sends you flying and you wrap around the other side of the screen so you can link up to three together then finish it with an uppercut)

Earthbound was not as popular as zoomers think it was. A cult classic, but not a "hit game" as Mother for Famicom was in Japan.

It cost 135 USD in 2020 money, for one thing.

[Anonymous No.6121729]

>>6121697
It wasn't popular at all. Most people outside of Japan only found out about it because of Smash Bros. Just like Fire Emblem.

Wrong retard. I was born in 93 but my family was poor so I had an NES for years as my only console.

Remember to grab something at complete fucking random once in a while. Every kid ends up owning at least a few games that they only got because it was a gift, it was 50 cents at a flea market, or it was the best looking thing in the clearance bin. Sure, it'll probably be shit, but it'll be YOUR shit.

Wouldn't all SNES games cost something like that after inflation?

Hell, I'll even "give" you a game to simulate the experience. Congratulations, you're the proud "owner" of the NES Muppets game. Now play the hell out of it, because it's one of the only three games you "own".

Don't buy into the "I had a worthwhile childhood and you didn't but can play now" nonsense.
There's no value in consuming entertainment and only is a vice.
If you really want to be able to talk to people about /vr/, just watch a <10 minutes youtube review and you'll have their opinion on it too, you'll get along better if you don't actually play the game.
So create higher values for yourself than just "reclaiming your childhood."

Nah, most were $45-$59, with $5-$10 off if there's a sale at KB Toys or Electronics Boutique. 32 meg carts (most JRPGs) went for $79.99 ($135 today) and were almost never on sale. The only exceptions were the DKC games, which Nintendo might have sold at cost.

FF Mystic Quest retailed for $30-something- the cheapest SNES game if I remember correctly.

I think you're picturing people abandoning their responsibilities and perception of reality to use media to fill a void in their lives. For all we know it OP just has some free time to enjoy some classic vidya and wants suggestions to better manage the time they have.

I'm not. I'll clarify that you don't need to be a deadbeat, but it could be just a flaw.
>just has some free time
What are you doing with your life if you have time that you don't have anything you could do in your time?
>Better manage the time
Do you really think that playing a video game for 30 hours is good time management?

[Anonymous No.6124013]

>>6123876
You're really tense. Pay someone to blow you before you post again. You're trying so hard to be negative it's fucking comical.
>What are you doing with your life if you have time that you don't have anything you could do in your time?
People will do what's important to them in their time. For you, I recommend ESL.
>Do you really think that playing a video game for 30 hours is good time management?
That's not what I said. To clarify, someone crowdsourcing ideas for games to play from /vr/ is likely trying to get the best experience for the amount of leisure time they have. This isn't rocket science, I can't believe that I even need to explain this concept to you.

It mostly just comes off super-negative when I type, although it probably is because of being actually tense.
