What were your favourite video games from your youth?

I’m thinking of getting a retro game console with emulators for all the old video game systems.

What video games did you enjoy the most as a kid ?

Ideally the games would be kid friendly for my little nieces.

You can download emulators on Android and iOS; letting them play on phones/tablets (if you have them)

I’m a lover of violent games, but something for the little ones;

Mario Kart, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro come to mind. Great games for kids.

I used to like the sports games mostly, like NBA Live and Tecmobowl. I don’t know how much they are into sports though.

I’d have to say as a kid I most enjoyed Super Nintendo games such as, Super Mario World, Megaman X, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy 3(part 6), Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, King of the Monsters 2 and Street Fighter II Turbo. I may have forgotten some. At the time I’d go to the local video store and rent a video game. Crazy how those video rental stores have gone extinct.

These were in my younger years. As an older kid here are a few honorable mentions,

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
Goldeneye
Ogre Battle 64
Suikoden I & II
Metal Gear Solid
Lunar 1 & 2
Resident Evil 2

And one of my all time favorite video games

Final Fantasy Tactics.
