I missed this. :-[
I got my SNES in 92. I was already enjoying the Genesis, and maybe the Turbo Grafx 16. Not sure at what point I got the TG16. But the SNES brought Super Mario World, Super R-Type, and Gradius III, my first games. There is this certain flavor or atmosphere to Nintendo games back then, be it NES or SNES. Hard to put into words. With the Genesis it was attitude and style.
Mine has a yellowed top part to the console and is still pulled and played. I am mostly using the FC16 Go for SNES gaming these days. There are a lot of old memories fighting the Bacterion and BYDO Empires. I have saved the Galaxy so many times. And I am wanted in both of those rotten alien territories!
That time period is a moment in video game history that will never come again.
