NES!
While arguing over the 16-bit consoles was fun, the NES the only time we all played the same games and there was a conscious effort to market towards kids through Nintendo Power.
Mario and Zelda were mind blowing to my 5 year old mind!

Ya the SMS could have been a way better system if it wasn't being crushed by Nintendo grabbing all the 3rd party support. Glad I got to discover some great SMS games on this playthrough though 👍
RIP SMS Monopoly I guess 🤷🏻♂️

Had no idea what this game was about but knew about the TTRPG so checked it out. Rented it and went out and bought it as soon as I could save up the money for it. Just a fantastic cyberpunk RPG at a time when the genre was still flying under the radar.
