We got an NES for Christmas 1989 when I was 6. By then it came with Mario Bros. Duck Hunt and Track Meet packed in. My neighbors Mom would buy tons of games at flea markets in rural Wisconsin and Minnesota we had endless amounts of NES games to play. Everything from Battle Toads to Legend of Zelda I & II, Mario Brothers 2 & 3 to Rambo, Punch Out, Paper Boy, Robocop even Black Bass! I'm now 31 with a 3DS, Wii U and an Xbox One, I honestly don't think I'll ever stop playing video games. The Millennial Generation will probably play games until the day we die.

My first home computer was a Commodore VIC-20. So Asteroids and Centipede were pretty much my go-to games.
I was the "airplane nut" kid. While everyone else was playing Super Mario and Zelda, I was playing flight sims and other aircraft themed games like 50 Mission Crush, Hellcat Ace, F-15 Strike Eagle etc.

Mutant League Football and Aladdin for Sega Genesis.
I'd love a well made modern version of Mutant League Football. ( I don't like Blood Bowl)

We had an old Atari for about a year before the NES came out. I played the shit out of Bezerk. After we got the NES, I played Super Mario Bros. 1 & 2, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Contra, and Ducktales more than probably any other games.

Hey man, as someone who played it back then, can you tell me if people realized Super Mario Bros. 2 was weird? I remember older kids not seeming to realize how different it was than the other ones. I was always like "Uh, didn't anyone notice the graphics got way better and then worse for Super Mario Bros. 3"?

I think everyone realized that SMB2 was a different animal. Personally, I think it was a better game than SMB1. A lot of people were turned off by how different it was. It was something new and innovative though, so of course people were going to have reservations.
The fact that it had four different playable characters with actually different play styles was enough to set it apart in that generation of games.
