Was never big on games until the 16-bit era. I played a lot before then, but it wasn't a passion or anything; they were toys.
But I'm still glad I was a Genesis kid rather than an SNES kid. SNES was great, of course, but even trying to look at it objectively now, the Genesis had a ton more games that I'd have an interest in. I'm glad as hell for having played Rocket Knight Adventures back then, glad as hell for having played Wonder Boy in Monster World, glad as hell for having played Shinobi III, and glad as hell for having played Sonic (1, 2, & Knuckles). I'd list more, but there's a limit to how many times I can say "glad as hell" in a single post.
