What is a nice or interesting memory you keep with the SNES?

I played a lot of SNES back when I was a kid (I received my SNES when I was 4 years old as a Christmas present, now I’m on my 37s). But I had Super Battletank, a game where you play as a tank to get rid of enemies. The guns and bombs were so loud it scared the sh*t out of me and I fled from the room and cuddle in the sofa, shutting my ears.

Now I remember this with a laugh 😂.

    I was 16 when I realized that I actually really enjoy video games. I just hadn’t been that interested before. So I used my own money that I had saved, went by bus to the store and purchased myself a SNES. It was a lot of money for me but I was super happy. My favorite games were Zelda: A link to the past, Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country. Great games! Donkey Kong Country’s graphics were seen as amazing at the time. It was some kind of innovative 3D modelling.

      I played the hell out of DKC, trying to reach 101% without guides (those weren’t easily available back in the day), searching every single level and astonished when I found a secret.

      It was an amazing feeling and yeah, I had much more time back then.

        Ah yes, the secrets were fun. I remember trying to find them all with a friend but no idea how far we really got.
