    supermario kart is the best game of all times...
    get your kid done with that before he gets to college, so he doesn't drop out to play it (like I did).

    Nope

    After maybe three or four levels, it started moving too quickly. The villains in that game reminded me a lot of the guys from Big Trouble in Little China and the characters could jump so high -- just a very cool game.

    Still have my snes, bought a new nes a few years ago. Cosign on all the classics mentioned. Super Mario Bros 3 has to be the best game on the nes. I always liked Kid Icarus too.

    And here, a very funny review of my LEAST favorite nes title:

    Dragons Lair
