I played Shining Force on the Genesis. It was a rental, and for what I paid in late fees, I probably could have bought the game. I have the GBA port, and I also have it on Sonic's UGC.

It's a cool game. I got stuck on one part the first time I played it. I want to play it again for sure. 

Kirby's Adventure is one of the best NES games you'll play.  It's amazing (probably because it was one of the last NES games).  I hope you get to play Kirby Super Star when you get to games from 1996.

I rented that Daffy Duck game on SNES a long time ago.  It's not too bad.  Definitely a fun rental anyway.

I really enjoyed Secret of Mana.  That was back in my Square fanboy days.  That game had really neat pastel graphics and a unique musical score.  It was a bit buggy (you could even 'break' the game), and you could tell it was really meant to be designed for the SNES CD add-on that got cancelled.  But I really liked it anyway for some reason.

I never had a Genesis, but if I did at that age, I would've been all into Phantasy Star 4.  I played it a long time later and thought I would really like it when I was at that age where FF4 and FF6 were my favorite games.  Speaking of which, when you get to 1994, I hope you give FF6 a chance, too.

I've been trying to get to Kirby Adventure all week, but I keep having to finish more of this '93 research. I just did books and now I've got to do film. Then I can start playing. Maybe tomorrow night for sure.

I just heard Axe of the Blood God (Kat Bailey at USGamer.com) podcast talk about FF5 and 6. There's this FF5 Four Job Fiesta web site they talked about and then talked about FF6 too. Those are going to be high on my list for the years they came out.

If it's anything like the NES version, they made Darkwing translate to video games by making him Mega Man with a zip line and climbing ability.

Sounds cool. 

It's also a really hard platformer though. Just a heads up.

Awe, I just look at the animation. Like books, I don't actually read them, just look at the illustrations. Har har.

Phantasy Star IV is a great game, and my respect for it is deep.  Never won it, but I've played through the first half a couple times.  Have you beat it?

Of course not. It's a rare game that I actually finish, especially RPGs. They're just too darn long.  I want to play it again though. I got farther in that one than any of the previous Phantasy Star games, that's for sure.

Wow I didn't know Magic started in '93. I do remember that the cards were hard to find around here. I thought about buying a couple of packs just to add to my collection of trading cards. I remember playing Doom on my friend's computer and didn't really have my own copy until college (it was on a random disc with like a free trial of AOL.)

I went to look at getting a starter pack today and was totally confused with all the variations you can get. I wanted to get a two pack set but I'm not sure I can get my friend Mark to play it with me and solitaire is pretty boring. I think I'll just play against the computer on Xbox.

I don't know how I got a copy of Doom on PC. I don't remember even buying any game until around '95 when Playstation came out. I definitely bought Doom on Playstation though.

I played Kirby's Adventure last for the first time since it came out on the NES. Still holds up. It's really the game that Kirby franchise into its own. And so pretty for an NES game!

I'd love to play the two Shadowrun games from back then (the SNES and Genesis games are completely different...which I'm sure you already knew) but yeah, they're both pretty expensive on the secondhand market  I picked up Shadowrun Returns a couple months ago but still haven't started that yet, so that would come first at least.

Dang it, I still need to play Doom.

Ooo! I forgot about the Shadownrun on Genesis. I'll have to add that to my list too.

Man, I gotta play Brutal Doom sometime. It was a PC mod that increased the gore in the game and added a few new abilities.
