'90-'93 - I was born in that first year. I don't think I was actually gaming yet, but my older brother did have a Nintendo and Super Nintendo. Or a Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Or a NES and a SNES, or an NES and an SNES, depending on if you prefer your 'e's to be long or short.

'94 to '96 - Actually played my older brother's NES and SNES, mostly Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, Double Dribble, 10 Yard Fight (NES), Super Mario World, Street Fighter II: Turbo, and countless SNES rentals; they'd always let you rent an SNES with Star Fox and F-Zero in hotel rooms for some reason. They also let you rent Virtual Boys from Blockbuster, and though we never wound up buying one, I actually liked it at the time.

Neighbors had a Genesis, and I always felt a ping of jealousy playing Sonic 2 at store kiosks. A nearby VHS and videogame store was still in business. 

Also, as a kid I thought Earthbound was awful and made me cry (not a JRPG fan, especially then, and had somehow been hyped for it by TV ads, which I thought were for N64; maybe there were ads for the unreleased Mother 3, and I wanted to play its prequel?), avoided Super Metroid even though its cover looked cool, cause dragons = JRPGs in my head at the time, and I didn't like them, and LOVED Rise of the Robots for its graphics. My older brother and I found it in a bargain bin much later, and thought it was broken, not realizing it always had been.

'97 to '99- My own first system to myself was N64 in Christmas of '97, and I legitimately thought Star Fox 64 had come out as the system seller in place of Mario cause I was so much more hyped for it by ads, one of them really selling the Rumble Pak. My brother would adopt Playstation instead, creating a familial fanboy rift; I remember Driver and Metal Gear Solid the most of what he played, and I really liked playing Tekken kiosks at local stores and with friends, but in my head at the time, due to what I saw advertised the most, I thought it was between PaRappa the Rapper and Star Fox 64, and Star Fox 64 won handily for me.Tenchu was also a cool series I remember my brother and I playing.

  One of my friends was really into Jet Force Gemini and everyone loved the first Smash Bros.

And of course, in '99, I was wowed by Sonic Adventure when my neighbors had it.

I know I just said a lot of crap, but I love the 90s, it was my childhood, so I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm listening to an Everclear Greatest Hits CD I traded in for at Best Buy yesterday, so my nostalgia juices are flowing, I guess. lol

As much as I love the 80's, my favorite game console is in fact, the SNES.

The 90's brings back fond memories for me. A huge decade in my life and a time for growth. Music,movies,and gaming was out of this world. I had so much fun. Found myself in Portland,Oregon at the height of grunge. So this series will be very interesting to me.

90-93: I spent a lot more time playing computer games than console games. My brother would find some good deals on certain titles and because of him, I had access to Wolfenstein 3-D, Doom, Jack Nicklaus Golf, Joe Montana Football, X-Wing, Where In Europe is Carmen Santiago and most importantly: Star Trek 25th Annivesary. This is the best Star Trek game to me and while I wasn't terribly good at it (I usually got destroyed by the Romulans in the third episode), it was a joy to play through every time.

Also, Street Fighter II for the SNES meant all in the world to me. Rarely did I get to go to arcades so getting this for my birthday was fantastic. I recall initially being frustrated at not pulling off any of the special moves until my brother showed me how to correctly make the motions with the directional pad (eh, I was a noob at fighting games in general). I devoured any EGM issue that featured game coverage and finished the game with every character on every difficulty. These days I'm so rusty that I forgot most of the character moves.
