Dude changed the world.

I’ll crank one out in his memory once I get to work!!!

SNES will always be the best IMO. Can’t convince me otherwise.

Christmas 91 was awesome. When me and my brother opened our "shared present" and it was a SNES we could've been on the moon.

I think it's time to create a subthread called OBITUARIES.

Too much death on the front page of CP. :shake:

Has to be. It was the console for the original Killer Instinct, the greatest fighting game ever made.

I played Super Mario World and Ken Griffey Jr baseball on a loop. RIP

If there room for a 5th head on Mt Rushmore for him?

I played Legend of Zelda thousands of times. My first real gaming experience.

Those sand things always got me!

I wish his family condolences and super condolences.

Dude made life better for millions.

RIP

It's really hard now for many of the younger generations to truly understand and appreciate how huge the NES and SNES truly were. I really believe that a lot of modern systems exist because of the popularity of the NES and SNES. One of my all time favorite games was Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Also loved Tecmo Bowl/Super Tecmo Bowl.

It wasn't pong, but it was ok

The Gameboy was pretty groundbreaking as well.

Did anyone else try shooting the dog in Duck Hunt after missing ducks and he laughs at you?

Anyone know off the top of their head what the most sold console of all time is? It sold more units than the NES and SNES combined.

Answer is

Watched that Neil Patrick Harris Christmas movie that revolves around the NES as a Christmas present in the late 80s, and it did make me want to play some NES games again. Pretty sure I still have one somewhere along with the SNES. Do have the two Classic mini consoles they released a few years ago too, will likely plug those in and play them sometime.

Yup. Probably would miss anyways with how utterly inaccurate that gun was.

**** that ****ing dog.

Ah. The PS2. Brilliant move to combo that as a DVD player/game console at the dawn of the DVD era.
