Do you remember your first Nintendo game? What was your favorite?

I remember growing up in the era of Nintendo. It was an amazing time. I was a young kid with the world ahead of me. Up until when Nintendo launched, we pretty much had Atari and that was just nothing spectacular. Pong was simply not a game that a young kid would want to sit and play for hours. Now when Nintendo launched Super Mario, that was a game changer (literally).

I would invite my friends over for the night and we would stay up until early morning trying to save the princess. Then Zelda came out and we had our first taste of an RPG. I loved Zelda and many other titles that launched with the original system. Here is a list of some of my favorites:

Super Mario 3 - Remember the raccoon hats and whistles?
Contra - Remember the button mashing code to extra extra lives (up, down, up, down, left, right, etc.)...
Double Dragon - You and your best friend kicking ass on the same screen at the same time!
Zelda - Bombing walls :)
Life Force - Another game where you and a friend could kick ass together, but this time as planes!
Final Fantasy - Where the entire franchise started and my first true RPG.
