2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

You've named some classics there!

  • chuchu rocket - I first played this when it came out on the GBA as a launch title. It was the first Sega game released for a Nintendo console, ever, after they discontinued the Dreamcast. Aside from being a fantastically addictive bastard of a game, it was also a surreal experience seeing sega on a Nintendo console. Seems normal now, but back then it was fucking weird.

  • Mario Paint - had this on the SNES with the mouse! Great memories. Been playing it again recently on my MiSTer FPGA along with a modern optical mouse!

  • Super Tennis is indeed awesome and the 3D effects were mental back then. Still great fun

  • Cel Damage I got as a rental along quite a few times as our blockbuster had a three for price of two deal back then. I never bought it but it was great for occasional parties and shit

Brain Age I never got along with, not interested in fishing, and not played the football game (is that really football, as the ball being kicked, or American hand-egg? No idea, but I'll give it a go!)

I love hearing that others have memories of these games! I actually kind of forgot how great the 3D effects are in super tennis. I need to go back and play it again, it's been many years.

Super Play Action Football is indeed football of the american variety. I have no idea if it will appeal to someone who isn't a fan of the sport but it's a fun approximation and IMO it stood out from the very crowded pack of that era.
