Gaming Nostalgia

Ever miss the good ol' days when computer games were so pure and simple?
When graphics were limited to an 8-bit 2d view?
When music and sound effects were computer bleeps?

This thread's purpose is to remember and appreciate the games that gave birth to what we enjoy today.

Let there be no 3d graphics and fancy effects to be in comparison to these games whose only essence was pure gameplay.

Super Mario Bros.
Platform: NES



1st off, who could ever forget the hero who saves the princess from a fierce dragon/turtle-like thing who happens to be a little italian plumber? I'm sure any gamer like myself would remember the countless times they've fallen into a bottomless pit or get hit by bullets with mean faces^^

So what do you remember about Mario?
