Going back to Retro!

Hey guys, your Irish blogger is here again.

Yesterday, I was thinking of going back to the good old days playing the NES, SNES and Mega-Drive/Genesis games on their actual systems and not the ROMs because having said game makes you somewhat feel special in a certain way.

I used to have a NES and Mega-Drive but unfortunately, they died on me and went to the gaming heaven in the sky.  I remember fondly playing games like Bubble Bobble, Castlevania, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Vectorman on these two systems and I think it is time for me to experience that again without having to resort to ways that are just bad.

So, yours truly is going to get a NES and a Mega-Drive again sometime during the year when I have the cash because I barely have any at the moment and just want to have those memories again I had when I was a child.  Also, want to get a Sega Master System II (one with Alex Kidd in Miracle World in it), as I used to have it also but gave it to my cousin, who unfortunately is no longer with us.

So, I am just wondering what games do you guys recommend I should get for the NES, Mega-Drive/Genesis, SNES and Master System.  I have some in mind already and two of them were never released here (but thanks to a little converter, I can play them).  Retro games are really great for gamers like myself who just want to relive those memories they had when they were children and you will have a big smile on your face when you get the chance to play them the way they are meant to be played.

Anyway, before I go, here are some of the games I would like to get for these old consoles and add on any that you recommend:

Donkey Kong Country 1 and 3, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Bubble Bobble, Castlevania 1, 2(Simon's Quest I think) and 3, Megaman 1 and 2 (and the others if they were released here).

River City Ransom (I believe this will be hard to get for me), Sonic The Hedgehog 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, Vectorman, Sonic The Hedgehog 1 and 2 (SMS versions), Castle of Illusion (SMD & SMS), Land of Illusion.

Super Bomberman 2 & 3, Castlevania: A New Generation (Bloodlines in US), Zelda and Zelda 2: Adventures of Link (although I have these already on the Zelda Collector's edition for the Gamecube), Rainbow Island Adventure, Super Probotector (Contra III), Legend of the Mystical Ninja

There is more I would like to play anyway but there are some of the games I would really like to play on their original consoles. So let me know what you guys think and recommend some for me please.  Until then, Darrogamer06 signing out telling you to keep on gaming and ROCK ON!!!
