What is a nice or interesting memory you keep with the SNES?

I played a lot of SNES back when I was a kid (I received my SNES when I was 4 years old as a Christmas present, now I’m on my 37s). But I had Super Battletank, a game where you play as a tank to get rid of enemies. The guns and bombs were so loud it scared the sh*t out of me and I fled from the room and cuddle in the sofa, shutting my ears.

Now I remember this with a laugh 😂.

    Street fighter, and dad getting in on it. He just wanted to hangout with me and my siblings. As an adult i realize he didnt mind losing like we did. He would only pick Ken though which is just so odd.

      Oh I did that too with my dad, though my dad was not very gamer. Ken, alongside Ryu is one of the easier Shoto characters to play

        O my dad was next to no gamer. He had always liked home computers, and to get me interested we played some games on actual floppy disks, includding that old ass mario where dk is throwing barrels, and some old multiple choice rpg. Little kid me did not know what a rpg was, and my dad still doesnt, but we played one. It was dope, really set me up as a lifelong gamer.

        But snes was a few years later, and he just wanted to get involved. He did not ever pick other characters to know ken was easier, or even that ryu was the exact same although we did tell him that.

        I suspect since me and my little bro where white kids who took karate he felt like ken was a good fit. Either wayvgood times.

          Ken was my favorite too. Just a karate guy with a cool haircut against all those hulking brutes.
