My mom gave me this collection from my childhood.

Guy, I'd be totally happy to thank your mom for ypu by taking her out to dinner and treating her like a real lady.

Blackthorne.... before WoW...

Lost Vikings was Blizz, too. And, though not in this collection, the even lesser known Rock N Roll Racing.
ShillinTheVillain@reddit
I can still hear the 8 bit version of Paranoid. Rock N Roll Racing was great

No Final Fantasy III? No Ken Griffey Jr Baseball? Madden ‘95? Need to work on that collection!!

I've recently gotten a similarly sized collection back from my sister. We have surprisingly little overlap.
Vegas Steaks, Mortal Kombat, Zelda, Mario Kart and the first Donkey Kong Country
FittedSheets88@reddit (OP)
Vegas Steaks was my first casino game, I can't wait to see if it works.
spaceporter@reddit
I had an old DOS Vegas game, too. I can't remember what it was called.

Been playing Lost Vikings with my 6yr old. 💚

Civilization for SNES was my all time fav, I was putting miles on my machine well into my 20s playing it. I have a fair number of the titles there, but once a game of Civ got going for real, there was no competition.

My parents did the same thing except what they wrote was almost a foreign language

I’ll bite. What’s up with the sharpie?
S1ayer@reddit
So you can read the name of the game if it's upside down.
chikamakaleyley@reddit
i think there's less effort required by just turning my head slightly

She would always loan them out, this was her way to know it was our copy
jbenze@reddit
My friend’s mom did this to all his games and also one of mine that he borrowed. I was really pissed about it at the time because it never came all the way off. It still had his name in really faded sharpie when I sold it.
Zeke688@reddit
No one ever wanted to borrow Wario’s Woods. Must’ve been shitty.
vand3lay1ndustries@reddit
Shame, because there’s a collectors market for these now.
FittedSheets88@reddit (OP)
Oh I'd never dream of ditching them. If my kids end up liking these games, they'll get them. But these have been in my family most of my life so they're staying right here.
vand3lay1ndustries@reddit
This is how I feel about my Nintendo Power magazines.
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
91 iso takes it right off
Immorpher@reddit
Loose carts really haven't beaten inflation really. Personal touches, if anything, makes them more interesting.
vand3lay1ndustries@reddit
Ah, so you need the box.
Ashlynne42@reddit
Wario's Woods? A fellow person of culture, I see.
LeBigMac84@reddit
Literally never heard about that
fredlosthishead@reddit
Bubsy!
MRHOWERDCEO@reddit
POOOOP
skoz2008@reddit
Battle clash 😳😳😳 I used to kill it in that game
Desperate_Jicama219@reddit
I thought it was Asia writing until I turned my phone.
Longjumping-Dealer-8@reddit
Vegas stakes! Hell yes call your friend and let’s go to the futuristic casino where everyone want to rob you blind lol.
wafair@reddit
Do they still work? I tried playing nba jam a few years ago on my old system and it wasn’t working.
FittedSheets88@reddit (OP)
Blackthorne, Mario Kart, and Lost Vikings worked. Bubsy didn't work unfortunately. It's getting late and the kids have school tomorrow so testing is on hold for now.
poop-money@reddit
Lots of gems in there. I kept my collection and have added to it over the years. I still play through A Link to the Past and Super Metroid annually. Have a great time!
FittedSheets88@reddit (OP)
We're slowly going through the process of testing which ones work and which don't. Unfortunately Busby didn't work :(
poop-money@reddit
That's a shame. Despite what others say, I like Busby. You should be able to get a new copy for about $15.
matrix85@reddit
I grew up with the Lost Vikings. I still go to YouTube and check out the title music lol. That game had some bangers.
cigarandcreamsoda@reddit
You were really in a Where’s Waldo SNES phase there weren’t you?
FittedSheets88@reddit (OP)
Get your damn hands off my ~~Lets~~ Where's Waldo SNES

Bitter-Pace@reddit
I liked playing Vegas stakes as a kid. I guess that explains my gambling addiction.
FittedSheets88@reddit (OP)
I loved it as a kid but don't remember any of the rules.
Puzzleheaded_Race_90@reddit
Super Metroid is poisonous to other cartridges and will make them stop working, you should probably send it to me immediately 😆 seriously though, I wish I still had my childhood collection, that's insanely cool. You could share this with r/retrogaming
SlayerAlexxx@reddit
Sick. Classic and under rated gems. I like lost Vikings
Tyrannical-Botanical@reddit
Ghouls and Ghosts? Who did you piss off when you were little?
