What's the first (retro) game that /vr/ remembers actively

Majora's Mask

ocarina of time

I didn't pay attention much to game magazines and stuff until after the /vr/ era. I just played what I saw in the video store.

Donkey Kong Country and Sonic 3

Mortal Kombat 3. It was hyped for months in my Videogames magazine. Then I played it, absolutely hated it. It was a shame because I loved 2.

Similar to me, only my example was MK4.
I should've known better, but I was all of 11 or so.

I was extremely hyped for Chrono Trigger, reading the magazine articles about the "Dream Team" and whatnot.

Heck yeah.

And that reminds me, the Hoopa distribution just started today.

I had a subscription to Nintendo Power so probably pretty much every SNES game.
I don't remember specifically because all that was eclipsed a thousandfold by the hype machine for Mario 64.

Doom is the first that comes to mind. I read the review and later saw it running at some trade show (it was cycling through its demos). I played it years later on the PS1, as I didn't get a proper (IBM-compatible) PC until 1997.

Donkey Kong Country 2.

For me it wasn't a game but it was the SNES.

The thing I've ever been the most hyped for though was Starcraft: Broodwar. Man what a game.

The Megadrive version of SF2

Ocarina of Time. I remember posting about it for over a year on some ancient dialup message board on AOL before it finally came out
