1990? For fuck's sake. The Atari 2600 wasn't even released yet when I was born.
Selling half my NES/SNES/PS1 collection (ending Dec 1):

Birth Year: 1978
  1. Space Invaders was released in the arcades
  2. SNK was founded
  3. Nintendo also released their Color TV Game 15 console


Not a lot happening in 1978 then but I guess all of those things are pretty influential though

Same year as me. Some other cool games are Castlevania, Dragon Quest, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, and Bubble Bobble.

There's also Leather Goddesses of Phobos and the original Might and Magic, but I've never played those.

^ Castlevania was released in 86 on the FDS, but 87 on the NES. And according to Wikipedia, May of 1987. So that would actually mean this month is the 25th anniversary of the NES release!
