Funny. I tried to play a few of them in my teens, but I was unable to actually get through a single one. I find that Nintendo lack a lot of character depth in their games. They're good for mindless platforming action of the early-mid 90s, but none of them seem to have much substance if you're a story-driven gamer. I don't deny that they seem really well made though for the type of game they are, and the audience they are designed for. =)
