Mike Tyson: Punchout! on the NES. I played many games as a kid and some of my best memories were playing this one. Of course like most who played this once you mastered the "fastest" way to beat each character it lost a lot of its appeal. But the thing was back then you had to know someone who had bought the "cheat books" or had a subscription of some kind to figure it out. The internet ruined some games in that aspect. Played this just the other day on my old NES and managed to make it to Sandman without being knocked down. I don't have the skills I used to in order to finish it though :/

That brings back a lot of good memories. I actually managed to beat Mr.Dream (the censored version here in England) but it took months of honing my dodging skills. I didn't even know about the special power you could do until several years later when I was just randomly playing and just messing about. Game genie was big back then though, trying and failing to find new codes was fun.

@Cass277: SMW is a timeless classic. I can still play it today and not get bored of it. I managed to finish it in one sitting one day, just got fed up of making it to Choco Island and giving up.
