The success of puzzle game Dr. Mario proved two things: there was life after Tetris and that overmedication is the solution to any ailment. Truly a classic, but it makes you wonder where Mario got his PhD.

I also loved the backward compatibility. Combined with the original Game Boy, Nintendo sold over 118 million Game Boys worldwide!

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the Sega Dreamcast, a console that bombed so badly that it was discontinued roughly a year and a half after its release. But there were a handful of great games, and it was the first system to include internet (it was a 56k dial-up modem, but hey, that’s forward thinking!).

And that narrator’s voice… some of his sayings will never leave my head! Next time it’s approaching lunch or dinner hour, say “Warrior needs food!” and you’ll more than likely get some nostalgic laughter out of several people around you.
