I loved some Startropics. I got it for my 13th birthday, right before Spring Break. I spent the entire week playing through Startropics and eating these little cookie things. It was still really warm, so I had all the windows open and my shorts on; it was very much like my own little tropical vacation, with the NES' GREAT synth reggae playing.
Remember the part where the pig shows you his one-pixel butthole? I lol'd. And the part where you dipped the letter in water to see the secret message?
Damn...now I wanna go play it again-cola.
Though I was never a fan of the sequel The whole 'uncontrolled jumping' thing made it too difficult for me to thoroughly enjoy on the same level as the first one.
