My first games that I have played along with Woflenstein 3D, Duke Nukem 3D and Doom are also Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Adventures on my grandparents' NES and Pokémons on Gameboy, because they have really feeling of an adventure, of course many games today have feeling of an adventure but how may does have interesting unique world to explore.

Touching video and I made donation for them.
