Ever since I first saw the show, I've been a massive fan of Starscream. I still have every incarnation of his toy in storage, even the shitty F-22 Raptor movie version. The only part of my once massive Transformers collection I didn't give away (to children).
My favorite happens to be the Masterpiece King Starscream.

Model aircraft, since I was eight, photography, F1 racing, and I am a great Snoopy fan.

I don't have an answer for this thread. I grew up poor. We only got toys for Christmas, and usually not the popular thing. I didn't even play video games until I was a sophomore in college, unless you count the few we had on our C64 we got for free 5 years after it was released. Parents didn't let me watch cartoons, so I mostly know about things like Thundercats and Transformers from sleepovers and Toonami reruns. Not whining, just don't have anything particular I loved. Except books. They were good escapes, and they were free from the library.
Ranma ½. It was a lot of fun growing up in a primarily Asian area
Also, hey Gusto. I put down something Japanese. Bet you didn't see that one coming.
I will say that for some reason Starscream had the better toys than MegatronEver since I first saw the show, I've been a massive fan of Starscream.

^ Look at that crap.
But Megatron was definitely my favorite, alongside Soundwave in the series.
I was a bit older when that came out, so it doesn't really strike me "child nostalgia" as it does "amazing rpg" nostalgia.
I replay it every year or so since I was 7 or 8.

That's because Megatron turned into a gun. How stupid is that? Plus, the inexplicable shrinking thing was just as bad as Optimus Prime's trailer.
It was weird, mostly because Hasbro took Megatron from an entirely different toy line than the other Transformers.

I still get the traveling song in my head
You traveled by surfing and this was the song that played. You also had to pick up mushrooms while surfing that in now way affected the game as far as I could tell. hehe god that was a shit game.

Does anybody remember what a freshly opened NES cartridge smelled like, right out of the box? Oh dear god, it was the smell of absolute rapture. Perhaps it was mere classical conditioning, but for me, that was the smell of anticipation, eagerness, hope, joy, bliss and achievement all rolled into one.
I'd forgotten about it for a long long time.. then out of the blue I caught a random whiff of it a few years ago (when I was nowhere near anything videogame related, oddly enough), and it nearly brought me to tears. I've been searching on and off for what makes that smell ever since, with no success. I'm afraid to go down to the local game store because I'm sure they would throw me out if I started sticking my head in the piles of NES cartridges snorting like an asthmatic rhinoceros.

I only got new cartridges one time, when I was 5. So I dont remember what it smells like
Speaking of childhood anime:
That, with FFT would probably be my most played strat games of all time.
Ogre Battle! I played it on the SNES (rental) and then bought the Playstation version. Had a game like 65 hours or so in - I think like the 11th level - saved on one of those multi-cards, and the battery on the damn thing died. I'd even gotten a unit of 3 werewolves and a vampire with a wizard for night fighting.
Anyone else bother getting Cloud and the other bonus characters in FFT?

Yeah. I always felt Cloud was underpowered in FFT, especially compared to other characters in the game. The same goes for Reis, though she had her uses.
Those two would be the "other characters" I mentioned above.
