Let's talk games bundled with consoles.
Did you get any cool ones as a kid?
Starting with a classic.

Can we include home computers? I got Lemmings with the Amiga and that was awesome.

[Anonymous No.8064410]

Sure, post pics of the box bundle if you can find it. I love the way bundle boxes used to look back in the day.

I believe my family got us the SMW bundle for christmas but other than that the only pack in title I've ever had was wii sports.

There were so many rumors as a kid where people would say that there was a bundle with Zelda ...Metroid ..starfox, etc. Pretty much that it could be any random game in the box with the console

-NES with SMB
-Genesis with Sonic1
-Gameboy w/ tetris

[Anonymous No.8064716]

GB bundled with Tetris
SNES bundled with SMW
N64 2 controller bundle
Costco GC bundle with StarFox Adventures
Costco PS2 bundle with ATV Off-road Fury 2/Jak and Daxter.

Costco was the GOAT cause they would just bundle their own shit in plastic.

I would drool over these in magazines and such, or in the Toys R' Us gaming aisle. There are more, but couldn't find a good collage of them.

However, this was always my favorite. Seeing it Xmas 89 was awesome.

Cool!

This is the bundle I got back in the day. Cartoon Classics. One of the better bundles, thankfully.

Lemmings was an absolute gem. Counless hours of fun across a good age range. Was a good version of the game too for visuals and sound.

Deluxe Paint III was (and the range still is even now) my favourite and fondest memories in art and animation. I'd love to see something like it, simple and cut down without bloat, made again so as to introduce newbies and kids to art and animation. It just sat beautifully between simple as pen and pencil and the potential that computers can give you. You could do some very good (for the day) pixel art and animations with it.

Captain Planet - was okay platformer. Not the best but okay. Played it a lot because that's what came with it. Looked nice for the time though.

Bart vs the Space Mutants - not a great platformer on any system but was okayish. Amusing because the Simpsons back then were funny and interesting and this thing had actual animation and sound that was kind of like the TV! MULTIMEDIA WOO

Sometimes the software was bundled in plain white boxes and just black text across them, you still got the manuals though. Depends on where you were in the world and when you bought it. What was nice though was you could recreate any of the art and animations you saw in the games with DPIII bundled if you were good enough.

This is what you got inside (if you got the printed cover boxes and not the white boxes some got).

I got the two best bundled launch games of all time, Combat (Atari VCS) and Super Mario World

Tank Pong is the greatest multiplayer game of all time

The TurboDuo came in a bundle that had Ys books 1&2, Gate of Thunder, Bonk 1&2, Bomberman, and Ninja Spirit. It even included 10 coupons for $5USD off any TurboGrafx games and a couple issues of TurboForce. That was an incredible bundle of some of the top games for the system, but not many were interested at the time. I got it plus a few other great titles and additional systems in a bundle when I finally had the funds.

Genesis with Streets of Rage 2

I somehow had 3 copies of Sonic 1's NOT FOR RESALE cart despite only ever having one console. I suspect my brother stole them from somewhere.

There's a photo in my parents house of my older brothers with a Zelda SNES box on xmas day. Was great having two older brother gamers, had access to Atari, NES, Gameboy, SMS, Mega Drive and SNES. Remember being 5 years old playing the first Sonic and having having to wait for my bro to get home from school to beat the last 2 levels lel

[Anonymous No.8067316]

>>8064392
Combat was bundled with my 2600. I liked it well enough.
Super Mario Bros came with my NES. Really damn nice.
Altered Beast was a pack-in with my Genesis. I know people hate on the game, but I like it well enough.
Tetris was included with my Gameboy. Eh, its okay.
Super Mario World was bundled with my SNES. Another classic.
I got the Turbografx-16 later and it came with Keith Courage in Alpha Zones (pretty good) and two other games as a desperation move by NEC. Power Golf (not so good), and Samurai Ghost (decent).

[Anonymous No.8067324]

For me, it's the Super Set.

[Anonymous No.8067346]

I still have a hard time accepting that this pack-in I got as a teenager is retro but goddamn I still love JSRF. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk soon

[Anonymous No.8067354]

Stunt Race FX is often mocked for running at very low fps, but fuck it, gameplay is still fun (made with that low fps in mind) and playing with the Bike was the best ever.
Also Carlos Sainz Sr. > Carlos Sainz Jr.

The TurboDuo bundle is a great suite of games, I recommend it to any emuchads looking to get into the TG16.
The turbochip game could vary, I've heard of Dungeon Explorer or Final Lap Twin being included.

[Anonymous No.8067626]

This bad boy. Silver gamecube with Wind Waker. Mine also came with the Zelda promotional disc with the NES games + OOT and MM. No idea if my parents just somehow acquired that for me on Christmas or if they bundled it with the console set in the UK for a brief period. Either way, this + Double Dash made for the best Christmas ever.

I was late getting a SNES as a kid. I got pic related, a new-style SNES bundled with Yoshi's Island, for Christmas after the N64 was already out. Wish I still had it

[Anonymous No.8069704]

>>8064392
NES with Mario/Duck Hunt
SNES with Mario World
Genesis with Altered Beast
Saturn with VF2, Daytona, and Virtua Cop
Playstation with some demo disc, I remember it had Die Hard Trilogy, Warhawk, and Assault Rigs on it. I played the ever loving shit out of the DHT demo

I think that's all the systems I got with Pack-Ins.

[Anonymous No.8070102]

>>8068110
I hate myself for not getting this. I have all the games complete in box, but this will undoubtedly elude me forever, cause it has the unfortunate double combo of being a bad selling console that zoomies are obsessed with now for whatever reasons and being the only Mother edition game system. I had a chance to buy it back when all the Mother 3 merch was coming out but my stupid ass couldnt justify importing it since I already had the Famicom edition Micro released stateside and had the retarded mindset back then of "why would I ever need multiples of the same system?" Though I do seem to recall and still do a bit now, that I dont particularity care about the actual design all that much. If it had Mr. Saturn on it or a bunch of the games sprites, that may have gotten me to buy it back then.

I got that SNES bundle that included two controllers, Mario World and a mail-away voucher to get Super Mario All-Stars sent to you.

[Anonymous No.8070113]

>>8064497
Technically, this is probably true somewhere. While maybe not "official", stores like Costco sold system bundles they essentially put together themselves inside a giant blister pack type casing.

I remember they had a bundle of a red GameBoy Color with Pokemon Red and the official players guide and another that was a black N64, Pokemon Stadium and one of those clear purple controllers (completely unrelated to the actual Stadium edition N64 bundle officially released) I seem to remember PS1 bundles as well they did.

[Anonymous No.8070119]

>>8070113
Yeah, Sam’s Club did the same thing with their own GameCube and GBA bundles.

[Anonymous No.8070124]

>>8067346
i got the later bundle with the S controller for the holiday season that had one of the weirdest to this day double-packs on the same disc, Tetris Worlds and Starwars Attack of the Clones.

[Anonymous No.8070126]

Still have mine but sadly the box was lost years ago.

[Anonymous No.8070127]

>>8069647
was this all stars and world on separate carts or the bundle that had them all on the same cart with the revised version of World?

[Anonymous No.8070139]

I still have the back packing to it somewhere and will post the image if I find it and someone doesnt do it before me, but the NeoGeoPocket Color when its stock was being liquidated in the 2000s, had these bundles you could get in places like EB Games for I think about 99$ that had the system plus 6 games included (sometimes one game would be swapped for another) and also sold an additional blister pack of 4 extra games. Funny thing is I dont think the packaging itself even claimed the actual name of the system and I think made up some shit like you would see on some cheap all in one portal game machine like "Super Color Arcade".

[Anonymous No.8070142]

>>8070139
Yep I got one of those too. Must’ve been around 2003 or so.

The Xbox had some based pack-ins

Sega GT 2002 + Jet Set Radio Future
Amped + Halo
Tetrid Worlds + Attack of the Clones

Granted, I'd be pissed if I got your bundle, it's clearly the weakest out of the three I remember.

The bundle that created NofE.

For me, it was the Sega CD:
Sewer Shark (great for cheesy factor)
Sonic CD
Ecco the Dolphin
Sega 5-in-1 Classics

Also, Sega Saturn:
Virtua Fighter 2
Daytona USA
Virtua Cop
Virtua Fighter Remix as a mail-in.

SNES Mario Set:
Super Mario Allstars + Super Mario World.

I got this piece of garbage with my Game Boy Pocket, clearance bundle from Walmart

[Anonymous No.8075314]

>>8064392
Yeah, the one you posted. My dad came back from a brief holiday once and he bought me that bundle as a present along with Robocop VS The Terminator. I loved both movies and he knew that so bringing that game was extra cool. It wasn't my birthday or anything and I hadn't even asked for a SNES, ever. I wasn't expecting it at all, I was maybe 7 years old. I didn't even know the RVTT game existed and I ended up loving it. It was during summer break, too, so I had nothing to do but chill and play that shit all day. SMW was also one of my childhood defining games, it was magical.

My sister went with him and she also brought me back a gift: the TMNT3 movie. People hate that shit but it's a fun enough movie for children. Of course my dad paid for both but it was made clear that the movie came from my sister lol.

This is definitely the most memorable present I ever got in my life.

>>8064719
Yeah my parents bought me the action set, too.

>>8064726
We visited Europe in 94 and I was a hyperactive little bastard so my parents bought me a Gameboy to calm me the fuck down and make me sit quietly.

Idk what was in the bundle exactly, Tetris was definitely there, but I think it also had Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening because at the time I didn't know anything about the game (and it ended up being one of my favourites). I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. The bundle may have also had Wario Land but I'm not sure, it's possible I bought that separately.

It's not THAT much of a stretch. Mode 7 was pretty commonly used to make crude 3D effects even in 2D games, and Pilotwings and F-Zero are two early games that showed entire 3D worlds (crude and empty though those worlds were).
