    For Me, I grew up with the Nintendo 64.
    I'll never forget Goldeneye, Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask & Pokemon Blue Version for Gameboy Color.

    Yeah, I hung out with a friend a lot and we played his N64. Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough were awesome. :D

    I had Blue and Yellow for my Gameboy Color

    There is a video game thread, although I havent seen it in awhile.

    As far as the classics: Tecmo Super Bowl, ToeJam & Earl, Battletoads, and Ice Hockey (NES) all are timeless in replayability, fun, and challenge.

    Intellivision was my first system...

    Football was the best...

    But those plastic key pad guides were annoying...

    it's "the video game thread". I'd post a link if I knew how to.

    It's never a bad thing to have several threads.

    Agreed on the battery too... Nothing was worse than seeing half the menu options blanked out, which meant there were no user made teams that exist.
    I have an emulator on my smartphone. I built a great squad. There are no battery issues and you can even save in-game.

    I play a lot of Tecmo seasons. It is tough. I am usually the crappiest teams on there and I havent won the Super Bowl yet.

    My friend had one. Remember playing Bump-in-Jump, Happy Trails, Burger Time and Lock-in-Chase. I agree that they had the worst controllers ever, even worse then the Atari 7800.

    Yes. There are numerous NES and Sega Emulators. It took a few tries, but I got one for like $2 that works great. The touchscreen becomes the controller, you see a faded A and B buttons and the directional pad.

    You just drag the Roms into your phone from a CPU and you are all set. I also found an app that gets the ROMS for you, but I have trouble keeping them in the file my Emulator looks at for games.

    Some games are tough to play, that require precision and fast moving coordination. Baseball Stars, Tecmo, Toejam & Earl, Paperboy work great.

    holy shit! I hadn't thought of bump n jump in YEARS! I had that game....my neighbours had Burger Time, loved that one. Mine came with Astrosmash and Poker/Blackjack (great for the kids!)...There were some really dumb games...Frog Bog comes to mind. I had Snafu too.....The hockey was awesome. But ya, the baseball, having to select players on the keypad thing, it never worked well....
    I think my parents paid like $300 for that thing in the early 80's...crazy. Remember going downstairs and it was there, hooked up and ready to play on christmas morning, then having to bitch at my dad for a turn to play it :lol:

    Yep...Didn't you press the reset and power button at the same time for the saveable games? Crazy story regarding that...

    Several years after Legend of Zelda for NES came out I decided that I never officially beat it all the way through..I'd turned Ganon to red dust, but some older cousins had done alot of the quest. NES games were fucking hard and I finally made it through the final dungeon and had a couple potions ready to rock, right...Well, a friend decided to try his hand at some real Robin Hood shit with a nerf bow and arrow. He let one fly and I'll be damned if it didn't directly blast the power button, while I was in the room sluggin it out with Ganon. I waited awhile to avoid anything that could be construed as rapidly turning the game on and off, turned the game on and it was freakin completely wiped. I still haven't beat it or let him forget about it.

    My first system was an Atari, (Can't remember the exact models) then of course came NES, GameBoy, GameGear (I had everything for that, TV Tuner,tons of games etc all from Japan), SNES and then came CD based games/systems.

    In 1993/94 I picked up a Panasonic 3DO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panasonic_3DO really was a top system, a powerful machine that set the stage for PlayStation.

    PS2 was my next console and now I'm running the PS3. Both of which have broken down and were/have been replaced/repaired. (But all my systems from the 80's and 90's remain working with no tech issues)

    That is a tough beat.

    My biggest screw-up was in Oblivion when I told a key character, Jauffre, to wait somewhere about 16 hours into the game. 200 hours later, after beating all the sidequests, I go to solve the main quest and find out he is required to get past a check-point ... and I can't remember where I told him to wait! I probably spent 20 hours searching every town, basement, attic, and cave and could not find him. Ended up starting a new game and plowing through the main quest.
