    "MGS V is constructed with prologue and main game, TPP. The game play demo I presented today is the opening of TPP which is tutorial". However this works out in practice, the full title of the game is Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and it will be coming to Xbox and PS3 at an unspecified date in the future."

    I have a 360 only and haven't played Metal Gear since the PS2 days. Is the HD collection current gen games or are those old gen games ported to the new gen? I am wondering if it is worth getting.

    That does look excellent.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    The only video game console that I own in a Nintendo 64, and the only video games I ever play is StarFox and James Bond 007. They are awesome!! :) Oh, and I'll get addicted to some phone app challenging puzzle game once in a rare while, and then I finish it, and uninstall.

    There is one arcade game that I used to play at the local arcade that I haven't been able to find since the early - mid 90s. It's called S.T.U.N. Runner. You straddle it, and you race through these tunnels..... Anyone know it? Seen it anywhere? I really want to track this thing down - I might actually buy it if I could find it. Maybe someone knows where it sits in the corner of some retro arcade or something, you never know!
    This is it:

    This is it:
    I remember it. Look under Google shopping. Looks like it is going for $1200

    :think:

    I need to think of a top five list of arcade cabinets that I would want. Of course Ms Pac Man (tabletop version) is #1, but what else ....

    That's cheap!! Maybe after Chicago. :think:
    I also liked that multiple driving game, where the cabinets were lined up next to one another, usually 4 in a row, and you raced each other. I was like Hard Drivin' kind of, but for 4 players. I loved that game! What was it called? It was a great way to get to know cute boys, too. :lol:
    Table top Ms Pac Man for sure.
    Street Fighter II was pretty good.

    Mine would be:

    1. S.T.U.N. Runner
    2. That multi-player driving game (name???)
    3. Ms Pacman (tabletop)
    4. Street Fighter II
    5. ???? I don't have a 5. I apparently only liked 4 arcade games ever.... Does the Mechanical Claw game count? :lol:
