I love topspin 4 on ps3. Realistic and a lot of network players, I also love tecmo bowl forever. And I swear mercenaries on ps2 was my favorite game of all time. Also Blades of ice madden 92 when you could hit players after the whistle and bring out the ambulance.

Bought this bad boy at an auction a few years ago...



When I'm feeling down, I pop in my 80's Power Ballads cassette, crank it up to 11, and start climbing my way to the top.

Addams Family Pinball.

I have a special corner in my garage reserved for it once I stumble upon $15k I have absolutely no other need for.

Hanging out in the green room, and what did I see? Shinobi on arcade.

Free plays all night.

Wayne Gretzky hockey,

Hot Damn, Gretzky Hockey was dirt. We played that for hours. Phoenix with Tkachuk was unreal. Teemu Selanne was nice too. We got to be pretty damn good, preemptive tackling, moving on the ice with complete control. But that game had some bad rubber-banding. You almost wanted to go down 3-1, because in the 3rd period, everything you shot was going in.

TDubs'08.. Another great one. I'd just grip it and rip it with John Daly. That was the best party game in that time, don't care what anyone says. You'd just crack beers with a few friends, take your time, and you could leave the room when it wasn't your turn.

GoldenEye is garbage. The ONLY thing I'll give it credit for is helping to bring local multiplayer to the consoles. I'll commend it for that.. but then I remember this game came out just 6 months later..

The aiming is so difficult in that game, I have it and people always give up in frustration lol
That's why you use the remote mines and the shortcut detonator. You're aim doesn't need to be that good to blow someone up with a bomb.

As for me If I had a 64 with Mario Golf I would play it every day, but my wife sold it in a yard sale.

Not much of a gamer, but about 7-8 yrs ago I got hooked on CoD (nothing but Team Death Match) after watching my then 12 yr old son play it.
I couldn't wait for the kid to go spend the night at a friends house.
My 12 yr old son: "Hey Dad, can I spend the night....
Me: "YES"
12 yr. old: "You didn't even let me finish..."
Me: "OK, what time do we have to pick you up tomorrow?"

I'd play that SoB for hours. Got really hooked...had to disassociate myself from it.

Do not know what happened, but once I turned 35 I just lost the desire to play video games.

I am 28 and I still love to escape life sometimes and play video games. And still play my XBOX-360 every day, which is a whole lot more than my Xbox One
I;m mid 40's, belonged to the same Battlefield clan/squad/platoon since Bad Company. We play at least once/week. I cherish that time.

Don't really play games but the wife and I bought an original Nintendo and have been raising our 7 year old on it. Huge hit with both parents and kiddos. Have broken them in on...

Paper Boy
Super Marios Bros 1, 2 and 3
Baseball Stars
Kung Fu
Excitebike
Mike Tyson's Punchout

Feel like my kids should understand the 80's to some degree.

Since there's no general video game thread.. a friend passed this a long to me. Looks pretty bad ***. Always wanted to see Wolfenstein have a few more layers..

Haven't played a video game in about 5 years but man I would love to play some madden or NBA2k right now, could play those games for hours back in the day.

We put some wear and tear on my buddies sega dreamcast back in the haggin hall days at UK, that system was the **** too bad it never caught on.

All things Nintendo. Super techmo bowl is the GOAT. Whether you played with the 49ers and had taylor/rice montan/young or the raiders with bo Jackson who was damn near unstoppable it was the best 50 bucks I ever spent. Eventually when I get to the mid life crisis I'm going to buy the Nintendo they have out now where it has like 50 games on it. Double dragon, double dribble, baseball, Zelda are all on it. It has techmo bowl but I wish it had super instead. It also has punch out on it which I loved

E.T. on Atari. That game is an underrated masterpiece.

I'm assuming that is sarcasm.

Searchers unearth grave of "E.T.," the video game Atari wanted us to forget


I don't really play anything old anymore. It is like buying a 55" TV and trying to go back to watching a 40" one. I adjust upward or forwards better than downward or backwards. I mostly just play FPS games like the COD series.

I probably will get the new one for Christmas. Been anxious to get away from that futuristic crap they have been releasing. Can't stand trying to shoot people in normal places like the ground, in buildings, and on roofs and then having to worry about shooting people running on freaking walls and jet packing all over the place.

My only real want for the COD franchise is to make the maps full of destructible areas like buildings, towers, caves, basically anyplace people can camp in. I believe that it's one thing they have/had in the Battlefield series. Don't really play it so not sure if they still have that feature. Someone is in a building that you can't get to because of them camping, just drop an air strike on them and collapse the building. No more camping there.
