I always had good memories from Pacman. Like 5 or 6 playing Pacman in the laundry mat when we were poor so I always wanted any Pacman game. The only game system I never had was a Sega. I don't know why my mom never got it because she got me every other one. I would have to go to my neighbors to play Sonic the Hedgehog and Earthworm Jim which I was never good at because I couildn't practice for hours at home. I think Mortal Kombat was one of the only boy games I was good at.

you mean when i was a kid or now?

i had a mega drive/genesis back then and a gameboy.

my favourite games back then were probably the Sonic games especially Sonic and Knuckles with Sonic 3. Super Monaco GP. Earthworm Jim was pretty good.i liked Streets of Rage. I had EA Ice Hockey and i love that game. was good fun to play if friends were around. i was never allowed to get Mortal Kombat games because of the big fuss in the media over them lol. On the gameboy, i really liked Zelda-Links Awakening.

I have a WII, PSP, DS and my brother just gave me his Xbox...but no I don't really have time. When he first gave it to me I played for hours and hours for a couple days straight and then I was done. I haven't touched it since.

Oh ok, girl gamers = coolness.

Anyways, I've played so many games since my youth, but I was mostly a Sega guy, when I was young.

Genesis FTW... I also had a NeoGeo lol

I had a NES... Then got the SNES... Then I had a Gamegear with Tv Tuner... Then I got a playstation... Then a GBA...

My brother had a Commodore 64, then a Sega Master System, then a gameboy... Then his gaming fun was over....



In my house now is 2 xbox 360's... A wii. A PS3. A PSP. A DSI. And that's it I think. I play none of them really. Kind of left gaming about 5 years ago... I play now and again. But can't do more than an hour in a row.

Yea I'm about to call my mom and ask why we never got a Sega. She was a game nerd too because I remember she would always buy the earlier arcade style games and I know it's because she wanted to play them.

I remember i used to play Batman Returns quite a bit as well. it was a really hard game though. i got the part where this big ball with spikes comes down the escalators and i could never get past it.

did anyone here ever play Chakan the forever man? Fuck, that game was one of the most difficult games ever made.

I had a Sega Megadrive/Genesis, it was the most fun! I literally spent hours playing it every day when I was a kid. By the late 90s I had amassed around 40 games, most of which I sold at some point. The Sonic series was epic and Streets of Rage also. But since Bobby already posted those I'll post a few more of my faves.

Toejam & Earl:

Epically awesome, especially in split-screen multiplayer mode. You play two aliens who crashlanded on earth. You have to collect pieces of their rocketship over 25 levels while dealing with all sorts of random human enemies, like the crazy dentist, Cupid, dancing hula girls, the Boogieman, the evil Mole, and more. You collect presents that are scattered around that give you special powers like Rocket Skates, Icarus Wings, Warp Doors, Bouncing Shoes, and more. But there's bad presents too that make you lose life, or randomize the presents you have so you don't know what they are. Fucking epic.

Toejam & Earl 2: Panic on Funkotron

Possibly even more fun than the original, but a completely different type of game, this was a side scrolling platformer. On this one, the two funky aliens are back on their home planet of Funkotron, but accidentally brought a bunch of humans back with them, so you have to travel around their planet collecting humans in Jars and shipping them back to Earth. You have to solve all sorts of puzzles along the way like collecting all the favorite possessions of Lamont the Funkopotamus who is hiding in the Funk Dimension due to being scared of the humans. This game is so awesome. I just heard that it's available on the Wii Virtual Console so when I get back to the UK I'm going to buy it on there.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker:

My second favorite video game of all time. What's not to love about a game where you play as Michael Jackson, moonwalking, dancing, throwing your hat at bad guys, and occasionally transforming into the killer MJ robot from the movie, all while traversing through levels vaguely resembling Mike's music videos, set to MIDI versions of "Smooth Criminal", "Bad", "Another Part Of Me" and "Billie Jean"? This game is beyond epic.

Kid Chameleon:

This game was ridiculously hard but so much fun. It had something like 60 levels and maybe more, and like most games at that time, no save function. I remember leaving my Megadrive paused and turned on overnight just to continue where I left off. This game had you controlling a kid stuck inside a virtual reality arcade game. You collected different helmets that gave you different powers, like a ninja/samurai helmet, one that turned you into a fly so that you could fly to higher parts of the level, and one that turned you into a Jason Voorhees type character with a hockey mask that could throw axes at enemies. Stupidly fun.

Decap Attack

This game made absolutely no sense but it was super fun. Apparently there was a Japanese game called Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure based on an anime TV show, but the license was only for Japan, so the developers created all new levels, all new music, all new character, an all new story line based on the original game engine, and it became Decap Attack internationally. Ridiculous game but really fun.

I'll post more later.
