Games you played

[dilla]

It's ok. I gotta say, though, you are very tom-boyish.

 

[Bobby Sands]

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.

did you get an xbox 360 or ps3 yet?

you should get the Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection. it doesnt have Toe Jam and Earl or moon walker but it has Kid Chameleon and Decap Attack, Streets of Rage 1,2 and 3 and all the Sonic games.

 

[Casey]

I don't. I have a Wii and I just found out some of these games are available on the Virtual Console. But I am planning to get an Xbox, probably won't be until I move here to the US permanently though sometime next year. No point me buying another console in England.

 

[Stone_Cold]

Thanks for posting about paperboy! I used to love it and I was trying to tell my friends about it a few weeks ago and they thought I was making shit up and wouldnt believe me for some reason. Like there could never be a game about delivering papers lol?!?. They were looking at me like I broke into their house on christmas morning and pissed on their kids!

That video is getting forwarded to a few people lol

Yea whoever is playing it in the video really sucks. You're supposed to hit the baby carriages with the papers to save the babies and you can hit the old people on the swing to knock them off.

 

[ARon]

I played Sega and NES and SNES. NBA Jam was my shit, I could play that with my friend for hours. Zelda, Earthworm Jim for sure, all the classics really. I'm a straight up dork at heart and a good amount of my youth was spent playing video games. Golden Eye on N64, so many overnighters playing that with all my friends, Zelda on N64 was the shit too. My rich friend had every system pretty much so it was cool, he even had that piece of shit one where you put your face up against the whatever and the screen is right there, I forget what it's called or how to explain it really but yeah, he bought everything

I remember when our house would get broken into the first thing I'd run to go see was if my SNES was still there lol. It happened like 4 or 5 times and it was there everytime lol

i dont know about that. i think its worth having a Wii as well as an Xbox 360 or PS3 but maybe its not worthwhile owning both Xbox 360 and Ps3.

Yeah I want an xbox but I have no interest in the PS3.

 

[dilla]

I was thinking about it, and there really wasn't a major system I didn't own until now. I don't have a PS3. But my sister has a DS and a Wii, I have a 360, Xbox, PS2 (and therefore PSX), DC, GCN, NES, GB, GBA. Emulators count so I had an SNES and Genesis too. Ok, no Saturn, but who did have a shitty Saturn?

I just don't have a PS3, and I don't plan on it.

I had an Amiga when I lived in England, as well. My NES is PAL, so...

 

[ARon]

Emulators? If you didn't have to blow into your games to make em work it doesn't count.



How can I forget Contra
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start

 

[Stone_Cold]

I spent plenty of hours playing Harrier Attack on my sisters Amstrad. Loved it.

It used to take about 20 minutes for games to load on that piece of shit lmao. Kids these days dont know how good they have it!

 

[Ristol]

When I was going to SUNY Purchase, I beat every guy on my floor in Mortal Kombat. I've only met one person who is better than I am at that game.

 

[Chronic]

Too lazy to get into games I played as youngin' but this is something I playes as a teengar. Now I'm playing it again simply because it used to kick my ass. Theme Hospital. Alright game

Kind of funny when stuff like this happens

 

[Rahim]

i played most of the classics back in the day. nba jam was great too. can't wait to play the re-release.

 

[dilla]

I also forgot to mention that Minecraft shits on each and every one of the games in this thread.

 

[Pittsey]

The game me and my mates played the most. Which I don't expect anyone on here to play was ....


Championship Manager 93.


We used to have 48 hour sessions... No sleep... Just crips, coke (the soda) and sandwiches.... It rocked.


Football Manager 2011 is out soon. Which is the version of the game 18 years later...!

 

[Shadows]

I played all the games in the arcade that were .05cents to play. We were poor, so sometimes we would go to rich neighborhoods and do shit for the elderly. I never wanted to participate for the people that were just rich lazy though. Fuck that.

I played Pacman, Frogger, Asteroids, Joust. shit like that.

Eventually I saved up for a SNES bc my nes got busted.

In Nes, I played Contra and most the things u guys mentioned...and i lol'd when Aron posted the code, b/c as soon as i seen it i said it in my head and looked, and we got the same answer. lol I remember also, Kung Fu, Dodgeball and a few others.

My snes was: Mario Bros 3, Final Fantasy 3 (or 6). Battle Toads, Street Fighter, and some other games I can't for the life of me remember, until I play/see them.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Okay, i too had the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) and i loved the games i had on there:

Sonic The Hedgehod 2 was my favourite. Loved being Super Sonic!
Level Select: 19, 65, 9, 17, A + Start. Super Sonic: 4, 1, 6, 2, A + Start.

this level (Casino Night Zone) brought out the gamblers in us all (for those who played it that is; and those who played it know exactly why)

Micro Machines 2 Turbo Tournament was another classic. This one was by Codemasters. Addictive, and great to challenge others:

FIFA 95 - This game has a save game facility.

Puggsy. (not to be confused with Bugsy). Did anyone else ever come across this. it was about some psychic alien or something.

Super Hang on (I had this as part of a Mega Games 2 collection with 'World Cup Italia 90' and 'Columns'. This was a motor bike racing game where you were the racer and had echanics to tune up the bike and help you win races against your rivals. quite good.:

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Chuck Rock - lol at the belly flop:

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

I remember renting a number of games too. RBI Baseball 94, Dragon, Eternal Champions, Spiderman.

Spiderman vs The Kingpin:

Spiderman: The animated series:

Taz Escape from Mars:
