For some reason you guys reminded me of when I was a lad and I would walk to the bowling alley with a quarter to play Ghosts n Goblins.

It was a bit like grand theft auto, except you had to rape your own hookers :sad:

I have beaten it on the arcade version.

One could claim that modern humanity started with Wolfinstien and/or Doom...

Duke Nukem 3D was a blast too.

I used to love to get to this part so I could let some blood flow back into my hand.

I don't wanna hear about your one-handed Ms. Pac Man playing.

test drive 2
jazz jackrabbit

Duke Nukem 3D was a blast too.

Forgot all of these, and Jazz Jackrabbit 2 which was ultra epic.

Best "rabbit" game ever:

Oh, come on! Those late-80s and 90s games are FAR superior to Call of Duty! (For the most part.)

I didn't say they weren't. I was being tongue-in-cheek. ChrisP bashed Nintendo, but that's all most of us really had growing up as kids, which is why we're nostalgic about it.

Okay, I'll go back through and read the whole thread after I post mine and see if anyone thinks like I do...and maybe get some more ideas...a kind of "I remember that!". I hit up wiki and did a search on the Commodore 64, Atari 5600 and the ColecoVision to remind myself and see if anything jumped out at me and this is what I came up with as games I remember playing over and over:

Asteroids
Donkey Kong
Zaxxon
River Raid
Venture
Doom
Q-Bert
BC II: Grog's Revenge
Centipede
Galaxian
Cosmic Avenger
Pitfall
Congo Bongo
Frogger
Pole Position
Paperboy

I remember playing a Summer Olympics game on the Commodore 128D but I don't think that counts...does it?

 

[Mister_T]

Just off the top of my head:

All the NES Mario, Zelda and Metroid

Mega Man 2-4

NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1-2

The Arcade stand-up that TMNT 2 was based off off

Sonic 1-3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic CD (game for the Sega CD)

Toejam and Earl.

Super Mario World

Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Demon's Crest

Super Metroid

X-Men Arcade stand-up

I'm sure there's more that I haven't thought of.

 

[Draka]

I never had a Nintendo or any version thereof. Ever.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

You ever think about getting one draka? Trying something new?

 

[Riverwolf]

My condolences.

 

[enchanted_one1975]

I never had a Nintendo or any version thereof. Ever.

When the original NES came out, I took all my birthday money and bought one. They were $80 for the basic model, two controllers, and Super Mario Brothers. This did not include the gun or Duck Hunt. It wasn't long after that the first Game Boys came out. I got mine for $90. I was shocked that the little thing actually cost more than a regular Nintendo. It taught me the value of nickel-cadium batteries though.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

I'm glad they have the DS now. Not only is the DS a pretty decent system for being hand held, but they're re-releasing a lot of the classic games for it, some of the N-64 ones. They recently re-released Pokemon Gold and Silver for it, which was the second generation Pokemon games, and I love the remake so far.

 

[Draka]

My condolences.

Please...no worries. I had the top of the line. I mean really...who could beat Atari, ColecoVision and Commodore 64 and 128D? I went for many years without playing video games at home. Once I hit high school it was more about the actual arcade games in the pool halls and the student lounge and such. Once in the Navy I eventually got a Playstation and it was the shiznit at the time. I've never had anything else. Playstation, PS2 and now PS3. Nothing else...unless you count my computer
