    remember the old days, when games used to be based on gameplay? damn, i miss those days. now it's like the game industry is trying to mimic movies, always having intricate storylines which involve a little bit of gaming. and games are ALL about getting you to go out and get the next one these days... dammit.

    good ol' megaman, the old final fantasys, all those wonderful old games with cartoony graphics and enough storyline to keep you happy but rarely exasperated.

    some games are good today, don't get me wrong. it's just.... not the same....

    (great new forum btw)

    Totally agree, only recent game I play that Im all about is Fight Night 3 for PS2. If you never tried it, Im saying shit is mad tight, most realistic boxing game ever, just as addicting as the classic games!

    ya? hell man, i'll have to try it...

    yeah, i just miss the days when not every game was so obsessed with having viable storylines ... lol half the games from back then are just ridiculous storylines with no real reason haahahah, makes them so fun... you still get them now and again these days, but not the same :p

    Hello There,
    I have recently gone out and bought myself Black and white 2.. I got upto about the sixth level in the game and its really hard to get pass.. I find these games can be addictive.. My favourite all time game is Bubble Bobble.. You know 100 levels and every password is 3 letters long so if you spend 2 hours typing in the codes and combination you will get to level 100. I loved the Snes Zelda version but the N64 version scared me with the 3D spiders.. I am arachniphobic so therefore i cannot play any games with giant spiders on them..
    I got into doom with a cheat for infiniate Health.. You remember the commidore 64's... Ever play friday the 13th where you are to run around and keep away from Jason.. Remember waiting all day for it to load up with the flashy red colours.. and then they crash.. Once again you spend your days with

    FRIDAY 13TH
    "PRESS PLAY ON TAPE"

    Now you get a console its over expensive the games are just about graphics and there isnt that momentum that they once had..

    Regards

    Anyone remember Decathalon for Atari? Talk about mashing your thumbs...

    I think my favorites of the origian NES were Shadowgate, Rygar, and Blaster Master, OH and Super Contra.
