A ROUGH PROTOTYPE FOR PAPER MARIO?!!!!

UGHGHGAIEUUIRJAEKLGJA BNAKJFAKFAL!!!!!

...

You are dead to me...

Yeah! Seriously! Paper Mario is pure bullshit in comparison. Super Mario RPG is one of the most amazing things to come at the end of the 16 bit era. Such a great idea, and so well done. That game never got near as much credit as it deserved, thanks to it being released when its console was on its very last breath.

Wow, that takes me back. I remember when I got a patch to play the game sound effects through the pc speaker [since i had no sound card], that was like christmas.

What better way summarize this game than to say, wow this game was awesome. The crappy controls were annoying, but I still had fun. Though I prefer the PC version.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Woo-hoo, C64 Ghostbusters!  Glad to see I'm not the only one who played some of these older games.

Sorry, no video games when I was a kid.  It was a different world back in the early 70s.  We didn't sit indoors and live virtually.  We were outside playing sports, games, or riding bikes.  If we were stuck inside on rainy days, nothing beat a good game of Electric Football.

Put the tiny felt football under the players arm, turn on the vibrating board and watch the players move in every direction imaginable.

Gentlemen, I present to you Super Mario Crossover:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/534416

Play the original Super Mario Bros. in its entirety as Mario, Link, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, Samus, and Bill from Contra. And prepare for nerdgasm.

Playing as Bill feels like unleashing a Terminator onto the Smurf village. :P

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Sega Genesis

Galaga, Joust, Spy Hunter, OutRun, Hydro Thunder, Crazy Taxi, X-men,

Gran Turismo 2, Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, Rebel Assault II, Super Smash Bros., Star Fox 64, Rogue Squadron, Goldeneye,

And a little game you may have seen before...

I still get a rush whenever I see this machine. I remember the first time I beat the Boba Fett level and the Vader level on the same play. When I find a machine that isn't modded (jammed joystick, unresponsive buttons) and with a good bright screen I can blast through all the way to the end on one play. I love the way the built in speakers rumble your seat. If there was ever any arcade game to have in my house....is there any other game where you get to fight wampas, duel with Boba and Vader by lightsaber, fight in both Death Star battles, fight on speeder bikes, fight the battle of Hoth and in Echo Base, play the battle of Endor, and virtually relive the OT?

Hell yeah!  This is the only game system I've saved - it's safely collecting dust in my closet.

WCW vs. NWO World Tour for the N64.

When this game came out, me and three friends ditched school for two days to play it non-stop. It was like crack.

FYI the first image doesn't show up - you cannot copy/paste an image from the windows clipboard into the post editor, it doesn't work like that.

That's pretty good going, I consider myself lucky if I complete the first level. I think I've only ever got to Boba Fett once.

I can remember the first time I beat OutRun.

Wow! It is a like a dream that is so good to be true you'd never even think about dreaming it in the first place for fear of seeming too greedy. Only, here it is... ah, dammit! Hold on... got to go change my underware...

This is very confusing to me.  I know what flatware is, but...

...oh, wait, I get it.  The napkin under the fork, spoon, or knife would be the underware.  Never thought of it like that...
