When I was your age, we had to blow on the video games to make them work

[DrifterXRPS13]

[mRodiek]

When you were 8 there was no such thing as video.

LOL @ When he was 8, Orson Wells scared the crap out of him with War of the Worlds.

I never did the Nintendo thing, I was one of the few with the Master System =/

[SHIFT_Z]

I was also a PharMor renter.

Check this dude out though, hilarious videos.

Heres one for Top Gun:http://www.youtube.com/user/Ja...PzFo0

Yeah, you have to blow out the Genesis, too. But the 32x goes between the cartridge and the Genesis, so you have to blow in it as well.

lol, bro i still have my old sega genesis the 1st model out, also i have a second model one with a sega cd attached, and then to top it off i have the rare sega cdx the one about the size of a portable cd player and i have a 32x for all 3....lol. i still have my NES that i got when they first came out and that bad boy still works. i also have this thing called a retro duo and it has slots for both NES and SNES games. im love old school gaming but i also have a playstation, playstaion 2, and xbox 360.

Kids are spoiled these days. I remember saving up for months to buy a SNES. Man, when I got that home I was like "MOM! LOOK AT THESE GRAPHICS!! SWEET AREN'T THEY?!"

Boy how things have changed the past 12-15 years.

[TroubleBound]

Heh yeah i was freaking out when me and my bros got a N64 and mario was breathing and s***. I still have the 64 and it is still fun but looking back i can't imagine how i ever thought it had good graphics. Playing Zelda Ocarina of Time atm. But i can't say i don't love my ps3.

So what are some favorite og games we love?

[Red coupe]

So what are some favorite og games we love?

I haven't played it since... but I used to love Pro Wrestling.

I remember thinking Mario 3 was AMAZING.

On super nintendo I still play Aero Fighters, and its still amazing. That and F-Zero are probably the best SNES games ever made (never big into RPGs)

Not an old game, but I just tried "Gravity Crash" on PS3. It is very old school, and the full game only costs $5. There is a demo on PSN If you have a PS3 give it a try.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Super Mario 3 IS amazing.

So what are some favorite og games we love?

The good ones. Way too many to list.I still enjoy the occasional game of Combat and Gauntlet on my 2600. And I play all my Kirby games regularly (Dreamland 1-3, Adventure, Super Star). Mario 3 and 4...and a lot more.

but looking back i can't imagine how i ever thought it had good graphics.

Even at the time I couldn't believe people thought it had good graphics. Someone would boot up OOT and I'd look at it and think "Good lord...I've got icons on my desktop with higher pixel counts than that grass texture." The Expansion Pak helped a bit, though.

Gauntlet

ahhh i loved gauntlet. oh, and screw your 32x, i dealt with this bad boy

[MinisterofDOOM]

I had a game genie for my NES, too. Had NOTHING on the 32X. The 32X had metal clip dealies you had to shove in the slot with the device and it had its own power source.

[timay]

So what are some favorite og games we love?

Mario 3 of course. Duck Hunt with the clay shooting, excitebike, RBI baseball, nfl football (the regular one), tetris, mario bros 1, double dribble basketball, contra.

on sega it was, golden axe, streets of rage, sonic 1, tony larussa baseball, bill walsh college football 95' and alot of others I can't think of because I just woke up.

[numbnuts240]

the first sega consoles i owned were a game gear and my dreamcast. my cousin had the genesis, 32x, saturn, and cd. the only things i remember about them were sonic and shinobi.

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start

[etschell]

thats not the only thing the op blew on when he was a kid, ifyaknawhatimean.....

[cellardoorv]

EXCITEBIKE!



And seriously, SkyKid was the best thing EVAR.

[numbnuts240]

EXCITEBIKE!

[Red coupe]

I remember on excite bike if you used the speed code with game genie then made a track with the ramp that looked like /| you could jump so high you came back around the bottom of the screen.

I had Nintendo for ever. I ended up with so many games (few of those paper grocery bags full), the running mat, the power glove, a big wireless joystick controller... I basically took all my friends nintendo stuff as they moved on.

You guys remember that Rad Racer had a 3d mode where you could wear those colored glasses?!

Round the time everyone was getting N64 I bough a sega w/sega cd off my friend.

All I have to say is:

[fallen_gtb]

i remember i didnt even have a tv in my room till i was about 12 or 13. and when i finally did it was a cheap little tv with antenna and the twist knob to change the channel... i used to have a sega genisis and my homies had snes..... Mario Kart and Killer Instinct ftw. Super Mario RPG was sick too.

[ERIC s.-14]

Greatest thing about N64 and cartridge games is that they are freaking indestructible, it is the only system that doesn't break from the atrocities that occur in a college student's house or apartment.

[wa-chiss]

Man, I remember having to blow into my original Nintendo. I also remember having to keep tapping the game in and back out like a THOUSAND times before it would work.

Techno SuperbowlBattletoadsDuck Hunt (with the gun of course)Super Mario Bro. (all which apply)ZELDA!!!!! and the gold game case.

[troskinatior]

i used to have one, i loved the one where you hit people with chains on a bike i think its road rage, jarassic park, mario, excitebike, jaws, and duck hunt

I can't stand most of the kids/teenagers I encounter.

Me to and i am one

[superskunk]

i had the Master system too... i remember it had a built in snail maze game that could be played with out a cartridge in the console... i also had NES, SNES, Genesis, Turbo Graphix 16, Playstation 1, 2 and now 3... Xbox and Xbox360... my cousin had a game system that had its own monitor and a controller that had a joystick and i think it was 4 buttons....
