Basically, post a game you are currently workin on, describe why you are Hooked or if you need help or how you even found the game

Me: Illusion of Gaia
- I found it when I was looking for more SNEs Baseball games, I tryed it out and I liked the storyline and difficulty.

- Right now I am stuck in Angel Village

Mario Kart DS. I'm trying to get 3 stars in everything, and thats no easy task.

Shadowgate 64

Zelda collectors edition,(GC) starting Orcarina of time. i sat down and went from the beggining to the forest temple yesterday.

Currently playing "Kanji Boy" on my Gameboy emulator and trying to pass the highest level, which is quite difficult.
It's not a game though... it's more of educational software.

Dragon Quest VIII, trying to beat Dhoulmagus.

Super Mario Bros. 1, Tiger-Heli, super smash bros original

"Shadowgate 64"

have you beaten the original?

I am playing MKDS at the moment. my dad is gaving me the WEP code later today! I have to return the game to the store on Monday.

Then after that some more SM64DS to tie me over until AC:WW.

I am playing Solomons Key and The Mafat Conspiracy on NES.

I'm kinda switching around what I'm working on.

We Love Katamari!

Nintendogs (Best Friends Edition)
Polarium (I'm on puzzle 80 something)

Polarium is pretty Sweet isn't it?

i Just Got and love, Mr. Driller Drill Spirits, i DIG it(bad Joke).

I am also really into Perfect Dark Zero. ive beaten it twice already.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door, Out of my 4 files, 3 have been passed completely, going for the 4th!

Super Mario Bros. 1, Tiger-Heli, super smash bros original

"Shadowgate 64"

have you beaten the original?

Nope, but I do plan on it because from the hour I spent on it, I really liked it.

Some of the Polarium puzzle's are super hard!
I want Mr. Driller, but when I went to find it my local store didn't have it.

Good luck when you get to Majora's Mask. The collectors version is as buggy as hell.

A game I've been playing recently is Adventures of Lolo 3. It seems harder than the first two.

Last played:

Bionic Commando for the NES

Condemned Criminal origins, in the dark with 3 people at 4 in the morning. I couldn't sleep to tell you the truth, so i did what my brother did i put my blankEy over my head and i fell asleep,

This Game Scares the Sh** outta me , actually its just frickin Creepy,.

Yeah, notice that. Marjoras mask is horrible. I thnk ill just buy the N64 version. I haven't had an problems with Ocarina of Time, Though.

Wave Race 64.
Because it kicks

Wave Race 64.
Because it kicks ass

Hell yea!!

Anyway I have been Hooked on Monkey Ball 2 for the Cube. That game is made for like 3 year olds but its HARD!!

Secret of Evermore.

Still trying to beat Bio Metal. , that game is awesome.

Its not made for 3 year-olds. It made for everybody . I love that game.

Having played the fudge out of Wave Race, i've moved onto Mario 64. The N64 is the only console I have with me at the moment, I really need more games for it. Think i'll get Paper Mario.

I dont think a sixty dollar TV is going to be High Definition.
Playing Super Mario SUnshine

I think he meant if Condemned was worth the $60. Although I have seen an HD ready TV for only $200.(which is sort of close to $60 )

Ahh, I see.

Currently playing 'Super Mario World' for Super Nintendo, trying to figure out how I missed 3 exits.

Up to 98% on 'Castlevania: Rondo of Blood' (more on that game later).

Will try to make it through 'Maniac Mansion Deluxe' on PC with at least 3 different character combinations.
Lots of game to be played.

(Is this really "off-topic"?)

On the last level of Megaman 6 for NES. Hope to have pics of the end by tomorrow in the conquered games.

Also I have still been playing Super Monkey Ball 2 for Gamecube. Im on the last level of that as well in "Adventure Mode".

I have been spending most of my time though playing DragonFire on Stella.

San FRancisco Rush, but before that was Prince of Persia the Sands of time and before that was Conkers Bad Fur day.

Ninja Gaiden Black.

Alma just ate some Dragon Sword.

I looked at a guide (only the parts I've passed already) and I'm going to have to play it again, Which isn't all bad, since it is a fantastic game.

Super Mario 64 DS, trying to get one more star!!! I'll have them all!

Playing Far Cry Instincts.

Treasure Island Dizzy. I've finished the other 2 NES dizzy games so am trying to complete the set, but this is surely the toughest. You only have one life so one mistake and it's back to the start.

I'm currently at "Polarium" on my DS and started Super Mario Sunshine again.

Nice!

And I actually started an Ocarina of time File, for the 14th time(ive beaten it 13 times)

Currently playing 'Overblood' for PS1. It's a 'Resident Evil' style game where you control this guy and an annoying little robot named "Pipo".
Seems like an okay game. Perhaps a bit outdated now (by 3D standards).

Also 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' (for the NESfiles challenge), and 'Wonder Boy In Monster Land' for Sega Master System.
I have beaten 28 SMS games total. I will make it to 30 before the end of the year (my own personal challenge).

90%

Sometimes the solutions are easier than it seems.

Currently playing Sonic 2. Specifically Level 2 Act 2 . Must go fast... Very fast

Aladdin for the Genesis. that cave level is a bitch

i know what u mean.

Nice!

And I actually started an Ocarina of time File, for the 14th time(ive beaten it 13 times)

Yes... I need to get the star on Whomp's Fortress, "Blast Away The Wall", but I don't know where to "blast" or whatever...

Ah, Thats easy! Go to the place on the path to whomps fotress, where the water is, and go into that cannon. oint it at the corner of the wall with the slope on it, and blast away the wall. Then a star will appear where you blasted it

Ok! thanks! Now I can post this in the conquered games!!!

playing Bio Metal. Also, I've almost beaten Ace Combat 5.

whats Bio Metal for it sounds so familiar.

I'm now playing Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mortal Kombat.

Excitebike for NES. Im gonna play that game until I get 1:00:XX, where XX is any number .

Cowboy Kid for the NES has anyone else played this? I really like the little Mini games like the shooting range and playing Blackjack.

I got Animal Crossing DS (Japanese version) yesterday and now I'm playing that. It's cool.

Dragon Warrior IV. I'm only on chapter 2. I think this one is going to take me a long time.

Shadows of the Empire.

Tiny Toons Adventures in Wacky land, because my computer is f*cking f*cked.

Haha

Mario and Luigi DS
Trauma Center.

The store is the same it was in the cube version. Neat.
If you get the department store that will have a hair salon in it.

SNES. Please, play it! It's my Goal in life to spread awareness of it to gamers everywhere. And if you donate money to the cause, you get a free tote bag.

Anyhoo, I'm earnestly POWerhousing through Shadow of the Colossus right now. Now, I'm not finished with it yet, and I know this is going to sound trite and cliched, but Shadow is (in my opinion) the best modern game that I've played. It's just... I dunno. The whole thing is just everything that a modern game be.

*cough* Ninja Gaiden *cough*

That, too. But I'm not very good at NG (big surprise).

Right now i'm playing Gilligan's Island on the NES but there is no Ginger in the game.

Karaoke Revolution Volume 2.

I have been spending the last week playing Gran Turismo 2 for PS1. It is an awesome game because of the realistic settings and awesome selection of cars and parts for them. I havent even touched the arcade disk yet, just the simulation one.

slalom and Track and Field games for the NES.

I am playing a quiet little gem on XBOX simply titled 'Gun'. I'll have plenty to say about this one after I finish it (which should be very soon).

In the meantime, here's a quoted scene from the game just to get an idea what to expect...

"I am Hoodu Brown!!!"

*BANG*

"You were."

Nice. I'll be looking forward to hearing about it. It seems pretty damn interesting.

i'll tell you Trauma Center is Bliggan Hard.

I'm playing the Wind Waker and a bit of SSX on tour (i'm trying to get into it)
I hope to start playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles more as soon as I find a strategy guide for it.

I'm up for the challenge! Basically I just want to cut up people for my own sick amusement.

Awright, I'm officially playing Raid 2020, and I'll be the first to say this;
@#$ %&@! mother!&*$#%@ sonofa&^#*!

Actually, it's still a step above Raid on Bungeling Bay.

Right now i'm playing Felix the Cat this is a great game anyone who has not played it should check it out.

Right now I'm playing

The Simpsons Hit & Run (so much fun!)

Started Jedi Academy for PC today.

I'm playing Spider-man And Venom : Maximum Carnage

Man that game is hard!

On the SNES

I've never even been able to beat the game yet

For now, i've given up on S.O.A.L, i'm weary of the battle system. I'm now playing Sonic Adventure DX and I hope to get into the Crystal Chronicles next.

Crazy Taxi 2 on the Dreamcast! Just farting around with the "crazy pyramid"!. I like that "stair level".

Max Payne 2. (PS2)

I must admit, I'm out of practice when it comes to moving a person with one analog and using the other for view. I got my ass capped quite a few times already.

oh snap dog!!

Condemed right now..

freaking scary.

Project Rub (Feel the Magic XY/XX)
Animal Crossing DS

Still casually playing Animal Crossing on the 'Cube, and quickly progressing toward 100% on Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (THAW is a rental for anyone who knows their way around a THPS game, Story mode was conquered in two days, Classic mode in a few hours)

See thats a shame that such a potentially good game gets turned to crap because it just too short! The same was true with the first and second THUG.

i just never played any after the 4th TH, and i hate thug and Thaw it sounds so dumb.

Read a few of your posts some time.
Just a short form, not to go around and say "Hey man, do you like thaw? its so gog LOL ohemgee."

Right now i'm playing The Punisher and Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt on the NES.

I just beat Metal Gear Solid 3, so I started playing Mario Party 3. I never realyl finished 1 player mode all the way.

Playing Metroid Prime 2 and Fire Emblem Radiance.

THUG 2 was far too easy, and i'm not a Tony Hawks veteran.
THAW was easy as well. I think it had the potential to be better, and I didn't much care for people calling one another "noobs"
I feel after the story lines were introduced, the series declined a bit.

Anyway, i'm playing GUN.

Read a few of your posts some time.
Just a short form, not to go around and say "Hey man, do you like thaw? its so gog LOL ohemgee."

im a bad typer, and i dont remember using lol, or OMG, i hate both of those, i never even use lol on aim or anything, i go heheheheh, and omg, no way, i hate shortened up words, i barely in Aim conversations ever even use u, instead of you.
Yeah I wasn't implying that you said things like that, I was merely stating that acronyms should stay on the internet where they are acceptable. (except loool omg lmao rofl lolz bull)
And you should converse in complete sentences while in a "AIM" conversation, you lazy bastard

I started a game of Adventure Island 3. Hopefully it will be beat by tonight.

I'm playing Ridge Racer 6.

I'm mainly playing Shenmue. I've got quite addicted to it. One thing I'm not quite sure about is why there is a Saturn in Ryo's house in the 1986. Also there are a few posters of Sonic lurking about. Very strange.

Also been playing Mario Kart Double Dash in an attempt to finally get all the gold cups. Nearly there...

And finally Sonic Adventure, but got a bit bored of that to tell the truth. Well I finished sonic's levels. It's doing the other characters missions that is a bit dull.

Air Fortress
Half Life Blue SHift, pretty sweet game
Trauma Center, i figureed out a cheap thing to do.
Metal SLug 3
Socom II
.

And finally Sonic Adventure, but got a bit bored of that to tell the truth. Well I finished sonic's levels. It's doing the other characters missions that is a bit dull.

Anyone up for frog fishing?

Oh my god, i hate Big the Cat.

i started a new game in Pokemon Leaf Green.... shut up! those games are fun!

Darkman - this is one hard NES game! i'm not sure how the levels work, but i guess i got to stage 5 or 6 yesterday. this game has some rockin' tunes.

Im playing alot of games but im mainly trying to finish Shinobi for the ps2. I loved the older shinobis growing up so I thought id get this. ITS FAST PACED! Pretty difficult too but a good game. Im stuck at 4-A. And campkill I just have to say I HATED Darkman the game. Worst controlling ever! Good luck with it though.

i'm also playing Doom II for PC. this game is awesome, i can't wait til i get a good computer, and can play Doom 3

Doom II kicked ass, especially Final Doom... which we now know not to be final at all, since there was a sequel to .

Right now i'm playing Earthworm Jim 2

All Damn good games. Well, at least for the Genesis, I never got around to trying out the N64 version.

i started back up on Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. now i'm over 90% done, and i guess at the 2nd to last boss. he's pretty tough, especially since i'm out of potions, and the nearest warp is 394283498 rooms away, and all those rooms are filled with hard monsters

which boss is it?

Samurai Legend Musashi.....

Pretty fun game! A cross between Kindom of Hearts/Zelda. It gets a little repetative but still fun.

Is it much like Brave Fencer Musashi? If so I might have to check it out, I loved that game.

AllDo you know what the difference is between the Genesis Version and the Sega CD Version?

All

From what I can tell it's just CD Audio, but I haven't really played the games very much.

I have a CD image of the US Earthworm Jim Special Edition for the Sega CD (The actual NTSC version was a PAIN to find...) which can be played on the real console once burned, or through Fusion by opening the image. send me a PM if you're interested.

All

weve got the Saturn version of EWJ2 here. its my brothers.

Right now i'm playing X-Perts on Genesis.

I just started pleying Ghosts 'n Goblins on the 8-bit.

About once a year I convince myself that I can beat it, get so mad I start punching my chair, and then swear I will never play that game again. Sadly, I always do.

I am on the second boss (the first boss x2). Almost as far as I've ever had the patience to get before.

I'm re-playing Snowboard Kids 2 since I just beat the first one 100 percent. Expert mode is hard...

I am currently playing 'The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition' for XBOX.

In other words, I won't be playing much of anything else for about 5 months.

Started playing "Sword of Mana" (GBA) yesterday.

Tetris, and Fortress which is another Tetris

Fortress... which one, the GBA version? In any case, I wasn't too thrilled with it, though I give it Kudos for ingenuity.

yes the GBA one.

I'm playing Perfect Dark Zero. Not this very second, obviously. As i'm typing this. Yep.

i'm still working on Pokemon LeafGreen. i've got about 13 hours in it, and i'm still not very far, i just got out of Pokemon Tower. i'm taking my time, leveling up, evolving, trying to "be the very best, like noone ever was.... to catch them is my real test, to train them is my CAUSE!! i will travel across the globe, searching far and wide" something else, i don't remember

Now a good franchise crossover.

Pokemon totally ownz n00bs. Especially the blue and red games. Yeah, I said it.

I TRIED to play through bards tale but...the game is just too darn tough for me. It uses the baldurs gate dark alliance hack and slash engine, but its unresponsive and the enemies no matter where I go, give me a tough time so I cant really level up. I put it on the normal setting and I get my arse kicked. I might have to start over on the easy setting sadly...By the way this is the PS2 version of bards tale not the pc or NES one...

Pokemon totally ownz n00bs. Especially the blue and red games. Yeah, I said it.

i agree.

Pokemon blue is possibly my favourite game of all time.

you guys should play LeafGreen.... it's a remake of Red/Blue, with some added extras. it totally pwnz teh n00bz0rz!

The games were decent rpgs with cool ideas. The show, however, needs to hurry the hell up and die already.

Why is it that Americans are going crazy over shows that are completely passe' in Japan? And why is it always the shows that I hate? And why hasn't someone made a Golgo 13 show yet? I mean, the guy has enough manga and movie releases, can't he lend his godlike visage to make one lousy show? Primadonna.

...

Oh, and I'm currently replaying Splashdown and trying out Silent Scope Complete.

Pokemon still airs? The last time it was the big "Craze" was like, before grade 4, or 4 years ago...
Hell, I never even see re-runs anymore.

i heard someone say it still comes on the WB at 4 o'clock or something. i don't know if that channel airs in Canada though....

anyways, i just started Age of Empires: The Age of Kings for the DS

thats why i have it.
and i kinda started a file on ocarina of time becasue my brother wanted me to.

According to my little brother, yes. Something about a "master league". Kids' IQs are going down the toilet as we speak.

Playing Flashback The Quest for Identity for SNES

I loved that game back when it was new, probably around when I was 12. Great game, I use to replay that one alot.

I'm playing Kid Ikarus. Tough game, but I like it.

Yes Pokemon is still on the air. The advance seris. And a new seris that doesn't even have Ash in it.

Now Playing:

Skies of Arcadia.

Filling in for ZEN.

I'm playing "Brick" on my iPod mini most of the time

right now i'm working on Age of Empire for DS, and Pokemon LeafGrean

Mighty Final Fight , and then... Air Fortress, and then...... G.I.JOE, and then......... Finish Musashi for PS2, and then............... NO AND THEN!

Sorry, I'm a little gitty. My girl is out for the weekend and I get to play games all weekend

Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube.

So far, it's living up to the hype.

Resident Evil has long been a series I've TRIED to like, but it was just too crappy. Until now. seems they've fixed just about every issue I had with the game.

that's exactly how i felt when i first played RE4

that's exactly how i felt when i first played RE4

except I just got Ashley, now I'm worried the whole game is going to become an escort mission...

i thought the samething, but it turns out good....

Resident Evil has long been a series I've TRIED to like, but it was just too crappy. Until now. seems they've fixed just about every issue I had with the game.

That is exactly how I felt until I played RE4. I think I took a risk by buying it the first place, given my feelings towards the previous games, but I grew to love it.

I wasnt sure how good RE4 was going to be when I first heard about it either. But when I first played it..I was astonished at how a modern day game was actually...fun to play.

I am playing RE4 as well.

So far so good.

Castlevania: Bloodlines came in the mail today, so i'll be playing that for a little while.

I'm playing The Jungle Book i've played the Genesis and Snes versions but now i'm playing it on the NES.

I've moved on to Project Gotham 3, trying to finish it on "hard" mode.

have fun Great game so is RE4

i couldnt wait for RE4 becasue i had the demo!

i am playing Majoras Mask i just kinda blew off my ocarina file.

Right now I'm playing

Sprung

For the DS.

i hate that game it sucks, compared to Feel the Magic.

I'm a old school text gamer. I don't particularily like all the whistles and bells when it comes to most games. I also like the cheesy lines they say in Sprung like "eat yellow snow and die" plus it's funny when you get into a fight with your chick friend and start calling her skank (and other less than polite things).

Besides, it was $9.99. Which is my budget for games.

For 10$ I'd pick up many games. I really envy you guys over there. Everything's so cheap.

Then we're even, right?
I like being envied somehow.

GOOD luck with that one. I hated that game. But right now I just started a new file on the Resident Evil remake for the cube. Playing through with Chris on normal mode...ALOT harder than the original ps one version.

NFS:MW... almost done

Earthbound. I once got half way through this game and then stopped for reasons I can't remember. Hopefully I'll stick with it this time.

Working on the last stage of "Black" for the Xbox. This game easily has the best graphics of this console generation. the smoke effects are just stunning.

Could Black very well be the last good games on PS2 and XBOX?

Could Black very well be the last good games on PS2 and XBOX?

No.

Stop reading Joystiq so much.

The cover of OPM just said that to sell magazines.

Yes I seen that one the cover of OPM at loblaws.

I'm playing Jurassic Park on the NES it's not really as fun as the Genesis Version.

I've been on a huge DS kick recently. Here's everything I'm playing right now... all for the DS

Trace Memory
Mario Kart
Sprung
Nintendogs

I want to play Castlevania also, but I keep forgetting where I left off at... I may have to start over on that game.

it'll be worth it if you do. i still need to beat the final boss, i haven't played in awhile

lately, i've been playing:

Gunz: The Duel.... they should change the name to Crack: The Duel
Pokemon: LeafGreen.... i just beat Blaine the other night, haven't played it much since
Age of Empires DS.... this game is F'ing hard!

I'm still playing Project Gotham Racing 3. I'm doing it on "medium" difficulty and i've almost finished.

Speaking of DS, my friend wants me to find him Pheonix write?? for the DS. He said he looked all over and could not find it.

Is this game really that hard to find? Any tips on where to get one?

i'm pretty sure it got discontinued already. your best bet would be to find it used somewhere, internet maybe, but it'll probly be pretty pricey $$$$

Why would it have been discontinued? The DS hasn't been out that long Didn't it sell good?

If it's sold out, eBay or amazon marketplace can be of help.
I think you should still find it there for a reasonable price.

You could also import the UK version, which will be out on March 31st.

Castlevania on the DS is discontinued too. once they sell a certain amount, they cut off production. i don't think Konami likes money all too well

It was a pain in the rear end for me to find (and that was in January). I had to go to 4 stores just to find it. I found mine at Game Crazy (that game store that is Hooked up with Hollywood video).

It's a fun game and worth all the hunting. Plus now Japan has a sequel to it (so I've heard).

I'm currently playing the Japanese version of Bionic Commando (also called Top Secret: Hitler's Revival). Its slow go, I don't know a word of Japanese.

Other than that, I started playing Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door again and Halo 2.

Just the NES ROM, I wasn't lucky enough to pick up a Famicom and find the Top Secret: Hitler's Revival cartridge.

I wish there was a translation, there are so many added conversations (Like the conversation with the enemy Platoon Leader in Area 14 I think. That conversation seemed to be a long one.)

I'm currently playing "The Legend of Dragoon" again with my friend. I'm on the 3rd disc.

Champions of Norrath on extreme diffuculty, my wife and I love the co-op games. This one's kinda tough because we're a couple levels below where we should be for this diffuvculty.

You play it co-op too? Some of my best co-op moments have been on Legend of Dragoon (partially because we give the conversations the old MST 3000 treatment). But my copy won't go past the water dragon battle on the second disc anymore! I'm depressed.

Anyway, I've been playing Shadow of the Colossus on Hard mode now, and I must say I'm thoroughly pleased with it. The hard mode battles are much more involved, and the colossi do a helluva more damage... the very first one actually managed to me in two hits because I acted clumsily.

Bomberman! (DS)

*BOMB, BOMB, BOMB*!

He's just so damn cute!

No, I didn't even know it was co-op. We are just playing at the same time, and talking about it.

Oh... yeah, I would have two friends over and we would switch off control between characters during fights. This worked well, since the characters have different timing for the button presses. I was always better with the speedy guys.

I just got Die Hard for NES in the mail so i guess i'll be playing that for a while Yippie-Ki-Yay

haha, i used to rent the one for PS1 all the time.

I'm currently playing Shanghai for the DS. Really nice game.

Right now I'm playing Super Princess Peach for DS and Halo 2 for XBox

how is that game? i thought about getting it. if it's good i'll wait for a price drop

You know, before I picked it up, I thought it would be "just another platformer." I'm 3/4 of the way through the game and I think its a really good DS game. You need some fast stylus skills to change her emotions quickly in some cases (usually in boss battles). The game is really good at slowly introducing you to the game mechanic and then sending you off on your way. As far as replay, there are alot of things to get (unlockable mini-games, puzzles, even a concert mode where Peach and the toads do a concert (after unlocking hidden musical scores and SFX)).

I think its a real solid game to add to your DS collection.

thanks for your input

Right now i'm playing Monster in my Pocket for NES

Harvest moon: Back to Nature

I'm currently playing 'Star Control 2' for XBOX.
What's that you say? They don't make 'Star Control 2' for XBOX?

Wow, "modchips" are awesome!

On standby:
Shenmue II
Black
Gunstar Heroes

In limbo:
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

despite attempts by my university to make me do work i've found time to play mario forever and perfect dark zero.

I just got a bunch of NES Games in the mail and right now i'm playing Swords and Serpents.

Metal Gear online/Metal Gear 2(MSX, actually PS2 but its the MSX version)

I'm playing Gunstar Heroes (of course) and Road Rash 64.

Road Rash 64 is awesome

Yea I had to go and download Sugar Ray's Mean Machine from that! So far I'm on level 3 in my new career.

Well right now i'm playing Boogerman on Genesis

full completion of Super Mario Bros. 1

minimalist completion of the legend of Zelda.

I think i should play some Bionic Commando.

Ever considered playing a game for fun?

I tried Gunstar Heroes today. I'm not sure yet whether I like it or not, but it sure is a game with a LOT of action. The bosses I encountered until now weren't that difficult.

"Ever considered playing a game for fun?"

i find speedruns fun... but thats why i said Bionic Commando not for a speedrun.

now that i think of it, i should play some Gradius 3! i dont think i've ever beaten it.

Ever considered learning how to quote?

You could press the quote button, insert yo text, and hit it again. or, do it the proper way

=

yeah, I know, I'm too lazy to do that right now. stop criticizing me!
actually whatever, tell me about mistakes i make, I'm just stupid sometimes.

Metal Gear online, and a little of Snake eater.

Finished Wizards & Warriors II for like the 3oth time (I wish you could save your initials on those old NES Games), and picked up Taito Legends for PS2, mostly for Rastan. Another lovely game collection where you can't configure the #$!^ing buttons.

Playing Jade Empire, and I love it, love it, . I've decided to focus on pure martial arts with this character, and mess around with magic and transformations my second time through. As of now, the chi-stealing attack is mapped to my right arrow, heavenly wave to my 'down', legendary strike (almost max damage) 'left', thousand blades (max speed, some damage) 'up'.

Also, Henpecked Hou is my goddam . I use him for his sheer comedic brilliance.

Also playing MGS3, absolutely love everything about the gameplay, hate the fact that Snake is kind of a whiner, and I hate the Ace Combat 5-esque melodrama.

I also have fun seeing what I can do. Mainly, hunting. Caught a vampire bat yesterday, and had fun drowning some guards. But I missed my chance to kill The End early! Ah, well. I can always play through again.

Awesome collection, one that I bought mostly for Rastan as well I didn't find the controls frustating on that specific collection though, as jump and attack are placed in the proper order. Just about everyone knows though, so let it be known I feel your pain about unconfigurable buttons.

There's a reason he's sort of a whiner Hopefully you haven't read any spoilers on the web.

Anyway, I've been mostly playing some Metroid Prime Hunters and Tetris DS. Metroid Pinball gets played at bed-time

There's a reason he's sort of a whiner Hopefully you haven't read any spoilers on the web.

Nope, I don't ever read spoilers. Though I have to look at a plot analysis when I played Silent Hill 2. That game was crazy.

Silent Hill 2 is indeed crazy. It had some really spooky things going on in there. I remember the first time I did the row boat stage... wow. I had no clue what to do (look for the lighthouse), so I was just going in one direction for ~20 minutes! ha Yeah, that game rocks.

Stuck playing Oblivion, haven't even touched anything else.

DOOM Collector's Edition - right now i'm mostly working on Ultimate DOOM

hopefully the Gunz servers will be back up shortly, i'm going through withdrawl. i haven't own3d any n00bz in awhile

Got back into Street Fighter 2010 Anniversary collection for PS2 for now. I'm still trying to complete Third Strike w/all the characters. Those who've done this know what I'm talking about...

I am playing Dynasty Warriors Advance.

Right now i'm playing a little bit of Nightmare Creatures for the PS1

PS2 Capcom Classics. I have a PAL Capcom Classics PS1 set if anyone in Europe wants it...perfect condition with manual. I would need an NTSC format game in exchange, though, but I'm not greedy. Maybe NES Karnov???

Smart man

Playing God Of War to various metal soundtracks.
--------------------------------

Now Playing:

Call of duty 2.

Playing Zoo Keeper (DS) again.

Got mad at my other games. They don't play fair!

I'm playing Vectorman on Genesis

That game kicked serious ass.

Return to Castle wolfenstien for PC
i just started a Kingdom Hearts file, because watching my brother play the 2nd one made me wanna play it, and i read volume 1 of the manga.
and i also just got the guide.

got back into D2, will most likely be playing it for a couple months.

That game kicked serious ass.

Kick?

I believe you meant to say "Kicks ass", Something that game does to a level that is quite hard to match.

Hmm...at the very beginning, the initial poster said something "not from Atari," but this one's on Midway Arcade Treasures 2 now on PS2, and is a good game still-a friend and I played Gauntlet II last night up to level 75 before we got bored & quit. God, that theif pisses me off!

my friends and I can't get three player to work on the first one. Does it work on the second?

If you want to play .

You would, wouldn't you?

Stop talking about Xenophobe. I want to keep my lunch in.

my friends and I can't get three player to work on the first one. Does it work on the second?

..I have no idea, as I haven't gotten a multi tap yet. I know Gauntlet: Dark Legacy does because I played it with 3 other friends, and I remember that they switched all the locations of items around. I thought that was a neat feature, up until then I had played it by myself, I guess this keeps it from becoming too boring. This multi tap was my friend's, and he hasn't brought it over since I got this Gauntlet II.

That game kicked serious ass.Yeah it's awesome i still have not played Vectorman 2 though.

I am getting back into Eternal Darkness again.

Hang on, I'll take care of that stomach trouble right away.

Oh come on! Rampart rocks! It's a bit tough, but man, I really like that game.

What? It rock. Therefore, a dose of it will counteract the illness-inducing horror of Xenophobe. Note the careful, precise, and aesthetically appealing presentation.

Ha! I misread your post... or something.

Awright, now we're on the same track. Hell, Rampart's one of the very few games that I will viciously defend against criticism. Not even the Karnov game manages to inspire that in me.

Not to be understood, of course. I'd throw myself in front of a rabid pack of cannibals for Karnov ... just... not for the game.

I'm playing through Chrono Cross...again

I'm alternating between FF1 and Karnov. I'm actually playing FF1 for the first time. The neat backwards broom speak was a neat surprise, and that's precisely why I try to stay away from the FAQ sites if I can. I just re-acquired Karnov yesterday and forgot about the cool mask. Next time I get a roll of film I'll have to post a pic of my NES collection as it's much too big to list in a post.

Hey, let's not rule out the custom title... If I can be a 'Sinimortal', with a little Sinistar icon, I'll die happy.

I'm playing "New Zealand Story" and "Rainbow Islands" via the means of emulation.

Still spending lots of hours in Animal Crossing. Now that I paid all loans I can concentrate on charity )

still kingdom Hearts

and

the Movies, i made 3 hilarious custom movies.

the Movies, i made 3 hilarious custom movies.

Right now i'm playing Mighty Final Fight this is a really great game

the Movies, i made 3 hilarious custom movies.

once you buy(ingame) the post production and Custom scriptwriting its a Blast i stayed up all night 2 nights ago making movies and such, but i had to stop because robot chicken was on, and i had a friend over so i let him do a few. I filmed one with my digital camera and if anyone wants to see just let me know.

I'm playing "Seiken Densetsu DS: Children of Mana" right now.
As far as I can say now, it's a great game. The controls are easy to learn and the dungeons are nice. Music is ok. (Not as great as in Secret of Mana, which is my all-time Mana-favourite)

Just beat Chrono Cross, so I'm playing through a "new+" game. Also, Phantasy Star IV.

I just started playing Chakan The Forever Man on Genesis

CHakan is a sweet game,

right now im playing Super Ghouls n Ghosts, Fighters History, and F Zero.

I wish I could drive myself to play AC:WW but I played it everyday for about 4 months and now I am kind of tired of playing it.

Now Playing:

Megaman Battle Network 5: Double Team DS- I am on the Protoman story, and I am about 4 hours and 30 mins into the game.

That's awesome. In the past month I've played BSD, F:TMR, and ANOES. I'm currently playing G2. I think after that I'll move on to DJ&MH, even though I really don't want to. Maybe TR would be a better choice. We'll see.

Seriously, if a certain game isn't being discussed, don't just put it's initials on the page... put the name of the game. I'm sure most people don't like having to do a search to see what game is being talked about

Tommorrow I guess i'll be playing Animal Crossing too.

Maybe we should have a game acronym thread. I'm slow and retarded when it comes to the outside world and half the time when I see intials for games I don't know what the heck people are talking about. (I'm just way out of the loop).

But at least I know what "OOT" is so all hope isn't lost.

Rush 2049 (DreamCast). I forgot how much ass this game kicked. Seriously if any of you have a DC, GET THIS GAME.

Still playing FF1, for the first time. I just beat the ice cave and got the airship...
Where the hell is that 'POWer peninsula' that everyone talks about?
...With all the time and effort I've put into this game, I'm crossing my fingers that the battery doesn't die..please send me positve energy.

Super Mario Bros. 2 may be easy but i've never beat it. also it is my favorite mario game ever!

I love it, too... though I wouldn't call it my favorite. That honor would go to the ingenius little gem that is Superstar Saga.

Which is now a Players Choice title, so I plan to be buying it in the near future.

It is? Oh, good. I love the little thing. The play mechanics are just so damn quirky.

Metal Gear online, and timesplitters 3 future perfect.

I am playing Shadow for GameCube right now. I have a feeling Sega made this game this bad for a reason like the newst sonic games such as:
Sonic Heroes
Shadow
Sonic Riders
Are pretty much crap. I hope Sega does something right Next-Gen for the Wii. I enjoyed Sonic Rush for Nintendo DS Sega should gave them a call and ask them to make the Sonic game for Wii. if not and Sonic Team makes it we will be playing once more with the really lame ass Shadow.

I swear If I play one more bad Sonic game I will be so pissed I will stop playing Sega games Forever.....Well not forever but for awhile.

Sonic is a Sega property, Sega Contracted Dimps to create Sonic Rush, and Decided to use some foolish US team to develop Shadow. Sonic Team had nothing to do with Shadow.

The point I'm trying to get across is that Nintendo did nothing on Sonic Rush other than accept royalties for allowing it to be produced on the DS. Sega doesn't need to call anyone to get adVice on the production of the next game in the series.

They have, and will very likely continue to do so. Honestly, Sonic Team is named as such for a reason, but I do feel that experimentation should happen, or we'll just get endless rehashes of the same tired old crap.

I bought Sudeki and Fable together a while back. I really liked Fable and pretty much forgot about Sudeki until I was digging through my games this weekend trying to reduce entropy in my collection.

Sudeki actually plays pretty well, I didn't think the RPG/FPS would blend together well but they do. I think I bought the game for the eye-candy on the cover, but it plays great.

I am alternating between:
Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
Mario Kart DS
This evening I plan on starting Condemned.

I completed the surgery on my FF1 cart; the operation was successful and I'm playing that again. Also, thanx to NES Files (again) for the alcohol/Q-tip trick; I just went through all my games last night and they work better. Now I've just got to do the same thing to the connector inside the NES itself, but I was up several hours just doing the other stuff!

I am going to start
Kuon (PS2)

I borrowed it from a friend (who hasn't played it), does anybody know anything about it? Does it suck?

Kuon (PS2)

an average rating of 57/100 ... Looks like it does suck.

I'm playing Amped 3. It's pretty fun, but it's really weird (in a good way) especially for a snowboarding game. I've given up on Jekyll & Hyde for now, but I hope to pick it up later.

i popped in Dr. J and Mr. H earlier today , i'll probably play it some more tomorrow

I'm trying my luck in "Banjo Kazooie" (Japanese version) right now.

Ecco Jr.

Think what you will. I stand by my choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to keep my playful dolphin friends from stealing my treasure.
...
Damn dirty pirates.

Ecco Jr.

Think what you will. I stand by my choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to keep my playful dolphin friends from stealing my treasure.
...
Damn dirty pirates.The Ecco games are awesome right now i'm playing Ecco Defender of the Future on Dreamcast.

I'm alternating from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island to:
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde to:
Bubble Bath Babes and to:
Getting max level on FF1. What a combo.

Now that I've beaten Ecco Jr, I'm on a Genesis kick, and I decided to try out the Gargoyles game. (For those of you who don't remember, Gargoyles was a kick ass movie and TV show in the mid-late nineties.)

Now that I'm playing it...

First of all, the graphics are , and the animation is unbelievably fluid. The music, while nothing spectacular, are well-composed and fitting. The gameplay is standard platforming, but it's done very well, relying on climbing walls and "flying" (aka double jumping). The levels are interesting and well made (so far), and it has a nice difficulty level.

My only gripe is that it can be hard to hit enemies if you're too close, which the game often forces you to be.

Yoshi's Island (still; man, that little guy needs to SLOW DOWN).
And Casino Kid. Never played that one before, now I see where Daynum gets his Avatar/sig banner! This game is pretty cool.
I tried getting a Genesis emu and the Gargoyles NES ROM to check it out, the results were pretty dismal--no sound, and when Gargoyles went into the game part, no picture.

Which emulator did you use?

Right now I'm playing the Gunstar Heroes game I won from Luke. Thanks again man

I just started playing Karnov

It was Xega v.0.10 For Windows.

Nix the Xega. Get Fusion, or Gens.

I shall do that. Thanks for the tip.

Reverse that...Karnov is now playing YOU.

You could have stopped after .

Heh-heh! Yeah, and Gens was the one I picked! I noticed it was leaving all sorts of garbage on my desktop, but it worked. I read the report on it above, though, and I quickly dowloaded Fusion. Thanks!

ya, well Gesn was posted ater Fusion was.
any way I read a study wehre they said taht peopel coud read mispelled words at work so it dosnt matter i my grammart isn't rigr=ht.

Uber Newb: 3
Carnage: 0

Zing! Retort, anyone?

Not a retort; more of an agreement--
Bad spelling hurts the eyes. Especially if you've been watching a computer screen all day long. The Carnage posts have snapped my brain in half and have exploded my eyeballs in their sockets.

I have been playing alot of POWer Stone 2. I like it but 1P mode is really short.

Currently in my (lacking as of late) free time, I'm working on Destroying All Humans. Those things are like cockroaches... Kill one, and 50 more appear.

Just wait until the 'G-Men' and mutants show up.

Oh, and the score's been updated.

Uber Newb: 5
The Modder Formerly Known as Carnage: 0.5

Insert more gloating at your leisure.

I trust we're talking about a video game...but then again, ah, there's just no way to finish this paragraph without sounding like a homicidal maniac.

Crypto sounds alot like Jack Nicholson.

"Zap-O-Matic?" "Harvest brain stems?" "Use animals, humans, etc., for research?"
Sounds like a winner to me.

Oh, it is. Unfortunately, as a game it just seems... well, limited. There should have been more to it.

"Zap-O-Matic?" "Harvest brain stems?" "Use animals, humans, etc., for research?"
Sounds like a winner to me.

Well, so much for Tomb Raider Legend being "the last game I get for PS2," as soon as I quit being broke, this one will be mine. It just sounds to good to pass over.

Im currently in the process of replaying through Suikoden 4 for the PS2. I am getting all the 108 stars of destiny this time and getting the good ending. Man im such a Suiko freak. And im also trying to get through Operation C on the old Gameboy, which is another great Contra game.

I'm not sure what you mean.

That's a description I'd use for something like Gun. I've been playing Destroy All Humans! for a while now, and I'm onlt 25% through, there's a nice selection of weapons, missions are nice and balanced, freedom is awesome (think GTA without car stealing, you play as an alien with crazy weapons, and you can asplode heads with your mind)

It awesome, but once get all the upgrades, the only real challenges will be the incredibly irritating enemies who can see through your Holo-Bob. And once you beat it, there's really not much else to do. True, it's fun to revisit areas, but since the areas don't respawn, the fun only lasts so long. And the extra missions get old after a while.

It would have been nice to have had some sort of extra features, like the ability to replay missions with higher difficulty, or .

Ecco Jr.

Think what you will. I stand by my choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to keep my playful dolphin friends from stealing my treasure.
...
Damn dirty pirates.
What is the objective with these games? I got Ecco (just plain Ecco for Genesis), and swam around like a dumbass. I know there's got to be more to it than just shooting jellyfish...cool graphics.

The Ecco games involve the eventual confrontation with the Vortex. Ecco Jr. involves simplified versions of Ecco gameplay, without the aimless wandering.

I love the last level of ECCO 1 for MEGA DRIVE. I also love Tides of time for Game Gear more so then the tides of time fo MEGA DRIVE. I would love to see a new ECCO game on Wii or maybe the XBOX 360.

I just started playing Jurassic Park Operation Genesis on the Xbox

I was just playing Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on the good ol' Dreamcast, made it a little past the singing lady, half way through the next level. I'm not gonna give up, I so have to see what the ending is like to this game.

I dealt out 7 hours of my life to Final Fantasy 2 yesterday, as predicted, once I played that first one, I knew I was going to have to play the rest of them. I do not like the way the plot forces you into certain things in this one. I do not know how I managed to survive the Antlion cave and battle. Luck, that's all.

Being such a fan, you should grab for sure. You could probably even find it cheap now.

Cool link! Oh, yes, to be sure, this one is on my List. I really like some of the changes they made, and usually I don't like the tampering that goes on with a game with its arrival to a different game system, but somehow, in this case it's OK (a major factor being that the graphics are much improved).

Well, I can't tolerate FF1 on the NES, but the Dawn of Souls version is nice and easy to play. No more buying armour without knowing who can use it!

Basically, it's FF1 running in the style of the SNES FF games.

Dawn of souls is pretty sweet.

I am now playing Tony Hawk's American sk8er land for NDS.

Dawn of souls is pretty sweet.

I am now playing Tony Hawk's American sk8er land for NDS.

I was wondering if that was any good. I was considering picking it up just for the WiFi play, but I don't know anyone else that owns it, and uses WiFi.

For 24.00CDN Brand new at Wal-Mart. It is hella worth it. Get it and I play you Online.

I was alternating through too many to mention the past few days, but I think I've settled on these three for now:
Final Fantasy 2
Super Mario RPG (Wicked fun; I didn't even know this one existed).
Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt for NES. This one looks eerily like "The Addams Family" for SNES...

I gave up on The New Super Mario Bros. I didn't beat SMB 1 (or 2 or 3) so why did I think I was going to win this one???

So now I'm going to work on Mario and Luigi : Partners In Time (DS). Hopefully it'll be much nicer to me.

Currently playing Megaman X8. Not too bad of a game (especially for $3), but the final boss(s) is a pain in the you know what. And I can't unlock some of the metals I'm sure once I beat it I will have some new ability or something.

C'mon, it's not hard at all, it's standard SMB. Yoshi's Island is MUCH harder (and, for the record, much better in my opinion)

Well, I only recently discovered that there was an NES game based on Asterix, and I promptly tracked down the NES ROM... and it's everything I could have hoped it would be.

Today, I'm going to lay all the NES ROMs aside and my wife and I are going to play SMB 3 together until the end (she'll probably only participate until her patience snaps, I figure around the level where the big fish are always flying up and gobbling you).

I've given up playing "Amped 3" for now. It's starting to get tiring, the challenges are all the same, just on a different Mountain. I was hoping for something like 1080 Avalanche. I may trade it in tommorow, for Call Of Duty 2, or the new Tomb Raider.
For now (or rather when I find my gameboy) i'm going to be working on Links Awakening, and Pokemon yellow.

Megaman 3. I cant beat the last boss, i dont even know how to damage him!

I got back to "Big Brain Academy" (japanese version) again. That's also a very nice piece of software and worth picking up when it hits the shelves over there.
I think I could get better results there if I could play it in German. In the Japanese version my "brain weight" (not age

I'm playing the translated NES ROM of Dragon Buster II right now... I can't tell if I like it yet.

I ). It's also a topdown adventure/dungeoncrawler, which is a good thing, in my opinion. I also like that you just move from dungeon to dungeon on the simple main map in any order you choose (sort of. You're limited by obstacles and dungeons in your way). You also have only arrows, and have to conserve them. They also ricochet, adding a little strategy to the game. It also has good music (when any even plays).

On the other hand, the dungeons are randomly generated, meaning that you will be exploring six carbon copies of two dungeons in the first world. Also, the dungeon layout loops, and there are little to no landmarks (except maybe one disfigurement on one wall, or maybe a wierd corner) so it's easy to get disoriented. Outside of that, the incessant, neutral-pitched drumming of your footsteps is a potent psychological torture deVice, and I'm not sure how to beat the last boss (other than flailing wildly).

I saw it at EB when I was there on... Wednesday? Wikipedia sez it released on the 5th.

Is it better than Brain Age? the writing detection and voice recognition made me just delete my profile and never touch the "game" again.

That depends on what you like.
Big Brain Academy doesn't depend so much on voice and writing. So in that way it's better I guess.
The training "games" are also a bit more fun than in Brain Training.
I personally like Big Brain Academy more.
(Maybe you should find a shop where you can try it before buying.)

Currently playing: DDr. Mario Mix

Overall: my only complaint is it's too easy in general, but I guess this is a training tool for all the mainstream ddr players who will see this as a fad and just pass by.(sorry, I was ranting again)

NOW PLAYING:
SIMS 2 DS, REVIEW: I really enjoy this game. Some Reviewers gave this game a crappy score but I love many things about this game. Not the same as the PC version and it's not a port of the GBA version which is great. Everyone speaks Sim-ish. You run a hotel and try to get people to come into your hotel ans stay for a night or so. There is also Muti-play only for trading.

Rent or Buy?: Buy!

Overall:
I enjoyed this game so much. Tons of missions which you won't be able to beat the game in an hour or so..This game will keep you busy for hours, days,and even months!

How long did it take for you to conquer it?

Started playing Captain SkyHawk for the first time, and it rules. Varied gameplay, nice plane animation, smooth control, and 8-bit pseudo 3D stages. What the hell more could I want?

I have not Conquerd it yet.

I think I'm going to VIO (Video Game Overdose), because I'm in way over my head with too many at once:
Dawn Of Souls, FF2 SNES, Rygar arcade version, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, and Night Warriors Darkstalker's Revenge.
Help! Intervention! My eyes hurt!

VIO = VGO?

Yeah, that's how tired I was. It's getting warmer around here, and the sleep ratio goes into the negatives for me in hot weather.

I connected my Super Famicom and am now playing Mario's Super Picross.
Very addicting.

Whuzzat?

Start up your SNES emulator, get the NES ROM and try it! Very addicting puzzle game.

Well, I just spent a pleasant afternoon playing Metamorphic Force, and I have this to say:
HOLY CRAP, THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
And, somehow I missed it when it was new in the arcade. If you haven't played it, you must check it out. Think Altered Beast meets Double Dragon.

Been playing Fire 'n Ice. It's an addictive little game. Always have to play "just one more level".

For the past 4 hours, I've been playing this:

Demon's Crest. It's a spinoff of the Ghosts 'N' Goblins series, for SNES. Up until 4 hours ago, I didn't even know these existed (there's also Gargoyle's Quest for Gameboy, and Gargoyle's Quest 2 for NES).
The hero is actually that red demon that's so annoying in the GNG series!

they're great games but, god are they hard! i started Demon's Crest but gave up, it get's stupid hard and makes no sense early on in the game.

Gargoyle's Quest 2 is the best in the series, but it too gets pretty hard.

good luck with them

Right now i'm playing Call Of Duty 2, for the xbox 360. This game is seriously awesome and is prehaps best (definately one of the best) game on the 360 as far.

Making my way through X-Men Legends again, seeing as how my save file on the sequel is on someone else's X-box.

they're great games but, god are they hard! i started Demon's Crest but gave up, it get's stupid hard and makes no sense early on in the game.

Gargoyle's Quest 2 is the best in the series, but it too gets pretty hard.

good luck with them
Heh. I figured it would get hard, since the GNG series is pretty hard itself.
My main problem with this SNES one is getting the timing right with the head butts. What a weird game!

i've been playing Pokemon LeafGreen lately, before i stopped playing it i was at teh 1337 f0ur!!1! right now i', working on leveling all my dudes up to win. it's going to take awhile

Hey Jenni is that Duel Masters game any good?

I just started playing Diddy Kong Racing. I got this game a few years ago but never finished it, so that is now my mission.

Akumajou Dracula X: Chi No Rondo

It was one hell of a pain to get it, but it was worth it. Just pwned Shaft and all the original Castlevania bosses, so it's on to the Clock Tower.

Clock Tower was fun, Welcome to the Files!

I believe he's referring to a clock tower section in a game you've never played, since it was never released over here. and was on a pretty obscure console.

I started play Kingdom Hearts on the PS2. So far, the game is total ownage. I'm like... 6 hours in, and I just started yesterday.

Heh. I recieved as a gift Kingdom Hearts II quite awhile ago, and have yet to play it, as I'm way into NES & MAME emulation at present; I'm sure I'll love it, though. The first one was awesome.
Speaking of NES, I finally found a game I forgot the title to that I owned back in the '80's--City Connection. I finally found it after months of searching; I've been obsessed with that little car & balloons ever since!
MAME version is also great.

City Connection is a good little game. not many people like it though

I play Version 2 for Dreamcast. I wonder how the C.A.R.D one for Game Cube is like? And how is PSO on Xbox is it better then the DC and GCN versions?

New Super Mario Bros. - just got it, haven't had a chance to start, but will tonight.

Pokemon LeafGreen - right now i'm in the process of leveling everyone up, evolving all the dudes that can be evolved, and then it's on to teh 31337 4 . seriously.

It's an action game... a very successful action game... and then someone said, hey, let's see what'll happen if we make it a . Yeah. Everyone loves card games, amirite? AMIRITE?! ... Yep. I'm right.

Hm? Oh. No, I haven't actually played it, I'm just ranting.

A bunch of Fighting games for my Saturn.
Sega Rally
Daytona USA
Guardian Heroes

I finally tried that Magic Carpet Saturn game....and i hated it.

Last Bronx
NiGHTS

a couple others.

Really? What was bad about the Magic Carpet game?

...

And on a side note, I do hope you're at least playing The Fighting Vipers.

started playing Gunz again. i made a new character, and one of my friends downloaded it last night. so we've been playing together.

Without me?!?!?! What level did you stop at with your old character?

Actually i played fighting Vipers earliar...

Magic cArpet was boring...u just fly around i couldnt find the point in the game....the controls were ass.

Without me?!?!?! What level did you stop at with your old character?

i don't remember now. i had 2 logins. i think the one i used to use got banned or something. everytime i'd try to log in with it Gunz would close.

There was a scare of people deleting/ruining built characters, maybe that is what happened to you? Damn hackers.

I was/am at level 24. You get to play in a BUNCH of new arena's with a much harder group of players. I just kinda lost interest in it, talking about it again makes me wanna play it now... I just might have to.

still playing NEW Super Mario Bros..... man, this game is pretty tough. of course i give up easy though. i have the habbit of turning off the DS whenever i die, so that kinda holds me back alot. right now i'm in world 3. i like it so far... the only problem i've seen is the controls are too tight. it doesn't feel like a true SMB.

Pokemon LeafGreen.... i'm taking my time, leveling all my dudes up to 50+ so i can fight teh 31337 four

Gunz, but my computer doesn't have internet at the moment, so i got that one on hold. (just when i was starting to get the hang of it again

Thats so true, the controls don't feel like an SMB game. And playing as Luigi is pretty much the same as Mario which also sucks. But its still an good game.

I found it was quite the opposite. The controls were too loose for my liking, MUCH more so than any previous SMB game. New SMB feels kinda... floaty...

last night i realized another thing i don't like..... on the touch screen you can hold an item, but only 1 item! how lame is that!?! they should be able to rack up like in SMB3

It's supposed to be like in SMW. If you hadn't noticed, the game is essentially SMW with a few throwbacks to SMB1.

yeah, which is pretty dumb considering it's supposed to be a Super Mario Bros. game, not WORLD. they should of made it more like SMB3, with different levels and plot.

Well, I got a cheap ass PS1 game off the internet, a certain "Deathtrap Dungeon". I got it because I had five bucks left on a Barnes and Noble gift card, it was four bucks, and it was " Deathtrap Dungeon". You know, the guy who did the Battle Adventure books.

Anyway, I got to try it out, and man, this game's a gem. As soon as I popped it in, I realized just how much I missed tank controls in adventure games. Something about slowly turning towards the opponent and trying to line up a shot just makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.

Oh, and the kidding you), the nefarious adversaries will block you at every turn.

In it's own right, it's fun. The "puzzles" are ridiculous, but they do their damndest to try and distract you from the fact that you're pushing a switch. Also, the game is moderately gorey. There's just something about hacking both legs off of someone with gobs of blood splattering the wall...

Anyway, I'm stuck in a hallway with a bunch of enemies and only six health.

Currently playing Trojan for the NES. When I was younger I couldn't even get past the 1st board (sometimes did). I think I just didn't give it a chance. I was able to get to the final boss last night, but died (2 hits at full life and you are dead). Pretty fun game though.

wrong thread?

since i've gotten internet again, i've been playing Gunz alot. last night i was in a game for almost 2 hours. first with 100 kills wins, and i won.... with a mere 99 deaths

my DS is still in a box somewhere in the garage waiting to be found. when i find it i'll be playing NEW Super Mario Bros. again. i'm gonna try and work on 100% completion. i've got all the worlds beat, i'm still working on getting all the coins and unlocking all the mushroom huts and extra levels.

Huh. I've got this game for PS1 as well, and its strategy guide, and I've never been able to finish it. I should try it out again, my patience level has risen a lot in the last few years.
Anyway, I'm bullying my way through Legend Of Zelda (literally; I got the blue ring, magic book, medicine, white sword, all the available heart containers, etc. before even taking on the first labyrinth).
A little overkill, but I just like "all the edge I can get."
...Thanks to "Dirty" Harry Callahan for that phrase...

Gunz - level 13!! i've been playing this alot. it's really addicting.

i found the box with my DS in it today so i'll be playing NEW Super Mario Bros. again.

I just beat the gayass minotaur level, and the novelty is really starting to wear off. I'm ending up with only six health left and limitless cheap enemies before me.

Final Fantasy 1. For NES. Dawn of Souls was too easy.

still playing Gunz, i'm up to level 15. got some good stats and good guns. this game is addicting. i reccommend it.

started back up on NEW Super Mario Bros. after a week or so without playing it. i need a new DS game

last night or earlier today (i can't remember) i played Gun.Smoke for a little bit, it seemed harder than i remembered.

Well, I'm playing Dragon's Lair (Sega CD) right now, and . I never figured that complete trial and error could be so damn addicting. I've been killed by the same bubble monster at least fifteen times in a row today, I still can't beat the bastard, and yet I keep playing.

Fired up my Gamecube, popped in Thousand Year Door, deleted all files other than my super-tricked out completely beaten one (complete with full party and the Waluigi costume) and started beating it as fast as I could. Still trying to elimate the whole "talking to people" thing.

I finally got Resident Evil Back after a year or so... I started all over and missed the gory "YOU ARE DEAD" Screen...

*sigh*

the other day i finally started Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. i'm about 50% done with it, and don't know where to go .

i'm kinda pissed i beat Dawn of Sorrow before starting AoS, but what can ya do?

Been Playing alot of GUN, I can sum it up in a Two word Review:

.

As soon as I beat GUN I will move onto RE 4.

hurry up and beat GUN because RE4 is quite possibly "the best game ever made ever."

You've had Gun for more than a day and aren't at 100% completion? What's the problem?

RE4 is absolutely nothing like the other pieces of shit in the series, 4 is actually playable. Shouldn't take more than 20 hours to get through it the first time.

I haven't beaten Gun yet because I have been very busy with other things and work. And my little Brother has been playing alot of Lego Star Wars II on my GCN. We have two GCN's. I will Hook the other one up and beat Gun today hopefully, No work today.

Hey, has anyone played Okami yet? I've read the reviews, but what I want to know is if these "endearing side quests" are what I suspect them to be; trussed up fetch quests.

There is one thing I am worried about.. I couldn't stand the other RE games.
Like the controls really got to me..I wonder if this version will change the way I think of the RE games. As I heard from many people that RE 4 is the best RE Game ever made. How long is this game 200+ Hours?

i too don't like any of the other RE games, this one is totally different. the controls are nice, the camera angles are nearly perfect. the game took me around 22 hours to beat the first time, and about 19 the second time.

Yeah, RE1 (it's the only one I've played) is dismal. Two words spring to mind: MORE AMMO, PLEASE! Well, 3 words !
I'm playing Ninja Gaiden 1 (and fast finding out that I suck at it even more now than when I first purchased it), LOZ, and Puzzle Bobble 1 and 3. Tomb Raider Legend is currently on ice until I can concentrate on one game!

Currently playing nothing now that i'm out of my harvest moon phase and into my 10 month school phase considering selling my game collection to support other hobbies.

Ha! I don't any other hobbies. My collection is safe.

Is Fishing one of your hobbies, OGTL? I want to start to go fishing as another Hobbie besides collecting and Gaming.

Oh and EvilNes nice avatar maybe you should smile?

This would ruin all what makes the photo so great.

Destiny of an Emperor. A reasonably interesting RPG.

I'm near to finishing Spiritual Warfare, a surprisingly decent bible game. Hopefully converting a bunch of video game heathens will help get me into heaven.

This would ruin all what makes the photo so great.

I was kidding. But yes he does look bad a$$ thank God he is on our side!

I should have known you're kidding by the smiley in your post.

I'd take photos of me with stuff, too, but I fear I won't look cool, but only extremely nerdy.

I'm playing Capcom Fighting Evolution and mostly Warzard/Red Earth. This is one of the best fighting games I've ever played; it's really disappointing that Capcom never ported it to a home console. Beat it 3 times with Leo and about 6 times with Tessa (Tabasa in Japanese; a friend tells me that Tabasa means, roughly, Tabitha in Japanese language, I think they made a 'Bewitched' connection there).

Counter Strike Source
Phantom Hourglass
Super Metroid.(kinda.....everytime i play i beat it)
