I don't know if this has been posted before, but if it has, it hasn't for a while. Anyways, do you have any great memories with gaming? I know I do. I remember when I was in Pre-K, I would come home, and I would play Super Mario Bros, with my mom. I would be Mario, and my mom would be Luigi. We could always get to around the 5-7 world before we saw the gameover for both of us.
Also, when I got older, I use to play hockey with my brother, and my one friend all the time. We would come inside, and play Mario Party, or Super Smash Bros, or Mario Kart 64. We would have a blast. We would also play Goldeneye. Those games cunsomed our lives. :)
As of right now, me and my other brother, are really into Super Smash Brothers Melee. I guess I'm starting new memories :) .


Also, (about the one topic where it says ""why do you still play your NES and other older systems"") I think memories is a big reason to still play older games.

Oh, i sure do. I remember i rented Zelda: The Orcarina of Time so many times, im sure i could have bought it twice with all the money i spent renting it constantly :lol: then when i finally got my own cart, my friend who was kind of a zelda-whiz (he had beaten OoT 5 times at the age of eight) He came and helped me with the temples. i also remember going to my cousins house a long time ago and playing SMB 3. :D

When both me and my brother were younger all we did was play video games. I'm older and he was never as good as me and could never beat me , except once. F-Zero, we would use the practice mode to compete and see who could get the best time in mute city. It was an ongoing battle. I would smash his time only to come back later and find he had trounced mine. Then one day I did the unthinkable, when he had thought he had me with an incredible time I ran a PERFECT run, and damn it was PERFECT. No mistakes, boost was used in all the right places, ramps were used to maximum effect, and there was nary a drag in any of the corners. I thought and bragged that he would never beat it. I was wrong. My brother may have long since abandoned gaming in favor of these things called "girls", but he will forever be the F-Zero king in my eyes. Little *%$#@ always was a better driver. I don't think I ever even tried to go back and beat it. Believe me when I say it would have been a futile effort

Button masher extraordinaire

too many memories to list.

i'll just say there were many good times with mario kart 64

That reminds me of my brother, my friend, and I always use to play Smash Bros. We would play "break the targets", and "form the platforms". We would go back and forth trying to beat each other records, and it was so fun. Thinking how fun it was makes me sad that its over :( . Anyways, today, I hold all the records on that game 8) .

Too hard? :lol:

I guess he must have stopped before he got used to controlling the vacuum. The only thing even slightly challenging in that game is the final boss.

I didn't think it was a hard game, but just a game you pick up and play for a while. Its hard to get stuck, so you just keep on playing, and its fun.

I don't ever remember being any good at games as a kid, but one thing that has always hung in my memory is when I was four and my dad rented Castlevania III. I remember waking from a nightmare at three in the morning, and afterwards went down to play that game on our TV. I must've played for at least half an hour before my dad found me, but for that half of an hour, I was in love with the game. I only recently got my own copy (Castlevania I for Castlevania III to my friend who breathes Castlevania), and being able to beat games that seemed insurmountable as a child...it's a great feeling.

Now, my greatest memory in the making is playing Ice Hockey against my best friend. He is a God at every game he touches, but for some reason this game levels the playing field to both of us. We play like our very lives depend on us scoring a goal, and our hands ache from the constant struggle to control the goalie and to beat the other in a fight. New games are useless to compare, I never feel as passionate about a game than when I'm playing Ice Hockey.

My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

I remember playing Faxanadu and Star Tropics for the first time, the one 2 games that actually hooked me that were not mario games :lol:

I have faith in the NEW Marlins!

Too many great memories but Im sure we can all share that final day when a rented game had to be returned. I was only allowed to rent games Friday nights and the game had to be returned monday. I would set my alarm 30 minutes earlier monday morning to get my final game in before school. My mom would return the game while I was at school.
