What was your video game of choice growing up?

[MCG321]

I could never play Super Mario in 3D after the great years in 2D. Same with some crappy Sonic game I tried on a next-gen system.

Sonic Adventure? I thought that game was pretty good... except when you had to play as a couple characters... like that one cat who had to go fishing. I couldn't stand that.

Unless you're talking about Sonic Jam on the Saturn - although that was only 3D in the non-game areas... hoo, Sonic Jam was awesome... had all the really good Sonic games on one disc...

I remember really liking Mario 64 - I haven't played it recently to see if it still holds up, though. The old Mario NES and SNES games will always be the best.

Heh, remember Sonic Spinball?

I'm not that old.

Play Station. NFL Gameday '98, NFL Blitz (the original), Triple Play '98, NBA Shootout '98, NHL something or other


Yes, I was a elementary school sports buff. And yes, I went on a shopping spree on video games made in 1998.


Also, I played Crash Bandicoot (the original). Good game.

I also remember for my NES that I had Blades of Steel was fun, also the Ice hockey where you were one of 6 countries.

As for the hoops games I had and loved Double Dribble, Archrivals (where you could beat the heck outta the guy and slide on spilled drinks) and NBA Jam...

Those were pretty fun too.

Yes I remember Double Dribble had a glitch on it where if you shot a 3pt on the left going out of bounds you hit it everytime. I used to rack up the points playing that game. Man that was good times.

OMG! I love Mike Tyson's punch out. I used to play it all the time when I was in elementary school. I remember when I broke my wrist in 5th grade, I learned to play the game one handed with the controller on the ground. It took forever but I finally got good and beat the game with one hand

haha i just saw this.....thats insane. its hard enough to beat tyson with 2 hands. thats some dedication
