AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Oh lord I was just about to talk about Links Awakening. I swear, when I got my Game boy color off ebay back in 98 or 99, it came with a few games. Only ones I actually remember are pokemon red (fuckawesome, but you probably already knew that), super mario bros deluxe (pretty neat, specially since I never owned an NES so it was as close to the original game as I ever got for quite some time), and Link's Awakening DX. I bought a different copy of super mario bros deluxe a few years ago, and I dunno whatever happened to my pokemon red game, but I still have that old link's awakening cartridge.

Never beat it though, though it doesn't help that I didn't put much effort into ever beating it until about 08. and I still keep forgetting to actually play it most every day.

Soul Reaver series.

i was so sad when the voice actor for the elder god died

my childhood only consisted of old wrestling games, Yoshis Island and Goldeneye multiplayer

it was a good childhood

Oh my god Chex Quest. I pointed my dad to the fact you could download it for free about two months ago.

He hasn't done anything else since. >_>

do you guys remember the sprites from the first pokemon games? goldbat gave me nightmares

**Golbat

only two things can come from golbat: Nightmares or Tounge Fetishes.

Golbat have so much mouth, is there even a digestive system?

Or a brain?

explains how TR was able to catch them.

Loooove this game. I'd spend a long time talking about older games that I love, so I'll jsut do it little by little.

The C64 was the best system of my childhood. More hours were sunk into Exile than any other game. Mike Finn being a badass and holy shit physics. Real physics, probably the first pretty accurate physics engine I ever encountered. Also it was huge. I mean fucking huge. It was seed generated so every game looked nothing like the next (except for scripted areas, that daisies boulder) and some of the first complicated enemy ai in a video game.


It was a hallmark of my childhood and the bench-line I use for all other games. I should look for a rom of it...

8D!!!! 64 has so freakin' awesome games! makes me wish for a lobotomy just so i can play them all for the first time again![/img]

Oh man, the N64...



I don't know about you guys... but this game was my most favorite... still is actually. Sometimes, I'll pull out the N64 and invite my friend over to play through the co-op campaign.

Edit: Thought I would write a little bit more, seemed a bit small.

The campaign on this game wasn't too long, but you also were drawn into each mission well if you were aiming for all the bonus pick-ups (must find more tank bucks arghh), and in my last co-op run, the fastest level completion time we had was about 10 minutes, where we had been rushing to the end due to time constraints. The tank bucks system of buying tank lives was kinda annoying if you didn't search high and low for the pickups, leaving you with the worst tanks if you aren't OCD about collection.

As for multi-player, I didn't get much player versus player experience, mostly just playing the team based mode against computers for fun. Most of these team battles turned very chaotic and unpredictable, which was quite a lot of fun for me to partake in. (1 vs 1 went fairly slow when I did play them, although that could just be attributed to us dodging each other constantly throughout the fight.)
Then there was also the Capture-The-Flag mode, but it didn't work well with the maximum 4-player factor of the '64, often I found myself harassing one enemy base, only to find my flag missing upon return.

Graphics were fair for the time, it would have been hard to expect chaotic combat with exceptional graphics at the time though.

Urgh so much nostalgia now



Glad I still have my original cartridge and N64... think I'll go play it now.
