I know we have the catch all thread, but I figured this could attract folks who don't play current games.

 

Anyone wanna share some memories of games they played out? Or how about games that pissed them off but they kept trying to play it anyway?

 

I'll start....

 

I don't have much patience so I never had a lot of the latter, but back in the day Blades of Steel was the **** on my NES. If I wasn't playing that I was playing some Jordan vs Bird and failing at the dunks, Tecmo Bowl.

 

Almost forgot, SUPER PUNCH OUT~!!~!!!! Who didn't love that game?

 

Raise that hand nice and high so we can all point and laugh...

Zombies Ate My Neighbors was an awesome game -- did anybody ever beat it all the way through without using a cheat?

 

The old NHL games were the s***, too. Fighting was amazing. I was always either the Penguins or the Hawks -- the Jagr/Lemieux combo was just too good to pass up.

Super punch out was fantastic. Ken Griffey Jr. baseball for Super Nintendo might be the best game ever.

 

What about Shaqfu?

It always pissed me off when the orange car would take off in RC Pro-Am.

Honestly, even if you don't like Hockey, the video games kick ass no matter what. I've always loved Hockey and Soccer video games.

I know this was in a game, and I think it was that version of Griffey, but you could run the outfielder into the wall and you'd hear this thud and the guy would go down. It was like the Pods in Oakland play from this year but only funnier.

Yup, that was definitely from that game. Oh man, I'd love to play that game right now.

I know when my friend and I would play soccer games on N64 we'd slide tackle guys all game long and win 2-1.

 

Another one that just came to mind was NBA Jam. The arcade was good, but the I wanna say Sega/Super Nintendo version was awesome as well.

NES Punch Out. I remember never getting past Soda Popinski on the console and getting so pissed off. On an emulator, I beat the damn game.

 

 

Ken Griffey for SNES remains the greatest sports game ever. Too awesome. U. Josh owned all.

 

Ice Hockey for NES gives it a run for its money though.

I'm marking out for my youth reading this thread.

I could imagine you cutting a promo after the loss, but mixing in political comments for the time.

Was U. Josh, Frank? I loved how teams had different themes for their players names. Good times indeed.

Anyone ever make it to the final level of Super Mario 3? I went back and played it last year, and the last level is so intense.

Yeah, U. Josh was Frank. And he killed in that game.

NHL 94 baby. The wrap around move with Jeremy Roenick combined with Eddie the Eagle between the pipes= I was unbeatable. Castlevania was also money (especially 1 and 3 for NES), Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 for SNES (3 SUCKED though), and in terms of at the arcade, I was unstoppable on any form of Tekken (King FTW!!), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, NBA Jam, and The Simpsons. And amen on hockey and soccer video games Rowand, as well as Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball for Super NES. And of course, any Super Mario Bros. for NES and/or SNES.

Every game ended in something like a 18-15 score, but yeah, that game was awesome. Nothing beat the cheap rap around goals in that game.

Yeah!

So I recently fell in love again. I love shooters. Old school shooters. Contra-types. And now they're making Contra IV for the DS? Mmhmm

I have no idea why, but I always loved when the game was over, seeing the newspaper come up with some lame headline...

 

Those were pretty good!

Ah yes, Griffey on SNES..

Lol, ya. How about the homerun trots when they were getting near homeplate? Haha, I definitely need to find my super nintendo when I go back home.

Belfour was so awesome on that game, he could hold a team to 5 or 6 even if they did wrap arounds all game. I'd usually win about 10-5, just about unbeatable with the Hawks. I loved getting penalties too, Bernie Nicholls and his incredibly slow speed always caught the opponent off guard with the change of pace, it was like the hockey version of pitching Joel Zumaya and Jamie Moyer back to back.

The Simpsons.

 

Great f***ing game. I LOVED the part where you got a bucket of tomatoes and would throw them at people walking by the school. I know there were a bunch of Simpsons games, but that particular game was awesome -- IIRC, it was sort of a collection of mini-games.

I've still got World Series Baseball '96 for Sega Genesis at my Dad's house, what a great game. That middle of the order with Thomas, Ventura, Tartabull, and Baines CAN NOT BE STOPPED. And of course, with Officer Karkovice behind the plate, nobody is stealing bases. Also, Manny Ramirez is on the cover of that game. DAMN he's been good for a long time.

Anyone who uses the wraparound in 94 is a cheap son of a b****. It's a complete glitch...that game was on NHL 06 (for PS2 at least) and we played it a ton...if you don't allow that cheap bulls*** the games are actually fun and intense instead of a retard-fest.

 

BTW, I'll beat you at that game anywhere, anytime.
