Inspired by The Video Game Thread...I'm dedicating this thread to 20th century gaming.
Not limited to, but focusing on games made for consoles and platforms introduced in the 1900s.

I'm just going to leave this here

The game that changed everything.

Everytime I play 2d fighters I'm brought back to the boardwalk or local Blimpie.

Mostly the latter...

Crowd of at least a half dozen...until the azns show.

Row of quarters up.

Cigarettes burning in ashtrays.

Dudes getting heated and hurt feelings, storming off mad to stuff their face and the shame of being perfect ko'd.


Man....good times.

Every match with my friends ever:
HADOUKEN
HADOUKEN
SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM
HADOUKEN
SONIC BOOM
HADOUKEN
HADOUKEN
SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM
EUUUUUUUAUUAUAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH

I really didn't play much of the 2d fighters, except for a little Double Dragon when I was at the arcade and bored. And the bowling alley near my house had Bad Dudes, which was cool. TMNT was the only other one I ever played.

But on a related note, I just downloaded the original Final Fantasy on my iPhone and I'm about 4 hours in. I fucking love that game.

^Whoa I never knew that was available for SNES. I only remember playing it on school computers.


Last weekend I FINALLY beat Startropics. I was able to get to Zoda as a kid but never could beat him.

The play control is almost the level of rage that is Conker's Bad Fur Day. But man, good times...

This song has been stuck in my head all week:

I have an n64 with a slowly growing list of games for it. My landlord also has a 3DO somewhere in the basement that I can use if I can find the damn thing. I found a stack of games, including the original Need for Speed, but I can't find the damn console.

That contraption looks like it's ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD!

Also, well played
and I'd quote it all
but long post is long.

Really excited for the Remake

Right as I posted my list I thought of 10 more games I wanted too add too it

Earthworm Jim was a game that needs its own category. I loved everything about it but never fully completed it. Just adding to the list of a 100 games I need to complete.
