You actually played 18 hours straight? Or is this just a turn of phrase

Even 8 hours is serious gaming.

Yeah, 8 hours on NES games is serious gaming.

I think I spent 80% of my free time during middle school playing one of my favorite NES games, The Legend of Kage. Watching videos of the game gives me nostalgic chills. I might have to make that $50 investment.

As for peeps who who need a working retro console; this game store in my area sells these kick ass NES/SNES combo systems. I don't have one myself (my SNES still works), but they seem like a good solutiion to a lack of retro goodness dunno if these are the exact model, but these are pretty much the same ones they have at that store I mentioned Amazon.com: Tomee Inc C2 NES/SNES Retro Twin Gaming System - Silver: Video Games

I don't think I can recall any games from my atari 2600 times (well, I do remember some, but I don't really care for any of them).
But Lately I've been digging up old Infinity engine Bioware games. Baldurs gates, icewind dales, planescape torment etc - they're all dirt cheap on gog.com and work well on win7. Boy, what a trip it's been! Nostalgia aside, these games are soooo different from what we get nowadays. There is a plot! There are no huge blinkig markers for quest objectives. There are very well hidden quests that most players will miss. I remember back in the day Icewind Dale was treated as a hack'n slash game, not a real rpg. Well, compared to many new games, the dialogue, the characters, the story .. it's amazing. It's still a hack n slash game, but when you stop for a while, stop disemboweling orcs and look around, there is a surprising amount of fluff. And that's Icewind Dale - it's significantly less robust than Baldurs Gate 2, one of the biggest if not the biggest rpg game up to date. 100+ hours of actual gameplay, not some idiotic mmo style grind, without "cunning" ideas that make the game longer. now if only all of this wasn't this cliche canon fantasy crap ... Wait, I also re-started fallout 2 (for like a 1000th time), and while the game might be frustrating to those playing it for the 1st time as there is almost no tutorial and there is absolutely no balance, for a veteran like me it's still surprisingly fun to play. |

Hit up Camelot yesterday with my girl for some miniature golf. Had fun and then proceeded to the arcade room where i found Rastan which is quite possibly one of the greatest games of alltime.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...Lvqfx6wpyvaayw I played on one dollar for about an hour until she wanted to leave. So much fun. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...Z3IywIII2KvnWw Camelot is amazingly fun. I felt like a twelve year old but what you gonna do. |
