okay im finished.

For the 2600, I liked a lot of the Activision games (heck, I earned the paches for quite a few of them )
Also..I spent a lot of time on Raiders of the Lost Ark. Other than that, the usual...ya know, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Missile Command, Vanguard, Defender.

I had a Colecovision ADAM computer..when it felt like actually WORKING ( >(! ) I had Mr Do!, Venture and Buck Rodgers - Planet of Zoom.

When I had my Sega Master System, I played a lot of Glovelious (I *know* I spelled THAT wrong ) and Alex Kidd (Sega's equivilants of Zelda and Mario at the time)

When I had my NES it was ALL about Tetris, Final Fantasy, and Wizardry II.

-Moving Right Along-

When I had my Genesis, I played Sonic 2...a LOT. Also, Sonic Spinball was one of the most ADDICTIVE games made for that thing...I got it for my computer too

Anyone who has never played the 3DO version of Road Rash has been living a sheltered life I also had Super Street Fighter Turbo and the original Samurai Shodown (my fave fighting game EVER) for it, along with some others.

A week after reading about Final Fantasy 7 in Electronic Gaming Monthly, I bought a Playstation...'Nuff said . Oh..and all the retro-gaming collections that came out for it were the bomb too . Ooohhh yeah...could not forget Final Fantasy Tactics either...or FF VIII

At the moment my Dreamcast exists solely for Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 and Crazy Taxi

And my fave PS2 game at the moment it Baldur's Gate - Dark Alliance. I'm gonna be getting Kingdom Hearts and FF X soon tho, so we'll see how long that lasts

Oh...and the Jaguar was Atari's attempt at a 'next level' system.

Wanna hear something really jacked up? When I bought my 3DO at Walmart, I had to put it on layaway cuz it cost so much (400 bucks)....about 4 months later they were selling them for less than $100. I was a little annoyed >(

Went thru something similar when I got my Dreamcast

*UGH*

Heh. I actually waited until after the price drop to get my PS2.

Hrm, I don't remember much, but Pitfall Harry on 2600. That was fun!

Edit--
I forgot to mention that I got the Atari Joystick and paddles today! They are soooo new. It feels weird! I'm happily playing the games on my C64.
...wee, now I can pound Gorf without having to chase after him with the keyboard.

That's great, Kia

Are the joysticks still new enough that they 'crunch' when ya move 'em?

Yep! The joystick has that "crunchy" feeling. o_o
The joystick and paddles were sealed up. Totally new-sealing type thing.

Feels so refreshing!

OREGON TRAIL!
I loved that game so much. I came sooooo close to beating it but the bus came and I had to go home.

(Apple II's were at school... while I had my C64 at home.)

Actually, I didn't get into PC games too much till just a couple years ago...but my fave PC games are the Baldur's Gate series and the Fallout series.

I also have to admit to playing KISS - Psycho Circus *ducks and hides*

Since I got my System Changer for my Intv II, I can play Atari games now.

So far I've gotten:
Star Trek Strategic Operations
Pitfall II
SUper Breakout

Mint in box Solaris is on it's way in the mail.

I can't play super breakout yet... waiting for my paddle controlers to come in.

Can't wait to get Solaris.
