:lol I remember the 1st time I played DD it was in arcade; some dude joined me and I kept kicking his ass thinking his character was one the CPU bad guys

:lol he almost killed me on the spot

[apalisoc_9]

Way too young for 8-bit...

But I remeber enjoying Contra and Captain tsubasa for NES.

[DJR210]

:lmao

My uncle was always a bully, so he gives me a token at the old Pistol Pete's Pizza and instructs me to go join DD and throw the kid who was playing into a pit a few times.. Of course with how much I looked up to my uncle I jumped at the opportunity to not only get a token I didn't have, but to impress him..

Long story short, I successfully threw that faggot into a pit and handed him a game over, but then he succeeded in shoving me clean off the bench we were standing on right onto my back.. I took my instant karma punking like a champ, and walked back quietly to my table.

:lol any list that doesn't include River City Ransom

did u guys ever played puzzle bubble or some jewel game at the arcades where u can just sit there long hours playin on one credit?


the 90s when daytona usa came out and a bunch of kents thinking they can drive trying to show off with all these pb time scores or quick shifting to the point some gear boxes just fucked up, also this was when cellphones were very popular where every kent left there phones on the dashboard thinkn they were driving a real car trying to show off their cellphones...gangbangers would just run across the aisle and swoop on them and running out the exit...

xmen vs marvel arckade, u see stacks of coins line up on the screen from players lining up to for next turn to challenge whoever was playing...

they u had those chinese import arcade games which were very popular cause u can sit there one sitting for 1 credit trying to complete the game, something like 3 kingdoms...

[Chris]

More HM:

Shadowgate (invested heavy hours into this one)
Wrath of the Black Manta
Golgo 13 (amazing game!)
Wizards and Warriors (again heavy hours invested here)
Blades of Steel (best hockey game ever)
Willow (underrated AF RPG)
Bionic Commando

[jeebus]

I did hop into the SNES bandwagon...

I would buy the fuck out of an SNES mini console, which is more than likely gonna happen with the way people are eating up the mini NES right now.

I don't get the point, you can play every SNES game out there for free on SNES9X and buy USB SNES knockoff controllers.

Basically to support the company tbh. I'm a big nintendo fan and owned every console until the shitbox they put out called the WiiU. I couldn't give two shits about the playstation or xbox as I can play those games on my PC.

[lefty]

Anyone using NES/SNES/Genesis emulators on their Android/iphones?

Not the best solutions because the controls are not the best but it's better than nothing I guess :lol

I'm going to have to add Beat 'em and Eat 'em to my all time list now.

No love for Smash TV? I never was that great at it but my brother could finish it on 2 quarters. I went to the arcade with him many times and watched in awe as he dominated.

No way man, Tecmo Super Bowl is the GOAT football game. I think hockey games achieved perfection the next generation though with NHL 94 on Genesis.

Yeah. I meant the Super Bowl version, but we always referred to it just as Tecmo Bowl.

NHL 94 is indeed the GOAT Hockey game.

15) Ms Pacman


So much better than the original in every way.

[DJR210]

Never owned an NES tbh.. Went from the 2600 to the Genesis. I did play the shit outta some NES at friends houses.. Used to love me some TMNT, Blades of Steel, RC Pro Am, Tecmo Super Bowl, Gauntlet, Contra, Super Mario though

[baseline bum]

Gauntlet

Man I hated that game at the arcade. First time I put in a quarter I was thinking what the fuck, I lose health every tick of the clock for nothing? And I can shoot and destroy food so I end up unable to heal myself 70% of the time? I mean how do you miss it when you're shooting in every direction to fight off the swarms of ghosts and barbarians and shit? Fuck that game.
