What's an old school game you can always pick up and play?

For me its Earth Bound for the SNES.

It was and still probably is the only RPG that is seriously tongue in cheek and takes place within a relatively normal environment. It had a monkey that chewed bubble gum and you could beat down hippies with a baseball bat. Whats not to love.

I'll allow it considering it ha been around for almost 7 years and there is a newer version. But its pushing it. Are we talking SNES mario kart or one of the more recent ones? Speaking of FPS. The king of the console


That right there is a true classic.

So you want a NES game

So you want a NES game eh?

Pure Classic. I'd rather play Dr. Mario than Tetris anyday.

wow that looks like a...really fun...game! i wanna play doctor! doctor mario, that is! but you liken it to tetris? does that mean dr mario doesn't do surgery or anything really fun like that?

He cures diseases (those

He cures diseases (those weird demon looking things) with magic pills piled upon one another. Actually that's the players job. All Dr. Mario does is throw the pills or stare at you with his souless doll eyes while holding his clip board. What the hell is on that thing anyway. Its gotta be one of those magic eye pictures cause his cross-eyed gleefully retarded look means he finally saw that sailboat.

For me i would have to say

For me i would have to say for console its a tie between Final Fantasy 5 and Dragon Warrior 7, for pc its another tie between Morrowind and the Day of Defeat series that i played from beta fucking 1.

How about some hockey eh?

Fist fighting, goal scoring and hidden mini games between periods.
Not enough fighting for ya?
Don't gut punch a dude's girlfriend and kidnap her. Especially if that guy knows how to goddamn jump kick your head in.

First game I ever played online and even made my own clan. Ah the good old days of 36k dialup connections for fragfests.

Jees you big cheater, Mike.

Jees you big cheater, Mike. Be a man and kill Jason with your wits, like Corey Feldman in Friday the 14th: The Final Chapter.
Fancy footnote: Crispin Glover was in that film.

Here's an even older crappier video game based on a horror film


Yes that is Michael Myers decapitating Jamie Lee Curtis and some little kid freaking out on the bottom floor.

Can't wait for the next set of games on the DS and Gamecube.
