Room 34 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I don't usually get much time to play video games (even now while I'm not working... being a parent is a full-time job!), but fortunately, watching me play video games on the big TV is a great source of entertainment for my 7-month-old son. Right now I have the NES hooked up, and I've been playing a lot of Super Sprint, R.C. Pro-Am, and Pin-Bot. But definitely the Super Mario Bros. trilogy (mainly the first 2) are getting the most attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyDevil Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Right now my NES is hooked up. I am playing Qix, Xevious and Spy Hunter. The NES Qix is so much more difficult than the Gameboy Qix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 Have you played 5200 Qix? That's the only version I have, and I'm wondering how it compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiv Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Well, the system I'm using most now is my Vic-20, since I just got it. However, my games haven't arrived yet, so I've just been playing with the basic (and BASIC :^) system. As for games, I also just got my Roller Controller for my Coleco(vision) Adam, and it came with Slither. So the game I've been playing most recently is... er.. Coleco Donkey Kong. Don't ask me why, I played Slither abit, and it's fun, but then I popped in DK to make sure the Joystick still worked OK, and played that ALOT... desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophero Sly Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I only have my 2600(7800) hooked up. I've been playing Spacemaster X-7 on and off all week, and my addiction to Ms. Pac-Man continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Have you played 5200 Qix? That's the only version I have, and I'm wondering how it compares. No, I haven't. Is there a 2600 or 7800 version? No, but there are versions of Qix for the 8-bit computers and the Lynx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I've been hooked on the Lynx all week. Just got Hockey this week so I'm trying to figure it out. Played a little Baseball Heroes for kicks (wish I could get my hands on Relief Pitcher ) and I'm always going back to Paperboy for quick fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 Oh, I should also confess... Much of my video game time is on my Handspring Treo 90! I really should read at night when I am trying to go to sleep (you know, expand the mind and all of that), but I usually bring the Treo up with me and play word games on it until I doze off. Scrabble's getting the most attention lately. (I used to play Chess on my Game Gear to fall asleep at night!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze_ro Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I've been hooked on MAME lately... I haven't been playing any other PC games though, just MAME. I know it's not a console, but I've been playing it more often than any of my consoles for the last week or so. If I have to vote for a console, I guess I'd say either the Gamecube or the Genesis. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Lately I've been playing a lot of games on Jaguar. Mostly Tempest 2000. I've also been playing networked Halo daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Yesterday, I played some of Quattro Sports and Double Dragon III. I've been on a roll the past few weeks when it comes to finding popular NES games for cheap. I've been looking for quality time to hook up the 5200 but no luck so far. I'm always burdened with homework and other commitments. Ughh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 TG-16. Galaga '90, Galaga '90, and MORE Galaga '90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I must hang my "classic gamer" head in shame. For about a month I've played virtually nothing but my GameCube (Darkened Skye and BMX XXX, believe it or not) and Game Boy Advance (Pokemon: Ruby and Pokemon: Sapphire).

Jasoco Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Well, I'm hooked on collecting for all my systems, but the system I've been playing most lately is my Genesis Nomad. The game library is awesome, it makes me wish I could also play all the good SNES games as well, but alone, it's a great system. Sonic 2 had me hooked for a while, It's probably the best ballance of fun and ease. Though I can't get all the way to the end. I can cheat and go to the last level, but I didn't play long enough to even hurt the final bos robot. I play the game music in my head over and over and actually like it. Comix Zone is good once in a while for a challenge. Chamealeon Kid is a Super Mario-esque game. Pretty cool. Haven't gotten too far. Ghouls'N Ghosts is a hard, but fun game. The music is awesome. Shanghai II has my nostalgia nerve working overtime. Mega Bomberman is a really cool Bomberman game. I never got into the series but it's fun for a laugh. Flicky is good for some old-school action. Cool Spot is a fun game. Ristar, Ms. Pac-Man, Vectorman are all good. Super Off-Road is a cool top down racing, but Micro Machines is addictive! And so nice looking. Better than the NES version and has beautiful graphics. Crüe Ball is one I really enjoy. A pinball game with rock music, some Motley Crüe tunes and a cool opening movie. And the gameplay is superb pinball action. And the best part is I have three different systems I can choose from when I want to play them.

DeV0 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Ive spent most of my time in the last week playing super metroid and a host of other SNES games. I am glad i have found one of those disc systems :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maibock Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 The only time I get to play with the Genny is when I'm on the exercise bike. I'm currently playing the 7 game playoff mode in NHL '97. Flyers are in the Stanley Cup vs Vancouver. Man! I think they turn the AI speed up in the cup finals. I only have 2 goals in 2 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Primus Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Lately I have been hooked on Cave1k on the 2600. It's a great game, and I keep playing "just one more game" to try to get a little further. I've also been playing Space Invaders and Jawbreaker on the 2600, and Qix and Pac-Man on the 5200.

Room 34 Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 I know it's not a console... Simple... hook your computer up to your TV, get yourself a USB game controller... voila! It's a console! (BTW, hooking the computer to a TV to play MAME does really make it seem more authentic.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Primus Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 (BTW, hooking the computer to a TV to play MAME does really make it seem more authentic.) Or, do what I did, and make a MAME cabinet. Even _more_ authentic. (You even have to put quarters in <grin>) Ian Primus ian_primus@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
