Yep. I played Commander keen (old pc game) the other week. It reminded me of when I was in grade 1 and 2. |

I sure do. The Mega Man games for the NES (MM1-MM6) are my favorites.

No, but for some reason, they interest me anyway.
Although I would like to play Mystical Ninja again...

| Quite often actually, if I had played a game during a happy time if I want to feel the way I did then,also the reverse is true if I played a game and I was unhappy I will avoid it and even it's music. Mario 64 puts me in a very good mood. |

| We just started playing Heroes of Might and Magic III again. It was just a better game than IV and V won't play on our elderly computer! |

MIGHT AND MAGIC!! *adds that to his list of past time favorites* God, I remember playing that on a computer that couldn't even support Windows in the form of a floppy disk. And I'd even play that again if I could.

This thread is like memory lane. Leisure Suit Larry! I thoroughly enjoyed playing that in my pubescent years

I was deprived of such memories in my youth, as at that time, my parents believed video games were evil. I still remember my Mom explaining to me how this kid I thought was my friend was a bad person because he played video games.
When the Nintendo 64 came out, they did the inevitable and caved in. The system was for me and my brother to share and we bought Super Mario 64 and Star Fox 64, the former of which was the one I had picked, having seen it at Blockbuster and fantasized about playing it for ages. Scott got his turn first, and played the game on our enourmous TV. When it was my turn, I had to play it on the small TV because my Mom had pulled out a warning booklet that told her about how the HUD could cause burn-in on a projection TV.
About 6 months ago, I purchased Super Mario 64 DS. It was a real treat to relive the past, but I always remind myself that the most valuable part of the past is that which is so easily forgotten - the fact that life was no more perfect back then than it is now. I hope I don't forget what it is like to be disrespected as a kid when I become an old man. As for Mario 64, it is really quite a frustrating game. |
