The Whine-out: Because you cried for it.

[Iamerror]

Yeah, I feel bad for kids that grew up after the nes-snes era. Those were some good times.

Yep. Born in 1974 here. Wouldnt trade it for the world....wish that I was able to enjoy more of the 70s..

[Sheik]

Sword - Its not your 'fault' that you were born after the fact, heh... I'd say that getting our NES was a pretty jarring experience for my young mind....right up there with seeing Star Wars in the theatres in the late 70s...un-fu$king-real...yep.

I can't even imagine the lines for that cinematic experience

[Drageuth]

Love Castlevania, myself. Well, except when the games go 3-D...not my scene..ughhh. The GBA and DS versions are among my favorite games of all time. Period. I was right at the 'prime age' during the NES' rise in the US. Grand times. Scrimped for months to buy Faxanadu for $42.99...heh...

And, yes, 'local flora' means EXACTLY that, heh. I will probably retire to either Canada, Upstate NY, or Maine...just havent decided yet...
Sure miss the Canadian beers and grocery stores....man...grand stuff. And poutine...cant live without a good poutine..

My week isn't complete without a good helping of poutine. I kind of agree with you for 3D Castlevania's, although I did enjoy Lords of Shadow. I honestly didn't really enjoy the Metroidvania style games that much -- still not entirely sure why. They were fun, I just really couldn't get into them. Castlevania III is still one of my favourites, ever.

Still.
But I was at the end of SNES and at the beginning of the N64 era.

I never had an SNES growing up, and the N64 was where I really started getting into games. I played probably 30-40 titles on my NES (I think we owned 20 games, give or take), but the N64 was when I started playing games religiously and getting immersed in the worlds. We used to rent games every weekend and hang out in my basement and play for hours.

Currently trying to decide if I want to buy Dyad or not. $11.99 on PSN right now.

I was born at the end of the seventies, I don't remember it, I grew up in the 80's. The first two Star Wars was before my time.

Kinda reminds me of Rez.

Castlevania
I can agree there, 2D is where games like Castlevania shine.

First Title for the N64 - Goldeneye

[Iamerror]

Goldeneye was an excellent game. First titles- Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time

[Sprung]

93 degrees at almost 6:00

Glad I'm not the one on call this week

[Iamerror]

Yeah,it's brutal out. Hey Sprung.

[GradyWilson]

Sword - It was a BALL, man...I saw it at the BlackPoint Theatre, I recall it very clearly, and the pa system kept announcing: "Showings at 6, 9, and midnight...its STAR WARS!" heh heh...
It was a proper old-time theatre...dark and dank...smoking allowed...NOT like the sterile/tiny cinemas of modern times..

Whats up, Sprung. Damn, man, too hot...keeps you in employment, yet still SUCKS....

[Sheik]

Goldeneye was an excellent game. First titles- Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time

Good Titles to start off on.
But Like I said before completing a game was a "symbol of manliness", I completed both 100%

Hi Spring

DDS .

Good Choice.

THe NES...... So many memories of playing it at my grandmas house, they still have it, but it has the blinking red light problem.
Duck Hunt and SMB, that is all.
