.Hey whaddaya know, a thread about the other main 'passion in my life (besides Opeth), video games!:hotjump: I started up way back when with the Commodore 64. Man I don't think my dad paid for a single game he got for us
I don't suppose anyone remembers either silkwood/silkworm (can't remember which name) or sammy light-foot. Now that was the shit! Well it was when the '64' stood for KB and not MB.
After that I went through most of the consoles (as I've always had an underpowered PC
). I think from memory I had the Sega Master System I and II (Wonderboy in Monsterland RULED!!), SNES (Still has the best games of all time: Secret Of Mana [OMFG!!], Super Metroid, and Super Mario Kart), N64 (74 hit combos in Killer Instinct Gold were always gratifying), Playstation (FF Series anyone?
Don't get me started, I'll never stop [or hadn't you noticed?
], Dreamcast (Shenmue just plain kicks ass, it's too damn big!), oh and the PS2 of course GT3 is the only brilliant game so far though, seeing as we haven't got MGS2 or FFX yet here, and GTA3 got pulled of the shelf (due to ratings!)
I still can't figure out why they stopped making 2D games after the release of the PSX and N64 though. Does anyone besides me wanna see Donkey Kong 4/5? for the GameCube. Here's an interesting question. Can anyone remember the last 2D game (not handheld) to be released, before everyone jumped on the 3D bandwagon?
I think it was Yoshi's story for N64?
