Back in the day, well I can remember when my dad brought this box in one day and hooked it up to our Black and White TV, right in the middle of Speed Racer no less, turns it on and changes the channel and hands my brother and I each a controller for something called Pong. Slow, Crappy graphics but we couldn't get enough of it. I never really caught the bug for video games but after we got back from Desert Storm a buddy and I started playing The Hunt For Red October on a Commodor 64. Speaking of which check this out.

It's baaaacckkkkk! :cool:
 
For it's time, the TurboGrafx16 was pretty awesome. But like the Neo Geo, it wasn't as popular as the other mainstream game systems on the market. Nintendo and Sega were the top dogs.
 
I also had the turbo graphics 16, the only game I remember playing on it was Splatterhouse.

Tecmo Bowl, Punchout and Zelda were my NES favorites.

N64
-Super Mario 64
-Super Mario Kart 64
-Killer Instinct
-GoldenEye
-Perfect Dark
-Turok (any version)
-Conker's Bad Fur Day

Conker's is by far my favorite counsel game every made.

true it seemed that those became obsolete very quickly because the technology moved forward so quickly and i suppose that's the big reasons they didn't last too long, i remember my friends SAGA MASTER SYSTEM was top of the line at the time and he loved the game SHINOBI it was a pretty cool game and the graphics were better than anyone's at that point in time, i seem to remember it being like 1984-or 1985 somewhere around there??

thanks your friend Joe
 
Doh! :doh:
anyone remember ColecoVision or Texas Instruments Ti-99?

I believe Coleco was the first console to offer Donkey Kong. correct me if I'm wrong.

The Ti-99 had a book not a manual. It was a home computer and gaming system. Learned how to write some basic programs back in 82, that was a looooong time ago.
 
So....I actually have a connection here as I used to work in the game industry. I loooove old games. I worked at 3DO and if anyone here played any 3DO games from 1997-1999 (High Heat Baseball, Army Men, Battle Tank, or later versions of Might & Magic or Heroes III-IV) then you've heard my voice.

I was not a voice actor - I was an IT geek who fixed computers and worked the help desk.

But I auditioned to do heckling for the High Heat game and did vendor calls & heckling ("my mother hits better than you!") - while doing that, the sound guy was trying people out to do the voice-over for the opening credit of all the 3DO games....when the 3 characters swooshed into the screen with sound effects, you heard a voice say "3DO!"

That, was my voice.
:woohoo:

Anyway, I worked there with the gal who helped to create Asteroids, and Tempest and several other "classics".

Personally I've been gaming since the original pong, the 1st system I owned was an Atari, and went on from there.

I love so many of the games listed so far. Here are a few other of my favs:
Marble Madness
Paperboy
The laser disk era games like Dragon's Lair & Space Ace...Don Bluth was awesome
Q-Bert
Kung Fu (think that was the name - side-view Red fighter & white fighter)
Battlezone - Such an awesome game
Golden Axe "warrior needs food badly" - I pumped so many quarters into that one!
Contra
Commando
Time Pilot
Missile Command
Joust
Berserk "intruder alert, intruder alert!"
Robotron 3000
Ghosts & Goblins
Defender
Scramble (defender on steroids)
Xevious
Duck Hunt
Frogger
Track & Field
Pole Position
NFL Blitz (ok, I think this was 90s but it was awesome)
That awesome racing game with the little gold wrenches - up to 4 players - gah! What was that called?!? Loved that one. Was it championship sprint?

Many many more...love this topic!
:cheers:

Brings back memories --- While I was going to UTEP back in early 80's- they had a missile command machine in the rec room that we used to get past 800,000 all the time and then it would go into the developers test mode where you got pretty much unlimited lives so could play for hours on a single quarter ( Can remember missing quite a few classes because of that game !! )

Nope -- Atari Super Sprint !!
