Re: What are some of the worst games you have played?

As I posted over at DP today, I've recently come across the Gem of a game that is Atari Match Pro Wrestling on the 2600. :occasion14: :XXpuke.gif:


I'm sure I can think of some more, right now I'm still in shock.

Re: Sega Saturn

I had one friend growing up that was all Sega all the time. He was the only person I knew that had a SMS, the first person to get a Genesis and Dreamcast, and the only person that I knew that had a 32X, Sega CD, and Saturn. I have one of each now, except for a dedicated SMS, and the Saturn had some ...

Re: AVGN- Angry Video Game Nerd discussion thread

The first one I saw was (I think) Friday the 13th, back in 2007 or so. That one's still one of my favorites, simply because I played the shit out of that game as a kid, and never really understood what I was doing. The Atari Porn episode is the second one I saw.

Re: I'm in

Welcome, and my condolences on having to sell off your collection. I've been perilously close a couple of times to having to do the same, so I can sympathize. :atari2600:

AVGN- Angry Video Game Nerd discussion thread

Well, it seems like nowadays every forum has a thread about the AVGN, and not just game forums either. SO rather than deprive us, I figured I'd start the required discussion. For those that don't know, James Rolfe started making short films when he was a young kid, and is still making them. A few ye...

Re: Pre-Computer Space electro-mechanical games

That's how you can spot the makings of a good game book. Most skip right from Pinball to Computer Space, but the better ones have at least a cursory chapter on those transitional games.

Re: New Pac-Man tabletop game?

I saw one on Ebay that went for about a hundred bucks last year- I thought it was a bootleg at first.

New section idea

What about a board devoted to games in movies? Whether they be movies about video games or movies with video games in them.

Re: Was Ghostbusters for the SMS the first password game?

I'm playing Dracula's Castle, a euro port of the original Castlevania on an MSX emu. It has a password feature just like the one on CVII, except not as long-winded.

Re: Anyone have a Super Grafx?

Never had one, but I do have a TG-16. I got it around late 89 or early 90. Alien Crush, Devil Crash (or Crush) and Splatterhouse are all games I had for it originally. Like a fool I traded it for one of those stupid VR helmets that was compatible with the SNES and Genesis (was it a Virtuamaxx? I can...

Re: Was Ghostbusters for the SMS the first password game?

I could have sworn that the first Castlevania had passwords. It has, however been awhile since I've played the US version.

See, you start hanging out with European games and your knowledge of US stuff flies out the window.
