NFL Street

January 10, 2004 at 07:28PM View BBCode

This game looks like its gonna be really good. It has over 300 players, including past and present players in it. the front of EGM (electronic gaming magazine) shows Ricky Williams being tackled by Barry Sanders (players play both sides of the ball)

basically the game thing said that the thign that sucks about it is that the regular single player mode is really annoying until you get your player's stats up because it is impossible to win, but other than that this game is awesome

NBA street is amazing, and i am really good at it. I beat everything in both of them, so i got no reason to play it anymore, but i still go back and play every once in a while.

Video games are mental masturbation, fun yet pointless and sad...

video games are awesome. this is a game, and it is like a video game except more numbers, and less pictures. I think video games is a form of media not totally accepted by adults yet, and you hear those things like "it will rot your mind" well that is what they said about TV when it came out. I say, stop bitching because you didnt have video games when you were young, and get over it.

Hey, I have video games when I was young! Back then, we were playing 8-bit and loving it!
I just grew out of it...

And there is a big difference in SimDynasty and video games, your mind gets used here...:)

syco you are wrong. totally wrong. games use your mind. try Final Fantasy Tactics. I now have 70 hours on Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, and that uses your brain. also games like zelda are games that require you to solve puzzels to continue through the game. in fighting games you are in a mental struggle between the other person, wll they attack? will they sidestep? will they block? etc. It has been proven that video games make you smarter, and give you the hand eye coordination of an average sports player. Also you say you had 8 bit. 8 bit is original nintendo, which i believe came out in 1990, which would make you 16. it came out when i was 3. i grew up with video games.

The Famicom debuted in Japan in 1983 and in this country as the NES in 1985. Its backstory is actually pretty fascinating, involving the crash of the video game industry, Atari and broken promises. Man, I thought you were a big Nintendo guy. You must learn these things.

Video games seem to be becoming the new generation gap...
I played nintendo and Genesis like mad when I was younger, and now I don't like these whipper-snappers with their loud bangs and flashy graphics...:)

dont know when it came out, just that i remember that the copyright on Zelda is 1990 or 1991, and that was the first game you could save in, so i assumed NES was recently behind it. if anyone is wondering, the save function was done by putting a really small battery in the game to barely keep the game running.

oh, NFL street is awesome, except it is kinda too much offense, because the running is really easy (at least for me) although the defense is fun and hard.

1990 or 1991?
That must have been a reissue, I remember playing that game back in like 1987 or so...

maybe it was the second zelda. of course how could you have a game like zelda and not be able to save it?

wait, i will go against everything i ever do, and look it up.

nope couldnt find it. too bad, the world will never know.

Original Zelda had a battery back-up, it was one of the few back then to have it. They made it a selling point. Games like Metroid would have you put in a long convoluted password to pick up where you left of...
'George Bailey' anyone?:D

the best games for nintendo were

RC Pro Am (really cool racing game)
all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Games
and Battleship. battleship rules, and the password to see the amazing last cut scene is 1991 or 1994 i dont remember, but it is one of those.

I'm guessing you meant Justin Bailey. Along with the Contra code, this was probably the most famous of all the "hidden" NES codes. God, I used to have pages and pages of codes for various games, Metroid, Solar Jetman, Goonies 2, etc. Of course, having codes was still better than the games like Adventure Island where if you didn't beat it in one go-through you had to start over. I don't know how many times I got to about level 5-3 or so before I had to do something else (like eat) and then lost everything I'd done. Super Mario was the same way of course, but it had warps to shorten the game. To this day I've never beaten that game by going all the way through.

same here, in fact i had never even been to level 2 since recently.

the best known code is "the code" the one they make T shirts out of.

Justin Bailey, that's the one.
I used to have a list of every game I had beaten for the NES, Genesis and SNES.
It was up to around 350 or so until I decided it was time to move on.

some games you dont really "beat" like Madden 04. now a day, most games you can "beat" but you have to do other stuff to totally beat it, like zelda, where you have to get all the heart pieces and stuff before you have 100% beaten it, so your list would be harder to keep track of these days. I beat Tony Hawk, but I cant beat it under "sick" difficulty, and i have 1 mission (out of 100 or so) that i cant beat under normal, but i did beat the game.

I guess "beating" Madden would be winning the Super Bowl all thirty years of a franchise. You would have to play forever to do that, though.
happy

January 21, 2004 at 04:11AM View BBCode

and it is basically impossible, and also, you would have to break all the records, and beat it all 30 years with all the teams.

Back then I didn't play sports games, so that never became an issue. My criteria was this, the game couldn't be just random goofyness, it had to have a beginning and an end, and I had to see the ending on the standard difficulty that its set at out of the box.
Toughest prize claimed - Blaster Master for the old NES, that game was TOUGH!!

I think it goes without saying, but also, no gameshark type cheapness, honestly beating the game only...
