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)January 10, 2004 at 07:59PM View BBCode
oh, it comes out Jan 15th for all systems, but is only online for PS2.January 10, 2004 at 08:53PM View BBCode
i can't wait to rent it, hope it was as good as nba streetJanuary 12, 2004 at 10:05PM View BBCode
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.January 14, 2004 at 01:40PM View BBCode
Video games are mental masturbation, fun yet pointless and sad...January 14, 2004 at 01:50PM View BBCode

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.January 14, 2004 at 06:10PM View BBCode
Hey, I have video games when I was young! Back then, we were playing 8-bit and loving it!January 14, 2004 at 06:11PM View BBCode

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.January 14, 2004 at 08:38PM View BBCode
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.January 15, 2004 at 04:10AM View BBCode
Video games seem to be becoming the new generation gap...January 16, 2004 at 01:01AM View BBCode
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.January 16, 2004 at 02:27PM View BBCode
1990 or 1991?January 18, 2004 at 12:40AM View BBCode
maybe it was the second zelda. of course how could you have a game like zelda and not be able to save it?January 18, 2004 at 02:42PM View BBCode
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...January 19, 2004 at 07:13PM View BBCode

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.January 19, 2004 at 10:46PM View BBCode
same here, in fact i had never even been to level 2 since recently.January 20, 2004 at 11:04PM View BBCode
Justin Bailey, that's the one.January 21, 2004 at 04:01AM View BBCode
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.January 21, 2004 at 04:08AM View BBCode
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.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.January 21, 2004 at 04:52AM View BBCode
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.January 21, 2004 at 04:53AM View BBCode
I think it goes without saying, but also, no gameshark type cheapness, honestly beating the game only...
