    I'll caveat that these are my answers for games ANYONE should play before they die, not that just GAMERS should play before they die... Tetris Pac-Man (or Ms. Pac-Man) Space Invaders (or Galaga) Super Breakout Frogger [T-Pac]

    @Sumez - focusing on something to complement in a post can make you feel a lot better than focusing on something to refute. [T-Pac]

    Oooooh - well that explains it! I wondered if those Moai constellations were a warp-tunnel... Thanks for the info - and I'm glad I didn't miss much from the second volcano level. [T-Pac]

    Gradius [Nintendo Entertainment System - 1986] Can any Gradius experts weigh-in on why the manual says there's an "Inverted Space Volcano Stage" between the jellybean level and the moai-head level, but I never saw it in my playthrough? Also - apparently the kid who owned this game before me couldn't decide if their initials were "J.M." or "J.W"... [T-Pac]

    This is glorious haha! And it looks like I've inadvertently risen to the @DefaultGen challenge: "I DOUBLE-DOG DARE YOU! MAKE A MOUNTAIN KING VIDEO!!!!" Bet you thought THAT would never happen! Now you owe me your Famicom Golf Champions' Course. No takebacks. [T-Pac]

    Noted. You are a madman and I thank you for your service, @Khromak. [T-Pac]

    Super jump glitch? No - but that sounds awesome! Please enlighten me haha. [T-Pac]

    Bubble Bobble for the Game Boy is my favorite version of the game, although you might argue that it's not a direct port considering all the level differences, introduction of sub-bosses, etc. I also prefer the Game Boy port of R-Type to the TurboGrafx-16 release. It has fewer levels, but is way more accessible for players like me who enjoy easier games. [T-Pac]

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, too! I've got Boulder Dash on my backlog for this year - and even though I plan to use save-states on it, I'd like to know what I'm generally in for haha. [T-Pac]

    I actually had to watch this movie in my high-school physics class... Our assignment was basically to tear it apart for how painfully off-base it was with regard to actual space science. But I thought it was neat anyway. I like space stuff. [T-Pac]

    I beat the Mountain King challenge score this week! 115,140 And I forgot to post my Pitfall high-score from last month, too. 100,648 [T-Pac]

    Mountain King [Atari 2600 - 1983] This game was a lot more complex than I expected, but I ended up absolutely loving it. [T-Pac]

    Isn't this that game where the "Jason!? Jason!? Jason!?" sound-clip comes from? [T-Pac]

    Oh sick! I've always wondered what it would've been like to be a graphics artist in the 8-bit / 16-bit era. Like - how much programming knowledge did they need, and what compromises did they have to make for system limitations and stuff? [T-Pac]

    This brings a whole new dimension to the argument! If I remember correctly, the rationale behind the proponents of "P" was that PlayStation is a single word - so only the first letter should be represented in the acronym. But now that these bootlegs are branding themselves "P Station", we're back to "PS" - one letter to abbreviate each word. Still doesn't solve the "X" versus "1" problem, though... [T-Pac]

    Thanks, dude! I feel like this thread is fine for now. It's not terribly active anyway - plus I wouldn't consider my writeups "reviews" so much as "my thoughts on what I just read". [T-Pac]
  20. T-Pac
    Haha that's makes sense. I guess I've just inadvertently established you as a "shoot-em-ups and Runescape" guy in my mind, so "sports-ball and carnival games" caught me off guard. [T-Pac]

    Finished reading The Defining Decade by Meg Jay. [T-Pac]
  22. T-Pac
    Yup - that's basically how I responded haha. [T-Pac]
  23. T-Pac
    Neat! I'm curious, though - what made you pick Barker Bill's Trick Shooting and NBA Hang Time? Those don't strike me as the type of game you typically play. [T-Pac]
  24. T-Pac
    Also - Darkwing Duck is the best NES Mega Man game. [T-Pac]
  25. T-Pac
    Don't feel bad - for every 1 person that gets upset at repeat threads, there's another person who missed it the first time around and yet another person who's more than happy to share their thoughts again. Anyway - these semi-frequent "NES Mega Man" threads are a good reminder for me to actually get around to playing all the games haha. [T-Pac]
