Eh, if he overreacts in that moment it's a sign of weakness (and shows them that the child is his soft spot). He played it right

Damn, so you probably missed out on using the CEO's bidet as well... (when you're a CEO, a water-jet is the way to go)

Great system, I'm actually trying to put mine to good use again. I just recently beat the first Uncharted game (which was a great experience), and now I'm waiting on the copy of Birds of Steel I ordered to arrive. Some games to check out: Grand Theft Auto V God of War series Ratchet and Clank series Rayman Origins/Legends Uncharted series The Last of Us Journey Infamous series I also really liked playing the Ducktales remake and Shovel Knight. Not sure if you'll be able to download those with your firmware mod. (I'm not sure if how it would affect anything at all actually)

Oooh, I actually have one of those for the OG Xbox. I didn't think about it, but the aircraft are stylized prop planes. I'll have to check it out, good call!

That's actually really fucking neat. My PC is a toaster unfortunately. lol

Give it a go and share your thoughts! The last flight combat sim I played was Ace Combat 4 on PS2. I loved it, but I haven't been back to the genre since. With that one mostly being modern aircraft, I figured this time I'd try the older stuff

Damn, you beat me to it

Gloves is Canadian Skynet

I ordered Birds of Steel after readings few reviews. What was particularly bad about Blazing Angels?

For whatever reason WWII fighters have caught my eye recently. I've been reading about different ones and their role/significance in the war. Even watched some airshow clips and watched some restoration videos. I don't have a pilot's license, and flying one of these things in real life isn't going to happen, but I figure I could get a quick fix from playing a video game. More specifically, I'm after titles on PS3. And I don't mind if it leans more toward the Arcade flight style rather than a strict Simulator. As long as there are plenty of aircraft to choose from and it's fun to play, I'm open to trying it. 3 planes I'd like to see included are: - P-51 Mustang - F4U Corsair - P-38 Lightning Any suggestions?

I've never beaten that game, how long does it take?

I feel like it's happened to me several times in the early 3D platformer days. Spyro, Banjo Kazooie, Gex, etc. I'd always try to explore and find places I wasn't supposed to reach. Sometimes leading to me clipping through a wall and getting stuck.

.... No you weren't

I can't say I'm curious enough to go out and buy one. But there's typically a dedicated vintage play room set up at a local arcade Expo every year. I've played a Vectrex and Virtual Boy there in years past. I might pop in there and see if anyone has a 3DO set up this year

To this day I've never played a 3DO.

Currently we have no plans to compile a comprehensive list or database. However, if members of this community wish to come together and compile a new database, there's nothing to stop them.

Dude, you were living the dream! lol

Wallmaster. I freaking hate those things.

A little over 1 hr to go! Get your subs in!

Noon eastern tomorrow.

Contest deadline is getting close! Get your submissions in!

The claw was the shit. It was our preferred equipment as well. We tried some rounds with the jetpack every now and again, but it was mostly claw. Once we learned you could stick to the ceiling and still aim/fire, some really interesting camp spots developed. Lol Love that game

Hell yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Funny how they stick in your mind like that.

1. Combat (Atari 2600) - 1991 My dad had (and still has) a 2600. Once I was old enough to know what I was doing, he started getting me to try different games. One that really stood out to me was Combat. We spent hours trying to shoot each other's tank or airplane. There are other games that I remember playing with him, but it seemed like anytime we had a gaming session, we always came back to this one. 2. Tiger Electronic Bowling - 1992 My very first handheld was Electronic Bowling. My parents have been league bowlers all my life. When we were little, my younger sister and I would tag along on bowling nights. I thought it was so cool that I could bowl while they were bowling. 3. Super Mario Land (Game Boy) - 1994 The first Nintendo product I owned was the OG Gameboy, and I loved that thing. I took it with me anywhere I could. I haven't played the game in several years, but I can look at these screenshots and still hear the music and sound effects. 4. Top Gun (NES) - 1994 My uncle had left his NES with my grandparents after he moved out. So naturally all of us grandkids would gather around the basement TV during family events over there and play the few games that they had. One of them being Top Gun. They had an Advantage Stick and we would set an old school desk in front of the TV to be our "cockpit". We had a lot of fun taking turns playing through the first stage. None of us really knew how to land, so we almost always crashed. And mid air refueling? Fuhgetaboutit. lol 5. Apple II Educational Games - 1995 My earliest gaming experiences at school came around 1st grade. The first machine I remember using was the Apple II and I'd be hard pressed to name specific games, so I'm just going to lump them together for my number 5. If you all are interested in seeing what the library looks like, follow the link. (It was a major blast from the past looking through these) https://archive.org/details/apple_ii_library_4am?&sort=-downloads&page=3 6. TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES) - 1995 I got my SNES as a Christmas gift in 1995. Along with the pack in Super Mario All Stars, my parents got me this absolute gem of a game. It is THE best version of this game and for those who want to argue in favor of Hyperstone Heist, or the Arcade game, I'll shoot you down at every turn. My sister and I loved the head to head sparring mode and it was a big deal to get her into playing games with me. She button mashed and kicked my ass in the sparring mode, but she wasn't all that great at the main game. lol 7. Sid Meier's Civilization (PC) - 1996 My first taste of turn based strategy came in the form of Sid Meyer's Civilization. I became obsessed with this game. Playing it as soon as I got my homework finished, and trying my best to ignore my mom's repeated request to come eat my dinner, I was determined to rule the world. I'm not even sure how or when we got the game. I think my dad actually got it for himself, but once I discovered it, I was hooked. 8. Age of Empires (PC)- 1997 I first discovered this game while staying over at a friend's place and had to have it. I was like Civ on steriods (minus the modern tech advancements). My strategy game experience to this point had been turn based, so the "real-time" aspect was highly intriguing and I saw it made sense to me as the next logical challenge. I loved it. 9. Diddy Kong Racing (N64) - 1998 I didn't have a N64, but my cousin did. When my sister and I would stay over at my aunt's house, we would take turns trying to make our way through the story mode, or play several rounds of the airplane/egg mini-game. I'm sure a lot of you know, but for those that don't, the object was to capture dino eggs 1 at a time and bring them back to your nest to hatch. Hatch 3 eggs and you win. The catch was that they didn't hatch right away, and other players could steal them if you didn't protect the nest. It was a to of fun, and we still talk about the game among my cousins. (I'll have to have them over to play again sometime) 10. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (PS1) - 1999 Playststion 1 was my next home console. I got it as a gift after completing 5th grade. My first game for the system was Spyro, which was ok. But I also had a demo disc that had the warehouse stage from THPS on it. I played that demo until I heard Goldfinger's Superman in my sleep. As soon as I could save the money, I bought the actual game. Although the 2nd THPS is my favorite installment, the first game holds this specific place in time. 11. 007 Agent Under Fire (PS2) - 2003 Ok, I know most people will call upon GoldenEye as the quintessential Bond multiplayer game. But THIS was it for me and my friends at the time. It was released late 2001 and I'm pretty sure I didn't pick it up until I saw it discounted the following year which may put that around late 2002 or early 2003. I graduated HS in 2006, so this game reminds me of the summer between my freshman and sophomore years. It was our go-to. I'd pack this game, 4 controllers, and a multi-tap anytime I'd stay over at a friend's. Many a late summer night were spent at my house with neighborhood friends coming over to play this game specifically. If my dad was awake and not working, he'd come up to hang out with us and join in on the fun. This game spawned so many inside jokes and too many hilarious memories to count. 12. ATV Offroad Fury 2 (PS2) - 2005 My dad and I taunt each other to this day about this game. Sure, the races are fun, but the hockey mini-game is the main focus of our trash talk. I'd normally get the better of him, but he would squeak out a win once in awhile. It never deterred him from running his mouth. Offroad 3 and 4 had soccer and basketball mini-games added to them, and we tried those, but nothing will top the hockey in ATV Offroad Fury 2. We have spent hours upon hours playing this game and made memories I'll keep with me forever. 13. Guitar Hero 2 (PS2) - 2007 This game was a party fad for my first couple years of college. If you had to play on anything lower than Hard mode, you didn't get a turn. Drinking and playing GH2 was the dorm room go to. 14. Tiger Woods 2012: At the Master's (PS3) - 2013 The last game I had a legit obsession for was this particular Tiger Woods installment. I played it to an unhealthy level and eventually platinum trophied the damn thing. If you look into the number of hole-in-ones, double eagles, and ridiculous other tedious tasks required to do this, I'm sure you'll think less of me for sinking that much effort into a golf game. 15. Crash Team Racing (PS1) - 2018 Yeah, I know, it seems odd that this would be on my timeline so late. I assure you, though, it's in the correct spot. I met my girlfriend in winter of 2017 and we got together in 2018. My collection has remained pretty much unchanged for about 5 years now (aside from some homebrew additions). So when I asked her if she wanted to pick a game to play, she had plenty of options. To my surprise, she picked CTR, my favorite cart racer of all time. She surprised me further when we fired it up and proved immediately that she was stiff competition. lol It's remained a go-to if we're spending a night in and can't agree on a movie. Honorable Mentions: Midnight Rescue (PC) - 1989 Another game I recall from my elementary school days. Anyone else know about this one?! Wacky Wheels (PC) - 1994 My dad had this on his work laptop once upon a time, and I'd always bug him to play it. My guess it, he got it for himself to goof off with. Eventually he broke down and installed it on our home PC. Many hedgehogs were hurled. lol
