    Damn. The Lego Island does trump all. I friggin loved that game. And yeah, Math Blaster was gonna be my next pick. Random fact: My grandmother dated one of the guys who created the original Oregon Trail. He would always have her help test it.

    Granted, I posted a game for Intellivision... but Intellivision competed against Atari. One neighbor that lived 2 houses away had Atari 2600. We had Intellivision. My next door neighbor had ColecoVision.

    Also I stated I had a Commodore 128, but most games purchased were for the Commodore 64.

    Just today I was thinking, should I say Lego island? I decided I'd probably be lynched so I didn't but then when I read through the posts and somebody had posted it. Sucks that you HAVE to choose Pepper to actually play the game, I even remember the last level where you have to shoot doughnuts and pizzas out a helicopter.

    Has anyone else gone back and attempted to play a game that they had in the childhood and thought 'How the hell did I do this? It's soo hard!'?
    Edit:

    Does this count?

    An actually decent game that has Minicons! (The best Transformers IMO). It's hard as nails though, I still can't complete it.

    I don't know about thinking they were so hard...repetitive and frustrating were more the style of games of the 80's/90's. Insta death/quick reflexes/button mashing were the norm in those days. If it wasn't one of those games than it was mostly text based with little amount of visuals that seemed amazing way back when.

    Yeah, she was around 30. She was divorced once before that. She's a little over 70 now, I think.

    Edited by merge:


    Sorry for double post but I have to answer this question, yes. Dragon Warrior Monsters (I think that's what it was called.) for the Game Boy Color. The final boss is ridiculous. Like over the top want to shoot yourself ridiculous. I have beaten it ONCE in my life and that was enough for me.lol.

    I've been playing videogames since I was about 5 years old. Can't remember the first game I ever played, but it was on a PC that ran DOS. I played a lot of Commander Keen, Hexen, Doom, and Jazz Jackrabbit, plus countless others.

    I also remember the first videogame system I ever owned. It was an original (read: brick) Gameboy, and I had this sweet little game called Hyper Lode Runner. From then, I used to go around to a friends place and play his Megadrive/Genesis for hours on end. Usually MK2, Sonic 2/3/&K, or Streets of Rage. I eventually got my own Megadrive, and the first game I got was Jurassic Park. Played that game to death and eventually got more, like Sonic 2, Road Rash, Primal Rage, Desert/Urban/Jungle Strike, Sonic & Knuckles, and heaps of others.

    My gaming obsession has flourished from there, and is still flourishing. People say its an addiction, but I believe it to be a passion. Gotta be passionate about something.
