favorite games: Hitchiker's Guide for PC (Infocom, 1983ish), NFL Football for Intellivision (ca 1979), Legend of Zelda for NES (ca 1988?), Super Tecmo Bowl, all John Madden Football, EA Sports College Football titles, and NHL Hockey titles for Sega Genesis. Been out of the loop since then (7 yrs at least).

I want to try out Everquest, Starcraft, Civ II, Counterstrike, GTA3 because I've heard all of these are insanely addictive.

Favorite standup arcade game ever: Karate Champ!!!

Please explain in more detail what flashback was about.
I have a very distant memory of it. Do you start running away from some cat and you have to jump?
Video game nostalgia is the best.

Actually i looked it up, and I'm thinking of Out Of This World. that game was great. (feeling loads of nostalgia)

flashback: this dude is working on some shit so he can see the aliens who are infiltrating everyday civilization (like they are doing with us airports now) and he gets kidnapped and has to make his way back to earth and then destroy the alien planet. starts off with the guy running away from the aliens and hopping on this hovercraft thing.

actually i think it was his friend that was working on the alien x-ray glasses stuff. i think his friend's name was ian. i think his name was conrad. i think i need to get laid real soon.

i loved (love) sensible soccer mega drive version, cant stand snes controller, best game ever along witht goldeneye ;o)

I loved it too, but my Amiga owning friend used to moan about the star player system, and the fact that you could just press the 'shoot' button and it would do the goalscoring for you. I agreed that it was more satisfying to score on the Amiga. You had to work every angle.


My other favourite games:

Spectrum: Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy, Match Point (still fantastically playable, with great intuitive controls), Gauntlet (spectacularly quick and always underrated. I've got the emulated arcade version on my PC now, as well as the Spectrum one, and its the latter that is most fun to play).

Megadrive: Sonic 1 & 2, the Shinobi games, NHL hockey.

Playstation 2: I just bought one of these a week ago - continuing my habit of buying the populist platform over the more technically advanced one (Spectrum vs C64; Megadrive vs SNES; PS2 vs X-box and Gamecube). Only have two games so far. This is Football 2003, which I bought because I love football games and didn't want to get Pro Evolution now when the sequel is coming out in a couple of weeks. It's decent if simplistic game, but I'm still aware when I'm playing it that I would have wet my pants when I was 9 to know I would one day have games that were this much more advanced than Match Day. The other game I have is Gran Turismo 3, which knocks me out. The graphics are pretty much indistinguishable from TV. Last Tuesday, I'm ashamed to say, I played it for 17 hours straight.
