[madshot31]

Okay thanks guys. What I meant to choose was my favorite arcade game of all time.10.10 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in TimeI have only played the other one on xbox live before.

This is the one I was eluding to. I knew it was your favorite one. I didn't want to say the name.

I know, I think we have talked about them before over live or something.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Anyone else a Dr. Mario fan? My family (even my mom) plays it for hours when we get together.

I don't like the new revamped version they put out on XBLA.

I used to be. I haven't played it in a very long time, though. I used to be good at it, but I do recall playing it recently (a couple of years ago, recently) on my emu and I did poorly. I didn't remember the game being as fast as it was. That's what 20 years of rust will do.

It's available for download on the Wii. It's slightly different than the N64 version, but still a heck of a game.

Haven't tried it. (Getting the TMNT:### Cart in the mail soon, goozex) I heard the remade version they changed the music to being horrible, the graphics so it is a crappy early 2000s cartoon, and took out entire areas.

 

[SlaX]

Wow. Nintendo 3DS was just announced at $250. That's a bunch. Who's getting it?

I used to have the NES version. I never played it on N64 to tell if it's any different.

I do think Bejeweled has spawned more clones.

I'm buying 12...and selling 11 on E-bay for $350...

This next game I missed out on much of the hype because my college days were spent playing Mario Kart 64, Ocarnia of Time, and Mario Golf. That said, the Game Cube did not have much and Mario Kart Double Dash is nothing to brag about because that game sucked. However, the Game Cube did have the following game. Four player mode was awesome and its predecessor has it as well. Before some party games, there was this game. A great cast of characters that were familiar to most as well. I give you:Mario KartArcade(1) Dragon's Lair (5.12)Arcade(2) Gauntlet (6.02)Third Generation (1983-1990) Phantasy Star - Sega MS (8.02)Fourth Generation (1987-1995)Fifth Generation (1993-2001)Sixth Generation (1998-2009)Seventh Generation (2005-Present) LittleBigPlanet - PS3 (7.12)FPS/TPSSports Baseball Stars - NES (9.12)Strategy/RTSRacingPuzzleFighterAction/AdventurePlatformerHack and Slash/Beat 'em UpRole PlayingSuspense/HorrorBest MultiplayerBest StoryBest Main Character(1) Link (1.12)Best Main Character(2) Samus Aran (2.02)Best Villain(1) Sephiroth (3.12)Best Villain(2) Ganondorf Dragmire (4.02)Worst GameFlex Video Game(1)Flex Video Game(2)10.02 - Super Smash Bros. Melee - Game Cube - Fighter

Following your picks very closely as apparently I am playing vicariously through you and IMHO this is your first stinker of the draft.

Not a chance. Melee is easy to pick up but suprisingly difficult to master. You have to appreciate a fighter that has so many different characters and abilities that can balance so well with various environments ranging from perfectly balanced to ridiculously bizarre. As a fighter its one of the premier games still in circulation for tournaments both here in America and in Japan. As a nostalgic monument, it brings up good memories of nintendo games from our childhoods. The many different fight modes and tournament styles made for an incredible game that you could pickup and play anytime but sit for hours on end if you wanted to. Melee was one of the games that made the game cube.

Played it quite a bit on the original Gameboy, very addicting and fun to play. However no game had anything on Gameboy Tetris....

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I'll put it up for vote:

Should I go "old school" or "new school" with my next pick?

 

[madshot31]

I'll put it up for vote:Should I go "old school" or "new school" with my next pick?

I could do that too, but I didn't play many games from about '92-'08. Just started playing again recently.

Can't go wrong with old school.

 

[Yo Mama]

I am leaving and wont be back for two hours or so. Anyone take a one game list. If it is taken, skip me and Ill make it up

Got your PM. I'll make the pick if it's still there.

 

[madshot31]

Pollardsvision you can make your pick, its been an hour.

 

[Yo Mama]

Pollardsvision you can make your pick, its been an hour.

Gonna suck for biggamer3 to wait so long to pick then possibly miss 3 close picks.

 

[Yo Mama]

10.08 Yo Mama selects:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Xbox360 - (RPG)

and a truly superb RPG finally gets picked.

Woohoo - thanks.
