Video Game Console Poll

[cyronman]

All I have to say, is that this whole discusson really depends on what type of games you like to play... That said, for console, driving and fighting games are all I can really get into.

Yeah...driving, fighting, shooting and sports is pretty much what I'm looking to use it for.

Never was a really big PC type, but always wanted one.
I had an old Amiga, does that count?

You know, this morning I was thinking about what I said about 3rd person games, and I honestly have to take a step back and make mention of both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Both of those games went down in history as classics for me, especially Ico. I really can't wait to see what that company has in store for Shadow II.

This is what you need!

Do you actually have one of those? I never saw one in real life... I thought they were just an elaborate joke, and didn't actually exist.

I pulled my old A1200 out of the closet to sell on ebay, and as a test fired up some of the games. There were some good ones out there (my &%$# Lemming disk is damaged, though!), but wow, does it look dated.

Incidently, the 1200 sold for quite a bit! I was suprised!

My Wii has been collecting dust for the past 6 months... I had to quit playing Half-Life on my PC last year because I wasn't getting any work done. I almost broke down and bought HL Orange box for Christmas, but decided to settle for the Wii games instead.

Reconsider that. Seriously. If nothing else, get Portal. It is relatively short and all kinds of fun.


For what it is worth, my 4-year degree took six years. I blame Doom, X-com, Rise of the Triad, Quake 2, and Command and Conquer.

Do you actually have one of those?.

That’s mine. It’s basically a A1200 with a cd rom attached to it. The CD32 was the last Commodore Amiga made and it was the first cd rom game system.

I have an Atari 800 with plotter, disk drive (5 1/4) and some of the games. I also have a 2600 (I think that is the gaming console), and an old Com 64 I picked up off some friends that were going to trash it. Anyone want 'em, I need to gewt rid of them and thinking about ebay later.

Darkwing,

If I'm the first to reply, let me know about that 2600!

Oh yeah, that was one of my favorite SNES games. Really creepy and cool. I found the game rather difficult though, and I never made it too far. I should que it up on my SNES emulator and see if I can beat it.

Anyone remember "A Boy And His Blob" for regular NES?

LOL!! Lotus Notes. Are you working back in time? I’ve had to deal with so many LN conversions to MS Exchange. You’re giving me nightmare flashbacks.
