magic pockets, i see must be a fan of the bitmap brothers.

anyway, it's bloodwych, not bloodwitch.

Sky Piolts, fuck what was that game called. I loved that game, it was a really early SNES game.

I have no idea what that is. Here is the game I've wanted to post all day, thanks Krastian for the tip, worked perfectly.

I think this was called UN Squardon in the US...might've had a different name elsewhere.

un squadron yup. good damn game.

Love this game!

looks a bit like f zero or something... or are those boats?

big red racing? did it have boats in it?

This was the only game i ever owned that my dad showed any interest in

frogger?

This thread is so much harder than I expected. Did anyone play the less obscure games, like Earthbound or NARC? How bout this one:

Ha, that's the first one I recognise... Super Mario Bros.

I can never relate to these threads either because I never had any video game consoles... but I can't be the only one here who used to have and MSX2, right? Even though I don't think that ever really took off outside of Japan and a few countries in Europe (Philips for instance made them too).

One of my favourite MSX games (along with Metal Gear, Kings Valley, Usas, Vampire Killer and just about any other game made by Konami):













anyone know?

i fuckin love earthbound

NARC was one of the first games i owned, it was one of the games my dad chose when he gave me and my brothers an amiga for christmas in 1990.

So do I. Easily one of my favorite games.

i downloaded a ROM of earthbound but kept getting killed in the town where you start, i think it might have been the cops who killed me. i've sort of been meaning to retry it as it's a game i've heard nothing but high recommendations for.

Yeah, I do remember the cops being rather tough. You have to fight 5 or 6 in a row, right?
Once you get past that, the game (for me at least) wasn't very hard at all. And it gets alot more interesting.

yeah that part aint easy. you just have to level up enough before the fight to beat em

There was a sequel/prequel to Earthbound that I think is supposed to be released here in a combo pack with the original, because it never made it across the seas. Maybe it was already released? Don't remember what system though - probably GBA or DS, I'd imagine. Admittedly, I never got that far in the original. I just really liked what I played of it.
