I just dug out a dusted copy of Interstate '76. It doesn't work very well on newer PCs as it was released in '97, but back then we played the shit out of it. The game had surprisingly good funk soundtrack too.

I've been on a pretty big Excitebike binge lately.......fucking right.

that was great!!
I had just the demo and played that single level a thousand times.

well, back to the 21st century (but old games still have the best "playability" ever), bioshock is really nice, a good variation of usually quite boring (except for half life) FPS. Really cool game with many "twists".

God bless you for bumpin this thread.
I've been playing almost everyday, while smoking bud, with my buds

Aah the singing turd. Hehe immature but great all the same. The ending is just depressing brilliance.

Right now I'm playing res evil 4. As good as ever is all I can say although that damn slag of a girl pisses me off.

I play counterstrike every night and have so for the past 2 years. I am a pro at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Two and my favourite console is the SNES. Sonic 3 is my favourite game of that era, followed by Donkey Kong 2.

That's the spirit.

my problem with video games is that after a short while they feel like a part-time job where one doesn't get paid. sort of like don't i have anything better to learn? things to "accomplish" in real life?

but maybe that's just me. or is there anything that's not like that?

I agree, if you play video games all the time then prob. need some serious help.....I enjoy playing them every once in awhile just to mix it up really.

I think games are like others screen-related stuff (tv shows etc.etc.), as long as you play coz you're "entertained" and have fun and not just becuz you're "addicted" it's a pretty nice way to spend some free time imo. Games can be fun, and more than that if they are REALLY good games. Playing micro machines 2 in 4 people is crazy fun.
Playing Penumbra alone in the dark with headphones is scary.
Playing pes yelling at my brother next to me is relxing ha ha .

That Call of Duty 4 game looks insane.....I need to get a 360 eventually.

call of duty 4 is for pc too, and I can't even imagine how hard/annoying can be using a joypad for that kind of games now that I'm used to mouse + keyb controls....

fifa 08! getting stuck into the ps2 version. also 50% through toca race driver 3.........

i am so not into being sad about games. i need quick fixes....

i just beat tales of symphonia last week; i was level 75, i fought 2326 battles, and it took me 72 hours. still hasn't eclisped by xenogears record (level 80, 73 hours).

before that, i played through all 3 devil may cry games, played about 100 hours of disgaea 2 before i put it away, and i played dragon quest viii (2200 battles exactly; everyone level 70, took EXACTLY 60 hours). sometime in there, i finally beat raiden iii, r-type final, and ikaruga.

currently, i'm playing through skies of arcadia legends. then, i'll probably go back to disgaea 2. then, valkyrie profyle, star ocean: till the end of time, and vagrant story. hopefully, some day, i'll finally get around to earthbound and secret of mana-beating. and i still haven't even bought twilight princess yet, but i will. i also have all the metroid prime games sitting around that i need to beat. jesus.

...an item of possible interest in today's metafilter
super mario as a 3D shooter

Ha ha, I'd actually play that.

...but Excitebike would still be better...

True true.

I love RockStar Table Tennis- I want to play online but every time I do it's versus some stupid foul-mouthed child that needs a valium.
