Loved this game
I have this but the cartridge sucks and hardly ever works. I need to get a new copy because it's an awesome game.

lol No he just loves old school gaming. Has the current gen systems but probably plays NES as much as them if not more. Has some extremely rare NES games, I believe there are only about 750 different titles that even exist.

Great $10 purchase. I'm loving going through these games again. Did a couple stages from 2 last night. Crash Man and Metal Man.
The accuracy in which you have to jump and shoot in these games were sooooo unforgiving. Very frustrating games, but you felt like a king after you finally beat Wiley

Multiplayer wise definitely goldeneye. We'd get together at a teammates house and play it all night in jr high. Campaign wise definitely Zelda Orcarina of Time.

Ya beat me to it! :o

edit: my most frequent was Brickbreaker, which some might remember I started some threads on.....ha ha

I remember an old Atari one that I was pretty good at that had these cannon balls falling down and you had to catch them.

Rented Ikari Warriors on the NES & probably played it for 4 hours straight as like a 10 year old.

Earl Weaver Baseball on my old Tandy PC was the first game I was addicted to. What a great PC sports game.

Also I loved playing Crash Bandicoot on PS1. I've wished I'd never gotten rid of them since I started college and had some friends who still had there systems.
Upon returning back to my parents house, I found Crash 1 and Crash 2. Definitely bringing them back to AZ to play.

My first true addiction though was Mario Kart.

Used to do this with Halo 1 via system link. 8-16 players on Blood Gulch and/or Sidewinder was awesome

Not sure, but it was either Duke Nukem 1, Commander Keen 1, or Xevious (Atari).

Was Kaboom with the paddle and not the joystick?

As opposed to Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em, which is a low-budget porn version of Kaboom.
