For a long time I just had that demo disk with the 1 level of Tony Hawk on it. We'd just take turns doing point runs. Seems like with 3 or 4 of us, we'd end up playing all night.

ahh, when games were fun to play.

And things were easy.

I dunno man. I remember games whered you have to explore like final fantasy. you were perfectly capable of going into zones 20 lvls too early and getting your ass waxed hard.
then scamming to try and kill 1 or 2 to lvl.
now its a straight line and you lvl up at predetermined spots...

Lol, or games like Mega Man where you had to play perfect, because one screw up and you have to start the level over.

Fucking A, I still never beat mega man 1.
If Im not mistaken, ive never SEEN iceman.
Megaman 2 i would rox0r.
the one with gemini man. that was my first foray into hacking. I could never get up to em so for the password I kept tossing dots all over till I got lucky and found a code with him already dead, and just worked from there.
Hence im tempted to try the new rereleases on WII and what not. But im scared..
Really, games today are a boatload easier. to an extent. then, we had no difficulty options. now it seems default is low, which I dont like but hard can be insane.

Never understood Megaman its pure absurdity of hardness, and not in a good way. Feels like cheap shots forever.

I miss playing Road Rash, but I figure its not as fun as I remember.

If it's the same on that's for sale on the Playstation Network, I downloaded the demo it's H.A.R.D. like the originals.

Well, I haven't played any games in the last five years and the newest game I've played is probably UT2004. Gaming was just more enjoyable back then. I guess that now that I'm older it's lost its feeling. The late 80's and early to mid 90's were a great time for PC gaming. I dabbled with the PS1.

The original Megaman (1) was awfully unforgiving, the only way I'd recommend it to someone is running it in an emulator using save states.

It used to be I'd rent a game for three days and simply try and beat it during that time (junior high life was so simple . so it was very frustrating with a game like Megaman.

I do think good new games can be found today. I personally have to look a lot harder to find them. Mass Effect 2 wasn't a bad game, I still play UT 3 and I know I'll buy the next version whenever it comes out. Red Dead Redemption I haven't played, but I think I'll probably like it.
