Intellivision was a fun one to. I use to play the heck out of Frogger, night stalker, and space hawk. I had the Sears version of it. The Sears Video Arcade.Comment

Yeah, the 2600 is legendary, and responsible for a lot, but man the games. I collected 2600 for a while and would play every game at least for a little while to see what was up. I can tell you with some certainty, most of the games are crap. Just mind numbing, ugly and blisteringly hard. It has some gems, no mistake, but they are few and far between.Comment

Yes, the 2600 library certainly had more than its fair share of stinkers. Probably more bad than good do to the vast amount of games released. But there is still lot of pure gold on the system as well. Games that are still fun to play some 30 plus years later. Because of the simple graphics I think it has allowed the system to age better than many recent ones. I remember when PS1 and era polygon games were cutting edge and now they are a real eye sore.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

The Atari 2600 is also the system that beginner programmer go to for learning as well. Its really helped the home brewed game scene (meaning new 2600 games)Comment

Did they ever re-release FF7 on another plateform? On a gameboy for instance? Ive lost track of it as time has gone by.Comment

For me it was Nights into Dreams on the Saturn. When it was first released I thought it was an absolutely gorgeous game. Now it's a blocky, flickering migraine inducing mess. It's not just the PS1 and the Saturn either, the N64 has aged equally poorly in its own way. I used to think Mario 64 looked great and now it's a washed out blurry mess.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Im afraid if I did get a wii i would end up playing the virtual console over anything. I was at a friends the other day and finally got a chance to see Mario Galaxy and that other mario side stroller ( dont know the name). My thought was "boy, Mario has come a long way since donkey kong!"Comment
