I am proud to announce that I have completed the Dreamcast version of MS. PAC-MAN MAZE MADNESS.
Time: 17:51:18 - most of that was probably wasted time coming from trying to complete the time trials. (Time trials SUCK.)
Also, I managed to save $30 by NOT buying the N64 version so that I could take care of it at my own place instead of only playing at my parents' house.
I look forward to a lot more sleeping while I'm there now that I don't have to obsess about finishing the damn game!
I remember devoting a lot of time into Captain Skyhawk on the NES. I spent something like 35$ of my hard earned money on that game when I was 11 and then promptly discovered I hated it. I devoted time to beating it just cause I was so pissed at buying such a shitty game.
Well, I've beaten the hell out of NHL 2002 for PS2...and WWF Smackdown 2 (PS2)...and GTA3... BUT I CANNOT, AND WILL NOT, EVER BE ABLE TO BEAT Ocarina of Time. I HATE ZELDA!!
*Spasms*
ARGH! DAMN YOU, ZELDA!
Bart: Hey, immigrants! Beat it! Country's full! Sailor: OK people, you heard the lady. Back into the hold. We'll try Canada. [the immigrants moan] -- "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson"
Originally posted by ICEMANI truly think is impossible to beat ANY Zelda game.
Not true. I got so good at Link to the Past, I could beat it straight through. And Link's Awakening on the gameboy was also easy. But I was just no good at the N64 games.
Yeah, I'm no good at RPGs. But I CRUSHED GTA3...and now I just wander aimlessly, beating up hookers. Ah, hookers...

And whaddya mean it's too hard? Bah, you younguns and your instant gratification. I grew up in the era of Ninja Gaiden and original Zelda, where games kicked your ass and made you like it.
Now I'm in the era of games like Diablo II where all I hear is "Wah! It's too hard! Someone help me beat Mephisto! I'm a big pansy!"
Sheesh.
Karl: If you had a neck and I had hands I would squeeze your brain which is your body right out of the top of your head which does not exist! Zorak: That's some great hair. Karl: Thanks, it's not real.
The difficulty of Ninja Gaiden made it that much more worthwhile, too, when you'd get a big cinema scene moment where some government agent would say "Ryu, it turns out that your father isn't dead at all, only he kinda is!" and Ryu Hayabusa, The Dragon Ninja, would say the only thing you could say in that kind of situation: ". . .!"
I loved that game. A highly trained ninja skilled in the mystical arts of shooting fire out of his mouth and the stealthy technique of running out in the open in a straight line, killing everything in his path. Except hawks, they'd always kick his ass and knock him off cliffs. And he was always being double crossed and saying "...!", like he didn't expect it. But you know what? He didn't care. He had the Ninja Dragon Sword and he was Shinobi's grand-nephew or something and he could make fire-breathing shadow clones and nothing was going to stop him from running up the physical incarnations of pure evil and slashing at them a lot. Seriously, I loved that game.
They should have made a Golgo 13/Ninja Gaiden crossover game where Ryu Hayabusa The Dragon Ninja and Duke Togo The Fixer had to work together to foil an international plot involving midget assassins and evil ninja, and everytime one of the spy counter agents would reveal himself as an enemy traitor, Ryu could say "...!" and Duke Togo would just shoot the guy in the face and go have sex with some broad he just met. That would have been a great game.
See, this chick with a gun would walk up behind ryu hyabusa and he'd say "Oh, it's just a girl. Go away." Then she'd shoot him with a tranquelizer dart, then Duke Togo would show up and say ". . . ." then have hot monkey sex with the chick who just shot ryu with the tranquilzers. Then Ryu would wake up and Duke would say ". . . ." then ryu would reply, ". . . !" then they'd go off and kick some major ass.

What tha hell are you talkin about?? Captain Skyhawk KICKED ASS!!! Easily one of the greatest Nintendo games ever made. And Ninja Gaiden was awesome too, but neither can touch any of the Mega Man games or Darkwing Duck for NES. Yeah!

Kids these days know nothing about the values of OLD SCHOOL VIDEO GAMES. When graphics didn't matter, it was all about the GAMEPLAY and the fatc they were FUN TO PLAY. One of the reasons to get a Gameboy Advance is the SWEET OLD SCHOOL GAMES (SOSG) on it, like Zelda Advance, Mario Advance 1, 2, and soon to be 3, and METRIOD FUSION and CASTLEVANIA. Man, my comp is LOADED with old school games, and I play them as much as I do my GameCube.
Ninja Gaiden = gold. Crap, almost all the games mentioned in here = gold. Of course, there's my favorite NES game that has yet to be mentioned.....
CONTRA. IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTRA.
(edited by El Nastio on 20.6.02 0009) As a Light-Heavyweight, I'm proud that I'm entitled to weekly boasts on Fridays about how I'm going to be pushed to the moon. So far I've been main eventing "Metal", a B-Level show. Those silly Cruiserweights who think that a couple of mentions in the Ross Report makes them all that. They really believe that THEY'LL be getting OUR pimps from the Ross Report abou....huh?! A new show called "Velocity"?....WHAT DO YOU MEAN METAL GOT CANCELLED?!
30 "Rests" (not lives, but RESTS!) later you're well on your way to beating up the bad alien dudes. Such a sweet game. Bubble Bobble was another gold one.
If people have "song lists" of their mp3s, I think I'm going to have to compile a list of all th egame si have on my comp =)
