I'll see some video games in those AMC movie stadiums that are as big as the Rose Bowl. Other than that, I don't see video arcades anymore. Better part of my teenage years were spent chain feeding quarters (or tokens) into a Zaxxon machine. That and Asteroids were my favorite. I remember getting a high enough score to input my initials, but always opted for YYZ. I'm sure every Rush fan did that, though.

I'll get used to it as soon as my joints stop sounding like a bowl of Rice Krispies® in the morning.

I see Starcraft is getting a lot of votes.  I've always preferred it to Warcraft, as it seems others do also.  Infact, I've misplaced my copy of Warcraft III.

1. Bomberman: The Second Attack (Nintendo 64)
2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
3. Super Smash Bros Melee (Nintendo Gamecube)
4. Fire Emblem VII (Game Boy Advance)
5. Pokemon Red/Blue (Game Boy)




Pokemon Red/Blue:


Amongst my young childhood life, Pokemon was the thing.  The 151 creatures of which you could catch and tame were the lives of us.  I was no different.  Everything was set out nicely, and you felt as if you were at home...playing the old black and white game (in the cases of the game boy colour, it was set to blue backgrounds and red backgrounds.)  Afterwards, 4Kids bought the series, and it went to sh*t.


Fire Emblem VII:



I don't think there has been a single player game with so much diversity and so many different paths of which you could make amongst your characters.  Fire Emblem was a very enjoyable experience, especially in its storyline...out surpassing its "clone" known as Advance Wars.



Super Smash Bros Melee:


More things to do?  You're kidding me!  Flawless multiplayer game, end of story.  Can't wait for Brawl.



The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time


Finally, a game with a bit of challenge!  The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the ultimate test for me as a gamer.  I recieved it at the age of 7, not knowing where to go or what to do.  I am 16 now, and I can play through the game still having a challenge on things.  Twilight Princess almost touched this game...but not quite.


Bomberman: The Second Attack


The ultimate of games.  It was short...but the storyline crafted the beginning of my imagination at the age of 8.   This severly underrated game was much different from the other Bomberman games, with 2P co-op mode...and the fun of blowing up things.  What really got me on this game though was Hudson's ability to make one of the most epic storylines ever (which is not common for any Bomberman game.)  I don't think there was a thing which was wrong with this game, and I loved it (and still love it) from front to back.

Zelda orcarina of time
Star Wars kotor 1
Star Wars Republic Commando
Civilization III (IVth gameplay is too slow)
