Favorite Video Games from your childhood?

[Sheik]

No kidding.

Instead, we kept blowing those stupid cartridges in hopes that they would work.

THat, and it's hard to explain, but I'd try this trick:

Slide game almost all the way in, until where if you pressed the game down, it would kinda hit the edge of the front on the nintendo.

When it hit that edge, I'd force it down, almost to get the game as tight as I could to the front where the game slides in.

That used to work great for me.

I know exactly what trick that was because I did it too.

There was another where we would blow into the cartridge while holding it under your shirt....like using the shirt as a filter.

The other was to wiggle the cartridge back and forth while in the NES by that little indention in the top corner.

Funny thing is that these methods worked better than actually using the NES cleaning kit which was practically worthless.

Best character in MK1 and since is Scorpion.

And, if you argue this point I will fuck you up.

GET OVER HERE!

Scorpion was my favorite in MK2, but in MK1, I was beastly with Johnny Cage.

If we were to ever hang out and play Scorpion would make you pay for this insolence.

What was the 2-player arcade football game where you pulled back a separate joystick that controlled where and how hard you threw the ball? It was big in the late 80's and we got one on the Saratoga when I was on there in 1990 and took it to the gulf with us... much money dropped in that bad boy.

First and 10 in the mid-80's was the shit.

And if you couldn't run for at least 4,500 yards a season with Emmitt in Joe Montana's '94 football then you were still on Momma's teat.

There is zero chance of you ever beating me at a fighting game.

But if we ever do cross paths, I'll gladly play you for a 12 pack.

Ace you liked video games?

Just a little.

I know it's not very obvious, but I wanted to be discreet about my interest in games. unce

Yes, it is.

As a matter of fact, I have MK2 on PSN. I don't know if they still support the servers, but I'll check later.
