NES:
River City Ransom - How cool is this game. You beat up dudes and then they turn into bouncing silver coins. Wouldnt it be cool if that happened in real life! Plus you gain knowledge from eating broccoli beef. Whenever I go to Panda Express, I always get the Orange Chicken, and my courage goes up by two points.

Double Dribble - Everybody's claim to fame is that no one can beat them in double dribble. Well I can. Classic. Find the right staple on the floor and you can drain 3's all day. 980 degree dunks! No problem! Slam from the 3 point line, goal tend without getting called for it. Oh yeah, it's always fun to pause the game and rub it in while your doing a slam dunk on your opponent. On a side note, how come when a black player gets the ball he turns white?

Super Dodge Ball - Nothing is more fun that using Swami and team India against the evil Russians. Swami's got mad game, wicked mad game. Nothing like hitting a guy and watching him turn into a fairy and soar to the heavens. Classic. Plus the animation when the players get tired is hilarious. It looks like they are dry heaving.

SNES:
Tecmo Super Bowl 3, Final Edition - I do a season every year with Chad (when he is not flaking of course). Rushing for 400 yards a game and blowing out teams by 90 is the way I like my sports games. I once rushed for 25,000 yards in one season...that's one season. I'm all about old school when it comes to sports games. I can't even play the new ones. In the new football games, I am always off sides or I dive accidently when I hike the ball for a loss of 5 yards. Forget that, give me Tecmo Bowl.

Super Punch Out - Had a bad day at work, take it out on Gabby Jay. I played this game so much, my record maxed out. I think I am 299-0. Why did the game makers stop there? Guess they thought no idiot would ever play that many matches. I did!

NINTENDO 64:
Conkers Bad Fur Day - This game is untouchable when it comes to silly side games. Nothing beats storming the beach of Normandy with Squirrels while evil Teddy Bears shot the hell out of you. Sounds weird, well it is, but it's also loads of fun. Alan and I have this game down, and we have nicknames for every character and area of the beach. There is no way your going to make it with myself on the snipper riffle and Al on the Bazooka. Just get back in the boat and head back to France, stupid Squirrels. This game also produced a word I still use to this day, Feck. I think that is the nicknames we gave the squirrels. It's referenced in the game somewhere. I still use the word, "that stupid feck cut in front of me."

WWF No Mercy - Me, Alan, Brent, Rod and Chad were so into this game at one point it was ridiculous.. We would have PPV's every month and play almost once a week. We made up a fake wrestling federation with all our own characters. This game was classic. Nothing beat a 4-way ladder match. And no wrestling game since can touch it. The Smackdown franchise came close. To this day, no one, NO ONE, has ever beatin Al and I in a tag team match.

Mario Cart 64 - How in the hell does Yoshi always get a freakin star man at the end of the race? Al and I reference this game all the time. In fact, I want to attach a red shell on the back of my car, like it's about to hit me. I'll get a huge laugh from some dork while driving. It's also good to have knowledge of this game while watching the Fast and the Furious Movies. Paul Walker threw down a banana peel which spun out his opponent, then he hit the nitro, I mean the star man, to win the race. If he had a red shell, it would have been good to use at the start of the race. It's also good to reference this game while driving in real life. "That Feck is tailgaiting me, I wish I had a green shell, I would shoot it backwards and spin his ass out."

Bond - Come on. Do I even have to explain. The countless battles. All the nicknames. And freakin Odd Job. Damn him and his height. When Odd Job gets close to you, its over. No time to point down and shoot. But watch out, I am a madman with the remote mines. I got so good at one point, I knew all the areas where the guys would reappear after they died, so right when they came back to life I would blow them up again with the remote mine. Cheating? If it's in the game, there's no such thing as cheating. This game also coined the phrase "pussy footing." A phrase made up by Dave, it's whenever someone camps out in a dark corner and kills you out of nowhere. Ah yes, that always angered Dave, and mad Al and I laugh until it hurt.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - I got into this game like everyone else did. So much do to. Just riding the freakin' horse was awesome. And you could kill a few hours just fishing. Is it me, or does link say "tit" when jumping back and forth during battle. Maybe it's just a stupid grunt....or maybe it's not....

PS2:
Balders Gate Dark Alliance - This game was great. It was also evil. Al and I would be completely stunned to find the clock was at 3am when we played this game. Huh, but it was midnight like 5 minutes ago.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City - Tons of senseless violence and gore. Forget all of that, I just want to drive on the beach with my stolen bus while listening to 99 loft balloons. Seriously, forget all of those fast cars and all the violence. I just want to drive the bus on the beach. If I happen to run over someone while doing it, it's their damn fault, come on people, there's a bus driving on the beach blasting 99 loft balloons, get out of the way!

Metal Slug - When I heard this game was coming out for the PS1 I got very excited. It's a better version of Contra, but instead of Aliens, your fight evil people from Iraq.

Champions of Norrath - Balders Gate but with 4 players...Kick ass. I love dungeon hack games, and this one is top notch.

ARCADE:
NBA Jam - Oh the lines for NBA Jam! Throw your quarter down and proclaim "next" to everyone standing around. I played this back in the day when the featured guys on the Kings were Mitch Richmond and Wayman Tisdale (or maybe it was Spud Wedd). When you got on fire, watch out. The dunks were explosive and so was the trash talkin! The big heads were great, which is symbolism for how big their ego's are.

Outrun - I remember going to Chucky Cheeses just for this game. Remember when Chucky Cheese had all the latest games. Ha! This game was classic, and perhaps the first that let you actually sit in a car while playing (Pole Position just had the steering wheel). It kicked ass, and I remember the blond chic in the passenger seat, the radio stations that you could select. How come you can never find radio stations in real life like the ones in Outrun. "Hmm, what's on the 'passing breeze' channel."

Final Fight - I remember Dave and I got together one Saturday morning, we both had 20 dollars in quarters, and we said "today's the day we beat Final Fight." We did it, and a group gathered around to watch the ending. I was "Guy", Dave was "Hagar," and the rest is history. Final Fight was the best 2 player arcade game of it's time. Plus when kids got into fights in the playground, their fight stances looked a lot like Guy's or Hagar's. They usually got their asses kicked.

SEGA:
Sonic the Hedgehog - Sega's answer to Nintendo's Mario was Sonic. It was awesome, and the music still cracks me up. It was wicked fast, it spun around, upside down, it was insanity. I played it all the time, and it was the only game I ever had for the Genesis.

MISC:
Oregon Trail - Back in the day, Summer school was just a cheap babysitter when your parents were at work, and the teachers knew it. All we did was play Oregon Trail. I was always a banker from Boston. What the hell do you mean I can't take back all this meat, how far away is the damn wagon! Park it closer! Plus I learned all about diseases from this game. Typhoid! I always died of typhoid. And that damn thief would always steal all our clothes, then I would die of typhoid later. When my sister got sick, I would ask Mom to make sure it wasn't Typhoid.
