Thank you! I've been tryna think of those names for a while, damn I spent hours playing those. Me and my mom used to play California Games, it was the only thing we really ever did at home.

Damn, I miss the 90s. I loved that too, and in the skating game I'd always hit the water just 'cause I liked the sound.

Y'know, it's funny seeing how games went from 2 colors, to eight to 16 then 256 and then into the millions. Games use to have anywhere from 2 to 5 or so frames of animation...now we have 60 frames and high definition. I guarantee that very soon, games will look just like you're playing television..they're pretty close right now. The one that almost did it was Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil Zero on the Gamecube. Freekin amazing I tell ya

SKATE... OR... DIE... SKATE OR DIE! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!

lol I remember that shit! California games was classic too! I couldn't be defeated in Hackey Sack!

My parents had an Atari 2600 from my earliest memories. I know that around the age of 4 or 5 I was somewhat of a Missile Command prodigy. I'd say I began playing around 1983. I got hooked on Nintendo back in the day when IRiSH and I used to play shit like Basewars and Tecmo Bowl!

My favorites of all time, in no particular order, would go something like:
Dragon Warrior 1 2 3 4 7
Tetris (just about any incarnation)
Tecmo Superbowl
Fable 1 (the game that turned me from Sony to MS)
Hexic HD
Gears 1 (the only shooter that I have ever ACTUALLY enjoyed)

Probably more, but that's a pretty solid representation of my all time faves!

My first gaming was playing pinball up at the corner gas station. I had to stand on a milk crate to see the table. Then the Asteroids coin-op showed up one day and I was hooked. Getting an Atari for my birthday I'm pretty sure was just my parents trying to save money from my Arcade Addiction. It worked, I would play for hours or even days to try and score a million points. If you took a picture of your TV with the million points and sent it in ( I think it was Activision ) they would send you a patch. I had a jean jacket just covered with those things. I think it's in a box somewhere, I should find it.

Then a funny thing happened. About the time the NES and other systems came out I found something more fun to play with...(GIRLS) Hehe!!! I still played games like Punch Out and Tetris over at friends houses but I had lost my Addiction to gaming.

It wasn't till after I was married and saw a demo of this new thing called a Playstation that I started to get that twitch back. My first Playstation game was called Nova Storm and I was hooked all over again. My favorite PS game was (no laughing) Who wants to be a millionaire. The Need for Speed series was also a favorite followed by the tons of Fighting games.

The computer world still ruled the land of shooters, but that started to change with the release of the PS2. I remember when Socom came out and you could go online and order your squad around with voice comands. I was like it can't get any more real than this. Sony was in it's golden age and pretty much ruled the land of gaming.

When Xbox was announced I was not only a bit skeptical but also a loyal Sony fanboy. I didn't get one right away. Sony would always be better that Microshit or so I thought at the time. But as time passed I wanted more online play and Sony was dragging it's feet. With the launch of Xbox Live I was like, That's what I want. The only problem was that the cable company didn't offer internet. I still had a blast with games like Black, Riddick, Soul Caliber, and Madden and many others.

Xbox 360 was announced a week after we moved. I wasted no time in getting not only high speed internet and cable but also a HDTV. I got my 360 on launch day and signed up a gold account and joined the online gaming fun.

and he lived happily ever after!!!
