Lots of good times with that machine as a kid, it is still operational after all these years mind you (at least I think it is, lol). Good think to know that if all Windows madness bursts into flames I can revert back to my Amstrad dinosaur,lol (well not really but it is the thought that counts, heh)<BR/><BR/>Take care all!Deadpoolitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14764796598421240921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769098696247641341.post-24381745139005641992007-06-25T22:57:00.000+03:002007-06-25T22:57:00.000+03:00Great post....I guess I lived a sheltered childhoo...Great post....<BR/><BR/>I guess I lived a sheltered childhood - my first insight into the gaming world (after the chunky hand held space invader games), was my first computer (Vic20 then Commodore64 for those who are old enough to remember) - the 20 minute wait for the game to load from the tape-cassette made it seem even more exciting. Then things moved on and then we progressed to a propoer windows PC with all new exciting games (that could be loaded onto a hard drive and played at will). Then came along any young adult's dream...the Playstation. Goodness such a choice... The "Final Fantasy" series kept me gripped for years. I don't get much time for games so much now - but I must admit that the PS3 catches my eye every time I walk through a Mall (I can here it calling, even now...."buy me!!")<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the trip down memory lane...heck I feel old now!<BR/><BR/>Take care ~ GrahamGraham Ettridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483586705365890235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769098696247641341.post-81344160399968889142007-06-24T07:29:00.000+03:002007-06-24T07:29:00.000+03:00So many memories !I envied all my friends who had ...So many memories !<BR/><BR/>I envied all my friends who had a Nitendo when I was young. I only had a Gameboy with Tetris (and the Tetris music... oh no, it's stuck in my head again !). <BR/><BR/>I was a big gamer until probably high school. Then you know, I was back to reading. Yeah, I'm a nerd.<BR/><BR/>I go through phases where I would play non-stop, but only on computers. I had my SIMS phase, my Civilisation phase etc.<BR/><BR/>I can't get used to the true gaming now. Best I can do is play on my computer. I tried to play on the Playstation with my brother, but he kicked my ass. That was painful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769098696247641341.post-44019550013295956842007-06-23T07:14:00.000+03:002007-06-23T07:14:00.000+03:00@shan1)It was all about the excessive speed on off...@shan<BR/><BR/>1)It was all about the excessive speed on offer for me. I mean SOnic was running sometimes so fast he got out of the screen literally:) Good fun times:)<BR/><BR/>2)It has escalated from a niche game to a well known franchise now. Man - shotgun- zombies the trilogy of happiness for every man:) (I am sick I know, guilty as charged,lol). Resident Evil 4 is a gaming masterpiece by the way even for someone that doesnt like Resident Evil in general, tremendous fun that game!<BR/><BR/>Having fun is what this is all about (DP closing his eye with a wink)!<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend Shan!<BR/><BR/>2)Welcome Jo!<BR/><BR/>Both Nintendo DS and the Wii made gaming accessible to people that were intimidated by complicated controls and gamepads. At the end of the day it is all about having fun!<BR/><BR/>As for Sonic, I have a soft spot for the blue furball, that is where my console gaming started (although when I played SOnic Heroes for 5 mins I thought that would be where my console gaming would stop as well, lol, it was that bad , lol).<BR/><BR/>Good fun times indeed, simpler times... Have a great weekend!<BR/><BR/>3)Newbies overdose for DP today it seems:) Welcome k.j.!<BR/><BR/>You are a true modern hero you know, 3 kids and a husband addicted to games plus your own gaming fixes now and then. I think we have a candidate for the super mom of the year in our hands! Personally, I am really looking forward to try and make my parents play with the Wii, just thinking of my mom playing Wii bowling makes me giggle! I'd better have some funds ready to replace the TV in case she gets overexcited:)<BR/><BR/>Glad you like the blog and hope to talk to you soon again!<BR/><BR/>@comicgeek<BR/><BR/>The untapped potential of the casual gamer user base was a wise marketing target for Nintendo. People that were left out of gaming now feel part of the fun, great achievement from the company. All they need now is a game where a desperate housewife chases the husband around with a slipper like a wannabe Michael Myers (as in the Halloween one not the comedian,lol) because he got home late. Survival horror of the highest order:)<BR/><BR/>As for SEGA I loved it as a kid and Sonic was just so much cooler than that other italian plumber. Still got all my consoles by the way, I even got my Amstrad CPC 6128 stashed somewhere. I was never much into selling I am afraid.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend!Deadpoolitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14764796598421240921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769098696247641341.post-76136228484831556472007-06-23T05:32:00.000+03:002007-06-23T05:32:00.000+03:00It's funny you say that about women and the Wii. ...It's funny you say that about women and the Wii. My wife has never shown any serious interest in gaming outside of occasionally playing a sports game with me after I beg/barter with her.<BR/><BR/>Then the other day we are sitting here watching Tv and she says "Why didn't you get a Wii instead of your 360?" Being a male, and therefore a smartass, I said "What difference does it make, you don't play games anyhow?" She responded to me "If you bought me a Wii I would, those commercials look like fun."<BR/><BR/>So needless to say, we now are plannig on buying a Wii for her and the kids once we come up with $250.<BR/><BR/>As far as Sega vs. SNES back in the day? SNES had all the cool games, but Sega had Sonic, so me and my best friend each asked or a different one for Christmas and dragged them back and forth to eah others houses everyday. We got the best of both worlds, and I loved them both. (I had the SNES by the way, still have it in fact.)Adam Silfvenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284783773009028499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769098696247641341.post-46353624535906179802007-06-23T05:22:00.000+03:002007-06-23T05:22:00.000+03:00Dead, As a woman I can tell you I love the DS and...Dead, As a woman I can tell you I love the DS and the WII. I live with 3 boys and 1 husband...all addicted gamers. The DS and Wii are the first ones I've wanted to play. I love Brain Age for the DS and the Wii is just too fun. Nintendo really hit the mark with both products. My kids haven't looked at the playstation in months.
