| The_Rorschach | And none of you guys mention G.I. Joe ? Only one says Transformers? Those and Star Wars were my biggest loves after Thifty's Ice Cream and riding my "Night Rider" big wheel. | |

Lafayette, LA. It's a BITCH to even get through town right now though. Mardi Gras madness is in FULL SWING. Thank God I didn't have plans to go east, New Orleans this time of year is congested New York style. |

I wouldn't feel bad when someone beats you on an N64. Feel bad for the guy who paid for it and will live out their olden years cursing at pain thanks the weird layout on that damn thing. Seriously, a DC controller is a virtual massage compared to the N64 Torture Device. |

| Systemz | My cousin had me over the other day and we were playing Halo on his X Box and I swear to God I felt like an old bastard for someone of two decades... He's handing my ass to me in an FPS like I've never played a round of Doom in my life until I realized I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO OPERATE THE CONTROLLER. I was holding it like an N64 - which is to say, like a complete freak. My cousins mocked me for hours so I coerced them into pulling out their N64 where I bitchslapped them on Goldeneye for an hour. Nothing, but nothing, beats crushing someone half your age in a hyperviolent video game. | |

haha. my son is with my ex, who lives with his brother, every other week. and he's constantly complaining that one or the other of those "adults" won't let him play when he wants. his nana bought him his own tv to shut him up. i was like that when we first got the super nes. the zelda. up all night. it kicked my butt at first. i remember being so scared of dying in that first castle. lol. i wouldn't get close enough to the dude with the mace to kill him. and i had to get that damn zelda out of the cell to move on. needless to say, i hadn't played video games since we had an atari growing up. it didn't take long before i was with it. |

That's why they keep me around  It think it's cool you play Zelda. I remember when my parents got me my NES - it was Christmas Day, 1988 - and I went totally batshit. I was playing and my Dad was watching - and he started to ask me wierd questions like "how do you run fast?" and making comments on my gameplay. Suddenly it was time for dinner and he's like "I think you've had enough, son". So we have dinner and I go play transformers for awhile, and around 9:00 I walk into the living room and dad's got the NES controller in his hand - all he says is "it's time for bed. Kiss your Mom goodnight". So being the good boy I am I go to bed. I sleep dreams of goomba stomping and get up at 7:30 to play me some Duck Hunt - and he's still there - razor stubble, in his underpants (clothes tossed all over) on level eight, fighting Bowser. And when he finally beats him my Dad shouts to the heavens There, damn you! I am the master! I am the king! I AM SUPER MARIO! and then passes out on the couch. He never touched an NES controller again. |

 the cords to two of our 64 controllers are barely hanging on 'cause my son gets that way, too. i've had to put the damn thing up in the closet more times than i can count. he beat that game the first time when he was five. and he talked me through a few of those bosses the first time i got through it. a few times, i've dreamed i was in this big old house and all of the sudden, there's this huge hand coming from the ceiling at me.  and i like that sades. :P |

Word, Sades, word. I remember throwing the controller across the room because I fell into a lava pit just one too many times, screaming that Link was a "Little Elfin Bitch" - this was a pretty common occurence but the controller arced across the den and slammed into my buddy's face - he had got so used to me screaming at the television he didn't even blink when I told him to "watch out!". It cracked him right in the temple and the cord wrapped around his neck - it seriously looked like he had been strangled to death by the N64. |

| Systemz | The number one most addictive for me was Zelda 64. I know that's pretty nouveaux, but damn if I didn't lose about two weeks of my life on that game. I had just moved out and was a freshman in University and I swear I nearly failed because of that game. | |

| Generator86 | Star Wars toys and the NES. And for some reason, I could never have enough Legos, even though I rarely used them. | |

| Raistlin | aye... I remember the MacDonalds' SMB3 toys. I had the Racoon Mario jumper thing. You pressed it to a hard flat surface, and after a few minutes it would jump off. My "friend" stole it... this was also the "friend" who dumped my Blaster Master cartridge into a bubblebath... lucky for me it still worked. I would say the NES was my tool.. even though i didn't have a lot of games (maybe 12) i was always trying to rent them, and i was one of the few who were saving up enough to buy the ultimate for the time, the Game Genie, for 40 dollars. That and it took much of my time. | |

kinot: Earthbound freaking rocked. And i still have that damn mario doll with the suction cup that never worked. I did manage to get it stuck to the window of our '89 aerostar. There's still a nice brown circle on the back window. |

| CastroMotorOil | I'll also jump on the Turtles bandwagon. Back in the day I made my parents buy WAY to many of those action figures. | |

Transformers. Then I grew up a bit and like some poor misguided fool got into Warhammer. Then it turned eveil and corporate and I got into punk. Oh the Irony. |

I'll back the Turtles. I swear those mofos must have had two hats full of either animals or professions that they would mix and match just to get the new line of action figures. Cockroach and exterminator? SCUMBUG! Moose and RCMP officer? MONTY MOOSE with special "Rusty the Booster Squirrel" companion. Mole and Miner? DIRTBAG! And so forth. Problem was they were pretty fucking cool when they did it. Damn shame most of the toy line didn't find itself into the Eastman/Laird version. Now that would have been interesting. |

 Earthbound.Does anyone remember the McDonald's Mario Bros. toys? The only one I can remember was a Mario figure with a suction cup... I think he was in racoon form. I don't remember much of the description though. Yes, I too wanted everything Nintendo orientated, even the glasses :/ All they were were just glasses with the nintendo logo |
