One of the first games I got besides SMB on NES was the great game Rygar. The music on this game is damn good I was hooked.

Me and my brother called the Bart vs the Space Mutants hotline because we couldn't figure out how to beat the final boss. It turned out that there was a little ledge right in the middle of the screen that you had to jump on and we couldn't see it on our shitty late 1980's low res TV's. We felt so stupid.

Edit: I just watched a video on youtube of the final level and it wasn't even a boss. It was just a dinosaur that didn't move and shot fireballs in a simple platforming section right before the end. I shouldn't have gone back...ohhh the pain, the pain!

I'm amazed someone was able to make it past the 2nd level in that game.

I don't think I ever stayed up all night playing Atari 2600 (was still too young) but I have a lot of hours clocked in on it. My brother and I used to fight for the best score in Laser Blast. Super simple but addicting game. As were most from that generation. Combat is probably still amazing.

I also had a 5200 (underrated system) [Controllers were a little weird] and played the hell out of Vanguard and Jungle Hunt and the ever infamous Pengo among others.

Tyler, same thing in Colorado. Lived here my whole live and I've had maybe 5 snow days from elementary to college... Stuff rarely closes here due to weather, it has to be so bad in order for them to do. I always laugh when I see other cities close down for a couple inches and we get 8-10 and everything is still open

I laugh even harder at that then you do.

I was kinda interested in the new one they did on PS2 because I enjoyed the original as well, but I heard it was crap.

 
I played and finished Rygar PS2, it was one of those games that kept getting sold for $3-$5 from Gamestop new. I thought it was pretty damn good. 

 
Whenever I play games with the middle child she likes to spend all her time making the character either fall into water or run into walls, while laughing manically about it. "Don't fall into the water! Watch where you're going!"

I played it, it wasn't bad. The whole shield throwing thing was interesting. I had no affinity for the 2d platformer that you loved so much though.

Sorry, I got busy at work. It's online in the GHTV part. If you're playing free channel songs, every once in a while you enter this matchup game against somebody live in the channel. You can turn it off if you don't want to do it, but if you win I think you get lots of XP (I'm maxed out so I'm not sure, just repeating what someone said online).

 
NES had a bunch of fun but weird one-offs. Hopefully you guys all played most of these at some point:

How long does it take to get used to the new guitar controller and input method?

I'm still learning and I've put a ton of time in it. I can FC most songs on Advanced, but Expert is fucking brutal. My brain can't handle the three finger chords yet on the fly, and I was a gold star Expert player on the RB/GH games.

It's pretty damn fun, though. There's a great progression and leveling system.

Playthrough #1 done, it seems weird that the remix bosses peaked in difficulty at boss 2 and declined after that. On to NG+ to collect the last rune and the rest of the blueprints.

pros/cons? my company has an office out there so I'm considering packing up the crew and heading west without the help of bugles. the cost of living doesn't seem completely insane there but I don't know much about it - is it heavily urban or suburban? we're also considering moving in down the street from our portland resident psnots. regardless, it's time for an adventure!

Has this been mentioned here? Weird.

Where are you thinking of moving? I lived in Ocean Beach (awesome) and Bankers Hill (near the zoo/museums - awesome). It gets more suburban the farther away you move from the water (to where the reasonably affordable homes are).

Pros:

  • Hottest women in the country
  • Weather
  • Beaches are gorgeous - so much nicer than our crappy east coast ones
  • Hodad's, In 'N Out and good Mexican food
Cons:

  • People are surprisingly conservative (politically - may be a pro for you)
  • Not very many people are college educated
  • Lots of military d-bags (I like the military, but San Diego has three bases nearby, and I'd get in fights more than once because some d-bag would grab my girlfriend's ass or something)
  • Expensive
Bottom line: if I had the chance to move back I'd probably do it in a heartbeat.

I moved around a lot in my 20s when I discovered that I could pick up and leave whenever and get by temping. But I've lived in Charlotte the longest by far (grew up here and back here now) and that's where my allegiances are.

I do like the Bears and Cubs, though (lived in Chicago for 7 years). And of course the mighty Northwestern Wildcats.

Most review outlets thought it was good, which is what I remember hearing about it. Never actually played it myself though.

In review, never believe anything I say.

 
Yo Vig (or anyone else that's played it),

How is Revengence?  Is it hard or crazy button pressing quick wittied madness?  Or just fun slice shit up good times?

Thinking of starting it next after GoW Ascension.

nice, except for d-bags. I don't care for d-bags. looks like one of the offices is just north of the miramar military base. I don't mind conservative having grown up in kansas and everything else sounds good or manageable. The expensive thing might be obnoxious but seeing as I was planning on ending up in oakland or going somewhat house poor when I was going to work in mountain view I suspect the situation will look slightly better in san diego. thanks!

edit - we'd probably leave in the spring. our house is all dolled up and ready to sell minus a couple little cleanup things so we're pretty well ready to jump as soon as we get the urge.

Something I remember from the Atari 2600 days was that there was the guy from school who had a bunch of us over to his house and in his room he had a magazine rack - yes a magazine rack - filled with Hustler magazines and others and and tons more just strewn about on his floor. The guy was super creepy so we didn't stay long. Pretty weird. We all looked at those, but we didn't display them on a magazine rack in our room and certainly not for our parents to find.

It's awesome you will need to at least parry.

this is definitely something I miss about the pre-internet days. discovering the weird porno mag stashes in other people's lives. I have a friend who I think to this day still maintains a stash hidden in the ceiling of his basement despite the availability of the internet and I just couldn't be more amused about that.

I bet the girls in those magazines had the hugest of bushes. Big as turtles.

 
If you never played Blaster Master on the NES you missed on of the best games for the system. I picked this game for my 8th bday from ToysRUs. I picked a gem and one of the best game choices for the NES.

Therm Karnov was also a great game with great music. Love that game!

I'm envious of people that can just pack up and start a new life adventure in a new city when the whim calls them. I thought about doing that on my own when all this separation/divorce stuff started happening, but obviously can't because of the kid. Still, those emails from Amazon talking about jobs they had from me were awfully tempting.

It's awesome, but if you button-mash you'll likely die (at least on Hard; I'm not sure how much easier the lower difficulties are). It's different from other action games I've played in that there's no dodge button--the only way you can "avoid" attacks is to either run directly away from them or parry them. To parry, you tilt the analog stick towards the attack while hitting Box; if you time it perfectly, you'll execute a counter, but otherwise the parry timing is generous.
