And I will keep going indefinitely until I die or something. Come along for the ride. Hopefully you guys will post and discuss so I don't look like a crazy person with sextuplet posts at a time.
Jumping Flash!
Playstation


I remember Jumping Flash! It was one of the first games for the Playstation, and one of the first ones I've ever played. I hold fond memories of playing the game because the early era PS happened to be some of the sweetest moments of gaming for me. As for the game itself, it was really quirky, and I loved the free camera style gameplay and the ability to jump really high. I haven't really played it in a while, though.

Fallout 3
Various


This game is like fucking crack cocaine. I got it to see 'lol wuts all the hype about' and ended up screwing up my sleep schedule for about a week because I played it every damn day all day. Seriously, it takes the post apocalyptic setting to a whole new level in every way you can imagine, the setting and the story is gripping, the gameplay is incredible, and the graphics and the music (HEY EVERYBODY DID THE NEWS GET AROUND ABOUT A GUY NAMED BUTCHER PETE) are mindblowing. Of course there are a few older Fallout fans that don't like the new direction but, what can I say? I love it.

Pac Man
Arcade and various


Everybody knows what Pac Man is, and most people have played it once. Usually people just kinda play it at pizza places and spend maybe about a dollar on it, but when I was a little kid, my mom told me how she was the only one she knew that actually beat Pac Man when she was about 16 or so, and that's when I got PAC MAN FEVER. Being a little kid and retarded, I beefed myself up to eventually be able to beat Pac Man too, and I eventually did when I was about 12 or so. I remember the last level being all neon signish and whatnot.

I didn't know it was possible to get past the first level of Pac-Man.
Also, what exactly do you like about Fallout 3? Have you had any random and exciting non-spoiler experiences to share? Have you played/can you compare it to Oblivion?

Kid Chameleon
Sega Genesis


Hey fuck this game. Now hey there, I love this game, it's one of my childhood favorites, but it's infamous in the gaming world for being incredibly long and difficult. The platforming is difficult, the gameplay is difficult, and the whole game is filled with teleporters that take you God knows where back and forth throughout ambiguous levels throughout the game. With that said, the game isn't impossible. Last year I bet my roommate that he couldn't beat it in a reasonable amount of time and he did, so if you keep at it you'll get it.
Also, is it just me, but has almost everyone I know named Kevin only existed in my childhood and I currently know no one named Kevin? I asked some other people I know and it seems to be the same for them; all the people they know named Kevin, they only knew in the mid 90s or so.

Ah, gladly. I love the game because it's so alive. Not alive in like, lush forest way, no (obviously), but great care was taken in the the setting and the people in the setting. For being a video game world, it poses a very believable, self contained world of post nuclear war in a world that while technically advanced, it was stuck in the 1950's 'World of Tomorrow' theme.
The game is very consistent with this, from old billboards, pre war items, the architecture, and little snippets of culture you can find. That's just one thing I like about it, the game as a whole feels very complete, there seems to be very little they left out and there is always, always something to do that's never tedious to start doing it. I've played Oblivion, and yeah, there is a resemblance, but it really isn't that strong, namely because Fallout doesn't have the shitty elements that Oblivion did. Was there a gameplay flaw about Oblivion you hated? Fallout 3 probably doesn't have it.
As far as random encounters that I find funny, there is a (randomly) group of Raiders you can find hazing a new one by taking turns beating him with a stick in his underwear. I also found a robot that though he was Button Gwinnet and I convinced him I was Thomas Jefferson.
Donkey Kong Country
Super Nintendo


Yeah I totally love me some Donkey Kong. This game is an SNES classic, and most everyone's played it at least once. I'm going to have to confess I've never really owned a Super Nintendo, I was a Sega kid, but when I played SNES over a cousins house, a friends house, or whatever, I always made sure to get me some DK. I remember two things about this game; it's long, and the music is kick ass. And wasn't some of those coins damn near impossible to find? But yeah, this game is definitely one of the best around, and I didn't really appreciate it when I was little, but the graphics are fucking stellar and they've hardly aged at all.

Yeah DKC1 and 3 kicked major ass. I've yet to play DKC2 though but it'll probably be as good as the others. I liked the first one much more than the third one though, probably due to seeing the "3D" graphics for the first time.
Battle Arena Toshinden
Playstation


Haha I totally remember this game dawg. Wow, just talking about this game takes me back. I remember this game was released during the early PS era where countless games tried to claw their way to the top and thus were promoted eagerly by their respective publishers and developers. This game was one of them, but unfortunately due to contenders like Tekken this game and the series as a whole was completely and utterly forgotten in the big picture, although the games themselves weren't bad. I remember a few characters, like Eiji, Ellis (the skank with the daggers), Rungo, and I always liked that tall dude with the golden guns, Vermillion. Ah well, one of those things.

I still have Battle Arena Toshinden 4 on the PSX. Vermillion was overpowered but I liked the way he tumbled as he shot his guns. I also remember a lot of mini games and those proved to be more fun than the actual fights.
The Granstream Saga
Playstation


The very first experience I had with this game is when my friend had it first; he brought it among some other games over my house to play and check out together. When this game circulated around, my friend asked me in the first 3 minutes of play
Friend: 'You wanna see some chick in this game naked?'
Me: 'AWW HELL YEAH'
Okay so basically I thought he was talking about a code or a secret scene or some shit but basically he went through THREE HOURS OF THE GAME to show me a scene where the main character sneaks on a ship or something to see some chick taking a shower but all you really see (I mean of course come on) is her silhouette and her with a towel on. Yeah so I guess that's what we thought was hot in 1998. Anyhow, I remember this game being alright, but it was like a very basic action RPG sort of with clunky combat. It wasn't bad but eh it wasn't that great either. I never beat it.

Power Stone
Dreamcast


POWER STONE MUTHAFUCKAS
Seriously, Power Stone is so much fun. The Dreamcast was a fun machine as it is with it's capabilities for 4 players, but Power Stone took it to a whole new level. I'll admit I'm a fighting game elitist, and I tend to (and I don't really like it, it's ingrained) to have a bias against LOL FUN PARTY-esque fighting games, but Power Stone won my heart. I just remember having three other friends (and sometimes one waiting to play) playing Power Stone and having more fun than we would have had playing a lot of other games, sometimes even Street Fighter (where people might just get angry; WHAT THE FUCK I TOTALLY WHIFFED THAT SUPER"). Seriously, I miss the Dreamcast.

Duck Hunt
Nintendo Entertainment System


I think Duck Hunt along with the Super Mario Bros game it was packaged with was the very first video game I've ever owned. Oh the days and nights I've spent playing Super Mario Bros. and never beating it, and then in frustration I tried Duck Hunt. I'm 21 years old and I'm a pretty decent shot now with you know, actual guns, but when I was 6 years old, I fucking couldn't even pull off hitting a duck with a plastic sensor gun. I was so terrible I had to put the barrel of the gun to the TV and I still never beat the game. One of these days I want to go back and beat it fair and square. Hey, I guess it'll happen when I'm like 40 or something and going through a midlife crisis.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Various


I've always loved Grand Theft Auto, mostly because my brother got into it, my brother LOVES stuff like Scarface, the Godfather, Goodfellas, Oz, Menace II Society, etc, so when Grand Theft Auto was out WAY back on the PS, he followed it, and I did too. Now, we're up to GTAIV (with expansions on the way) and I still enjoy the series, with San Andreas being my favorite due to the crazy gameplay and well, they pretty much nailed the ghetto, gang based, urban African American culture spot on.
The gameplay gets better with each one (even though I kinda was disappointed with some of the decisions with this one), the music always sets the mood, and the story and narrative are one of the best in video games, period. It's really interesting seeing the trials and tribulations of poor Niko Bellic, who just pretty much wants to be left alone but shit just keeps on finding him. I love the GTA narrative and I wish more genres would take some tips from it.

Holy shit this is one of those games that you think you'll be able to sit in front of and go 'Hey this isn't so bad' until you get to like the about a half hour in and then it because practically impossible to be able to hold your own at all. This is also one of those games where you wonder how they came up with the idea because it's pretty weird! I wish I had more to say on this game except the box art looks like a gay pride poster.
