I recently got another N64 and a ton of games. I'm currently reliving all my past gaming. Same with the SNES a while ago. I finally beat Earthbound, having played that game on and off for most of my childhood.

I love sonic every time I play reminds me of being a kid.
I think I own sonic 1 on every type of console you can get it for.
I downloaded sonic spinball a few days ago on my iPhone too.

When I saw http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/04/07/ragnarok-online-goes-free-to-play/

RO had an incredibly long open beta period years ago, and many boring summer days were occupied with it. If I didn't already have too many other things to do nostalgia would have made a return very tempting.

I just bought a in double disc collectors edition of.....


Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness, mint condition :rock:



"All right, you primitive screw-heads, listen up! See this?

This... is my boomstick! -It's a twelve-gauge, double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department.

That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt-blue steel, and a hair trigger.

That's right... shop smart: shop S-Mart... You got that?"

:)
I'm happy

I Love The Evil Dead series! But recently I watched Omega Man again and it had been a while and It felt so good seeing Charlton Heston kick ass again. RIP Charlton

I remember beating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgbkOrZc42k&feature=related then getting killed by a species that I thought I killed off.

I would love to see a modern remake even with the same graphics.

you sir, just made my day.

I literally trying to come up with a qoute but my braind is stumbling and all I can come up with is the part where he has to say the magic words to the book, the thing is, I can't recall them either. other than they were the same words from the day the earth stood still (classic)

isn't weird having seen that movie though and at the same time seeing K-mart commercials where their slogon is shop smart. lol

Not recently, but when I was little, I played the Aladdin game on The super nintendo and could never beat it without the help of my cousin. a couple of years ago, I picked it up again, and beat it. it was pretty awesome! oh! and also... I still haven't beat ocarina of time yet to this day... so shameful....

Watched Dragonball Z Revised the other day. Although it's a parody, I just felt like a little kid again.

I haven't beat a Legend of Zelda game since the SNES/Gameboy(Link's awakening is the last one I beat(if that's the one where he's on the island in a dream with Marin). All that despite owning every zelda game since EXCEPT windwaker(walker?). Never bought that one because I can't stand that particular art style. haven't even played TP yet.

I remember seeing that at the theater when I was like 18 or 19 I think. Can't remember exactly when it came out.

I'm not very prone to nostalgia. I don't care about living in the past nor do I feel very affectionate toward things just because I enjoyed them in my childhood.

The reasons I play Sonic and other older games still is because they are still very fun for me to play.
