CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 With my comment to Marvin's gulag musing about his NES games, I present to you my 'obscenely fun NES games that no one in the world but I played.' Toobin, Galaxy 5000, Kid Niki. Bad News Baseball kicked ass, by the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scroby 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 I think Galaxy 5000 was a game that was a sidescrolling spaceship game. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted July 7, 2008 Bad News Baseball kicked ass, by the way. 100% agree. I spent most of a summer trying to beat that thing, with a shitty wireless controller that barely worked, no less. Wireless controller technology wasn't perfected until the wavebird controller for Gamecube, so imagine how GOD AWFUL it would have been way back on the NES. No, I don't know why I continued to use it. I think I just liked the novelty of a wireless controller. But yeah Bad News Baseball rocked, and eventually I kicked its ass.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2008 Toronto was the best in Bad News Baseball. The top three of the order were fast and can easily cash in runs by just hitting doubles the majority of the game. Stealing was a sinch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just found it when I was cleaning the basement. I'm tempted to make an N64-to-USB connector so I can stop playing N64 games with a knockoff PS2 controller.

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 Here's a new trailer for The Force Unleashed. I went out and put down a preorder for it today. I think that's just a coincidence, but I could be wrong. Also put down 5 for Too Human. Sure it's been in development hell and sure it's looked kind of rough graphically speaking in the videos so far, but I'm convinced it will be good dammit!

Sadly the systems have returned at work and there's like a billion customers needing sim replacements/transfers and shit so I won't be watching these any time soon.

I almost beat a pair of players but lost 3-2. I just beat a pair 4-3 and took 30 less shots than they did, because they just had to send me a message about it afterwards too. I shot 30 less on goal than they did, and even led by 2 at one point. If you want to play sometime, hit me up. I run with the San Jose Sharks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Playing Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga and Lego Indiana Jones made me think about something... Lego Batman is coming soon...and I was pondering an idea I had that I wanted to get opinions of the people here on: For a super-hidden-secret character (like how Indy was in LSW: TCS and Han was in LIJ)...maybe Superman could be a character? Him being well hidden as his powers would be above those of the other characters in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
