I do hope that FOTEPX Airlines doesn't accidently crash over your vicinity...

Destruction Derby anyone? :)

Oh my god yes. Although I never liked you could only play 3 cars.

I loved Crash Bandicoot, and its too bad they don't make them anymore.  But the holy grail would have to be Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal 2. I honestly miss the PSone days of gaming, when graphics and online didn't matter, just the pure fun of the game.

No it didn't. I would smite the plane with my mighty fist and shatter it into a milion pieces before it touches the ground anyways. Other airlines, however, have crashed.

The town is quite vulnerable to earthquakes, flooding and plane accidents though. Maybe the windmill farm right next to the airport isn't such a good idea.

CRAZY BUS is where it's at. Just listen to that brilliant soundtrack! It really pushes the capabilities of the Mega Drive.

I remember playing the third version on my PS2, actually

Retro (Pre PS2) games are mostly garbage (Hello better graphics please)

I would totally play that.

It looks more like TI-99/4A graphics though.

Get the Hell out of my thread.

Graphics aren't everything. If the gameplay is terrible and/or buggy, the game will be rubbish regardless of whether the graphics are nice or not, but if the gameplay mechanic works well, then it can be good even if it doesn't really look nice. Hell, even some modern games have graphics that could be considered sub-par and the gameplay is still good. (I would say that this is mainly for the DS/PSP, although there are probably some for the PS3/360/Wii). I have never seen a time where good graphics have been a factor that makes the game good, apart from in some cases where I have seen the reviewers say 'at least it looks nice' and, to be honest, that's probably a game you don't want to buy.

I know which one I'd rather play...

[courthousedoc]

Okay okay i admit it's not the graphics that get to me... It's that there's no way to save your progress in most older games
That being said i do enjoy some older games:

I own a Sega Game Gear and own (And enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog & Sonic Chaos)

Pac-Man is F*****g awesome

Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) was awesome aside from the S****y camera

The N64 Has some pretty stellar games (Starfox 64, the Turok franchise (What the happened to it anyway?), Pokemon Puzzle League, The two Banjo-Kazooie games for the console,)

The Syphon Filter games for the ps1 were cool

I'm not that big on ping-pong but i do respect Pong because without it there would be no RA2's or Okamis (Or any video games for that matter)

Asteroids is a blast (Get it blast... Your blasting Asteroids to bits)

And I am hopelessly addicted to Breakout

Retro (Pre PS2) games are mostly garbage (Hello better graphics please)

 

I know which one I'd rather play...

I'd rather play Duke Nukem (As it's easier (And a lot more risque) the COD Black Ops)

[ianh05]

duke is simply more fun IMO, the characters are better, the voice acting is better, the one liners are awesome, there were no elitists to worry about in multi-player, more enjoyable single player and better scenery.

[DigiWolfeh]

modern sonic is actually alot better then classic. 

[Kossokei]

modern sonic is actually alot better then classic. 

Well, Sonic Battle Adventures 2 was the only modern game of Sonic I've played, and it was pretty good. Voice acting was good, Voice PLACEMENT was horribadisastrous. I mean seriously..

"He's using the chaos emerald tomytenalemepoisrtshadow!"
To this day I still don't know wtf Shadow said. Good gameplay though.

I grew up on
-Carmageddon 1 and 2
-GTA2 and 3
-Mortal Kombat 2 and 3
-Street Fighter 2
-POKEMONPOKEMONPOKEMONPOKEMONPOKEMON
-Metal Gear Solid 1
-TEKKEN
-Soul Calibur 1 and 2
-Stratosphere
-Driver 1 and 2
-Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction (Potate, you potatoes!)
-I THINK it was RA1, idk..
-Namco Museum and Midway's Greatest Treasures (A ton of arcade games, basically)
and finally
-Joust

"My name is Shadow- I'm the world's ultimate life form. There's no time for playing games- farewell!"
 
I always thought that was intentional- it's not like when they're fighting each other, they're going to let each other politely finish. I do still have Sonic Adventure 2: Battle actually, and I do still play it from time to time.

[Kossokei]

Well yeah, but I think that one part would be so much better if it were "He's using the Chaos Emerald to teleport!" and THEN "My name is Shadow.."

I think if he wanted to interrupt Sonic, he'd be all like "EY, I'M A GODDAMN MOTHAF**KIN RED AND BLACK HEDGEHOG AND I'M YOU AND LOGIC SUCKS SO YEAH GOTTA GO NOW COPS ARE COMING"

And the other part, where you first meet Knuckles, went something like this.
"Wha? Thief!"
"Look who's calling WHO a thief."
"LOL I'M EGGMAN CAN'T HEAR YOU I'VE GOT THIS SHINY THINGY"

On the bright side, it did give us-
"OH NO! DON'T TOUCH THAT LEVER!"

I love how I started a whole conversation about Sonic.

I have roughly eighteen games for the Game Gear. My Game Gear seems to have bit the dust, though.

The Game Gear was another system released by Sega that was before it's time. It was in color and backlit way before the Game Boy was.

Their other "before it's time" system was the Dreamcast. It was the Xbox 360 of it's time. It ran Windows CE and had the ability to play online. It would have been great if the internet technology had been better at the time. Dial-up was the Dreamcast's coffin... The lack of games for it was the final nail in said coffin.
