It almost sounds like it's saying a true gamer dosen't actually play games, he just calculates the outcomes of games based on previous knowledge.Leonardo wrote:Terminator-96010 wrote:A true gamer must be full knowledge of games, and he must not choose a game that he should be playing, he rathers calculate or researchs the results of a game.
What do you mean by this?
I could care less if I'm a "true gamer" or not. I just play games. Actually lately I don't even do that so much because I've been spending more time teaching my kids how to play games (I'm rather proud of my son's progress, too....3 years old & has already got to the middle of level 1-2 on SMB....& has finished the first Green Hill zone level for Sonic 1).Tweezy wrote:And you arent?

Well i got 1,2,3,4,6 of your examples, and i dont consider myself a "True" gamer, as was stated earlier its just a way for people to try and make themselves sound and feel better than others.
Yeah, back then all you had were people telling you that you needed to grow up & stop playing with kids' toys. Then Mortal Kombat hit, among others.Homer wrote:The terms "True Gamer" and "Hardcore Gamer" make me chuckle.
I miss the good old days, when you either played video games, or you didn't. No nonsense terminology.

Guilty. My parents got me one for my birthday, many years ago. I got Mario Clash and Mario's Tennis with it as well. It was AWESOME. Shame it never took off, and ended with a horrible ousting of Gunpei Yokoi.

1: marketing. There was no real way for them to show people how it made games 3D without you actually sticking your head into one.
2: Red. I had reas in a Nintendo Power somewhere that the reason the made it all red was because adding in full color would have made it cost about 4 times as much.

Giving its users seizers or epileptic fits had nothing to do with its downfall either then?
lol, you know someone is a fanboy when they say the virtual boy was "awesome". jeez

Could you imagine if they did that nowadays what with the polygon capabilities most consoles & portable stuff can do. Hell, it'd be pretty sweet being able to platform jump & actually judge distance rather than look for other markers like shadows to figure out if you're going to land on the platform you just jumped to...Shadowman wrote:Sonray wrote:Nemesis Cyberplex wrote:I could see 2 real downfalls with that system:Shadowman wrote:Nemesis Cyberplex wrote:....if you have ever owned a Virtual Boy (man, that thing was freaky).....

Color would have increased the appeal considerably. If they can do movies in 3D thirty years ago, it wouldn't have been too hard.
A normal image in the background, but with the coloring used in 3D images. One eye piece could have been tinted red, while the other is tinted blue, making them basic 3D glasses. Mario Bros. would have OWNED in that format.
A shame, though, that they didn't do that. It probably would have looked really nice. Virtual reality and 3D were getting really big back then, though, of course, it was just a fad and died down. (Anyone remember VR Troopers? It was a Sentai Import show like Power Rangers)

A "True" gamer doesn't whine, just quits.
