Burn:Anyone notice how much of a boring party pooper N_V is? He doesn't join in the fun, he's spent the last few years with dodgy builds feeding XP to the Autobots, and he sure as heck doesn't spam.

The old X-Men game for the PC that takes place in Arcade's Murderworld was pretty cool. Never got to finish it though. Come to think of it, the X-Men arcade game was good, too, but Dazzler seemed like an odd choice to put in. There were definitely more popular characters at the time. And, speaking of arcade games, Police Trainer. I only ever got to play Police Trainer 2 once, so I don't know how good that was, but #1 is a game I still play today. Also, Spider-Man in the arcade, the one with Black Cat, Namor, and... Hawkeye I think?
I know I'm alone in this, but Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure for the PC was great. And an oldie was Street Rod, where you get to chop up and soup up old 50s and 60s cars to race them during the summer. You'd start off with a few bucks, buy a cheap junker, race and get more money to afford better cars, tires, or engines, and then eventually race the king of the streets to win the game. My friend and I played that for hours. Good old CGA fun.
Then there was a game for the Sega Game Gear called Dragon Crystal...? I think that was the name. You'd start with an egg following you, but as you got further in the game, the egg would become a dragon (hatch), then a stronger dragon that would help you fend off bad guys. I finished the game only once, and it was by luck.

Since DS got it, I've been reliving my days of Tetris glory.
But I still play Dangerous Dave, Rescue Rover and the Quest series, like "Space Quest" "Police Quest" and "Heroes Quest". Wolf3D still stands strong, they made a remake about it.
And I guess games from the 90s like RE1 and Doom can still count.
God those are some awesome games.

Something memorable here.
