  Think the Breakout games also used the paddle because I owned Super Breakout and I'm pretty sure that game was the reason I owned paddles.

  All these fucking games were awesome. X-Men 2 was better than the original though. Also Mutant League Football is the best football game every made. Gotta love paying off the ref to penalize the other team 5 yards for flicking boogers. I also lol'd when I would win a game by killing too many of their players.
  
  I would always get pissed off playing the Germany course in road rash.

  That game was so damn hard. You def needed the cheat code to gain numerous continues to defeat the game. I would get so pissed if I made it far in the game and then the nintendo froze.

  Looking back, it is pretty funny how acceptable it was for a nintendo to freeze. Good ol blow in the cartridge (I blew threw my shirt) trick. No way in hell a console could get away with such a flaw these days.

  I only played the first game, but I think I got to the third group of 10 levels or maybe the fourth. It was getting to the point where I realized I was spending as much time reading solutions online as I was playing, so I went with something a bit less cerebral after that.
  
  Favorite game with puzzles for me in the day was Lufia II for the SNES. Was a typical J-RPG, but all the dungeons had puzzles to solve and some of them were just brutal.
  
  
  
  That one isn't so bad. The optional 100-level randomly generated dungeon was a bitch, though. Had the best equipment in the game, but after you got down to 60-70 floors into it, the monsters were tougher than anything in the actual game.
  
  
  
  Nothing like playing something for six damn hours, running into a couple of the above Archfiends and watching all that time go to waste when they nuke the hell out of you with spells.

  The pros: you could customize your own team and keep stats for a full 165-game season. The game was fun.
  
  The negs: computer sim'd games took a few minutes to process, so you had to have a book or something handy to kill time. The "ultra mode" was cheap and dumb, since you could run-rule every team in one inning by just spamming all your ultra move points immediately.
  
  At least the "down time while waiting for computer to sim games" was corrected by the time they released it again for the SNES. And I mean "released it again" since all there was was a minor graphical upgrade and other than that, it was essentially the exact same game.

  I preferred SNK with the ability to create, keep stats, buy and fire players, play a season and earn cash.

  This game was awesome as well. Ahead of its time for sports games IMO.

  SEGA FTMFW!!
  
  I was obsessed with Road Rash 2...brings back memories. I was a Genesis fanboi. Original NES was the only Nintendo system I owned then Genesis Master System for life!
  
  I can vividly remember buying new Sega games at Toys R Us. Specific new releases were like $70...crazy thinking back now.
  
  I remember beating Streets of Rage 2 from start to finish in one sitting with my neighbor. We were so fucking pumped. :laugh:

  This thread is as good as any to show my excitement for the upcoming release of this son of a bitch. No release date announced yet, but it should be this year.

  How many games does it come with or do you have to e-Order them as you go? I don't know much about this, but it looks interesting.
  
  Especially since, at least for Macs, GBA emulation is pretty shaky. One emulator isn't very customizable for controls, while the other was made mainly to run homebrew files (as opposed to commercial ones, which because of how the system was still active at the time, the designer considered too "pirate-y" for his tastes, so the compatibility is very blah.

  Can you play old PS games on the PS3? This thread makes me want to play THPS2 again.

  Nevermind. Looked it up. Has cartridge slots, so it plays all the games you own for all those systems. But you have to own a hard copy of the game.

  Looks like you can. From Wiki: The 40GB, 80GB re-release, 160GB, and the slim version of the PS3 are not backwards compatible with PS2 games because all hardware chips from the former console are omitted and there is no software emulation. However, all versions of the PS3 are able to play PS1 games. Although the Guitar Hero games themselves are compatible, the connector mounted on its special controller are not, due to the PS3's lack of ports for PS2 accessories. The guitars can only be used by utilizing third party USB-to-PS2 adapters.
  
  I have a few PS discs I'd like to play again: Grandia, Legacy of Kain: SoulReaver, FF VII and Alundra, mainly.

  Along those same lines, I have gotten a lot of use out of this bad boy. It is friendly to both NES and SNES original cartridges. The version I had, however, could also play Sega Genesis games. I also purchased genuine Super Nintendo controllers off eBay.
  
  
  
  
  What I really want to get is an original Sega Saturn. I loved Sonic games growing up, but could only play them at friends' houses because I was a Nintendo kid and never got a Sega. So Sega has always kind of carried a mystique to it for me. It seemed that there were Nintendo kids and there were Sega kids, and you were either on one side or the other, but never both.
