Mario Power Tennis for GC

On my Amiga 500, I think my favourites definately Sensible Soccer.

On the Sega, Micro Machines 8 players on 4 controllers at school, happy days. 1 driver would have half the controller you know? <A> was turn left <B> was brakes <C> was turn right and the accelerator was down all the time.

Final Fantasy on the PS1 was probably one of my favourite games ever.

Mario Brothers.

Sonic the Hedgehog.

Ms. Pac Man.

Gallaga.

Bubble Bobble.

Lomo, Good taste you have!
Zanzarah: The Hidden Portal and The Longest Journey
got my attention, I will look at them.

I never got the dark, epic games.   I realized after my last post that I've always just like the fun, cartoony games that have a kid-like mentality to them.  Life is dark enough....do we really need to further program ourselves with morbid, dark games where people shoot up other characters, blow shit up, and tangle with demons and stuff?  Those kind of games (to me) kill the kid inside people.  All the TPTB have to do is create the games and sell them.....the public does the rest by buying them, playing them and then effectively helping to program themselves and kill their inner kid.     I researched some of the games mentioned here, and while I can see the appeal of how they involve "solving" mysteries and puzzles, tracking clues amongst a sea of bizarre and crazy characters, or being on some epic adventure, the overall vibe and elements that make up the games however are dark, involving murder, deception, phantasmic nightmares, twisted characters and all that.   Yeah, like THAT'S reality.   I don't know about anybody here, but not only does that NOT represent my reality, it also doesn't represent where I'm trying to go.  Games like that just  program the masses to think in a way that is not natural to human nature.   Throughout humanity's history we've been continually manipulated though by dark forces to be who we actually aren't.  This is just one more giant extention  of that into the modern world.   If left to our own devises we wouldn't gravitate to material like this.  It's all programming.   Negative, dark, demonic.  All wrapped up in an intriguing alluring puzzle mystery or epic adventure.  Keep humanity's focus on the dark and demonic instead of aiming for the light.  Oh, but these games are so fun!  They're escapism!  It's just a GAME.   No, it's programming.  If it involves you picking up a gun and killing people, blowing shit up, and purposely going into a twisted dark world to interact with twisted, dark characters then it's programming.

Anyway, that's just my opinion though.  Don't take it personally anybody... !
