"Do you remember when.."

[JourneyMan88]

Do you remember when Nintendo 64 and Playstation where the only options for gaming, and no one could even dream of something like the console wars going on today? That was the good old times if you ask me. ^^

PLEASE! I remember when your choices were Atari 2600 or Intellivision! Then our friend up the block got a Magnavox Odyssey 2... then my friend from school got a Colecovision! I thought I was gonna SHIT MY PANTS those graphics so awesome! Zaxxon and Donkey Kong without having to pump endless quarters into an arcade, and the Baseball, holy Christ we would run to his house every day after school and play until our mothers called his house.

Do you remember when we still had healthmeters?

I tell you..Those were the days.

Yeah, those good old days...of games coming out this year that are full of healthmeters...

Wat?

Speaking of; Will Duke Nukem have healh-meters?

 

[General_Potatoes]

Do you remember when you would call up your friends and say " hey come over and play goldeneye with me " ? I sure do.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Do you remember before you came here to learn internet civility and you had hilarious flame wars with people?

No? Just me?

Forever alone...

Also, did anyone else have the song start playing in their head as soon as they read the title of this thread?

Do you remember when you couldn't save on Sonic so you'd sit there for like 2 or 3 hours all afternoon having to complete it?

Do you remember when Mario 64 came out and the graphics blew your mind?

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Edit: Oh. Gaming. Sometimes I forget how to read. Never mind, then.

 

[Bloodastral]

Do you remember when a firewall was something a wizard in D&D cast

 

[Titan Buttons]

Do you remember when multiplayer meant sitting on the sofa with a couple of mates.

That my be the best multipler fun I have had and may ever have in my life.
I feel sad now I miss it

*Sighs*, those were the days. Hammering someone at Street Fighter II or Soul Calibur then pulling faces at them until they want to "hadukon" you in real life. Getting owned at COD4 doesn't compare.

Arh yes very true, but my games were Golden eye the FPS that requried the most kill since you only had one joystick, Donkey 64 nothing beat chasing down a mate who was about to die only yo have him jump into water where I could even shoot him, so I just lobbed granades instead and the looks on there faces where just priceless XD. Also Lylat wars, every time I started shooting at someone they could never get away untill one of us was shot down, such good times

 

[Aphex Demon]

Do you remember when controllers NEVER RAN OUT OF BATTERY.

Huh?

 

[Aphex Demon]

Did you know that: Blowing into a game is not recommended, at all. Moisture causes corrosion, and by blowing into your cartridge, you are actually setting it up for future problems. Instead, clean your games properly.

I honestly couldn't give a fuck. Always worked for me.

 

[Alfador_VII]

Do you remember when you had to wait years for a game and it was a quality product?

Yes, just last year, it was called Starcraft 2

 

[Fanta Grape]

Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Do you remember when one of the biggest gaming headaches was losing your memory cards?

Do you remember when you had to delete stuff off your memory card so you could save another game?

Do you remember how it killed a small part of you inside when you forgot to do that before playing and couldn't save your game?

Do you remember when your memory card stopped working inexplicably and lost a few years worth of save files?

Do you remember when memory cards didn't even show how much space they had in megabytes but in blocks?

Wow, so much about memory cards, I love it.

 

[Wondermint13]

Team Fortress 2 has health meters. o: Both in numbers AND filling/depleting crosses.

And the first reply was somebody posting the complete opposite to the thread. way to go mate.. way to go.... *sarcastic clap*
Atleast try to answer the question!

Ok, and for you OP..

Do you remember when giant blue ants with lazer guns took over planets and not thousands of bloody Angels, Demons and Other Various Gods from around the around the world?
*hugs his Jet Force Gemini case* Ants are so fun to shoot at =)

Do you remember when there were no fanboys?

Remember when some games required the entire memory card to save?

 

[Sandernista]

Do you remember when there were only 150+1 Pokémon?

There was never just 151, just listen to the Pokemon rap 'At least 150 or more to see.
To be a Pokemon master is my destiny.'

See! more!

 

[Tax_Document]

Do you remember when you blew alot of money on an Atari 2600 and was turned of gaming for a long time.

Do you remember getting the NES and getting severely disappointed and selling it to kid down the street as the gameplay consisted on four buttons and waddling around a crappy 2D world with no fun involved.

Yeah, didn't get into gaming until Diablo 2, because the underneath that thin veil of Gold is the worthlessness of tinny brass.

EDIT: Also, remember when there weren't so many stuck-up snobs on the internet, saying it was better in their day when it really wasn't?

 

[Realitycrash]

Do you remember when you had to wait years for a game and it was a quality product?

Yes, just last year, it was called Starcraft 2

Not to start a flamewar, but; Starcraft was an awesome product. But it wasn't last year. Starcraft 2 was last year, but it was only the first third of the game, and basically a redo of the first game with better graphics.

So, OT; Remember when you played Starcraft for the first time, and your jaw dropped at the graphics in the cinematics?

 

[Zantos]

I don't care if the thread's not about it. Or if it's nothing to do with games. Or if someone's already said it.

Do you remember when we used to sing, sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

I think this can all be summed up with, do you remember memory cards? I know mine are somewhere...

Duke Nukem Forever baby! It's taken bloody forever.
