  1. I bought GoldenEye the other day and am having a heck of a time keeping the computer hacker alive while she checks the computers. Ugh.
  2. I loved the music to this game. The Cave level drove me nuts with those things that would come at you when you shot them. I also enjoyed the level where you had to destroy/maneuver around a large spacecraft. What was your favorite power-up? I liked the beams that would shoot out in a parabola. It sort of sounded like a zipper being unzipped when you shot it.
  3. My first game ever, beside the Mario/Duck Hunt game, was Pin-Bot. When the robot babe showed on the screen, I hoped my mother wasn't watching.
  4. I remember Bulls vs. Blazers for the SNES, but it's a mixed bag. You couldn't manually block a shot, but the CPU could do it all day long. I remember thinking, "Cool, Larry Bird!" and then go 5-29 with him at the 3 point line, while open even. Thank goodness for NBA Live 95.
  5. Beating Zoda, or rather, NOT beating Zoda in StarTropics made me want to smash the TV, especially when you had to replay so much to get there. I guess I freak out and try to shoot him as much as I can before jumping out the way. Those little farts that follow you around don't help. I cannot get through the bar scene in Back to the Future, in which you must hit apparently 5000 bullies with sodas before one hits you. Take Back to the Future...please! I must be a sucker for punishment, because I routinely go back to them...THIS time for sure! *buzzer sound a la Family Feud*
  6. I mean the reddish pink one with the see-through exterior. Sorry, when I think of watermelon, I think the edible part.
  7. I used to make Mario walk a million miles just to have the yellow Yoshi, but would always lose him against something painfully easy. Green Yoshi, do the impossible. Yellow Yoshi, goomba fodder.
  8. I always thought the music for the first three stages or so from Super R-Type for the SNES was great. I always play that game with the headphones in the TV.
  9. How's everybody doin'? I'm in my mid-thirties and hail from Kentucky. I haven't been in a forum since around 2005, so I might take a while to get back in shape, so to speak. I am thrilled to find a forum dealing with retro video games, a passion of mine. I received my first NES in 1989, and haven't looked back. I own an NES, SNES, N64 and also have a Super Game Boy. I'm just simply Cartridge Guy, I guess. I never got into the disc systems, ever since my college roommate had Driver for the Playstation, I fell in love with the game, and it would always freeze in the same place. My other hobbies include popular music from the 1950s through the 1980s, old Topps baseball cards, and history, so much so that I got a Master's Degree in it. I am fascinated by the history of anything: what happened in the past that makes today what it is? And so forth. Oh, and animation. I still have that simple, child-like fascination with pictures that move. Classic theatrical cartoons from the 1930s through the 1950s are it for me. Too bad the DVD collections cost so much nowadays. Growing up in the mid to late 1980s, my sense of humor can get a bit stupid. Countless hours with Pee-wee Herman, Ernest P. Worrell, and Binky the Clown from Garfield and Friends ensure that, so I apologize in advance. Anyway, I'm glad to be here, and I'll figure out the profile thingy sooner or later. By the way, the name refers to my favorite sports teams; it seemed kind of harmless at the time. On the other hand, it makes it seem I helped to build Stonehenge or something.
  10. Apparently Nintendo didn't think it shameful; in the Mario Paint Player's Guide, they give an example of how to create that same frame. Large and in charge, know what I mean?
  11. Just out of curiosity, how much would a watermelon N64 with the box run for nowadays? I like the look of the black standard version, and I was thinking of selling the other one.
  12. I chose Baseball Stars instead of the Bases Loaded games for that reason. Creating and running a franchise and saving it all on a battery made my mouth water as a nine year old.
  13. Does purchasing Back to the Future for the NES count? Getting Silent Service to show my maturity to my friends was a stupid idea, too. While my friends were enjoying Mega Man II, I was trying to figure out what all of the maritime jibber-jabber meant.
  14. Speaking of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, I'm playing that one currently for the N64. I'm trying to find all of the lums without the help of a tip site, but it doesn't seem possible. For instance, in one of the temples, while riding the plum on top of the lava, I look up and see a cage a million miles into the air, and I'm as stumped as all get out.
  15. I remember back around 1995 or so I chose to get a SNES instead of the Sega Genesis, largely because of Donkey Kong Country and the Street Fighter II games. It wasn't until a few months ago that I found a Sega with a few Sonic games at a yard sale for cheap. I must say, Sonic & Knuckles is hard to stop. Speaking of new in the box, a fellow I buy games from now and then claimed that he found a NES still in the box with all of the inserts for $20. I find it hard to believe him, unless it was some 70 year old man getting all of the crap out of his garage.
