Post by: nO-One on April 17, 2002, 12:19:20 AM: Teenage Mutand Ninja Turtles 2, the first game wasn\'t that great but the 2nd game was excellent, it was and still is one of the best games ever.

We need more games like that now adays, all we have today are fps\'s, rpg\'s, fighters and driving games. I want the walk through fighting against a bunch of bad fighters.

Post by: project86 on April 17, 2002, 05:57:00 AM: A friend and I spent about five hours and a few fists full of quarters trying to beat Golden Axe. When we were done beating the game the owner of the pizza parlor bought us a round of pizza and free Coke. Those were the days. And yes, Golden Axe was and still remains my favorite arcade game of the late ‘80’s early ‘90’s.

As for the early ‘80’s however…it was definitely KungFu! Oooh yeah baby.

Post by: shockwaves on April 17, 2002, 07:07:08 AM: The simpsons was EASILY the best one. Man, I loved that game. They really should have made a consol version.

Coming in second would be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game (not sure which one...).

In 3rd is X-Men

Take it from me man, YOU will NOT be disappointed. And the extra footage is cool. It’s like going back in time to the good ‘ol days. I also saw it at the store for a mere 19 dollars here in Michigan. What does it cost near you?

Post by: 182Ways on April 17, 2002, 05:43:59 PM: This thread brings back a lot of good memories. :)

I really loved The Simpsons. The last time I played it, my friend and I managed to beat it, which was quite a feat for us considering how much money we threw into the game by that time.

I also enjoyed playing that X-men side-scroller that theomen mentioned, especially when all 6 (or was it 8?) characters were being controlled. I remember how Nightcrawler was always the fan favorite, and I considered it an honor when I actually got to play as him.

And, of course, I can\'t forget to mention the original Mortal Kombat. If I had saved all the quarters that I ultimately spent on that game, I would.... have a ton of quarters. :p

Anyone remember Time Killer? For those who can\'t remember, it was a fighting game where you fought in different eras of time, and you could chop off the arms and legs of your opponent and the fight would still continue. I miss that game.

I thought for sure that game was gonna get huge, but it just kinda faded away.
