I’m still bitter about how they switched over from perfectly good wax-cylinders for gramophones and went to these ridiculous plate-like things.
And what about those baseball players?
They start at home plate, flail a stick of wood at a ball, run around the field, and where do they end up? Right back at home plate! What a bunch of chumps!
What was your favorite way to kill Goombas? Did you like the method where you stomped at the point right between them and killed both with a single stomp, or did you prefer the method by which you landed on the first one, then bounced off onto the second one, and so forth?
When come back bring Pong.
In the thread Anyone ever seen one of these guns in real life and know anything about them? (OICW), Sinful had this to say:
So I’m guessing that video game hotshot Sinful is just lookin for a reaction.
I always loved timing the jump perfectly so the normal recoil would land me right on the second - and, when I felt really snazzy, third - goomba. Holding down the A button as you hit the goomba was such a weak way of doing it.
Oh, and remember the part where you hit a single koopa troopa shell, kick it, and run after it as fast as you can as it plows through the long row of goombas, so you can get the extra lives.
Right, I’ve glued my hands together. Now what? Hello? Someone call an ambulance!
I would, but it’s kind of hard to use the phone when your hands are glued together.
Damn you Sinful! Damn you to hell! This is the last time I take your advice!
(by the way, don’t ask me what I’m using to type)
How dare you insinuate this?
I’d like to break a lamp in his face.
Just have a plate of these gut-buster brownies, then you’ll feel better.
powerups old-school? tell that to the oh-so-realistic-immersion folks who made mechassault :mad::mad:
And they say gamers only develop good hand/eye coordination.
My Koopa Troopa’s breath smells like mushrooms.
Hey! I may be a videogame player, and I may suck, but… oh.
mmmmmm…sweet powerups
Cliff Yablonski is the funniest thing on the net.
And he loves goths and ravers!
Without a doubt the best was to find a place where you could kick a koopa shell across one square into a wall, so you could constantly bounce up and down on the shell gaining unlimited lives.
And then there was the minus world. And the fireworks. And the killing Bowsers with fireballs.
(Digs out NES)
The unlimited lives thing was great, but wasn’t there a glitch where you got game over if you had too many lives or something?
