Ok. I never had an insane passion for console games. I'm 28 y.o. and my best games were basically 4, on different platforms.
1. Turrican 2 on C64 2. Super Mario on the old good gameboy (b & w) 3. MicroMachines on Sega Megadrive 4. MicroProse Soccer on C64
At that time i was nothing more than a lil kid, my brother in the meantime grew up and was addicted to ps2. Since then my game experience was ... when he's not at home and i have no work, no girls, no friends, no emails to answer to, NOTHING i just push the button on his ps2. Well the beginning was great with the Pro Evolution Soccer serie. Awesome. Then i started playn his games ... Crash Tag Team Racing, Tekken ... and so on. Nothing tha i can remember with a good opinion. Being myself "old", i was startig to think things like "ROb you cant have fun anymore with nowadays games, you're just too stupid".
But Wait... i had to change city because of work and lot of empty evenings in the week. I was goin mad when i ran into an ebgames shop and got a used cube for like 30 euros. 15 euros for mario kart double dash and... I changed my opinion. My mind was open.
Since then Resident Evil4, Time Splitters, Mario Strikers, Gladius... and a lot of funny playn with my new friends in the new city. They were like "Wtf this cube is cool, i spent thousands for my ps2, and i never had this kind of fun".
In a couple of days, lot of guys bought an used cube where i bought mine.
Funniest comment was: "other than spending cash i played for year with a console that makes more noise than the game on it :-P"
Ok boring story, crappy english. Just a final tought: in my opinion the cube had maYBE FEW GAMES, BUT these ones were just spectacular, and pure fun. And this period has a strong value for 2 reasons. 1) It's being said by me (ok joking) 2) That was the only game system that bring me back in my child age in terms of fun.
Cheers

Holy... Your practically like my second older brother! He had all the same systems and loved all the same games [I even loved a couple of those too :P] and your the same age! That is crazy! :shock:
@GamerGirlPwnz LOL . I think that there were few games, few gameplay styles. I wont be surprised if any gamer born in middle 70s first 80s would have the same choiches. :-)
