I would invest as much money as I can on MS stock, sell it when it reaches $120, invest some more on Yahoo, sell it when it reaches an all time high, invest it in Google, sell it when it reaches an all time high, invest it in Nintendo, and sell it when it reaches an all time high, etc.

Tell Sega of Japan not to release Saturn and hold off on dropping the Genesis because its doing poorly in Japanland but kicking ass in NA!

Honestly Sega made some of the biggest mistakes in gaming history, its no wonder they practically don't even exist today.

Eh I'm pretty happy with life and money's overrated. And since this is SW I would have asked for a PS2 over GC christmas of 2002.

I would go back in time to before all these movies were created, and write/direct/produce ALL of them: The original Star Wars trilogy, the first three Die Hard movies, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, Terminator 1 & 2, 2001: A Space Oddysey, Jaws, Full Metal Jacket, Invasion: U.S.A., Blade Runner, the Indianna Jones movies, and The Shawshank Redemption.

I would probably also make the Atari 2600 while I'm at it.

I'd go back to the classical era, specifically the peak of the Roman Empire. Of course with me I will have tons of guns, become the god of war live in a huge ass temple. I mean this temple will be a behemoth of marble and gold and obsidian, will be proclaimed as the biggest wonder ever. As god of war I would require, daily, the 100 sexiest women across the empire so I could have endless orgies.

There are many things I could do...

But specifically videogame stuff, I'd stop Sega from releasing the 32X, and perhaps the Sega CD. And tell them that launching the Saturn 3 months ahead of when they said they'd launch it was a bad idea. Maybe then the Dreamcast could have survived.

I'd also get Radiant Silvergun, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Suikoden II to play and then sell, and Planescape: Torment and Zone of the Enders 2 for my personal enjoyment.

Imagine a world without Sega CD.

Here's what would have happened. Nintendo would have never been pressured to come up with a CD add on for SNES (which they never got to do).
There wouldn't have been a PlayStation or a Sony system as we know it today.
Those odd Legend of Zelda games that ended up for CD-iwould have never saw the day of light

oh and probably the biggest. The game Night Trap would have never been released and therefore there wouldn't be any video game ratings! :D

IDK. Play Johnny B. Goode at the "Enchantment Under The Sea Dance"? :|

If I had such amazing power, I'm sure as hell not going to waste it on anything video game related.

Okay... I guess the Sega CD can live. Though if things get too weird in the future, I could always go back in time and stop myself from giving that advice...

Can I at least tell Sega that FMV does not in and of itself make a game good?

I'd repeatedly go back in time and weave a complicated historical trail that only the greatest minds will be able to pick up. Then once some smart cookie figures it out and starts and epic quest to find me. I'd find out who it is then travel back once more and wait for him to solve it and find me at some obscure location that held some vague importance in the melting pot of history. Then when he approached Iwould say

"Mr./Ms. (Insert name here)erson, we have been expecting you."

Let's see... -Force IBM to actually put decent sound and graphics capability in the first IBM PC. Monochrome text and PC speaker bleeps and bloops looked pathetic compared to even a Commodore 64 that cost a fraction of the price, and the gap only widened again when the Amiga burst onto the scene. I seriously don't get why the PC was so special in 1981 given the lacking graphics and sound coupled with an astronomical price tag. If the PC had excellent graphics and sound from the start as well as a powerful CPU and gobs of RAM, then I wouldn't have to worry so much about emulating other computers to play the best versions of 1980s computer games. -Buy two new copies of games that are critically-acclaimed but either expensive or hard to find today(*cough*Panzer Dragoon Saga*cough*). One to play, and one to keep as a collector's item. -Show off a top-of-the-line PC by today's standards running Crysis maxed-out to people from the 1960s and later, just to see the reactions. -If I could go so far back enough as the 1940s, I may consider trading the aforementioned gaming computer for a P-38 Lightning or something like that. Sure would be nice to have an old WWII warbird that doesn't only exist in my PC monitor.

I would have been a better boyfriend to my girlfriend of 2003. Then we wouldn't have broken up, and life would have been perfect now :-D

Oh, was this system wars related? Hmmm, finished Super Frog without cheats :-P

Let me guess...HAL? SkyNET? Something else particularly nasty regarding how powerful computer tech could be if they had PCs that could max out a game like Crysis in the 1940s, not to mention act as the core of highly advanced flight simulators where budding pilots don't learn the hard way how not to dogfight?

I wouldn't have bought my Wii. Or my DS. This casual, "innovative" stuff isn't for me. I would have probably saved that money, and bought a PS3 instead.

And while all of that's happening, Einstein and Hitler will actually be seperated into two totally different time periods? (SOMEBODY had to say it...)

i would steal some big time money making inventions and create them myself, and put that money in a savings account, but when it comes to system wars related stuff, i would put some crazy bets in that i know would win
