@Sushiglutton: YES!!! Turok is the BEST

There are a LOT of good suggestions here! I would love to see a reboot of many of these! Especially Castlevania and Battle Toads! ...they actually did sort of re-make Double Dragon as an arcade game for X-Box live (not sure if its on other consoles) but it was alright

Wondering if any nerds out there can help me make an executive decision.

I am looking to get a new laptop. I plan to do minimal gaming (like some steam games, etc) but nothing major. I would like it to run efficiently, but doesn't need to be super souped up or anything. I would like to remain within a budget of around 300 if possible. Any suggestions? What kinds of things should I be looking for?

There are apparently a ton more games than I expected that require my attention. lol

HAHA yeah it's time someone picks up Witcher 3 and dusts it off! Chrono Cross? Never heard of it. Good stuff?

I agree, those are ALL good titles! Gosh there are so many that I have forgotten about over time

Recently I have been focusing lots of my energy on older games that I remember from my child hood that really stuck with me throughout the years. I am not, nor have I ever been the most hardcore gamer out there, but I am a sucker for incredible storytelling and vivid imagery. I also am very moved by a good soundtrack. With the current generation we live in, there is no end to the capabilities of our new technologies and gaming engines, and developers of all shapes and sizes have virtually bridged the gap between the worlds of "video gaming" and "cinema." We can all admit that there have been some very impressive releases as of late, allowing us to dive further into our favored genres of games... so what I find myself pondering now is what about all the "greats" that have come to pass. I remember being moved in all the same ways back in the day with games that started our genres. I'd sit in my parents basement for hours and blast through RPGs like Turok and Summoner, however going back now days and revisiting these games, though very nostalgic, is just not as satisfying as all our current upgrades. So I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts. I have my own list of games I dream about getting a revamp, but I am curious to know what others out there that I may be missing, or haven't thought about. Let the discussing and reminiscing begin!

I'd plug mine, but that is cliche, and primarily video game based. But I recommend Penn Sunday school

Just curious. I am here to try and find like minded individuals and also to promote my own videogame podcast. I am just curious to know if this is something that is allowed, as I guess it could constitute as "solicitation."

just wanted clarity as i am not one of the intent to break any rules. Thank you :)
