I always feel sorry for those people who got a Genesis instead of a SNES back then.

Just like our K-cars and minivans.

I didn't have many NES games as I rented every chance I could get in the summers. I always liked Adventure Island 2 but it was punishing.

Disagreed. I found the Halo series to be beyond repetitive and the sequels do very little in way of anything really new or innovation. The series actually set back gaming by dragging us into the mass-produced ty FPS era.

THAT being said, I have never really liked FPSes so Halo was always going to have an up-hill battle with me. I enjoyed the first one, but 2 and 3 barely held my attention for an hour since it felt so samey.

Anybody here ever play a game called A Boy and His Blob?

I had it and tried multiple times to play it, but I don't think I ever made it off the first level. Worst game ever.

Used to own it. Captain Planet was also a game that really sucked. I couldn't even make it past the first level.

R.C. Pro Am was killer too. So was Strider. On the flip side, Total Recall was such a terrible game. Made absolutely no sense and you didn't even get to see the chick with three ta-tas.

The last game to ever feature the creator's name on the cover?

Played it briefly at a friends house. Bought it after that. Finished it. Hated every minute of it. I've heard rumblings that there's a version on the Wii now.

Now Maniac Mansion... There was a game.

That game was the hardest of all. I made it all the way to the blob planet only to be killed by a conveyor of marshmallows. Entire game had to be played on one life.

Quality gaming? From a Nintendo system? That's like saying it's possible to get similar magnet poles to come together.

Why? EA Sports games were a helluva lot better on the Genesis than the SNES. Hockey was unplayable on the SNES if you were used to playing it on the Genesis.

You're probably better off just sticking with your Speak N Spell system.
