So far out in left field I got lost
OMG I am the video game queen
I love those games
I haven't graduated past the Ninentdo 64 system yet
I will play a game until I beat it and then lose interest until the next game comes along. I love all the Mario Brothers games, Banjoo Kazoo, and Donkey Kong the best

Tanya, have no fear. My mother-in-law is NOT in her 20's and she is a Nintendo junkie!! In fact, we got her the new Kirby Game Boy Advance game for Christmas (don't tell!). She's really into Zelda.

My son still plays with his N64 as well as his Cube. We also still have an NES system that he'll drag out every once and awhile.

We've found that second-hand music/video stores usually have a good selection of pre-owned games for older systems as well as older systems for sale. Pawn shops, too, but with a second-hand store you usually get some sort of guarantee in case of problems.

Enjoy your present!!!

I did a little more Christmas shopping today, and my bf doesn't know it yet but he bought me another game while I was out

I got him something great too, I can't say because he might look here but it is really heavy and I had to lug it up 3 flights of stairs and somehow Dori and I managed to get it wrapped. He hates not knowing what things are so I think he might give in and let me open my present so he can open his

At the kitty's beck and call
We used to have a Spectrum ZX as well - it came free with a car we bought. I remember we got a free tape recorder with it as well, because all the programs came on a cassette and you had to "play" the tape to the Spectrum so it could load the program
. We had some great games like Asteroid, Boulderdash (a bit like Manic Miner). Now I have a PS2 and I really like the SIMS for the PC. Daughter's getting SIMS2 for Christmas.

You know that will drive him crazy, Tanya! You'll be playing before you know it!
Hope his coat arrives as planned today so he can keep nice and warm in the cold weather!

I LOVED Frogger.
. Was the undisputed Queen of Frogger in my neighborhood growing up back in the days of the Atari 2600.
I still have that system and play it on occasion. However I also like the newer systems. I have all three and have asked for the Nintendo DS for Christmas...I'm keeping my fingers crossed but who know.s
And the Sims on computer is awesome, I already have the SIMS 2 and it's great, not too fond of it on the systems though.

Everyone was buying the Nintendo DS yesterday when I was Christmas shopping. I just don't like all the high tec stuff. Thats why I don't play x-box or ps2. The graphics are awesome but they make me so dizzy and I end up with a headache. The Gameboy advance is perfect for me


We found the old mario 2 for it on Ebay last night and we won the bid at $14. So now I have Mario 2, Mario 3, and Mario World (originally for super nintendo) and Puzzle Fighter 2- that is a very addicting game

I can't wait for Christmas. I swear a feel like a kid again (my grandma is also buying me a Cabbage Patch doll, I used to ask for them every year as a kid and she thought it would be cute to get me one since they are popular again
)

They have these really cool new things that look just like an arcaid joystick, and all you do is connect it to the tv and you can play. They only cost about $20. I saw Frogger and another set of 5 Atari games. They also have an Atari looking system for $40 that you connect to the tv and it has 16 of the old Atari games stored inside of it. It's pretty neat how they have brought all the old stuff back
