+1 to the Sierra games...I didn't own a gaming system till I was in college but I remember playing a lot of Tecmo Bowl, Contra, Ultimate Fighter and the Mario series as a child.

Tecmo Bowl was great but Super Tecmo Bowl was the shizznit. The first one was kind of cheap, nobody can catch Bo Jackson if you get to the sideline. LT on defense was sick.

I'm old school as i remember my dad coming home with the Atari 2600 games console...
Asteroids etc

I used to love Gauntlet at the local 7/11 back in the day...Bombjack was another fave and Street fighter and Double Dragon played everyday in the Puma Tracki shop after school.

The first console I ever had was the Atari 2600 and my absolute favourite games on it were 'Centipede' and 'Dig-Dug'.





But one of my all-time favourite games was a pretty obscure (I think) game on the SEGA Megadrive called 'Gun Star Heroes'. You basically moved through the level as fast as you could shooting as much shit as you could. There was shit to be shot everywhere!! And the best thing was the the guns just got more and more absurd... Man that game was just the ultimate shoot 'em up!!

It was kinda like Sonic The Hedgehog with a M16

I was recently just strolling downtown and there was some people gathered around one of the street hawkers that got my attention so I went to see what it was all about. The seller was demonstrating his 'new' game. It was a Chinese copy of the old Super Mario game sold for less $10. It brought back a bit of nostalgia in me, playing those stuff with my young nephew during the ol' times... Well I argued to myself, it's just 10 bucks, pacfan, get 'em.. so .. I payed the man and hid it inside my bag and went back home and making sure nobody was behind my back peeping, I started to stomp those turtles and ducks, jump over the fire, evade ninja turtles shooting stars, and the canons, swim around those squids... boy that was fun!

...what really amazed me was it came with 1 cartridge with ALL the ol' major Nintendo games in one! You guys know what they are right, the ones with spaceship/rockets, tanks with bricks, duck hunt etc...

...actually, never being a serious gamer and I've never outgrew the old Mario... and even then, I was a bit old for those stuff, just keeping my nephew happy those days like what all good ol' uncle usually does. Well, as for my nephew, he grew up to be a serious gamer and being 75% Japanese, he was one of the millions fellas who lined up in a cold street of Tokyo all night long just to be one of the first guys to get the first Nintendo Wii... ...ain't it strange...

Which all explains why you like violence and guns.

How did I forget Mike Tyson's Punch Out...I still enjoy beating the crap out of Glass Jaw Joe from time to time.
