    Only one of my friends knows what I'm going on about when I mention Star Wars: Republic Commando. That game was easily one of the best FPS's I've ever played. Another great one was a flying game called Secret Weapons Over Normandy that I had on PC. That was pure class.

    Street Of Rage on sega
    That is one of my all time favs, the number of hours I spent playing that game on my Megadrive

    I really wish I was. I think it's because they got into gaming a little later than me so never played any SNES games. They have only ever had playstations.
    Thats a shame.. but I guess its only natural, the older generation will probably always be surprised some people haven't played classics such as that

    Whenever I watch Spyro videos it makes me just want to find my PS1 and hook it up and play.
    I totally did that the other week after I depressed myself by watching YouTube videos of Spyro. Brought back memories...

    Now I just have to find Crash Bandicoot.

    I always thought that was just Resident Evil with dinosaurs.

    I still love the crazy cowbow guy at the beginning of Dino Crisis 2. Everyone's fighting off a horde of Velicoraptors, yet he seemingly disappears, and then at the sight of a T-rex isn't scared at all, I'm unsure why that scene makes me laugh so much.

    But yeah Regina was a babe.

    I know right, the music to it was also epic (especially the first level music) as well as the bosses. I still have the game but my sega don't work lol.

    I still remember most of the tracks from it, man that boss music was epic! When the stage music started to lower and go off you knew that tune was about to go on, really exciting

    Yeah it sucks, I still have alot of my older systems Megadrive, Mega CD, Mastersystem, Snes etc,. but all faulty now

    I don't know if this counts, but Minesweeper - it's seriously an amazing game
    Omigosh am so glad you mentioned this game. I am hopelessly obsessed with it its unhealthy. = = In my free time i actually start imagining the squares in my head and try to formulate ways as to how to solve a dilemma in which the mine is in one of two squares... It's getting dangerous. >:\
    Best time I ever got with it on beginners was 9s. didnt play medium, but i think my hard record was 286s?

    The first one was but the second one changed things up a lot and made it much more of an action game (predating Resident Evil 4 doing that by about half a decade). Unfortunately Dino Crisis 3 on the Xbox was absolute toss for whatever reason and it kinda killed the Franchise.

    Thank you, i'm not the only one!! I used to be hopelessly obsessed like you, i haven't played in a while. But oh my god, I used to do the same. with all the imagining. Before i would go to sleep, I would see all the squares in my mind and have some massive game in my head. I love things which make me think - and expert minesweeper without a doubt makes me think. Minesweeper is one of THE most frustrating games hands down; like whenever you make a mistake, it's an impulse to start over.

    Haha, that is one confused smiley face! but yeah, i know what you mean.
    i can't remember my times, but your records sound very impressive!

    Likewise, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! I'm still trying to figure out some patterns thought I hate it when i get those flat 11111111 lines with all the boxes onwards below it untouched. I still have a long way to go.
