Farside from the early 90's.

Check out this cool article on The New York Times called "Just One More Game ...

On steam sale for $3.39! It's one of the best puzzlers ever made, and it has tons of replay value. I've put a hundred hours into it and haven't beaten it.
I rarely push games like this, but this is special and cheap (I think I bought it for $15)

EA was just voted the worst company in America by the Consumerist. Way to go EA! You're so bad people actually hate you more than the cable companies and banks.

Some games are just timeless. This is still just as fun to play now as it was when I was 4 years old and my parents got our first NES. :D
My favorite memory about this game though happened just this year. My oldest daughter is 3 and a half and I made the decision to pass my Gameboy SP down to her. One of the games she plays is this one (it was re-released on gameboy). She can now successfully complete the first level all by herself and she always gets so excited every time she reaches the end of the stage or any time she successfully squashes a goomba (she even knows they're called goomba's!) It's awesome watching her play!

I love old Koei games. Three games in particular: Le Emperor, Genghis Khan II and Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2. I only owned one of those games and Genghis Khan was the game.
Genghis Khan II is a turn based strategy game where you can start doing one of two things: conqueror Mongolia then use Mongolia to conqueror the world or just start out as Mongolia and try to conqueror the world. Both were fun but starting as Mongolia was almost always easier. Easier because by the time you conqueror all of Mongolia Genghis might be dead or very old making the world conquest harder. If you started at world conquest you could pick a different country to start as, like India or...

Next Gen Console Rumors Are Depressing.
Seriously, they are.

"The bad news is that the PS4 will not be able to play PS3 games, so users might want to consider selling their games, or trading them in."
and this gem:
"Rumors are circulating that the next generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles will also block people from being able to play used games.
Some news isn't too bad, like the Playstation 4 releasing before the "NextBox 720":

My parents still dream
LOL! Such a rad cartoon.
I wanted to be a video game tester pretty bad. That or call center rep like the people in the movie The Wizard. After working as a call center rep I can say I don't dream about that anymore.
Ya, I've heard testing sucks too. I can imagine playing a buggy game for hours on end would start to really suck. (Though it never hurt Bethesda... ba-zing!)
Hahahaha, zing but fair.... So many bugs...
Sweet!
