I've got balls of steel!

International karate was great for its time.

um, spore should be number 1 or at least make the list :P biggest disappointment for me ever after watching that GDC conference....

I never thought about CJ's humble origins whilst flying around in a jet pack, mowing down rival Ballas. He came along way, baby.

My left hand never minds me playing video games, and almost always joins in....

I always hear the Zerg's overmind speaking... "We require more minerals." haha

HeadShot! is definitely needed Firaga. Other UT(DotA) sounds are iconic to me too, like Double Kill! Godlike! and M-M-M-Monster Kill!

Great list and article tho!

In a lot of the screen shots, it looks as though the player is on foot. Even at level one there should be a way to ride around on a speeder, tauntaun,hover car, or something. Not only is it Star Wars, but who wants to run around for miles in anonther MMO.

That was always an issue for me, running around for ever...

(eyes perk up)

Space combat?

Recognition for the degenerates. Ah, the sweet smell of irony!

- Holy Crap! I almost forgot about Crusader: No Remorse! I loved the game play in that one, and I can't think of any game like it. Origin was the greatest back in the day, someone reanimate it's corpse, please!

- Dos Box is calling... Nostalgia factor in overdrive..

- Origin needs a resurrection. When I was a kid, Origin was the top dog video games company, and they made a bunch of games that I will always remember fondly. Who could ever forget Wing commander? I still daydream about my favorite RPG of all time Ultima VII. This world definitely needs another Privateer game, ASAP!

Oh, you know I'm gonna rant and rave about this weeks question...
- Everyone is still waiting for a proper successor to X-Com, right? I really hope the Take-Two guys can make one.
- Also, I would love a really good remake of Bullfrog's Syndicate.
- How about another Ultima Underworld? Those games were my favorite back in the day.
- Bring back Tex Murphy.

When I die in the game, does my bot go to transformers heaven? RotF was the worst movie I've seen in a long time. I'm pretty sure it'll be remembered by future film historians as one of the most expensive pieces of juvenile garbage ever to grace the silver screen. The game, regardless of how good it is, won't be getting a bloody red cent out of my pockets.

This is a really nice collection of mods. I'm still playing vanilla Fallout 3 w/ the expansions and a few graphic enhancements. You've got me pretty excited to try the Fook mod.

Sounds like a good game, and I'm considering a purchase.

Hold 'em is only worthwhile when there's value to the pots. Playing Wii Hold'em sounds about as fun as watching an infomercial. Just wanted to give you some feedback, Nick. You're doing a great job.

BTW, you guys would have to pay me to take that copy of Chun Li off of your hands.

Great article. Most of those games were important to me as I grew up, especially Dragon's Lair, Gauntlet, MK, and SF2. Virua fighter and DDR not so much, but you make their impact obvious, since I loved Tekken, and played my share of Rock Band. Nostalgia is a cruel mistress: I miss the days when arcades were the ultimate game havens.

Ha Ha! the terminator outro had me laughing!
