How many games do you have?

[Chris]

I had a GBA, but the only games I had were a Fire Pro Wrestling and one of the Legend of Goku's. Not sure where the games are, but the GBA is around somewhere.

Ahh, you got the good stuff. I never got into the hand held gaming other than when pokeman originally came out.

I have always been a fan of Japanese RPG's, and turn based strategy games, both of those game types are typically better offered on handhelds these days. Ive also had every Nintendo Handheld(except 3DS as I am waiting to find it used on the cheap). There were a lot of family trips when I was younger, so the Gameboy was a great device to have, even if I only played Tetris, Dr. Mario, and Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

Yeah, but outside of Tetris almost everybody I knew had different games for that brick. Worked out well that we didn't need to have large collections of games to be able to play a variety of them.

Wowzer, how are you liking the ps4?

I enjoy it, I use my X1 about double the amount but I treat this gen the same as last pretty much. Single player on Sony and Multi on Micro; Live for me has always been a better platform and now that we have to pay for PSN with plus I don't feel psn is worth it. every speed test and download comparison I do Live uses 90% of my speed while PSN uses less than 40% and just slow. Kinect sports rivals/ Titanfall most played x1 games and MLB the show most played ps4 game.

Picking up Murdered on PS4 and EA UFC gamefly on both, will be a telling game for which console I'll play on more through the summer, still have a few free months of Plus.

Yea, the xbox kills in multiplayer compared to psn, but I just cant get into it. Ive had a playstation in some fasion my entire life. I am pretty much just like that one PS4 commercial where the kid grows up with ps1-ps4. I only got the xbox just to try it out, but still ended up on ps. Sidenote: Titanfall looks insane!

I swear those little cartridges could play on for DAYS, they had so much gameplay in such a little square. Either that or I just sucked at video games back then too lol

That grey brick was honestly the most impressive console I have ever touched. Graphics by todays standards are horrible, but back in the day seeing that monochrome device kill the Tiger hand held video games, and create a new market was beyond compare to anything in the line of video games to come even to this day.

I just wish that the GB, & GBC versions of Tetris(or Tetris DX) would have counted for the world leader boards, asides from Thor(the kid who won the Nintendo World Cup) I never knew of anyone else who had seen level 30, with more than 310 lines.

Well because the graphics sucked they actually had to develop gameplay. As for tetris, I still play that game to date.. I think I got to lvl 17 one time lol

I used to work security, so before my first shift I ran out and got a GBC with Tetris DX, and Wrestlemania 2000. I played Mania like twice the entire time I owned it, but Tetris was always in the machine. I still play it on my friends NES(well technically it was my grandparents, but he had the collection of existing games). I can't top lvl 25 on the NES, but that GBC game kept records of my gameplay, and seeing 318 lines was insane, I still can't repeat that performance for the life of me.

It was also a time where story was non existent, the only bit you normally had was 1 paragraph in the instruction manual.

It was bad, played like the old Acclaim games for the NES, SNES, or Genesis, but failed at what made those games enjoyable.
