SNES era. Playing Mario Paint, Mario Kart, F ZERO, etc with my big bro. Dude, Joe and Mack was awesome. I mean, not really, but we were kids then, we werent assholes yet. Clayfighter was so much fun. Good times. We were so young and stupid and didn't value 2D as much as we should have.

Diablo 1 (Hellfire), Diablo 2 with LoD, Warcraft II, Counterstrike at LAN, Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye on the N64 were a blast as well. Hot seat games in Heroes of Might & Magic were fantastic as well!
Coop in Baldur's gate I and II, Neverwinter Nights etc. A lot of good memories with local multiplayer, I still much prefer it over playing over the web, it becomes impersonal and remote somehow.

Nobunaga's Ambition.

Yeah, that's right. I used to ride my bike up to my friend's house and we'd play for hours. Worst outcome in gaming is when your guy would just drop dead from natural causes.

Secret of Mana - First game I was able to play together with my two older brothers. We need more JRPGs like this!!
Final Fantasy 9 - Great experience and best FF sharing with my bro
Resident Evil 5 - Played with my girlfriend and she loved the hell out of it and helped me get my first Platinum
Catherine - Played with my girlfriend through the coop challenges. She picks up quick and also helped me Platinum

NES it would be when my mother used to babysit and all us kids would be playing Super Mario Brothers 3.

SNES it would be countless hours of Super Mario Kart battle mode with my brothers (miss the feather jump)

N64 it would be 4 player pretty much every game: Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Rush 2049, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros., Battletanx, Gauntlet Legends, Army Men: Sarge's Heroes...man those were the days

PC: Vette! w/ serial cable (chasing around all of San Francisco), Doom (had tons of WADs), Descent, Freespace, Command & Conquer (Red Alert was the best), Rainbow Six, the top down GTA and GTA2, Motocross Madness (tag was amazing), Half-Life (Sven Coop), Unreal Tournament ('99), tons of memories playing with my brothers on our local network.

Battletanx <3



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

Well, I guess I should post in this thread :)

There are too many to name, but here's one close to my heart.

When I was a freshman in high school, I got into a bit of an escalating trash talk war with Lou, a cast mate in the school's production of Damn Yankees. He considered himself the best GoldenEye 007 player around. I thought the same of myself. We went back and forth, finally deciding to settle it in a public forum.

Closing night, everyone assembled at a local house for the after-party. And the battle for champion of the universe began. To start, it was a four-person match: me, Lou, and two others. Lou and I placed second and first, respectively. Then, there were two. In a grueling match that pushed both of us to the limits , I finally emerged the victor. It was such a fun night, with a crowd of people cheering us on.

And Lou's one of my best friends today - 17 years later :)

There's too many of them, but for example beating Captain Commando at the arcade with some friends I made during the summer holidays when I was 11.
