(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have become restless with newskool games recently. When i go online i feel blasted with teenage angst & i'm still trying to recover from whiplash. I miss the saying "i play winner!" there was not much crying going on about loosing, it was that you had to give up your controller to the next person waiting in line.

I miss the early 90's PC gaming when DOOM ruled all shooter games & Duke Nukem was getting all the women you wish you could.

My dad would set up 5 computer in the house and host a lan party for us kids. Ah those were the days yelling down the stairs at my father for SOMEHOW screen cheating...Oh screen cheating why have you come and gone so fast! Back when maybe all you had was a 64, noobtubing wasn't an option-- it was who was the fastest at picking Oddjob before anyone else did.

I do admit, CD discs are more conventional on my lungs.. But i miss the sweet victory when you could get your gaming system to work with just a swift blow into the cartridge...maybe a jiggle of the wires or two & make sure your OP plugs are in the right spaces.

Oldskool gamers, we should all remember these days--because we all know pwning noobs online isn't better than being undefeated by your bestfriend sitting right next to you-- he can talk all the shit he wants- but we know who is the best Smile

I do miss the good old days. Although, being from the mid-90s, I wasn't really introduced to gaming until 98 or 2000. However, I remember playing Mario (evidently the only 4-year-old safe game in existence) on an N64, and I absolutely loved it. When we got our Playstation One, I pretty much dominated on Spyro, Cool Boarders, Crash Bandicoot, and Tony Hawk.

Somewhere in my collection of old games, though, sits a classic arcade game. It had a few Namco favorites on it for the PS1, including Pac Man, Rally X, and some others. You mentioned competing with friends, and that was almost all I did once I had that. As gaming modernized and the PS2 was released, 007 Nightfire multiplayer was where it was at. My dad and my brother and I spent countless hours playing each other with a multi-tap, and that's something I'm never going to forget.

ah, ps1 games-- i had to buy them for the PS2 & i have crash bandicoot on the PS3, it's still not old to this day. I even like the FAIL noise when you swirl away peaches. Good thing about oldskool games there are still new ones coming out. I'm looking forward to The Last Guardian (ICO) i'm expecting it to be non the less EPIC!

I too remember the good old Ps2 Days... And back then I could actually fall asleep without having a big bruise on my thigh because of noobs online.. All I think about going to sleep is 'Get up early, get some Weetabix or Coco Pops or Rice Crispies and turn on the 360'

Sad really..
