Doom

 

Maybe Alex Kidd, Super Mario Bros, Sonic etc, but Doom is what really got me into PC's.

 

You must be older than you look.

Nothing to see here - move along.

i do not even understand how a 17 year old child can feel old in the first place, or refer to anything as "back in"

 

on a side note .. ocarina of time? super mario 64? super nintendo/nintendo 64 anyone? ..

ocarina of time was such a good game. 

My profile pic is the game i'm currently playing. I hope i remember to change it..

Metabots and Beyblade games on GBA. I loved the Metabots RPG and battle arena games. Those were the best ever. I'd play that again for the largest dose of nostalgia

Duke nukem, the one that cam out prior to 3D, i can't remember the name, 3D was also awesome

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
