On the plus side, it's good to have a new batch of smilies to work with. My favorite is this catbutt with dangly turd:  :idea:  

I'll never look at the lightbulb icon quite the same ever again. Gee, thanks.  :shock:

And while it's been said before, I might as well say it again - we here at Console Gold welcome everybody from across the street at Gone Gold. It's getting a bit crowded though, so I recommend you bring your own chair or sleeping bag.

Yes, I know that this isn't the answer you're looking for, but...

Get Firefox...

Built in ad-blocking (which can be easily enhanced by a plugin), built in pop-up blocking, mouse based gesturing (plugin) that drastically increases the ease of the web... Oh, and none of the security flaws that IE has.

To answer your question though, yes, there is a way to delete Flash/Shockwave after you've installed it, but I don't know the command offhand to see/edit what's been installed in your browser. Now that I think on it though, I thought that Service Pack 2 for WinXP was going to do that as an option...

Well, I'll be watching my laptop screen at work, as life at my local pharmacy is extremely boring on weekends.

Oddly enough, it's also the days I get paid the most to simply be there. Go figure.

Well, clearly that's the Virtual Boy, so after some research:  Teleroboxer.

Never heard of it.  Can you get Virtual Boys cheap now?

Virtual Boys were cheap when they vanished off of store shelves. Hell - I got the console for $20 and the games for $5 to $10 apiece at my local Blockbuster when Nintendo discontinued them. My stand for the console is busted, and I'm short one (maybe two) of the games to make a complete and total set of everything ever released, but it was a fun console.

Too bad it ruined the development of one's eyes for any kid 12 and younger.

Anyway, you're right with your game, so go post away.

Yeah, I believe that would be her.  To confirm, here's a pic:

/speak ass

I think that was the command back in the CS .6 days (when I last played Counter Strike), when if you typed that in, the game would actually say ass.

Say, with this forum software can we turn it up to page 11?

With this forum software, there are no limits. At least, not that I've been told anyway.

Break page 11 and we'll see what happens.

It sure does....I remember a stack of them on top of a trashcan..do you?

Yeah, that I do. I think I still have that photo lying around somewhere.

In all honesty though, this was a good game if you liked the traditional MMO formula. The best part though (IMHO) was the instanced dungeons. It allowed you and your team to get away from the crowds and the kill-stealing, tucking you away from the rest of the world in a dungeon all of your own.

Since then, most MMOs have them. Go figure.

After digging further, I found that the name was Evo: Search for Eden. Man, my memory is good tonight. And what a great game.

Let's try something a bit different. And harder:



Anybody remember this eye-ruining classic?

It's that...oh... *racks brain*

Evo for the SNES?

Should I have included more typos so I'd be more believable?

Just because I had this lying around:

Now back to your regular discussion.

Man, we started so modern - we've gone OLD-SCHOOL!  w00t!

And if you guess the game right, you can post whatever you want. Go as old school as you want, as I've been here since the beginning.

Jungle Hunt.

And it's not the Atari 2600 version I use to play so long ago, either.

Edit - and since I mentioned the Atari 2600, I'll bring you this landfill of a gem for the same console:



Yeah, I know it's a bit too easy, but what the hell.

Or  "We like how Dues ex: IW turned out and we would like to do the same thing for the System Shock..."

If System Shock gets screwed up like Deus Ex did, I'd go out and shoot myself.

Don't ruin another series, please.

I just have to say that I was a longtime poster over on Gone Gold as well, and while I haven't posted there in some time, I will be sad to see it go if it truly has gone.

So my brother didn't really own many games growing up, and he would try to play them when I wasn't around to piss me off.  For the most part I didn't care, because most of his games didn't interest me... except for two of them - Contra (NES) and this one:

Well, I'm out on this one. Looks like pre-NES and post Atari 2600, but beyond that I have no clue.

I remember when they were passing this out free to those attending E3 two years back. Boy, that brings back some memories.

still no clue.  What system was it on?

Based on the low end graphics and the resolution of the screenshot, I'm guessing NES. Maybe the Master System. *shrugs*

I just dug through my listing of NES games and nothing popped to mind. I do think us gamers are stumped on this one.

I forgot that N64 prices were in this range, too.  I just read on IGN's XBox site that Conker's Bad Fur Day for N64 retailed for $70.

I bought that game the day it came out, and I know that there was no way in hell that I paid that kind of cash for that game.

Back in my younger days, I remember all SNES and Genesis carts running $50, the industry standard. Short of Phantasy Star 4 (which I remember was like $70 when it came out), and Virtua Racing (included some extra chips for the console), I remember the standard pricing.

You know, I thought I saw something written in there in very fine print...

Let's see here...



Wow.  :roll:

That doesn't sound all that great to me.  I was hoping more like $5 for classic games.    Still no word on when it's coming out.

Considering how easy it is to 'find' some of these old classics, as well as companies selling 10-15 classics for $50 (or cheaper), that price seems outrageously steep.

Took me a while to find some screens of this game.  Ah, the memories.

Okay, it seems that you've stumped us on this one. Care to give us a hint?

Don't forget that you have a large number of Collector's Editions of Halo 2 out there.  Although they aren't much more expensive, the profit margin on those should be a bit nicer.

For $5 more you get a ton more stuff. Methinks the profit margin is less on those, personally.

Actraiser?

Yes, I can personally confirm that this game is Actraiser. What a classic. You're up.

And as far as that Darkstalkers pic goes... It could also be Night Warriors on the Sega Saturn (import) or some uber-combo game that had all the Night Warriors/Darkstalkers games on one disk for the Dreamcast (also import). No, I'm not a gaming geek.

I also stand by my position that FF6/3 was the best of Square's titles (and, yes, I've played them all since then).

And the amazing part is that I only remember seeing Mr. Bones on the back of my brother's Saturn box. We never owned it.

Anyway, for my next image, I bring your way this classic RPG from when story and plot meant far more than graphics and sound. This game was from a time when there was no FMV, no CGI movies, and no Dolby Digital Surround Sound. It was also (IMHO) Square's (or Square Enix, or Squenix, or whatever they call themselves now) best RPG they've ever made:



Freaky final boss, no? *looks around for his soundtrack*

Man, I remember that game...what was it...

Mr. Bones on the Sega Saturn?

Wait.  What?  Eddie already went, right?

Unless I've really missed what's going on, the next up is you with your screenshot from a game I can't place. Unless you were wrong with your Beach Spikers game (but I think you were right).

Well, you're right, Dimmona, it was Stun Runner on the Lynx.

I heard that it might've come out on some recent combo release, but I'm not sure about that offhand.

As for your non-console shot ( ), it's from either Call of Duty or the expansion of the game. Nice explosion though.

Edit - DOH! stiffler beat me by less than a minute. Your post.

Well, let me give you two a hint - as far as I know, this arcade game was ported to exactly to one console. And that console was a portable system.

War Gods.  The MK4 tech demo!

Perhaps you were lucky enough to play this one on my favorite console.

War Gods? Ye Gods.

And as far as your image - Dragon Force on the Saturn. Excellent game and a pain in the ass to beat.

Back to the classics. For fun, name the game AND the console it was on.

This one is a contender for worst fighting game ever.... I wouldnt even mention it if it werent for the fact that TML and I created it but got ripped off!

I thought that Pit Fighter was the contender for worst fighting game ever, but I can tell that this game isn't it.

What it is exactly I have no idea though.

Wait...now that I look at it, it looks like a horrible fighting game out of the '64-bit' Jaguar console. What was it called... Way of the Warrior, or something like that?

And that would be Time Crisis on the PS1.

I have to say, I never played Body Harvest.

Conker's Bad Fur Day absolutely rocked though. "I, am, the Great Might Poo, and I'm going to throw my shit at you."

Anyway, let's head back in time to a handheld that eventually couldn't:

that superfx chip is getting a work out today!  That appears to be Star Fox.

Yup, that's Star Fox. Good old demon headed Andross that showed up on the Hard difficulty path. And unlike most of today's titles, that game was actually hard.

Go find us a game, GatorFavre.

Kid Icarus for the NES! Man, what a classic.

Here's another classic on the very slow (by today's standards) SNES:


Edit: Yes, the game really did have black borders that big around it at all times.

Yup, I can confirm that. It is indeed Star Tropics.

What an awesome game. Man, the memories I had with that outstanding (for the time) title.

pr0ner, you're up!

I look at it this way - there's lots of possiblities for the little handheld that could. One thought is that the console is capable of piggybacking any DS that gets into range, to extend the range of the first console.

Just imagine if it could actually do that.

And on the other side of the coin - since the game uses 800.11 (or whatever the low-end wireless standard is called), the Warp Pipe Project guys (the ones who get LAN games on the Gamecube to go online over the internet) are going to work on that console as well.

What the hell is that game... I know I've seen it before.

Is it even an American game?

*digs through his extensive NES memories*

The first Final Fantasy on NES?

We have a winner!

Final Fantasy 2 indeed, Dimmona... And you call yourself a gamer.
My very first RPG (FF1). Now that was a classic game.

Well, I'd say PaRappa the Rapper, but I know that's not it. So, let's see here...

*light bulb explodes*

It's a Parappa the Rapper lookalike - Gataroo-Man. That's a classic I never played. Seen some people play it really well (or something like it anyway) in the arcades. Impressive.

Here, let's try another classic game (this time hosted on my personal server to make sure it works):

C'mon, it's not that tough...  

For some reason I'd like to say Raven. But I'm not that sure at all.

Tim, go again, your screenshot for the FF1 Ogre is busted. (http://www.rpgamer.com/games/ff/ff1/screens/ogre.jpg)

Well, crap. It seems that RPGamer doesn't like me outsourcing images anymore. Jerks.

I haven't seen Eldon in here yet, so let's pull him in with this CGI render, borrowed from IGN:


As for me bringing up Eldon with this, well...don't ask.
