I haven't tallied what games I've played to get a count yet, but Doc, Game Theory sounds totally up my alley and I'm going to try and make it out for it.JasonSun, 06 Apr 2008 22:59:42 -0000http://kevnull.com/2008/04/history-of-video-games-1972-2007.html#comment-4697539btw, if you are interested, feel free to come talk about games at the next Game Theory. <a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/467714/" rel="nofollow">http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/467714/</a><br>It's just an informal get together, sometimes we play games, sometimes we talk about making new games, mostly we talk about pr0n.Doctor PopularSun, 06 Apr 2008 03:30:35 -0000http://kevnull.com/2008/04/history-of-video-games-1972-2007.html#comment-4697538I'm not going to be annoying and say "Oh shit, you never played Mega Man!?!!1!!".<br>Instead, I'm just going to go through your list and say...<br>It's a shame you missed out on Pitfall. It had great sound effects and colors. Another good Atari sidescroller was H.E.R.O.<br>I do think it is pretty crazy you haven't played the Megaman series. That was the first game I remember really being obsessed with. Wait... naw, maybe Super Mario was, but Megaman was a bigger influence on my artistically than any other video game. The style of the figures was so different, considering I was used to reading Marvel comics, and so fresh. More inspired from modern design than manga or other video games, the designers somehow gave Megaman that cute/sad look with just a few pixels.<br>Earthworm Jim wasn't that great of a game, but it was one of the first games that sort of had that "straight from a comic book" look to it that games like Sam and Max would later adopt. A fantastically animated game (for the time) whose game cartridge contained a whopping 24 megs.<br>It looks like our gaming history's are a little different. I've always been a generation or two behind in terms of gaming, even when I was young. I was rocking my atari for a couple of years after the NES came out, since there were hardly any games being made anymore, I picked up hella games from yard sales. Eventually, my parents "splurged" and bought a used NES family set (with Rob the Robot and the light gun), but of course the Turbografx had been out for a while and the Genesis had just been released. Anyways, I recently got a modded xbox on ebay and I burned through a ton of games from about 3 years ago. there was some great stuff, like Psychonauts! Man I loved that game.<br>Anyways... are you sure you haven't played Megaman?Doctor PopularSun, 06 Apr 2008 02:55:36 -0000
