[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 285577, member: 134"] This thread is going sideways on a tangent, but it's such a fun tangent! If you see a Hercules, you simply have to play it. It won't translate in any other form, and though it functions like crap, it's still an experience. Same goes for Orbitor 1, which is straight up bonkers and by the 3rd ball you'll wonder if you shouldn't have cut bait already, but no way could you have NOT played it! And yeah, my folks rarely gave me a quarter, so I'd stand by whatever video game was there in the grocery store and watch whoever played. On rare occasions, the person playing would leave an extra credit on the machine or get pulled away by their parents, leaving a game in action for me to swoop in on (on promptly lose a life within 30 seconds). I think I chose who I'd be good friends with based on what console they had. The Atari 2600 kids, those were a dime a dozen. Kid with Intellivision, usually kinda quirky, better have a decent game collection. ColecoVision, that kid was my new best friend! My actual best friend at the time had that and the 2600, a bazillion games, and it was all in his bedroom which meant we could play to our hearts content. NES happened while I was in high school, so I didn't pay it any attention, not when I could drive myself to an actual arcade. By college my buddy had the SNES, Genesis, and Turbo Grafix 16, and he would lend them to me and my roommates. He did get the Jaguar (Aliens vs Predator blew our minds if for nothing else than being the first game we played with surround sound) and the 3DO (Incredible Machine for the win) which he'd also let me borrow. It was him who gave me the N64, but the PlayStation won me over almost immediately. Funny thing is, he was always trying to get me into PC gaming, and it took pinball to make that happen. [/QUOTE]
