I don't remember what it was called, but it was some game I played on OS/2, I think. Something with a bulldozer.

I had always thought that was started by Contra because that's the game that made it famous but its actual first use was in Gradius which was also developed by Konami.

I used to sneak on my dads computer and play this as a kid. I could never figure out that he needed the protection before he would sleep with the hooker and would always die. I would have been in so much trouble if my Dad had caught me.

5392this is where I started. we had it in the Den and would have elimination tournaments.

5394 then I would beat everyone in Armor Ambush

Tell me about it.

I remember when I was a kid. My dad and I would sit for hours seeing who could get a higher score. He obviously had his own and I had my own

I also remember when my dad threw his at me cause I wasn't at home when the cable man showed up.

This happened when we were stationed in Germany when I was a kid. Literally, there was like two channels but def worth having.

Secret of Mana......best RPG ever!

[Rickety Rob]

Secret of Mana......best RPG ever!

I'd have to say Chrono Trigger would be

[Valorfall]

Final fantasy VII and VIII are the best bar none.

[KaNtSt0PMeH]

I'm biased to FFVII but Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana are amazing. So is Legend of Dragoon!

[GhostOverride]

I would say its pretty much a toss up between FFVII and Chrono Trigger...hell I have that one downloaded on my Wii...can't find an original copy for my NES anywhere

[Rickety Rob]

Final fantasy VII and VIII are the best bar none.

VII is def in my top five.

Probably number two cause chrono trigger is the game that brought me into RPG's.

As far as for VIII. I wasn't a big fan of it
