Hope your kidding w/ that "angry mobs" comment, Vin. Have fun this week, everyone- yet another game I dont have.

1,163,000 (light gun)- I can only play 3 or so games before my arm starts to hurt. What are your favorite areas? The desert, jungle, & river stages are great to rack up points. I hate the ice cave & volcano stages. The drawbridge is easy- just keep your sights on the tower wall, picking off archers when they appear, moving only to hit the pterodactyl. I dont even visit the village in the corner- too scary, & too much danger.

The company is the same. The NINJA disk should self-boot w/out holding any buttons. Mine always did (& does).

Kasumi Ninja 7 Hover Strike: UL 8 Val D'Isere S&S 9 Syndicate 4 (didnt port well & gets way too hard too fast) Brutal Sports Football 6 Attack/Mutant Penguins 9 Cybermorph 7 (loved it in the beginning, now quite bland) Battlemorph 8.5 Towers II 7 I-War 8 (sparse & blocky but good Tron-like premise & fun to play) Ultra Vortek 9 Super Burnout 8.5 Flip-Out 5 (never got into it) Zoop 8.5 (fast/frenetic, good party game) AvP 9 Iron Soldier 8.5 IS2 9 Doom 9 Tempest 2K 9 Defender 2K 8 Primal Rage 8 Blue Lightning 7 World Tour Racing 7.5 (great Jag racer but blocky & dated) Dragons Lair 7 Highlander 8 (good adventure game) Myst 9 (classic, glad they ported it) Vid Grid 8.5 (MORE SONGS! Why didnt they make more of these???) Dino Dudes 9 (great graphics/music) Dragon: Bruce Lee Story 8 (highly underrated, but a decent fighter) Pinball Fantasies 8.5 (I could play it all day) Pitfall: Mayan Adventure 7 Rayman 8 Supercross 3D 6 (OK racer, graphics suck) Zool2 7.5 Zero5 8 (great graphics/music but too damn hard) Jeez, I didnt realize I had so many until asked to list them...

Thanks Vin- good sportsmanship is always in style.

My point exactly- do we END PLAYING at the set deadline (in this case, Wed midnight), or is that the latest we can POST OUR SCORES??? Dont mean to nitpick, just want it to be fair.

This ended Wed at midnight, right? So did we have until then to play the game or to post our score? If so, Vinnie, you posted about 12 hours after the deadline... Do the base shapes change after the second planetoid appears? I mean when the ship pulls up to the base to begin the level, are there any new shapes?

Ah crap, forgot my ps1 games: FINISHED: Echo Night & Juggernaut (both great, highly underrated) Countdown: Vampires (not so great but decent Resident Evil clone) Dino Crisis 2 IN PROGRESS: Iron Soldier 3 Critical Depth Hexen BRAHMA Force Descent Maximum Reel Fishing Powerslave Kagero: Deception 2 TO BEGIN: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

The audio at the start of Jinks is cobbled from Gauntlet if you pay close attention: "Welcome!" (to the game) "You cant catch me!" (the thief says this when he appears) "Yow-ow!" (the elf getting hit) & the sound effect when you step on a teleporter LarcenTyler, you gotta lot more games to play...

Champions of Norrath (once through as the Dark Elf) Clock Tower 3 Silent Hill 3 (x2) Primal Rune: Viking Warlord (decent game despite LONG load times, worth playing) Many more in progress: Sky Odyssey Drakan: Ancient's Gates Ape Escape 2 (just passed 50%) WarHammer 40K Mace Griffin Myst 3 Manhunt Shadow Man: 2econd Coming Yet to start: Beyond G&E Prince of Persia Midnight Club 2 Shadow Man (Dreamcast) Mark Of Kri Extermination Mr Mosquito

"Long lost"? I've known these for quite awhile: Hidden Palace: press # at background select screen Subway entrance: press * at background select screen "Carbon" character (looks like Grok): play Earthquake Zone at Hard/Killer level, & win a double perfect match Anvil Drop (Inner City Chaos level): at Annihilation Time, press down, down, down, & *, A for Skullcrusher, Lucius, Dreadlok *, B for Volcana, Grok *, C for Buzzsaw, Mercury Speed Select: 1+5+9 on title screen Voice Modem: 9+1+1 on title screen Options select: 1+2+3+7+9+option on "Eye" screen

After some weak attempts I managed to scrounge up: 768,325 I took pics, but I've had trouble posting them in the past. FWIW, the last 3 bases I saw were a clawed insectoid shape, a rocketship, & a small planet (just like the second base).

How 'bout spending your "fucking god damn" money on a dictionary so you can spell "currently", "piece", "extremely", & "effectively"? You seem like a real class act, VidGameKing.

Karateka.

Oh brother- another vertical/horizontal PS2 thread/fanboy showcase. I'm not even gonna dignify it w/ a response. Oops.

Beyond Castle Wolfenstein speaks German.

Since jedijeff & I were "denied" awhile back, I vote for Xenophobe again.

Super Ghouls & Ghosts if you like punishment & frustration. Blackthorne Hal's Hole-in-One Golf I also found Nigel Mansell's World Championship to be a nifty little racing game. You also owe it to yourself to try a fighter like Super Street Fighter II, Killer Instinct or Mortal Kombat 3.

Hate to nitpick- wouldn't it be "ch-ch-ch-check it out"?

I love in that comic-book ad the 4th grade girl saying "later baby" w/ her hand out as she leaves the scene, & his friends slamming the door, forsaking him. "Your old man bought the wrong computer."

I'm going along w/ Gunstarhero on PB Fantasies- 3 of the boards are great, but I cant get anywhere w/ BD Game Show. The sound FX in all are fabulous. My favorites in order are: Stones & Bones (I love the bell chiming/wind blowing before the ball launch) Partyland Speed Devils BD Game Show Never played Ruiner, so I cant speculate.

Off the top of my head (some titles to come): Full Spectrum Warrior Splinter Cell Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Rainbow Six 3 Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow CounterStrike That's 7 titles I can name just sitting here. While gameplay differs among them (somewhat), there's no doubt about what they are: military-themed games. Getting defensive about it tells me the truth hurts. If you like 'em, fine. Give me an innovative, original title any day.
