Well, a while back there was a thread called "Video Game Hell" in which we discussed the horrendous in what could happen in relation to video games or gaming. Let's do the opposite and discuss what would happen if there was a "Video Game Heaven". In Video Game Heaven none of your consoles fall apart and malfunction. No faulty on/off switch on Colecovisions, no red ring of death on the Xbox 360, no bent 72 connector pins on the NES front loader, etc.

Played some Galaga today. This is on advanced settings using the 7800 emulator.

I have to go with the NES version. It was the first version of DK Jr. that I played and the one that is truly faithful to the actual arcade also the added bonus is all 4 levels are included. The 2600 version is dreadful in the sound department and in terms of gameplay. The electrical stage most notably. I have the 5200 multicart and have not given it a full run, but definetley need to. The 7800 version graphically and in design and layout is identical to the NES port but the sound is pretty dreadful to listen to. The Intellivision version I think is pretty decent and a good version to play other than Mario looking like a naked smurf and Donkey Kong looking like a mutilated Kermit the Frog. The Colecovision is second in my opinion. Plays smooth, good graphics, and the sound is pleasing. The Colecovision never fails in producing arcade hits. Never played the Commodore 64 version. Happy to have a DK Junior arcade marquee in my game room.

I got a good deal of favorite Playstation games. The whole Crash Bandicoot series: I enjoy all three! I just like the mix of the overhead view mixed with the 2D sidescroller platformer tornadoing your way through levels. Warped is my favorite out of the whole bunch. These three games are a must have for your Playstation library. Gran Turismo 2: This is personally the best racing game in the market as farbas my opinion is concerned. Over 700 cars, tune them up for events to win big money, earn licenses which is fun, and even import your vehicles in arcade mode for quick racing fun. My favorite one in the whole series. Symphony of the Night: This is also one of the best for the series of Castlevania games. Awesome level design, phenominal graphics, great weapons, and overall a fun game to play. Driver: A great car driving action game. Takes place in 1978 as an undercover cop named John Tanner. After passing the (pain in the ass) parking garage exam you are on your way to infiltrate organized crime. Fun fun game. Mega Man 8: One of the most underrated Mega Man games in the series. It still retains the classic 2D sidescrolling/vertical stages from the NES with nice colorful graphics. The only cons are some of the sounds and voice acting but it doesn't stop the fun. You collect bolts to upgrade your abilities and the difficulty is perfect as most Mega Man games are pretty tough. Resident Evil: The best of the best when it comes to survival horror games! I shall say no more!

Why do we ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Why do feet smell and noses run? How can a SLIM CHANCE and a FAT CHANCE be the same, while a WISE MAN and a WISE GUY are opposites? Why is it called a HAMBURGER, when it’s made out of BEEF? Why doesn’t GLUE stick to the inside of the bottle?

Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 hands down in my opinion. That weied eee-ooo eee-ooo sound when the game begins, the buck-oooh sound when he chomps on a ghost, lastly the ear cringing sound effect when he eats the pellets.

I found a Vectrex for sale in my vicinity on Craigslist. It's in great shape with a couple games for $275. I'd go for it if it was $200. That's something that is going to require a lot of patience for me to acquire in thr future as the prices for it are rising. Another one I love to get is the Atari XE computer and if the system was more reliable an Astrocade.

How come no one has mentioned Incredible Hulk!?!?

Coming soon.....

Believe it or not Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures in the Park is a decent game. If you like Pitfall type games it is reminescent to it. It starts out easy but gets harder in later stages.

Yes you are. I have a factory sealed Hulk!

Sorry. You only get extras at Scam's Club. And one is the constant delayed CD version.

Coming this holiday season!! Comes with a free pack in game!!

Went to the local arcades for all you can play arcades for $10. Out of 80+ plus machines these are my last three that I played. Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. (Playchoice 10) Space Firebird

A fine example of Video Game Hell.

I like to play the game legit and without using any cheats. I find it more honest and it better displays your skills whether it is difficult or not. I like using Game Genies to experiment rather than trying to accomplish a game.

Hey gang!! Which video game console is it that you are missing, wanting, or do not own in your library or game room that you would like to own and have it centerpieced? I have over 35 systems with a few modded xboxes plus a modded wii drowning me with tons of emulators and roms. But for a console that I would love to own. I got everything that I primarily want. But one that stands out as a must have for me to get in the future would be the Vectrex. I enjoy the arcade classics with vector based graphics. The controller is really cool and reminds me of the NES, Master System, 7800 (CX7800), and Turbo Grafx-16. I also like is that it's somewhat compact and if I get one, I can put it on a nightstand. And lastly from what I've heard others mention is they praise it for it's durability. Time is all yours!
