Of you're looking for those a great place to look is toys r us. Around here anyway lol I get lucky there and find hard to get ones there like Little Mac and gannondorf
Excellent advice. Finally found a TRU, which aren't near where I live, and they had Ganondorf. Picked up a pikachu while I was at it. Thanks again!
I want to complete the Smash cast, at least. I missed a lot when they were new, but on the other hand, this also means the scalpers have let their grips loosen on the prices.
I'm thinking the same thing. I've avoided some like DK because the character didn't interest me, but I'm thinking right now, I should go ahead and pick that up to have the original 12 at least.

Personally, I loved your example Mike. If there is a feasible way to get me the full collection, I'd happily take them as I'm just not trying to get my kids into the realm of retro gaming and being able to put those on the tablet would be perfect.

New Leaf is great. The Gamecube version is my favorite personally. It's got a lot of the old NRS games on it that Nintendo charges $5 a piece for these days. Scribblenauts it's a pretty good game for a 10 year old too. It let's you try to figure out puzzle type stuff by typing in anything you want. Even making zombie tacos and whatnot
Scribblenauts? I had to look into that one, and that looks pretty freaking cool! Thank you for the idea!

I've got around 20 of them. I've got all the Zelda ones aside from Ganondorf, the Kid Icarus ones, and some other odds and ends that the kids wanted. I really was only after Ness and Little Mac for me, but I can't ignore the kids when they want to get some too.

My mom always insisted on buying these god-awful things
THESE! That and bubblegum. I'm not sure which was honestly worse, but damn, when I saw the orange and black, I'd start getting sick.

I actually have DOSbox set up and running specifically for the old Oregon Trail game. Aside from that, most of my old DOS games I have purchased through GOG to be able to still enjoy them. This has gotten me Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics! I'm so happy for groups like GOG!

For me, one of my fondest gaming memories was ordering Nintendo Power when you could get a free copy of Dragon Warrior with your subscription. I had played that game at my cousins and absolutely loved it and wanted to own it. My folks weren't happy about me "wasting" my paper route money on a magazine, but it was the best decision I had made
-
So many memories! Yars Revenge, Dragon Fire, Pole Position, Combat, Pitfall, Football, Q-Bert. I loved them all. The graphics may not have been the best, but those were just fun games.

I'm on, user ID on steam is the same as mine on here. I don't get near the time to game on Steam as I would like, but I do try to keep it running and updated.

I grew up with the Atari 2600, though also tinkered around with the Colecovision and Intellivision, which both felt so inferior. Then I got the NES when I was 9, and...well, I never looked back.
Actually that's not true. I sometimes do look back, to be reminded of what those old Atari games were like.
....
Then I remember why I prefer to emulate systems from the NES onward.
I started with the Intellivision myself as well. I might be now on more modern consoles, but one of my favorite things is the Atari Classics on the iPad when used with the iCade system. Looks like a mini arcade box in my house. I'm actually debating on getting a Rasberry Pi unit and looking at setting up a MAME system/arcade box with a basic 17" monitor and x-arcade stick so the kids can play some of those arcade classics.

I think it would make more sense for this to be a Steam Box with the possibility of free download codes for Sega games on Steam. A new game console I just don't see being able to compete unless it is a very limited release or limited market release. I might have fond memories of the original Sega Mastersystem, but this just doesn't make sense.
-
I'll admit, I'd bite on this. I'll also admit, I'd want to see Zelda II option for deign as well. I know it's not popular, but I rally enjoyed the side scrolling of that game.

Less shocked to find that I've got nude pics of you?
I don't.... Hmm.. I don't know which one of us is worse in this situation...
Gambling and nude pics? I did find the right place to spend my work day!

My understanding is that the 3DS version (or at least one of them, I can't remember if there are more) is the highest-rated and most immersive overall. I believe it's called Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Of course the Gamecube original is lots of fun and probably incredibly cheap at this point. I think a 10 year-old would dig it. Hell, if I, a 28 year-old man (at the time) could get into it enough to have arguments with his girlfriend about cutting down each others' trees and stealing the town's best furniture then I would think that just about anyone can get into it.
I wanted to say thank you. He had some e-shop money from Christmas saved and I mentioned New Leaf. He checked it out and ended up getting it. So far, he's really liking it. I think I'll hit the local game shops and see if I can't find the GCN version as well.

I once sent in a piece of really awful envelope art to a magazine. Lucky for me, they didn't print it.
That is how I felt overtime I had to submit any type of art for a project or contest!

I stick to my New 3DS but will occasionally break out the old PSP for some classic RPG action.
-
Sorry for adding to an old topic, but my Wii U ID is Centauri. I'll add the ones above next time I get a chance to play on it. Kids keep it pretty occupied.
-
I never could draw anything outside of a stick figure, but I loved seeing them in Nintendo Power and other game mags growing up. That's kind of a lost art these days what with e-mail and instant communication methods.

I grew up in a very rural farming community. No comic shops, no game stores, and no arcade aside from a Paperboy at the Drive In. For me, the best part of childhood was not worrying about anything and being able to grab the tackle box and pole and go fishing almost whenever I wanted. We just biked out to the river and fished from the train bridge.

Let me add a couple of my favorites to this list!
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (ps1) - Full OST (2.5 hours) https://youtu.be/RY6Hx_aTFjc
Super Castlevania IV: (SNES) -- Full OST (1 hour) https://youtu.be/sySkD2Nfwok

When I was 10, I was absolutely enthralled by fighting games. So for that PS2 I'd recommend Tekken 5, Soul Calibur 3, Virtua Fighter 4, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, or Neo Geo Battle Colosseum.
I had not thought about fighting games. He does enjoy Smash Bros. so that could be a good option. I'll check those out, thank you!

This...could be interesting. I'm not sold on a reboot, but if he is going from the earlier strips, this could be just the dark revision this show needs. I loved the campiness of the HBO version with the Crypt Keeper, but a slightly darker tone could work out well.

My junior year of college, I lived in an apartment style housing with 3 other guys. One of them was a senior who only needed 2 classes to graduate. They were Tuesday/Thursday classes. To meet his 12 hour minimum to qualify for full time status, he did a 6 hour internship on Wednesdays. He wasn't a huge gamer, but since he had the time, he asked for something that would take up some of this 4 solid days of free time. We gave him Final Fantasy 7. Thursday night, he sat down to start playing. He was still playing when I left for classes Friday. He was still there when I returned. Saturday when I woke up, the game was paused and his car was gone. He arrived a few minutes later with a couple cases of Dew and chips and little debbie snacks. That is where he stayed until Monday night when he stopped to shower and do homework. That became his routine that semester for him. He'd game from Thursday night until Monday around supper time. I don't know how many games he went through, but as a college student, I was completely in awe of him.

I remember Dodgeball and River City Ransom! Those are great suggestions!
I'll look into Katamari more as that sounds oddly strange and crazy and right up the alley of a 10 year old. Thank you Areala for those suggestions.

I live just outside of Lincoln, Nebraska. We have rain, and snow, and even tornados. Some days, all 3 at once...
