Using the dance pad is a surprisingly good cardio workout.

Section Z was a bit easy/repetitive when it comes to classic NES games.. Sidearms was such a vastly superior game with nearly exactly the same sort of gameplay, it was hard to take Section Z seriously.

My favorite NES games (in no real order)

River City Ransom
Castlevania
Gumshoe
Mega Man
Zanac
Solomon's Key
Athena

Best NES game that isn't on my favorites list:
Goonies

Currently my off EQ time has been spent going through Final Fantasy Tactics. I loved nearly everything about that game. The only pain in the ass was leveling up your characters and their jobs. It was tedious until you found out the little quirks that could net crazy exp in no time.. Can we all say Chakra?

Right now I've got my friend's gamy boy advance at work with me, and I've been playing Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis. Made by the same team that Square hired to make FF:T. It's very very closely related. It may just be a genre thing for me, but I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

Other games I have really enjoyed in the last year or so:

Zelda: A Link to the Past - SNES
Zelda: Links Awakening - GBoy
Metal Gear Solid 1/2 - PS/PS2
FFX - PS2
Star Control 2 - 3D0
Final Fantasy 6 (FF3 US) - Emulated SNES
Final Fantasy Tactics - PS
Red Faction 1&2 - PS2 (Not great games, but addicting somehow.)

I can't add Devil May Cry in there. I dunno what it was, but I just did not like that game. It seemed to be so trite to me. I went through the whole game in a weekend, and I just felt unfulfilled when it ended.

I guess I just like the timesink games. I've always preferred a good story to awesome graphics or pools of blood to wade through.

My Favorite game of all time would have to be The Legend of Zelda. Played it first when I was six. Me and my mom would sit at the TV and play for hours. So many wonderful memories from playing that game. To this day, I still get goose bumps when playing it.

SNES: Zelda: A Link to the Past

N64: Mystical Ninja (Humorous, and good platform/action game play)

PS1: FF7, This one was a lot like The legend of Zelda to me. Not the game play of course, but the memories from playing it. Alundra (Action RPG fans have got to try this one. Much like zelda)

Dreamcast: Soul Calibur (Never have been a fighting game fan, but this one rocks)

PS2: ICO (beautiful game. Like playing a painting)

XBOX: Dragons Lair 3d (never played the old one. This is just a fun game)

sparty name is

Good cardio workout on the actual arcade machines maybe. In a carpeted house and those dance pads slipping not really. You spend more time trying to keep standing than actually playing imo.

Well, if you're using a shitty mat on thick pile carpeting, maybe.....

Axien_Dellusions · Post by **Axien_Dellusions** » May 7, 2003, 10:54 am

Well so far the best mats that I've actually seen and recommend to my customers who buy DDR Max and the Konami Mix is the Naki dance pad since it can take a beating and still work. Most of the people that I talk to have a problem getting it to stick unless they duct tape it to the floor.

I'm just relaying what I've seen. My husband and I had a few friends over one night and they brought it and the game. I watched my best friend almost go through our back door when the pad slipped so I'm very wary about playing at home unless it's with a controller.

Wonder Boy in Monster Land for the old Sega Master System. That game was the shit!

FF2 (4 in Japan) was the all time king of RPGs as far as I am concerned. You can load that game up on an emulater/PS1 re release and it is still fun to play. Great story, great gameplay, incredible music.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo (and later Super SF2) for the NES was another game I played the shit out of. Might not be as fancy as modern fight games or as pretty, but there has not been a game since that has had the depth of strategy and wide range of characters who were TRUELY different to play. Bushido Blade 2 is the only game to ever come close, imo.

Vice City is the first game in a long time to really hook me as a console game. It is the most carefully crafted game I have ever seen. Every detail had a lot of thought put into it to make it have a true feel of the Miami Vice setting it is paying homage to. It also has the virtue of being a game that is challenging enough to require skill, but not so maddeningly hard that you want to jam the controller up the designers ass. FF10 has a similar level of attention to detail, and like Vice city the voice acting and story are excellent, but its just too easy which hurts the replay value.

dynasty warriors rox, DW4 has new XP based weapon system, pretty cool. New 'orb' items are nice too adding an element to yer attacks.

I'd have to say Midnight Club Racer 2 and FFX were both very addictive. Red Faction was good. Onimusha 2 was awesome. But presently I can't seem to quite.. turn.. off.. Ratchet & Clank.

Mix online game rentals (RentZero, GameFly), Flip-top PS2 Case and a DVD burner and almost any game is good enough for the $2.00 dvd blank..

btw - if you're interested in game copies, the flip-top is definitely the way to go.. screw the chips.

Super Nintendo - Shadowrun is still my favorite of all time.
Sega Genesis - Warriors of the Eternal Sun is a close second

Lohrno · Post by **Lohrno** » May 12, 2003, 3:58 pm

While I'd have to cricify myself for not saying:

Zelda 1, Zelda 3, Super Mario Bros 1, 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Final Fantasy 2 and 3 , I'd say my favorite RECENT ones are:

Jet Set Radio Future
Animal Crossing
Metroid Prime
and Final Fantasy X

I really like JSRF, it's easy to learn, and hard to become good. I like it so much I can put aside my severe dislike of cel-shading.

Shining force 1 and 2 for Sega Genesis. I LOVED those games. Anyone else ever play them?

Final Fantasy 7 on Playstation was badass as well, 8 wasn't quite as good though.

All i have to say is "Final Fantasy Origins" 32-bit versions of FF1 and FF2 cleaned up, retextured, cool effects like FF6. Same old game/story line. And a collection feature like the FF re-releases on playstation.

I own (on original cartridge and re-releases):
FF1, FF2, FF4, FF5, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9, FFX
Chrono Trigger, ChronoCross
Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Legend of Mana
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Legend of Dragoon
Xenogears
FF Tactics
Chocobo Racing
Bushido Blade 1 & 2
Bouncer

Don't own:
Tobal #1 (rented it once, not worth owning even for collection)
Parasite Eve 1 or 2 (just thought it was weak wanna be Resident evil)

VeeshanVault

Best Console Game.

Dynasty Warriors

Lohrno

FF Series and other Squaresofts
