I liked having the old games where you played side to side. There was always one person that would cheat and knock the controller out of the other person's hand. Actually i was that bastard.. but it sure was fun! I also remember playing mario cart in college with a bunch of dudes for close to 10 hours. we skipped class, got drunk and played mario cart. Not a worry in the world..

My friend had one of those but we lost interest cuz it took so long to play. I liked the ability to jam a cartridge inside the atari 2600 and push the on button to play. no load times at all!

Maybe cuz im getting old but the games are not that fun anymore. I loved th e old games cuz it was sooo fake. But since it was fake, it made it more interesting by imagining more. I used to make sound effects when i fought the bosses in "double dragon" and screamed my victory cheer when i beat them. now its too damn real and too pretty.
