Grand Prix - yes I like racing games. shut up.

I just quoted all the ones you guys mentioned that I remember playing. I don't really know which gaming system was which though or which game was played on which console.

Pushpa: I like racing games too. I have a need for speed.

A few months ago, my dad came home one night with the dunk hunt game for my bro's PlayStation. I hadn't played it in forever. We all spent the following several nights playing it... my parents, all of my siblings, my uncles and my cousins. It was super fun. Quality time.

nah.. my parents' computer didn't have the horsepower to deal with the qfg games back then. i loved the sierra adventure games, though. sucks they stopped making games like that.

[zakk]

yeah, donkey kong came with colecovision. i got my colecovision for finishing the quran when I was 6. I loved the smurfs game.

by 'colecovision' do you mean an abacus with beads painted and carved to resemble video game characters?

[zakk]

that lame attempt at an insult would have made more sense if you hadn't actually mentioned colecovision in a previous post.

It's okay, senility hits men first.
