Before any of the other Smash Bros games that would come out, the original I played. Smashing targets was a pain in the butt, but fighting with Nintendo characters, playing against Master Hand and defeating him was a blast. Super Smash Bros, Nintendo 64, April 99

Memories of Gaming Past Part 10: Goldeneye 007
Nintendo brought out the Nintendo 64, and while there were a few stinkers(See Superman 64), there were a few awesome games. Goldeneye was one of them. Sure, First Person shooters were never my forte, but Goldeneye 64 was awesome at making this genre fun, especially with multiplayer. Nab a few people, then annoy them with… Continue reading Memories of Gaming Past Part 10: Goldeneye 007

Memories of Gaming Past KitsuneKon Special: Soul Calibur II: One of my favorite fighting games of all time was the original Soul Calibur(More on that shortly).

It's the only SC with releases on all three Gen 6 consoles,… Continue reading Memories of Gaming Past KitsuneKon ’15 Special- Soul Calibur 2
Memories of Gaming Past: KitsuneKon ’15 Special- Sonic 2
Memories of Gaming Past: KitsuneKon edition: Sonic 2. This one featured the level which we cannot beat without a bit of skill (Stupid Water Level), but try using a puny joystick with it. Lots of fun can be had...
Memories of Gaming Past :Kitsunekon ’15 Ragequit Special-Superman 64
Memories of Gaming Past Kitsunekon Special: Superman 64. Now I can say I have played it and know it sucked as much as ET. Add tilt controlls into the mix, and you have a near unplayable game. And yes, you have to go through rings. A ton of rings.
Memories of Gaming Past 009: Final Fantasy IX
Save my favorite game for last in my Memories of gaming past for the PS1. Considering this was released almost right at the end of the 5th generation, (Dreamcast was released in '99, this game in 2000), it was an enjoyable and long JRPG.

Memories of Gaming Past 008: Grandia
Besides the Lunar series, Game Arts also worked on the Grandia series. The first game stands out in my mind as a true adventure RPG in the PS1 era. Exploring places is what this game does well. This is a game that also is on PSN, so you don't have to look high and low… Continue reading Memories of Gaming Past 008: Grandia
