Do you remember when...we used to sing "Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da"?

Sorry, I could not resist that.

Anyhow, do you remember when Saturdays were spent at the arcade?
Damn you stole my idea! oh well
OP: Do you remember when it didn't seem like everything in the world was trying to kill you?

Do you remember when one of the biggest gaming headaches was losing your memory cards?
Do you remember when you had to delete stuff off your memory card so you could save another game?

Do you remember how it killed a small part of you inside when you forgot to do that before playing and couldn't save your game?
Do you remember when your memory card stopped working inexplicably and lost a few years worth of save files?

Did you know that: Blowing into a game is not recommended, at all. Moisture causes corrosion, and by blowing into your cartridge, you are actually setting it up for future problems. Instead, clean your games properly.

Do you remember when Nintendo 64 and Playstation where the only options for gaming, and no one could even dream of something like the console wars going on today? That was the good old times if you ask me. ^^
PLEASE! I remember when your choices were Atari 2600 or Intellivision! Then our friend up the block got a Magnavox Odyssey 2... then my friend from school got a Colecovision! I thought I was gonna SHIT MY PANTS those graphics so awesome! Zaxxon and Donkey Kong without having to pump endless quarters into an arcade, and the Baseball, holy Christ we would run to his house every day after school and play until our mothers called his house.

Do you remember before you came here to learn internet civility and you had hilarious flame wars with people?

No? Just me?

Forever alone...

Also, did anyone else have the song start playing in their head as soon as they read the title of this thread?

Do you remember when Mario 64 came out and the graphics blew your mind?

Do you remember when multiplayer meant sitting on the sofa with a couple of mates.
That my be the best multipler fun I have had and may ever have in my life.
I feel sad now :( I miss it
*Sighs*, those were the days. Hammering someone at Street Fighter II or Soul Calibur then pulling faces at them until they want to "hadukon" you in real life. Getting owned at COD4 doesn't compare.
Arh yes very true, but my games were Golden eye the FPS that requried the most kill since you only had one joystick, Donkey 64 nothing beat chasing down a mate who was about to die only yo have him jump into water where I could even shoot him, so I just lobbed granades instead and the looks on there faces where just priceless XD. Also Lylat wars, every time I started shooting at someone they could never get away untill one of us was shot down, such good times

I honestly couldn't give a fuck. Always worked for me.
