Look how awesome it is in my time.

[Singularly Datarific]

The game would be , I dunno, Bioshock. Everyone else is saying it...

Also, I'd send back an AC-130 to the Alamo, give a helping hand, you know.
EDIT: What the crap am I thinking?!? I'll send the Space Shuttle back to Jules Verne.

Part 1) I'd take back Super Mario Bros. The very first one, just as a laugh to see how deflated people get at the apparent lack of technological progress.

Spoiler: See the glorious future...

Part 2) I'd take a Challenger 2 back to the Norman invasion of 1066.

Spoiler: Get off my lawn!

*In Colonel's voice* Grouchy! The future will be changed! You'll create a Time Paradox!

Two part question.

1. If you could take one single videogame back in time to the 8 bit era to show how great our games are, which one would you take?
2. If you could take any object/invention back in time to show people what would it be and what time period would you travel to?

1. I would bring back Just Cause 2 to inform them about the pinnacle of sandbox games. /fanboyism

2. I would bring back a load of condoms to the late-era Roman empire when sexual promiscuity-induced diseases and pregnancy where causing chaos and say "hey, now you won't have to stigmatize gay men because they have something to cover their dick with now."

 

[Diligent]

I Wanna Be The Guy

Come on, it would be funny!

I was thinking that. Then just explain that graphics haven't moved forward that much, things just kept getting more challenging, and it's considered to be a pretty mellow game by future standards.

*innocently* Your didn't say that when we napalmed Agincourt, sir.

 

[lacktheknack]

Game: Psychonauts. Watch the heads explode.

Object: Alienware laptop to the medieval era. Watch the panic spread.

 

[TheLiham]

Just to be a prick.

Fuzion Frenzy 2.

 

[Teh_Lemon]

Fallout. The decision making, as well as the infinitely huge amount of content will blow people away.

You're going to take Super Mario Bros, an 8 bit game, back to the....8 bit era?

Somehow I think they will be less than amazed.

That was his reason for doing it

.....Ah.....I see.

The guy who phails lives up to his name.

OT: COD. I would break the future by breaking their generations of teenagers.
Invention?
The electric lightbulb. About a month before Edison publishes his. So it can spread around the world.
Then I'd go see his reaction.

 

[Jroo wuz heer]

dunno about first question, but I would take a machine gun and infinite oranges to join a pirate crew. they would worship me

 

[Grey_Focks]

I'd take Mass Effect back, and I would take a minigun back to the time of the crusades.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

1. Valkyria Chronicles. Maybe we'd actually have Valkyria Chronicles going at it side by side with the Final Fantasy series if I did? *dreams off to happyland*

2. A medical book of some sort, then go back to 'round the 1100's or something. MASSIVE LEAP IN MEDICAL TECH! =P

 

[SuperCombustion]

take a PS2 Spyro game to the original creators and say: This is what your series will become if you sell it....... don't do it...

I'd also take a magnet to the future, if everything works on perpetual-electro magnetic reactions then an actual magnet should produce some pretty hilarious results screwing with the power network :3

Well...that's because it was Agincourt. I can turn a blind eye to only so many things.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Nothing.

I don'r want to screw up the space-time line or something.

 

[Scarim Coral]

1 I would take either Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, Gear of War or Mortal Kombat. I want to see the look of their faces that their 8 bits games will become sexy and violence. Maybe a one of them would faint.

2 I would of taken the PSone, PS2 and PS3 and travel back to when Nintendo broke off their deal with Sony to integrate CD ROM drive into a game console. No I won't be a Nintendo fanboy to travel before they work on the idea together.

 

[wearesoneutralthatithurts]

1. I really dont know. Maybe shadow of the colossus. Very special mood.
2. toilets and hygienic standarts. May prevents many plagues

 

[Squilookle]

Right, because Bomberman was famed for it's deep narrative.

All I'm saying is they'd be wowed by the graphics, then all the 'can you do this?' questions would start flooding in, none of which the game really provides for.

You said about the story, and you can do a hell of a lot in that game.

If you say so.

 

[Anarchemitis]

1. Team Fortress 2 to the pre-Doom era.

2. The Typewriter to pre-Rennaissance Europe something.
