    Yeah when I was little I would watch my brother play and really never try to do anything except put the hamster in the microwave. For a 6 year old that was the greatest feat know to man. Did you ever play the sequel "Day of the Tentacle"? Really is one of my favorite games of all time.

    That game was hard as hell and a exercise in memorization and frustration unless you had a guide.

    Ha, wow... Best graphics I ever saw from the Genesis was Sonic 3 when you had to collect rings in 3D..... Then I played Jusrassic Park on snes yesterday and the whole thing was in 3D..... Not even close to the sucky Genesis version.... :(

    Anyone know if the new one on XBOX 360 is comparible? It looked more like a FPS game..

    I always thought the graphics on OOTW were crap.

    The controls were really clunky too.

    But if you liked adventure/puzzle stuff, you probably loved it.

    The only competition it had was like... Pitfall

    I remember playing Mortal Combat 3 and never being able to past the second opponent. Pissed me off every time.

    My fav game on there was Doraemon. Azns should know what I'm talking about.

    I regret not keeping my NES for nostalgia reasons. Fortunately my SNES is packed away somewhere at my parents house.

    Shoot...2600 cartridges cost $75 new. At least that's what my parents told me a while ago.

    I still have my NES and SNES up in my attic with a good number of games for both.

    I agree.

    I loved my DC.

    Kept it for several years past its prime.

    I think I was playing that thing well into 2003 when I finally cracked and got an XBox because of Halo.

    I always wanted a Dreamcast but it was too expensive for me... I had a hard time getting a Nintendo 64 :(.... I would love to own a Dreamcast, Playstation, Sega Saturn....

    If anyone is feeling nostalgic about these games, they should look into emulation, for playing on their PC.
