1UP

So, my boss was away most of this week. I decided to take advantage of him not wandering by my spacious, 4 bedroom cubicle. I've begun playing this mini-golf game I was e-mailed by a friend a few years ago. That made me think of video games.

I'm very bad at video games. I play all the sports games at the easiest level, then when I play against other people, I can only win if their controller stops working. I usually go on the internet and find cheat codes to beat the non-sports games. I'm such a wuss.

But I have played a lot of games. I still have a working Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Playstation, PS2, and Atari 2600 (somewhere in storage...okay it's actually Michelle's but whatever: "Your stuff's my stuff, and my stuff's your stuff.")

Since I'm OCD, and love to organize things, and set things up, and "let's make this a contest," and if you've ever told me that, you are a buttface... yada yada...here's my list of the best games, with a few comments. Play them if you can.

NO PARTICULAR ORDER

M.U.S.H.A. - Sega Genesis
We rented this and played it all night at Papa Taylor's house.
This game is similar.

Mega Man 2 - Nintendo Enterainment System
I just played this game a month or two ago. The ending is all sad sounding. The
minibosses play a Mega Man 2 medley that kicks so much ass.

Pitfall - Atari 2600 (7800)
Green stickman jumping over things. Sweet (by sweet I mean totally awesome.)

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker - Sega Genesis
This game is another rented one we played at PT's. We always rented games and wanted so bad to beat them that we stayed up all night playing them. One time I stepped through the frozen ice. (Remember?)

Hot Shots Golf (any version) - Playstation (and PS2, probably PS3 too)
"Put your left hand on your right knee."

Brutal Sports Football - Atari Jaguar
This game was awesome. If you were tied at the end of regulation, you went into sudden death. And it was just that. Both teams fought until one team was all dead. The teams were goats, vikings, lizards, and I think rhinos. Very cool.


Mike Tyson's Punchout - Nintendo Entertainment System
Actually any version is good (In particular, I recall an
arcade version where Bald Bull was the third person you faced.) I only chose the Mike Tyson version because I own it, and because Mike Tyson is crazy and lives in my fridge. One time, when Smigeon was dating some Abercrombie-type guy from college, I bet him I could make it all the way to Tyson without getting knocked down. Then I did it. Then I kicked this guy in the groinal region.
Man, I am awesome.


That's all I can think off. Some of you are thinking, "Hey man, what about Mario, Pong, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Madden Football, Final Fantasy, Sonic, Doom, Pac Man, Halo, etc."
Those games are all stupid. They lose. Good day sir.

Is that like the Melee game dMANb has? That's a great drunken game to play.

If you haven't played Bubble Trouble on a Mac, man, you haven't experienced true excitement. I got to level 42. That's when I attained the heightened level of consciousness which allows me to look down upon the rest of you with such lofty distain. Now you know the truth of it.

I definitely would consider shittles an authority on the subject.
