I still have my N64, albeit the controllers are all buggered beyond repair :rolleyes: I've been loyal to Nintendo since their first home console (the NES :happy: , which I still happen to have as well), but I have to say the SNES is the best system by far. Still, I prefer my 360 these days.

Hey, give Nintendo some slack - what else did you expect from the hardware during the '80s? If it wasn't for the first game, we wouldn't have had the rest of the series (imagine a world without ALttP, TTP, or even OoT :ohmy: ) It's pathetic. No point of playing the game. I also saw it's score. Very low. I pray to God that I never get this game, because it's utter crap, and I am definitely not getting that junk. I don't think so. This game Big Rigs : Over the Road Racing should be rated the 1# worst game in gaming history. It is actually.

That game (if you can even call it a "game" :rolleyes: ) is infamous for being a complete and utter waste of resources. No collision, no AI, no physics, no anything really. I wonder how someone could have let that slip through and onto store shelves... :ermm:

MGS:TTS for GCN was even better, and included things that weren't in the original PSX game. MGS4 looks to be hit in '08 (despite it being released only on PS3, and my disdain for the system altogether).

The Zelda games that were released on the obscure Phillips CD-i were absolutely horrible, if I can recall. And let's not forget Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing :ohmy: YOU'RE WINNER !

... kid, you need to comprehend what's being discussed before you make stupid comments like this one. This is not a discussion about who sold how many, and most definitely it does not mean that Super Mario Brothers is in any way better than any other game just because it has sold so many games. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" has sold more copies than any other album/CD, do you like it the most? It also had a different market when it first came out: its toughest competition was Tetris. There was really nothing else. There weren't that many computers out there (and the ones out there were really expensive)and less computer games. If someone bought a gameboy, the first thing you reached for was SMB, because it pretty much was the only thing available. And even in the gameboy arena, SMB was trounced by The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in gaming experience. Don't insult me, and don't call me "kid" - I'm almost as old as you (I'll turn 23 this August). This thread isn't about music (especially MJ :ohmy: ), and it sure as hell isn't about the technological aspects of a game. And FYI, if SMB isn't so great, then why did it sell as much as it did then, hmm? Look at it this way - each and every game has it's own uniqueness that can make it great, but ultimately it's up the the people to decide which ones actually become great. BTW, you might want to retract what you said about the Game Boy and SMB, because if memory serves me correctly, the first game released on GB relating to Mario was Super Mario Land, NOT SMB as you said. SMB was released on GBC as Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.

You're still not seeing it - are you THAT utterly brainless? When I say nothing can top the success of SMB, I MEAN IT! >:( You want proof? Here’s your proof!

This is usually the result of some stupid mod author meddling with the vanilla game. Some things should never be fooled around with I say :rolleyes:

True, it reshaped the foundations of how we play games today. But there is not one single game past, present or future that will ever achieve the legendary status of SMB. Not one. EVER.

NOW YOU HAVE INCITED THE WRATH OF THE VIDEO GAME GODS. YOU WILL NOW FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THEIR ABSOLUTION. BE JUDGED BY THEIR ABSOLUTE AUTHORITAY. How dare you, Ninja! Are you insane?! Are you completely and utterly oblivious to the facts?! No one and nothing can dispute the facts, you little insignificant speck of nothingness. Begone with you, foul devil! Get thee back to the abyss from whence thou hast come, daemon! :devil:

Every single one of you are completely and utterly WRONG!!! All of you are single-minded buffoons who don't even know your arses from a hole in the ground. The greatest, best-selling, No.1 video game EVER is Super Mario Bros, and anyone who attempts to argue with me will bring down the wrath of the video game gods.

@ Drazur: Yes, kids STILL fight over who's machine is better. Especially if owns Xbox 360/PS3/Wii, and the other owns whatever else the other one doesn't own. I think it's called "fanboyism" :rolleyes: My first system was a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES, or simply 'Nintendo'), with the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt game pak, two controllers and the Zapper. I still have it, although I don't think it works :unsure:

Perhaps the most hated (and arguably the most annoying) NPC has got to be Glarthir, you know, the ecentric paranoid Wood Elf who almost always manages to find you while in Skingrad? The one who no matter where you go in Skingrad he always runs after you? I either just duck into "Colovian Traders" or "Hammer and Tongs", or try to avoid Skingrad altogether.

Well, I agree some of these are rather memorable (Morrowind and Chrono Trigger are games I still play today), but I think what you have to understand that while these games did bring new concepts to the gaming world in general, they lack something a very select few games have: immortality. As I posted quite a while ago in this same thread, Super Mario Bros. STILL makes an impact on gamers today. Even though Mario and Nintendo aren't quite what they used to be (all thnx to Microsoft and Sony :dry: ... ), I know, for a stone-cold fact, that SMB is THE WORLD'S greatest game of all-time. Dispute this fact all you want, nothing will ever achieve what SMB did back in 1985. There was no other game (not even on the Commodore 64 OR Amiga) that could have done what SMB did. SMB is the definition of what a "game" is: deceptively simple, not violent (at least by the way "violence" is defined ;) ) so everyone can play it, old and young alike, and above all, easily replayable, even after all these years. THESE are the things that make a game immortal. Never, not EVER, has one game since the release of SMB on the NES back in 1985 been able to achieve success quite like it. And THAT is a known fact.

I'm 21, and in the prime of my life (well, I haven't even begun to live yet, so what am I talkin' 'bout :P ). Seems to me there are a majority of young 'uns my age (18-21), so I fit right in like the missing piece of a complicated jigsaw puzzle. BUT, unlike most in my age group, I have the mind of an ancient and powerful wizard (actually, it's kinda like a nerd's brainy brain inside of a jock's hot bod, more or less, altho I'm not that physically active nor THAT physically fit :closedeyes: ).

Super Mario Bros. any day, everyday. And I STILL HAVEN'T BEAT IT!

Examples, please? Oakenfold rules, btw. ;) Stuff like Lisa Lashes, BK, Andy Farley, and Infected Mushroom are just a teeny tiny sampler of the shyte I'm into. I suppose Oakey is aight, a tad on the prog house side of things, but decent none the less. PVD is a much better trance producer tho. Same with Tiësto and Armin van Buuren. And ATB.

Been listening to everything else nobody else listens to. Actually, I've just been going through my collection of CDs and discovered I don't listen to them anymore. Probably cuz I've ripped 'em all to my comp. I haven't really been listening to too much of the lastest and the greatest, simply because it's not in my tastes. I'm a trance guy pretty much, especially the hardcore 150 BPM "I-think-I'm-having-a-heart-attack-and-an-orgasm-at-the-same-time" euphoria you hear at raves and whatnot. I'm not into that tribal crap, though, I like it hard, fast, and rough. If you catch my drift ;) ...
