3. I was a GameCuber years ago.

I don't know that I tried many obscure games, but I did enjoy Metroid Prime, All Star Baseball 2002, Burnout, and PofP, Sands of Time.

4. Several of them - MAME. Although my kids are all better at them than I am.

To be fair, I don't play very often and can still clean up on games like Berzerk (sp?), Centepede (sp?), Dig Dug, Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man, and others from that era. I'm a little pissed that I can't find Frenzy - I could run that one so far into the upper levels it would switch to EVERY surface was reflecting, including the ones that you can shoot through on lower levels. The first video game I remember was "Night Rider", a simple B&W game where the only graphics were white posts marking the sides of the road that came at you, including curves. It had a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, and I think a 4-speed shift lever. I quickly learned the sequence and just ruled on that game.



My real love was a pinball machine called "Flash". I could put one quarter in it when I arrived at the arcade (called "The Boardwalk") and play for as long as I wanted on that quarter. I nearly always left it with a dozen or so credits waiting for the next person.

5. Thanks to DOSBox and other forms of emulation

The old D&D "Gold Box Engine" computer games
Wasteland (Spiritual Predecessor of Fallout)
Hell, the first two Fallouts and Tactics themselves
X-Wing/TIE Fighter series
The Final Fantasies that weren't released in the US officially until way later.

And now that I've gotten a Sega Genesis again...
