Okay. Thought I'd share a bit of my gaming story here, basically for the sole pleasure of my protégé (Kuja
) and secondarily for all those out there who still believe we here trade banana rinds
.........fucking racist atavistic punks....................NAIJA'S GOT (GAMING) TALENT!!!
Started out with this Nintendo console my Mum bought sometime in 1994 IIRC..it came in this Street Fighter-branded box with Ken, Bison and E-Honda prominently displayed..before then me and my
big brother
were into board games..we did some D&D and Buck Rogers and even went as far as creating our very own game we aptly called 'Spur' as it was cowboy-themed..I had the honours of being the major creative force behind that drawing the LARGE map, forming the cannon fodder and bosses, scripting the plot. My bro basically was behind weighing the hit points of the xters against the damage dealt by their basic and special moves/weapons and all that. It was quite an experience you wish the STRESS of adulthood could accommodate
..we were into comics (I still am but it's all online now..those peddlers at Bode Thomas St are long gone
) and even did a bit ourselves (Silverglaze, Warriors Of The Earth, Hammer [Thor rip-off I admit
], Captain Blaze...) but that's a story for another campfire.
There're still embers of our Spur(TM)....lol..game on though..my bro's getting extra courses in Software Engineering after his Electrical-Electronics Eng. degree and he's like maybe we could get..you know..so if ever you see a certain Spurs title on your favourite retailer's shelves remember to grab it first then check the team behind it next.......
Anyway..
We've been mild to hardcore gamers ever since the mid '90s..my bro's HOOKED on gaming while I can exist for maybe two days at the most without some sort of gaming-induced dopamine high but it's been all sorts under the Ebenezer Scrooge nose of our killjoy dad (who even smashed my bro's GBA to smitereens one night
..well now my bro has ALL SORTS of emulators and roms on his laptop so up yours dad :devilfuc
..we've done the gaming and he's done the hating.
Ok, so..now I present to you my top 24 video games of recent times. Most of them I beat COMPLETELY
, the others are yet to be finished..blame it on the way of the Ivory Tower.
You won't see many spanking new/next gen titles..well for the last three years I've spent like 70% of the time here chasing some (cool) degree..there's a 360 and a Wii (my neighbour's) sitting at home but it's out of reach for yours truly..in the next few months there's the 3DS coming in and maybe a Slim (too many distractions??) so my true gaming'll be revived. Aigh here goes in no discernible order:
- 007 James Bond: Nightfire
- Super Mario 64 (got 115 out of 120 stars :respect:, bro swept ALL..legend. he. is.)
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
-
Kingdom Hearts
(only the alternate boss in Neverland, Sephiroth and synthesizing the Ultima Keyblade left..got ALL Trinities and 101 Dalmatians)
- Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
- Battle Realms
- MGS: Sons of Liberty
- MGS: Snake Eater
- Street Fighter EX 2+ (best xter: Ken Masters, best Meteor supercombo IMO)
- Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
- X-Men Legends
- Kingdom Hearts 2 (like 25% complete according to bro
)
- Obscure 2
- GOW
- GOW 2
- GOW: Chains of Olympus (incomplete)
- Final Fantasy Mobile (has to be the BEST java game on phones for me..so much GOODNESS packed into just over 1MB, dunno how they did that!)
- Street Fighter 4 (worst xter..Rufus..fugly jerk beefing my sprite!!!)
- FM '08 (for now thanks to my low grade video card
)
- Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
- RE: Outbreak (incomplete
)
- RE: Umbrella Chronicles
- RE 5 (incomplete but will beat it on the 'upgraded' RE 5 Gold pretty soon)
-
Resident Evil 4
(short of words........jizzzzzzzzzz)
Worthy mentions: ALL the Contra's up till the PS era (beaten by me and big bro), Ninja Ryukenden (spelling?)..bro says it's the precursor of the modern Ninja Gaiden,
Captain Tsubasa
, Zen Intergalactic Ninja, LOTR: Two Towers and ROTK, POP: Two Thrones, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Deception and Shaolin Monks, Halo, almost all Gameloft java/Symbian games, Resident Evil: Deadly Silence.
Phew!! The lists are in no way exhaustive but well instructive
..oh yeah that reminds me, I know y'all want proof, you just wait once I'm all geared up and ready to ball we'll do much gaming on the ether.........once I can pick the best bb solution here. Or at least videos or something..I'm out for the while........V.
