man how are you still playing that one? that game is probably like 20 years old now lol, I remember my brother as a teenager playing LSL3 I think it was, and he thought he was a huge rebel playing it under my mom's nose, it was probably a big deal for us then, but now as an adult, is pretty tame lol, still funny as hell to play.

I still have a running Commodore 64

I am completely jealous, loved my commodore 64 as well as the Vic20 I used to have running. pain in the arse to flip the tape part way through the game, but fun as hell.

I also play spy hunter, space taxi, Heist,

also Summer Games and Raid on Bungling Bay

had Summer Games II and also Wintergames, both were hours of enjoyment, actually think I had the 4 game set, those two I mentioned, plus World Games and California Games.

Cali games were awesome as was skate or die and paper boy.

I haven't played any of the series to be honest, last similar game (and I use the term loosely) I have played is Rainbox 6 on the N64, always enjoyed those ones, I can only imagine the Call of Duty games are way better.

Those two games are way different, you shouldn't expect Black Ops to be like that, if you do get it, cause you'll be disappointed. Rainbow 6 is way more strategy based. Requires you to set up a plan, and then execute. COD series is more run and gun. It's a lot of fun at times, but more arcade-like. There are more 'simulation' modes, like Hardcore modes, and there are more strategy based modes also, like Search and Destroy (lesser extent Demolition), where playing with a team is fun, and having a plan, makes things easier. I've only started playing the game online with (actual) friends, and that's pretty cool on in it's own right.

If I can answer any questions for you, ask away or PM me if you'd like.

definitely nothing wrong with run and gun either, I do like strategy games, but there are sometimes, I just want to blow Dung up lol, am hoping when I get my work bonus, after house repairs are done, it may be in the budget my better half says lol. the pain of trying to get a house ready for sale lol.

So good...so many memories.

EB Games (now GameStop) just had a sale for COD Black Ops for $45. That's when I picked it up. I think Regular price is $64.99, but Costco.ca has it for $59.99. And there is a map pack coming out on March 3rd, which I believe adds 5 maps for $15. I would imagine you could get a used copy at Blockbuster or Gamestop for $40 though.

think I may go the gamestop route, unless walmart has it cheap, but still prefer game stop, just used up my credit there mind you though to get the latest sims 3 expansion pack for my wife, but it keeps her happy and allows me to console game for hours without any racket sometimes lol. worthy investment.

How about Mouse hunt or whatever it was called on Vic20?

complete list of vic 20 games

GORF!!!!

Heh heh.

My favourite Vic20 game.

I don't see Snackman on there... Pac-Man rip-off. Another classic.

I didn't even remember half of these to be honest.

DirtyDave wrote:I also play spy hunter, space taxi, Heist,

There are some old ones...unless I'm wrong those are C64 games (at least Space Taxi was).
My favorites were M.U.L.E. Sword of Fargoal and the ultimate baseball simulator (can't remember the name). Wow that takes me back. My buddies and I had a book with every baseball stat for every player going back to the early 1900's and we'd draft players put them into the sim and then play games against each other.

Those were good times.

Favourite Atari game was Kaboom followed closely by Adventure.

Favourite Commodore 64 game? Didn't really have one.

I remember wasting countless hours of my youth on Qbert, the games package (Summer 1&2, Winter, World, and California), plus as well Test Drive, which has definitely come a long way since the Commodore 64
