Take a game to the grave...

[DeputyMoniker]

Now you've done it.
In celebration of that perfect game of whatever...you leap to your feet and give joy to the gaming angels in heaven.
After 8 hours of sitting on your backside, the sudden movement gave tear to the vital organs behind your fatty ribs.
In your final spat of nonsense, your gaming buddy manages to understand only a few words pouring from your bubblin' lips.
"Bury me with my cart, old friend. Bury me with my cart."
In your trademark "half-assing" you fail to tell your old friend what cart you were talking about.
Share with us the cart you wish to be buried with.
Share...before it's too late.
You get one choice...and you should consider yourself lucky for getting that.
Imagine what it was like 50 years ago...being burried with a Tudor Electric Football or a Parcheesi board tucked in your jacket. Rest in peace my butt.

Me?
Burgertime : Intellivision.
Assuming I'd be able to PLAY the game, it would bring back a lot of memories of when I was a kid playing with my parents. We spent a lot of time listening to music and playing Burgertime as a family. Thats one of my best memories. It's also a great game!

[Xantan the Foul]

Hmm.... Final Fantasy 4.

[jdc]

HAHAHA......GREAT thread!!!

My cart of choice would be World Driver Championship for the N64. It's the N64's answer to Turismo.

[stevec1636]

Legend of Zelda for the Nes, still one of the best games ever made, period.

Now only if they have a Nes and a TV in hell, because everyone knows thats where i am going to wind up. LOL

I don't see what's so funny about that, btw :eek 2:

Cool thread, but I don't know what game I'd take.

[boatofcar]

Solitaire for Windows 3.11

Solitaire for Windows 3.11



Haha! Solitaire...
I take it you're the "cup's half full" kinda guy?

[Arcturius]

Maybe buy up a load of the cheap common carts and have then custom build a coffin for you the ultimate retro-gamer send off }:)

[DeputyMoniker]

Just bury me in an MVS 6-slot! LOL

[Dire 51]

Castlevania here.

[Iron Draggon]

Master of Monsters for Genesis!

[scooterb23]

Baseball Stars for the NES.


Just had a thought...


Now this might be interesting...I wonder if they can place a monitor inside a headstone...and then implant two DDR pads on the ground, so that if people want to visit my grave they can play a little DDR while they are there.

I kind of like the idea of folks dancing on my grave :)

[Cmosfm]

I was gonna have a coffin custom made with my complete NES game collection (when I complete it)....

and inside, I will be holding a Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cart. That's all, because it owns all others.

[Kroogah]

Resident Evil, so I'll have instructions for what to do when I come back as a zombie.

This post dedicated to Sniderman

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Megaman NES

[shvnsth]

100th post!

either counter-strike for pc (which would last 2 eternities) or legend of zelda-oot for n64

[Raccoon Lad]

Something rare. That way people would always be saying to themselves "Just gotta dig up the corpse to complete the collection.".

[eightbitonline]

bionic mutha-f#ckin' commando.

[NintendoMan]

Simple. SMB 3 for NES.

[boatofcar]

Something rare. That way people would always be saying to themselves "Just gotta dig up the corpse to complete the collection.".

You win LOL

[Trevor Belmont]

Gameplay wise: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. My favorite game of all time.

Collector wise: Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. While not exactly that rare, just expensive, this is my holy grail for now.

[GobopopRevisited]

Heaven? The Wisdom Tree NES collection...
Hell? Quake III Gold...

[Sotenga]

Castle-freaking-Vania Three. I always said that I'd die with that cart, and I stand by it.

[Crush Crawfish]

Chrono Trigger, most definitely. The weird thing is that I've actually thought about this before... :/

[Crush Crawfish]

Aaack. Sorry about the double post!!

[Lady Jaye]

My Defender Entex handheld. Yes, I'm weird that way... :D

[Sotenga]

The weird thing is that I've actually thought about this before... :/

Ditto here, Crush. I've been thinking about my choice for about a year now, as morbid as that sounds. Heh...

[Cryomancer]

Dunno, probably Space Harrier. (hey, i could cheat and take shenmue....)

But if I was smart I'd take a simple-yet-you-can-play-forever handheld game like pokemon or cardfighters.

[RetroYoungen]

The weird thing is that I've actually thought about this before... :/

Ditto here, Crush. I've been thinking about my choice for about a year now, as morbid as that sounds. Heh...

Same here, though not in too much detail... I've been too consumed with figuring out what my last meal should be.

I think I'd ask for Oekaki Puzzle for my NGPC, along with as many AAs as can fit in my casket. Chances are it'll take me generations upon generations of playing to get all 200 puzzles figured out.

But this is kind of funny to me, seeing as how I'd like to be cremated. LOL

[Ascending Wordsmith]

Considering the amount of times I died in Oregon Trail for the Apple II, I'd find it completely fitting to be buried with it.

Who can forget the countless hours of shooting wildlife as it scurried across the screen?

http://archive.gamespy.com/top10/march03/genres/04.gif

Hopefully my death isn't one featured on the game. Who wants to die of dysentery? @_@

[frodo2968]

Maybe Tetris. I love that game :P.

Or maybe the GBA SP version of Donkey Kong Country, so I could play the game as well as the Jungle Beat minigame. So fun. And how about rigging up a solar panel on the headstone to provide power for the GBA SP? :D

EDIT: I forgot about Tekken 3. Mmmmm. I have an idea: how about installing a chute to load games from the headstone directly into various systems that could be buried with me. Then my family can change games every month or so. ;)

[AlexKidd]

Castlevania:symphony of the night or maybe Final Fantasy 6,both fine games.However I think I'd go nuts with only 1 game no matter how good it is.

[Sanriostar]

Now only if they have a Nes and a TV in hell, because everyone knows thats where i am going to wind up. LOL

Naw, it'll be a RCA Studio II.

As for a game to be buried with, I plan on being cremated, and I'd much rather have a wake with lotsa beer, Polish Keilbasa, and all my systems hooked up for play. Keep my urn in the center of the room.

[stevec1636]

Cool thread, but I don't know what game I'd take.

it's funny because it's true, plus hell would be more fun anyway :)

[DeputyMoniker]

LOL
Maybe I should have asked "What cart do you want your ashes stored in?"

[DeputyMoniker]

It's been about 6 months and weve seen a lot of new gamers since I started this thread. I'd be interested in hearing what the rest of you have to say. If you've already posted and have since changed your mind, speak up. Keep in mind that you'll be dead...so you don't get to play the game. lol.

[Mianrtcv]

I'm taking Lunar, can't decide SS Story or Eternal Blue or for that matter PS or Sega cd?

[TheBaron]

I'd take my Mario Bros / Duck Hunt cart... I think it would be cool to be buried with my first video game. Well not cool, sorta weird, but you know

[Jumpman Jr.]

Super Mario Bros.
'One' of my favorite games. I could play it for hours and hours. Ultimately, it is the game that got be back into video games as well.

[cyberfluxor]

Solitaire for Windows 3.11

If they have a multi-player Solitaire in the afterlife, maybe we'll compete. But truthfully it would be Mario All*Stars + Mario World so I could play any of the Mario games I want. With that said, some may want to take those retro GC and PSone redux CDs with them to play 20+ atari or activision games.

[Truffle]

I think I may have my ashes spread on my favorite console.
Wouldnt it be cool to haunt a Top-loader NES?

I would state in my will the console had to stay in the family, and not get tossed out or something! @_@

( I read a story about a little boy who was dying of cancer, and he loved the Pirates of the Carribean ship ride at Disney Land. His last wish was to have his ashes spread on its deck. Even though Disney said no, his mom did it anyway. People claim to have seen a little boys ghost at the front of the ship late at night. :) )

[sabre2922]

My original Legend of Zelda gold NES cart by faaaar

Others I would mumble about on my death bed: the Silent Hill series 1-4 and Shenmue Dreamcast

[Retsudo]

Tekken 5 or Tag or Ace Combat 2 or 4.

[alec006]

The first game i ever played Sonic the Hedgehog 2,plus the Sega Genesis console too. If they dint barry me with it i would be haunting someone forever LOL

[mezzanine]

NiGHTS Into Dreams... for the Saturn. Seems appropriate :angel:

[MrSmiley381]

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. Solely because figuring out infinites with 56 characters would take a long damn time. Toss in difficulty settings and multiplayer and I should be good. Can Abyss be playable in my version?

[segarocks30]

I would be buried with Streets Of Rage 2 my favorite game.

[njiska]

Bury me with Contra. If there's an afterlife i damn well want to spend it killing Red Falcon.

And in the even that all copies of Contra get destoried in some bizare even, say the second coming of Jesus or something fucked up like that, then bury me with Killer 7.

[Adrastos15]

well, i just had to ask my wife on this matter. She says i would love to take conker's bad fur day with me. You know what i think shes right.

[The Manimal]

Mega Man 3 (NES) or Donkey Kong (2600)

though i'd rather be buried tradionally, if i were to be.

[Mattiekrome]

LOL Good thread!

I would have to go with NES Super Mario Bros, because thats when I caught the video game bug :D

[Thetik]

hmm..either zelda OOT or zelda LTTP. You can never get bored of that amazing soundtrack for OOT. So lets all give a WOOT WOOT for OOT OOT!

[Whiskers the Wonder Cat]

Hmmmm.

Felix the Cat for the NES. The first game I've ever played.

[DeputyMoniker]

A year has gone by since our last thought of this thread. What is your game? Let your wish be read.

[Sailorneorune]

Tetris on the Game Boy. It keeps me from dying of boredom at work, so I wonder how well it would fare when I'm dead AND bored? ^^;

Runner-up: Metroid Prime Pinball. I don't know why, but I love it.

[DeputyMoniker]

Runner-up: Metroid Prime Pinball. I don't know why, but I love it.

Those pinball games can be a lot of fun. I can spend an hour or so playing Devils Crush if I get started on it.

[m117]

Give me street fighter II for SNES.

(my ghost will haunt the night howling SHOOOOoooo-RYU-KEN!)

[Arasoi]

I would have my Castlevania collection made into a coffin just like Dracula's in the intro movie of Rondo, and be buried with my hands crossed over my perfect copy of Castlevania for the Amiga.

[Andred]

Hmmm... I like that someone ressurected this old thread (no pun intended). It's an interesting one. A kind of "favorite game" thread with a twist of rigor mortis. Nice.

Mine's gotta be Tetris for the NES. It's my favorite version of the game and I have some fond memories of it involving my parents.

[s1lence]

Custer's Revenge

[Ed Oscuro]

So many good games going to waste.

Me? I'd say "oh fuck, just cremate me."

[Fighter17]

I'll die with plently of arcade PCBs with me.

[DigitalSpace]

Super Metroid.

I'm planning to get cremated, though. Come to think of it, having my ashes stored in a toaster NES shell (from a unit that can't be repaired) would be kinda cool. I should seriously look into that.

On another note, I'm also going to make sure the hearse is a little late to the funeral. I have been known to say I'll be late to my own funeral, after all. :P

[Ed Oscuro]

Wait, I meant to say I WOULD TAKE A HD-DVD DRIVE TO THE GRAVE WITH ME

AS PROOF IT EXISTED

[Dreamscape]

Terranigma

[Synergy]

Comical Answer: Boong-Ga Boong-Ga

http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/naughty02.htm

Serious Answer: Final Fantasy II (IV)

[VACRMH]

Well, Lunar for Sega CD means the most to me, But if I could keep playing games 6 feet under...

Puzzle Fighter plz.

[outsider]

Perfect Dark (N64)

[Bloodreign]

Yie Ar Kung Fu, so I can spend an eternity trying to beat Tonfun, just to get to the last guy Blues, then watch it all loop after Blues. Darn Konami and their looping ways.

[dubiouscubanx]

First Choice: Super Dodgeball for the NES
Second Choice: Tetris for Game Boy
Third Choice: A Boy and His Blob for the NES

When I die, I want to be buried in a huge NES console, and my coffin would be shaped like a cart. In order to bury me, I'd have to be pushed into the NES, then pushed down, and the lid on the NES would close.

[DeputyMoniker]

Get a Game Genie in there. Unlimited blessings.

[atomicthumbs]

bionic mutha-f#ckin' commando.

No! I'M takin' Bionic Commando to the grave! And if you happen to die before me, I'm diggin' up your casket and taking the cart!


I could just be buried with my own, but I'm feeling a bit sinister.

[bangtango]

I'd say Super Mario All Stars but I don't like the subtle differences between those versions and the original NES games. I guess I'll have to say either Super Mario Bros 1 or 2 on NES.

[Hwj_Chim]

Vampire Savior for the Sega Saturn.
