Well then, I suppose he has a good excuse for not using Google mid-post, but surely he has a dictionary.

Yes, yes. Indeed, what young child doesn't carry a Webster's with him or her at all times? All joking aside, I'd be shocked if half of the children in school today have ever cracked open a dictionary outside of a grade school teacher passing one around the classroom in order to tell the students to refer to it if they had any spelling questions.

You know, I never played Star Tropics, is that game really as good as it's assumed to be? It sure looks nice in youtube vids.

I think it's slightly overrated, but it's still a great game.

You might want to try one of these threads, or since it has been about 3 or more years since last discussed you could probably start a new thread to get new opinions.

You could also keep it here and try to decipher what conversation is targeted to you. :/

Is there anything quite as awesome as injecting wartime propaganda into the "politics" of Super Mario Bros.? Who hasn't wondered what motivated Goombas to move to the left of the screen, and then to the right if they ran into a pipe or bricks?

Oh man, now I feel like a jerk for laughing at "I can count to potato"

What do you guys think about the old Bandai Nes game dinowars (might be spelled wrong)?

I always liked it and have fond memories of it. You see, my local video store never had a copy, but whenever I was out of town and spent a few day at my Grandmas, well, her video store had a copy and so I would always rent it there.

I had a blast with the game and I liked the two separate gameplay styles. Not to mention how can any kid resist controlling an awesome robot dinosaur of destruction?

Discuss, have fun and go nuts!!!

Maybe I'm not vary good at this, "dinowars (might be spelled wrong)" is easy but now I'm rethinking "Star Tropics".

How did I get on the poll?
I am a 6 foot game boy.

[treismac]

It looks like at least 6'7" to me, but whatever.

[JoshTheNESNerd]

What's a 6 ft Game Boy?

it's an inside joke between a friend & I he thinks the 1st system ever is the gameboy and its 6ft by 3ft in other words i wanted to see how stupid people are (like that dumbass,for this purpose lets call him James) james may be a gamer but he doesn't know the first thing about videogames he thinks videogames and any thing that is to do with electricity works by magic i ask him "how does an mp3 player get its electricity" he says "whats electricity an mp3 player works with magic"

[JoshTheNESNerd]

obviously 4 out of 7 people are dumb if you get this poll right i will give you "glory points" and you could use that for something i haven't thought of yet

their is actually a story behind that it started like this...the goomba's were @ peace w/ the toadstools because of a treaty it basically said "the toadstools will give the goombas food but only if they remain allies in a state of war" so bowser l8er invaded the mushroom kingdom bought 8 castles & then kidnapped peach soon the toadstools ran out of food & the goombas betrayed the toadstools fighting alongside bowser. which we then go to the mario bros arcade mario & luigi slipped and fell into a pipe found themselves i the mushroom kingdom imidiatly i formed of what happened in the kingdom thus then saving the princess in every mario then on

So three are right... but Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was a game for the PlayStation not a system.

Since this is a thread about not using google, I have to ask. Where can I buy this goomba propaganda poster?

This thread went from unintentionally hilarious to downright sad.

Kmart version of the Sizzler at best. This guy is typing fully clothed without a towel over his lap.

If it is the Sizz, he's done better work.
