    Re: What videogames did you play growing up?

    Atari: Adventure, Indiana Jones, Pitfall, Haunted House, Superman, Starpath Supercharger (awesome expansion device that played games on cassette: Dragonstomper, Escape from the Mindmaster)
    Colecovision: Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, etc.

    ---then I was out of the scene for about 15 years :smt033

    Then it was Resident Evil (all of 'em), Crash Bandicoot (ha remember that!), Skullmonkeys, Gex, Doom, Mario 64, Goldeneye, Wipeout 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Starfox 64. Bunch of weird-ass games on Dreamcast. Gamecube period was mainly a Metroid-fest.

    Still have a thing for FPS and survival horror. Just played through Dead Space 2, pretty sweet. All PC though, no longer own a console. Emulation FTW :wav:
    '98 Outback Limited -- currently powered by CCR EJ22
    '95 Civic VX hypermiler -- in rehab
