    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    I remember a few different games over a few consoles...

    Paper Boy (impossible!) Dizzy... and some bike racing game for the commodore 64... took 10 minutes to load up a tape for a game... seems like an eternity as a 7/8 year old.....

    Golden Axe, Streets of rage I and II, and the fifa's for the meagdrive...

    Then the big ones for me.... some of my favourite games/series.... Shogun and Championship manager 97/98... Shogun my first real experience in online play... taking huge armys up against real people in control of thier huge armys... the tactics needed to outwit your opponent and the team tactics, my schooling and social life took a back burner to this game for a while... and then championship manager was just hours of looking for the next big south american talent, or that little eastern european gem that was going to save your season... what a game!
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I would be happy if I could play some of those games.

    The first Red Alert is another older game of which I have fond memories. Although technically I wasn't a kid anymore by the time I started playing it (I'd turned 18 several months beforehand), it was one of the first titles I played that really got me into computer games.

    It must have been Red Alert. All I remember that the campaign was just horrendously hard. One allied mission come to mind where you have a time limit to take out a heavily fortified Soviet base that literally covered 3/4 of the map. Never got past that mission....

    Ugh. I couldn't stand the last Soviet mission where you have to attack & destroy Allied HQ. I don't think I ever did find out the full extent of that bloody minefield....
