Anyone ever play the nintendo video game Zelda and finish all of the quests.Just wondering.My son and I use to play it some years back and were able to finally beat it.Told you it was weird.A colossal waste of time ,but it was fun.

Re: Here's a weird question

Never did. I bought an old Atari a few months back because I was remembering how cool the games were. Was I ever wrong. Those games sucked big time. Got the daughter ANOTHER PS2 this year. I bought the Atari Anthology because I thought it would be cool. Wrong again, its a hoover. I would like to get a good Nintendo and the Legand of Zelda though, I did like that game.

My kids and I beat them. If memory serves, we have 2 Zelda games... Ocrina of Time and something to do with masks?<br /><br />Took a heck of a long time to beat it though.<br /><br /><br />H.

My kids play this stuff. The last time I fooled<br />with a game, I was trying to beat Myst and it <br />was a brand new game.

Its Grand Tourismo for me, and GT 2. I can beat most anyone except the real hard cores. Im out of practice now though. Been through a couple of the Tomb Raider games also but I used the Cheats.

Ever play the first Super Mario Bro's on a 52" widescreen. Mario and luigi are about 3" tall and jumping around the screen. <br /><br />Gotta love it. IMO, after playing the graphically enhanced PS2 and XBOX games for a while, you have to go back to your roots!!! 16 bit colors and digitized sound baby.<br /><br />Sean

Yep, Nintendo is all I play anymore. I guess I'm just simple minded. I grew up with games that were just side to side playing, zelda, excite bike, mario bros., contra, tetris, duck hunt, ect. did beat zelda though, takes forever

LD...<br />I NEVER use cheats!!<br /><br />Playing on-line you run into some who do. I Immediately dump out of a game if I think someone is running a modded box. Not only is it "cheating", it's just not fun. <br /><br />One humbling note... using the headset you soon realize that your butt is being walloped by some 10-12 yr old kids! :eek:

I never did play Zelda,but did beat Mario bros 1,2,super Mario,and the oshie one.Killer instinct was another good one.The kids have super Nintendo,play-station 1 and 2,and gamecube.I play when I get a chance(nothing like a 8 year old whooping up on you),but allot of the new games move way to fast for me.Has anybody beat Vice city?I've had it for a couple of years and pretty much have given up on it.

Re: Here's a weird question

I once played the same game of PepperII on Calecovision (sp?) for about 12 hours straight. I rolled the score over several times (it only went to 999,999.) <br /><br />Oh, and I did beat Zelda way back when. Man that did take forever! I also beat Mike Tyson on Tyson's punch out. That probably took just as long!

Re: Here's a weird question

For all you people remembering the good 'ole days of Nintendo and such, there are programs online called emulators that mimic the actual video game systems. I have over 700 nintendo games that I can play on my PC!! As a matter of fact, I just finished beating Zelda 2-3 days ago! You can also get these emulators for Super Nintendo, N64, Sega Genesis, Neo Geo games, PS1, Dreamcast, Atari, etc. PS2 and Xbox are the only 2 game systems that I know of that you can't emulate very well, but give it time and they'll be added to the list. If anyone wants more info about these games, email me mrbscott@mchsi.com.
