Let’s all be honest with each other here. Wolfenstein 3-D is the first FSP that you can remember. In all honesty though, Doom is the first one that mattered. Where would all other FPS’s be with out the tracks that this game laid down first? Think of all the little things that Doom did, that just about every other first person shooter has copied since. Granted not the one that started it all, but definitely the one that everyone cares the most about.

There is a short list of games from my childhood that i vividly remember almost everything about. Super Mario Brothers, Goonies II, Mega Man II, and Contra. I remember where every enemy is, what weapons are pop up where, just about anything from that game. That is not only a testament to how much of a geek i am but also to how much fun this game is

When i think back over (almost literally) a lifetime of games i have played, there are only a certain select few that i have followed religiously. Somewhere in the top three of those few games sits, the Metal Gear series.

An evil clown is on the loose. He is trying to run down other cars on the road in his ice-cream truck, his head is on fire and he is shooting out ice-cream cone missiles. No it isn’t the plot to some failed attempt by the Insane Clown Posse to break into NASCAR… its just part of the fun of Twisted Metal.

There will come a day, probably soon, where kids growing up will have no idea what being in an Arcade was like. It is probably hard for most adults my age, and a little older, to imagine such a thing, but sadly, it is true.

Back in the mid to late 80′s i owned just about every major release on the original NES. I would regularly play an assortment of titles when i had the chance, after school. There were however a select group of cartridges that always seemed to make their way back into the system. One of those being Punch Out.
