See, my parents don't believe in video games, so since I was never allowed any type console to play any video games on, I have no idea what any of these games are...the only time I got to play video games was when i was a small child and went to various baby-sitters...and since this was a time period spanning the 80's and early 90's the games are not exactly new...

My Top Five Video Games

Duck Hunter for Nintento (I loved the little orange gun)
Tennis Pro for Intelivison (An Atari like system, but the controlers looked more like tv remotes, with paper inserts to change the button comands)
Mario Brothers (my neighbor always made me be Luigi...*tear)
Pac Man (the corner bar had this in a large arcade game, so this was my first taste of video games)
Frogger...whoo hoo...

Yup, I know, I am lame...what are you going to do?

My number one game is : Deus Ex
normally I get quite bored with games after playing them a while, but with Deus Ex I can never ever get bored, it's so different everytime you play it. you can do all guns-blazing, or you can choose to kill as little as possible. so many options to get around obstacles. Just great. And a fantastic storyline of course!

I played Diablo too, but I stopped playing, why I actually don't know anymore : ) !

Diablo II is a really good game, especially if you play it with friends. Me and my friends had a guild, and it was really fun. Everytime I was online, i saw about 3 of my friends online, so we all vanquised evil together. Ive put it away, because it comes in fads, i get hooked on it for a long time, then i put it away for a long time and so on...

One N64 game i like is Conquers Bad Fur Day. It actually has a bad theme, and its like a rated-R movie video game, but its is sooo funny. There is a matrix, indiana jones and more movie parodies in the game. My friend has it, and every time i play it, i laugh my head off. Its a really funny game, but i dont think its reccomended under 18 years (haha, i would fit in that catagory...)
