Microsoft XBOX

[bobydigatl]

Alright...I'll admit, I'm still a kid at heart.

I want to start a thread on the XBOX because:

1. I want to see if some of my fellow testers also like their video games.
2. To get different opinions on XBOX games.

HALO is by far one of THE best games ever made. You haven't experienced the XBOX until you have linked 4 XBOX's together and played a 16 man free for all.

What games should I check out?

Lets the discussion begin! ...hopefully.

[Psycho99]

Don't have an XBox...i have a PS2...Grand Theft Auto III is the BEST!!! Awww....it's my Pirate coming out...

~~The Psycho

[bobydigatl]

I LOVE THAT GAME! A few people I know have PS2's.

I can't wait for it to come out on the XBOX. Have you beat the game yet? That's a game that will allow you to be as "psycho" as you want to be.

I heard it was pulled off the shelves in some places?

[Hells_Rectum]

I have been thinking about getting one. I have been hooked on DiabloII for a while now. Hell, I have even sold characters on eBay. I must admit, I still love my level 99 Amazon.:D I know, it sounds foolish for a 44 year old, but the whole gang I play with are all over 40.

Can't seem to find an Xbox around here. They get bought up before I can make it to the store.:( But, now, I spend all of my time doing this. I need to at least log all of my characters on so my equipment doesn't disappear. I would hate to lose my Windforce.:)

[Psycho99]

Haven't finished yet...but still tryin'...IT IS A MUST HAVE....ahhhhh..nuthin like goin PSYCHO on a few (FEW????) folks!!

~~The Psycho

[Psycho99]

I know, it sounds foolish for a 44 year old, but the whole gang I play with are all over 40.
Hell, don't feel old...i'll be 34 this year...and i'll play until the arthritis sets in!!

~~The Psycho

[bobydigatl]

Do you know the hooker trick psycho?

You pick up a hooker and park in a dark place. You will then see the car start to move up and down;). This increases your life points!

HR- I've been a quake area fan myself.

[Psycho99]

Hooker trick...what's that?????:gg

~~The Psycho

[so.calguy]

[bobydigatl]

Bandit...we are so alike, except I've got a 32 inch flat screen wega trinitron. Oh boy, I got it hooked up to my home theater system...it's incredible. PLAY HALO RIGHT NOW...I demand it. You'll love that game.

NFL Blitz 2002 is a fun game...definitely not for the football purist.
Madden 2002 is is great too.

If you havn't tried Dave Mira's BMX game, it's fun as hell too.

[bandit73]

I gave those to my nephew a few years ago, But since he has got a job he stepped up to Dreamcast and Playstation ! I should get them back and hook em up Theres a few game I still like to play with those old systems.
I still have a old Atari sitting around some where, Not sure which 1 it is :):):)

[Psycho99]

~~The Psycho Intellivision. oh my god! i was just an infant when that game came out. NBA Live rocks. get all the real players moves. along with some stellar graphics.

[bobydigatl]

There's a new 007 game out, I can't remember the exact title, but it has some of the best graphics I have ever seen. It's just incredible.

[so.calguy]

what are the xbox games averaging? about $50 a pop?

[wease]

Bought an Xbox the day it came out. I have been playing:
Halo (online at gamespy.com)
Munches Odessey (cool game, beat it)
Tony Hawk2x, and 3
SPIDERMAN,SPIDERMAN,SPIDERMAN excellent game.

All on my 53" widescreen Pioneer elite in 480P w/Dolby Digital 5.1

Sorry I had to throw that in.

Wease

[bobydigatl]

damn...I guess your TV's a bit bigger than mine...but it's still the best little TV you can get. 32" in almost perfect for any room in the house. I plan to get me a biggy some day. Do they have the microsoft gaming network ready to roll yet?

yeah, $50 is the running cost socal.

i bought one off ebay like a year ago for $25 just to have it, have barely played it.

i just got a pnasonic 3do from a friend im going to pick up some controlers and games for it soon. Maybe one day when the price comes down ill get a ps2, but as for the x box i already have a 3 computers i dont need one in a little box.

Get this game..I like this as much or better than halo..:D

[bobydigatl]

I've played it once...and only multiplayer with a friend after work. He had just got it and we gave it a test run. He played the 1st player mode and it looked very nice. The way the window glass shatters and then sheets downward once shot was really cool. Thanks for the tip pimp;)

[MercurE1]

There are about 4 multiplayer options for halo now, but gamespy is still the most popular even with all the ad's. but there is nothing like getting a guys flag and racing it back and scoring to find the other guy comming in the front door and put a shotgun to his chest and boom.... hes dead. Multiplayer in halo blows the campain game away seriously. I love playing all rockets. get 8 people in a small area with rockets... all you hear is dolby explosions everywhere. It is worth it completely, plus Project Gotham Racing, (not batman ----) but real, fast cars is pretty good.

Merc out

I did and I thought it was pretty good for what it was. I never bought the CD player for it. I also had the Atari Lynx, now that system was good.

Has anyone heard of the M. G. H. Magic Game Engine for the Genesis and Super NES?

[Executioner]

28 year old PS2 owner here. I've been a video game freak for most of my life. GTA3, GT3, MGS2, are the three games I got with my "make your own bundle" deal and I love all of them. Since then, I've gotten Tiger Woods PGA tour 2002 (great golf game), Jak and Daxter (great platform game for kids and adults alike), and WWF SmackDown JBI. Monday night I went out and got a 36" TV and now my 6 year old son and I fight more than ever for game time. LOL.

[BigDog4All]

Psycho99...you telling your age with Intellivision and Coleco....The Intellivision Baseball was the greatest...I lost weekends, not hours, playing that damn game.

But for now, I got the young Pup a setup that will envy the neighborhood.

Nintendo
PS1
PS2
Dreamcast
N64
XBox
with a small 50 to play it all on.

The game for me...

Sticky & House of the Dead.

Can't figure out why my fingers don't move as fast anymore.

[Sgt_Stedenko]

But for now, I got the young Pup a setup that will envy the neighborhood...

Will you please adopt me??? :gg

I used to have a Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo 64. Never went past that.

Lately I've been thinking about getting a new game console, but I don't know which one I should go after.

[CadNazi]

SEGA SATURN
NINTENDO 64
ON A 19"TV:R
I've got everything else on Emu. I bet I've got every Nintendo game ever created.

anxiously anticipating Never Winter Nights.

If you like sports game, action games, and first person shooters, go with the PS2 or XBOX.

If you like mario bros type games and RPG's, go with the game cube.

I believe all are around the same price nowadays, game are at least. The reason the XBOX may be more money still is that it comes with a huge (as far as gaming systems) hard drive built in. No need for a million memory cards. You can rip your own cd's and play them as a soundtrack while playing certain games! It does incorporate a memory card system as well though.

[Psycho99]

Psycho99...you telling your age with Intellivision and Coleco....

I know BigDog, i know....:cool:
You're right...the baseball was the best...i am also fond of Dungeons and Dragons for the Intellivision...

~~The Psycho

[BigDog4All]

If you really remember, when playing that Intellivision Baseball...if you heard the player catch the ball, then you were too slow.

Swish, swish, swish, swish....never a plunk.

And let's not forget Lock N Chase. A true fien game. I played those two with no fun intended...just a game junkie. And to think the Bud Sack was rolling then too. Nothing but the BUD sack, ball, and them little gold pieces.

From Friday to Monday...all weekend.

[bandit73]

Hey Fella's Check out this aution on Flea-Bay.
It already closed But WOW check out all the stuff !!!http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=1341836302

$12.200.00 WOW !! I'm Selling my stuff next LMAO

[Psycho99]

Man...that dude has a lot of equipment!

Hey Bigdog...there is a place online where you can play old Intellivision games...i'll try to find it and send it to you...

~~The Psycho

[BrainDamage]

You guys think your so hot with all of this video game stuff don't ya!

Well, let me tell you about my super powered PONG game.

This sucker hooks right up into the TV, and a small pixelized ball goes back and forth... you hit the ball with paddles controlled by a base unit with circular moving controllers on it!

And, what is really cool, is that if you play long enough, you can see the game on the TV even when you are not playing the game.

Can your games do that?!? :R

[Psycho99]

LMAO....."Burn in"....LOL:D :D :D :D

~~The Psycho

[bobydigatl]

lol...not exactly, but I do hear the theme song from HALO like 24 hours a day in my head. I think there might be something wrong??

[bandit73]

Wow BrainDamage, That's Like "State of the art Dude". LOL

Thats the reason I bought my GC ! I love the R.E. Series. BUT I don't think the GC game version is out in my area yet. But I will buy all the R.E. for GC as soon as they are released !!!

Yep,
Still have Genesis and Super Nintendo, also have the double pro fighter which is a copy machine for that works with both systems. It copies the rom off the cartridge to floppy disk then you play the games in the systems memory. I have about 300 games on disk.

Thinking about it, I was always stealing some service from something, whether it be cable, satellite or video games. Always a pirate I guess:)

Wease

[CoYoTe99]

I have owned:

Atari 2600
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Nintendo (replaced cart plug too many times)
Sega Genisis

Still own:

N64 + Z64 w/8gb Harddrive mod..
GB
GBA w/GbaTV & 256mBit/64mBit Flash Carts. (waiting for my backlight kit) I play this often..
PSX
(2)PS2 (only played twice.... SSX rocks)

Old Computers I have owned (and stupidaly thrown away)
Timex ?? (was small ran basic.. i remember hours of programming fun just to watch a ball bounce..)
Atari 5?? Didn't last long.. my screw driver want to see the inside
Commodore 64 + Geos ;-)
TRS 80 Color Computer w/64K Ram upgrade & Spectrum Anayler cart..
oh, and my favorite

4 yes 4 complete working Apple LISA's w/MAC XL upgrades.. and stupid me pitched them before eBay came about.... DUH!

And I had this when i lived at home.. my parents told me to pitch it or get a storage place..

[phoztech]

ok so i just bought an xbox and the halo game .. looks pretty cool .. i just need to get used to aiming wit hthe joystick instead of a pinpoint accurate mouse like in Unreal Tournament....

[bobydigatl]

Just like anything, practice makes perfect!:D

I'm pretty good with the sniper, course I've had lots O' practice...lol

Just wait till you get to drive the jeeps and the ghosts, that's always a challange to the HALO newbies. GL.

[Sgt_Stedenko]

Is it true that Halo is exclusive to the XBox?

[bobydigatl]

It's true. They'd make lots more money on a cross platform release but they want to give people a reason to buy the XBOX.

[phoztech]

one thing i do like is storing my own song list on the xbox ,, so i can listen to my own music while playing .. i search aroud for xbox hacks but have not found much... some where talking about how to get the hard drive password etc and being able to load linux on it for internet/lan play .. do you know anythign about this?

[bobydigatl]

I haven't personally opened up my XBOX yet but yes there are some who are trying things. Here's a link to an article about it, it has some links to websites devoted to the issue.

http://news.com.com/2100-1040-276907.html?legacy=cnet

Mods,

I think the URL is ok, but if it's not please edit.

[phoztech]

thanks for the link ,, those are some sites which i had not found before.

[bobydigatl]

lol...its babydigital! Look through my avatar poll in the TP and you'll see.
