The Old Skool Cult of Kefka, bitches!

[Dawezy]

..damnit bisho, now you has me thinking of titties. (Not that thats a bad thing, lol)

'tis a fair question though! the topic at hand.

One of which requires me to ponder, it really varies from console to console the whole nostalgia trip. Most other members of the Cult know me to be raised from the Atari/SEGA era of gaming so my views are somewhat bias in the text (ie, I think that Mario is a fat plumber who couldnt jump for a Ring if his life depended on it, where-as Sonic blazes off the screen so fast he trips over from having too many rings.) so I suppose thinking en-route of the topic I'd have to say the variety for its time.

Now that we have computers to emulate everything, its kinda "meh" alot of the time.. but all those years ago, it was *only* the console and none of the cheats, hacks, other random junk. Just your palms and thumbs abusing that 6-button joypad until you developed scars. (and the occasional article on the news about people using game controllers are mastubatory devices XD).. ahh it always gives me that fuzzy warm feeling ^_^

..then I forget how I did it, and have to start a new game.

>_<

You get ahold of Activision Anthology for the PS2, load up the game H.E.R.O and try get past the first stage without touching the moving holes. When I was a young lad, back in the late 80's with my Atari 2800.. I totally ace'd that game with no troubles at all and here I am about 10~15 years later and I cant traverse past the first level >_>


Oh, and welcome to our humble Cult, Sarah.
Dont think that our organization has flomped dead when there isnt a reply for several days in a row, its how we roll. Lazy and etc, you know the feeling ~ not wanting to put the effort into reaching for that remote control to turn on the TV, instead you fall asleep in the chair.

As I am extremely bored between classes right now and seem to be refusing to do the work I really should be doing, I'm going to start a really lame topic.

So just out of curiosity, Name a favourite console from each generation. Go back as far as you can remember.

First Generation - Pong? Coleco Telstar to be more specific
Second Generation - Intellivision
Third Generation - NES
Fourth Generation - Megadrive
Fifth Generation - Playstation (I want to say Saturn, but I can't)
Sixth Generation - PS2
Seventh Generation - Yet to be decided

Honestly, this generation is way too close to call for me so far. And although it's not a console, truth be told, generations 1 through 5 are actually PC.

So there, a topic, albeit overly obvious one. Post.

[Furore]

First Generation - Magnavox Odyssey. I spent a bit of time on Dogfight and Shooting Gallery.
Second Generation - Atari 5200. With Space Invaders, Defender, Mario Bros., Pac-man, Super Breakout, this baby was awesome.
Third Generation - NES. Marios, LoZ and a ton of other greats.
Fourth Generation - SNES. I think it's mainly due to my love of the NES, as well as all the great RPG titles that flew down to me. The megadrive is a close second.
Fifth Generation - PS1. While the N64 also has a lot of old favourites, it can't compare to the sheer number of classics released for the PSX, including a generation of FF games.
Sixth Generation - Playstation 2. Once again it's software library decimated the competition, even those with superior hardware.
Seventh Generation - Xbox 360. Now it seems to have the best library in terms of newer games, and is often cheaper than the PS3. It had it's kinks, but most seem to be ironed out and consoles sold after a certain date seem to hold up quite well.

Man I cant remember back to the first gen of stuff, let alone what I played.. lol. Thats some ultra old school right there.. o.o SO ze following list of gen's is what I was raised with, lets the biased posts begin! (and ofcourse on topic, these are my preffered consoles lol)

G1: My memory is worse then Arks when it goes back *that* far.
G2: Atari 2600
G3: SEGA Master System
G4: SEGA Genesis
G5: PSX/PSOne
G6: PS2
G7: lolwut?

But aye, pretty much all the Generations can be compacted and played just as well on the PC these days.. theres a fine difference that you can point out though and it just occured to me, as good as it is to be able to play all the old stuff on the new PC/Consoles it just *doesnt compare* to playing it on a bigass TV/Flatscreen then on the comp bashin a keyboard. Have to own up to that one yo~

First Generation - I don't remember that far back.

Second Generation - Intellivision. Dungeons and Dragons was my first taste of what an RPG is like, been hooked ever since. I spent many hours playing Night Stalker as well

Third Generation - NES. Mario and Mega Man nuff said.

Fourth Generation - SNES. Mario, Megaman, Link and finally Kefka! Woot Woot Woot.

Fifth Generation -PS1. Why did Aeris have to die? She stars in the best hentai!

Sixth Generation - Playstation 2. RPGs galore. N64 had a few but they were crap.

Seventh Generation - PS3 and 360. Can't decide which. I play both just as much. PS3 has good long RPGs and bluray, 360 I get frags online in COD4.

I have a sudden urge to start playing the Secret of Mana series again. Good ole emulators. Next I need to blow the dust of my Dreamcast and load up Grandia.

Haven't even touched a Wii. Block charaters is not my thing but the downloadable old skool games has started to pik my interest. Anyway one more month till Gears 2 and Resistance 2.
