Video Game Chat Topic: NICK. STOP HOARDING GAMES YOU OLD BAG!

Didn't at least a few of those Ms. Pac-Man / Galaga machines also have Pac-Man hidden in them? That's what I heard, at least.

I'm very grateful to Pac-Man. I once read a web document that explained how the ghosts' movement worked, including their pathfinding, which I suspect I'll be using as a base for when I start having to make custom pathfinding for my own games. I've already used a version of it for enemy pathfinding for one of my titles in progress.

They're the separate Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga boards, it isn't the double cabinet one that you speak of.

Oh. ...Actually, I've never seen a standalone Galaga game, just one part of the double-cabinet.

Never seen one?

I haven't, really. I'm not denying they existed, I've just never seen one in person.

Since arcades are sadly extinct, seeing one in person isn't exactly a common occurrence.

Okay, let's liven this topic up a tad.. first video game ya'll ever played.

Mine was Ninja Gaiden II for NES.

Either Super Mario Bros. 2 or Metroid for NES.

I think mine was Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt.

Combat Atari 2600

Pong, in the arcade.

Computer Space, 1972 in an arcade in Memphis.

Pong.

My first game? I want to say it was Joust for the 7800.

Super Mario World was the first game I ever owned but I may have played a few beforehand.

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.

If the many, many years of weed haven't destroyed too much of my memory.. I'd like to say it was most likely Galaxian as the first game I ever played, in the arcade.

Super Mario Bros. 3 for NES.

Believe it was Donkey Kong for the Colecovision.

So I learned something today that made one game make a whole lot more sense.

You're silly, Pikmin never made sense.

I don't get it.

Watch a video of some Pikmin gameplay, specifically when they attack an enemy.

Seen it played and your theory still doesn't line up. Sorry..

Quick guys lets flood the topic so we don't have to look at Pikmin!!

Ahem but on a serious note, I'd rather be castrated by prison inmates from the deep south than play that overrated series.
