played several games here and there but not to the level as the ones listed. Notable console games would be Mega Man (NES) Super Techmo Bowl (NES), Gran Turismo (PS2), Madden, (ps1-3, wii) and GTA (ps2,3)
Super Tecmo Bowl, NHL '94 Hockey, and Fire Pro Wrestling are the best couch competitive multiplayer for consoles since the Atari 2600 was released.
There is an annual Tecmo Bowl tournament in Madison, Wiscounsin and NHL94Online.com is still going strong.
had no idea they still had tournaments for that! awesome :D
0. chocks away on the bbc whatever that shit was we had at school lol 1. f16 combat pilot, duck dash, rick dangerous, 007, that ball game, that pipe game and that other game and lemmings, on the atari. and this music maker. 2. sonic 1 on the mega drive 3. age of empires 1 demo and other demos on the pc which i could never figure out but spent days on 4. ff7 on the pc 5. sonic 3d on the mega drive. borrowed sonic & knuckles from a friend. rented an rpg but mom makes me return it after 3 days. im still mad 6. space hulk on the pc 7. soul blade on the psx 7a. got blown away by seeing 007 on the n64 at my friends house 8. ff7 on the psx 9. ff8 on the pc 10. the Discworld MUD 11. broodwar 12. ff6 emulated 13. oldschool korean mmo 14. oldschool korean mmo knights online 15. some other oldschool korean mmos 16. nextgen korean mmo 17. still on Discworld MUD 18. ff7 again 19. dota 20. random this-gen games that i delete after a few hours under the guise that i need to do work but instead re-install dota
my parents would never really let me buy/rent games so my selection was super limited. but once i got to uni i went nuts for those first-gen MMOs that you could just Explore. back when you lost xp when you died and danger was actually a thing that you could put yourself in and care about. of course i spent most of my time playing the MUD which will always be 100x more detailed than any "visual" game (although reading text translates well enough into visual imagination), and more emotionally impactful (dying in that game = you lose 12 hours of hard work and potentially items you've spent 20 or much more hours aquiring, and you can be killed by anyone so you need to always be alert, and if you die to npcs then you lose 1 of 8 lives which can only be rebought at massive cost). not to mention the world detail and character detail is unmatchable by any stretch of the imagination. yeah nothing will ever come close to that experience. and then Dota.
Will try to get it chronological but might miss the order a bit. Skipping at least a hundred games I can recall or look up since they aren't worth mentioning.

I've played lots of games in between, tons of PS2 and n64 games, and recently a lot of survival crafting games. I tried my hand at CoD4 for the PC in tournament but wasn't interested. Not listed also is my all-consuming Magic: The gathering addiction that was at one time supplemented by a warhammer fantasy addiction. I didn't really have the money for single player games.
My first consoles were gba and gamecube, so I pretty much just played the popular games for those for a long time. In middle school maplestory got popular so I started that, and then a friend on my first forum (a pokemon development site) sent me his wc3 and scbw files. I also read a bunch of visual novels, idk if they count.
Pokemon sapphire -> pokemon gba/ds/gamecube games -> sonic gamecube games -> ssbm -> net battle -> ssbb -> old fire emblem games-> maplestory -> age of mythology -> scbw -> shoddy battle-> wc3 -> new fire emblem games -> sc2 ->pokemon online -> lol -> sc2 -> pokemon showdown -> ssbm
Then hearthstone beta came out in October 2013 or so and I've been playing that and smash pretty exclusively since. and the occasional pokemon/ fire emblem game as they come out.
EPT
