| 2478 | Article | Vaporman87 | You've really brought back to mind all the wonderful things we miss about an arcade in the 80's and 90's in great and loving detail. It's funny how, in a time before the internet and worldwide connectivity, your experience in one arcade will be the same in so many ways in another hundreds of miles away. Like the routine of plopping down your quarter for "next". Such things transcended distance and social environment differences. And, each felt like it's own little "club". As though there was a camaraderie that was implied any time you crossed the threshold onto that gaudy carpeted floor. Many places that house arcades now are simply dens of rip-offery. Insert a dollar to play a game that is rigged to prevent you from winning that Nintendo DS calling out to you from behind the glass. In Gatlinburg, Tennessee I saw a glimmer of hope. An arcade with a machine that combined the greatness of the past with the redemption craze of today. A giant Pac Man game that played like the classic, but was recrafted to make the goal winning as many tickets as you could. The more points, the more tickets. If they could do this with several hundred more classic titles, an whole new arcade concept could be invented. But so far that is the only title I've seen to incorporate that idea. | The Mall Arcade | Aug 07, 2015 |  |
| 2477 | Article | kstrom22 | I'm so glad to see my own experiences were shared by others from different times and places. And so grateful at the response to my own little slice of history. Now I live in Arizona: no real "trees" around here for tree-houses, but I'm too lazy to build one anyway. There is a new playground right across the street; it has a tower, tunnels, a true modern castle. Someday, if I have kids, they'll be the kings and queens. | Castles of Yesteryear | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2476 | Article | kstrom22 | This is a classic conundrum, while I can't in good conscience these days condone cheating, it does break the child's heart within me that our current crop of kids weren't raised on the classic cheat games like Candy Land. I heard they introduced a spinner! Truly the end of a cheat-era. | Cheatin' | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2475 | Article | kstrom22 | heh "dig," I get it... Thank you. My brother and I also used to road over abandoned and overgrown areas of my hometown. Now that I'm a history teacher I can go on a treasure hunt with a whole new generation, it's great! One of my students actually asked me if I'd ever heard of "The Goonies!" | Digging for Treasure | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2474 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @massreality Wow, that's a great twist. Your Mom became the martial arts master. That's so cool. | The Karate Class Kid | Aug 07, 2015 | |
| 2473 | Article | onipar | Good review! I've only recently purchased a Gamecube, and while I've enjoyed some games, I have to say, the inability to change the inverted axis for games like this one and Luigi's Mansion ruins the games for me. It's my own damn fault for not being able to adapt, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it, and so end up having to stop playing those games. Which of course is the pits. | Article Classic: Super Mario Sunshine Review | Aug 06, 2015 | |
| 2472 | Article | Benjanime | with a virtual console release they'd have to force using the gamecube controller. when shooting water there were two different uses with the shoulder button, holding it slightly would let mario run around while shooting water, while completely holding the button down would have mario shooting water while standing in place and aiming. | Article Classic: Super Mario Sunshine Review | Aug 06, 2015 | |
| 2471 | Article | massreality | I bought Super Mario Sunshine and played maybe five minutes of it. I regret not spending the time to truly see what the game brought to the table. I wish they'd released a Virtual Console version of it. I'd love to give it another go. I also have to second Benjamime with the Mario Galaxy recommendations. Man, those games are amazing. They never get old. | Article Classic: Super Mario Sunshine Review | Aug 06, 2015 | |
| 2470 | Article | massreality | Beavis and Butthead and Singled Out defined my pre-teen years. Man, do I miss that time. I also have some extreme nostalgia for MTV Spring Break Out. I looked forward to that every single year. | MTV: The 90's | Aug 06, 2015 | |
| 2469 | Article | massreality | The Karate Kid and JCVD inspired me at a very young age to take up martial arts. I started in Tae Kwon Do and really loved it. My mom decided to start taking alongside me since she had to sit through the classes anyway. It sort of became an obsession for her, and we started going every single night until I finally just refused to go anymore. She ended up getting a job with the school and fifteen years later, she opened up her own school that she still operates to this day. As an adult, I took Krav Maga for a couple years, but after a few injuries I decided it truly wasn't worth it. It's a lot cheaper and easier to go take a conceal carry class and buy a cheap handgun. :) | The Karate Class Kid | Aug 06, 2015 | |
