A while back some of my acquaintances and I played games on Nintendo. To my amazement, it was incredibly fun. Plus, it brought back all those good memories of playing Bubble and Bobble, Dig Dug, Punch-Out!, Rampage, TMNT, etc.

Personally, I've had an Atari, a Nintendo, a Super Nintendo, and a PS2. But, my console days are mostly over. Most of my games (which I rarely play now) are on PC:

Oblivion
The Sims 2, including all expansion packs. When is Spore coming out?! *pulls hair out*
Civilizations 4
Medieval 2: Total War, and Total War Kingdoms
Chessmaster 10th Edition
...The list is much bigger, but I don't want to sound like a total geek...

My 10 favorite games of all time:
Final Fantasy 2, 3, 7, and 10
Oblivion
City of Heroes
The Sims
Civilizations 2
Out of this World
Super Mario Brothers 3

Yeah, I love the old stuff. Here we have the old, arcade-style Pac-Man and Space Invaders

ACK! I can't believe I forgot about Turok!!
I played nothing but that game for months.
Awesome memories

*runs back to edit OP....sorry Turok!*

Morrowind: Elder Scrolls 3
World of Warcraft
Command and Conquer: Generals/Tiberium Wars
Titan Quest
Nox
Warcraft 3
F.E.A.R.
Flight Simulator 10 (I believe that's the new one)
Neverwinter Nights
Unreal Tournament

I'm kind of a hybrid PC/Console guy, really love both and gaming in general

What did you think of Morrowind vs. Oblivion? I've heard that Oblivion is sort of...organized a little better? The leveling system and such I've heard makes exploring around a little easier.
I have Oblivion (whole reason I bought my 360 lol) but I've never played Morrowind and was curious.

Is it awesome?:clap2: It looked like it would be *so* freakin' cool..
I've been wanting to play for sooo long, but I'm a broke college student and can't afford to indulge myself as much as I'd like. Grrr... :149:

Well I haven't played Morrowind, but I became interested in all the previous Elder Scrolls after playing Oblivion. Did you know that Daggerfall boasted around 63,000 square miles of explorable areas? Oblivion only has 16, and I think Morrowind only has 6-7. I wonder what the next Elder Scroll game will be like... *ponders*

They are both great games in their own right. Allthough in Oblivion, the quest directions are more clear, and it has the compass that points you in the direction (which is a bad feature IMO as it reduces the adventure of finding things). Morrowind is LONG. I mean really, really, REALLY f'ing long. Also, if I remember right, you cannot complete all the guild quest in Morrowind as some quest for other guilds require you to kill guild leaders of opposing guilds, which makes it impossible to complete all quests for both guilds. Also in Morrowind, rather than making key characters become unconscious, you can actually kill them. Allthough doing so makes it impossible to finish the main quest. Morrowind does not have horses either. It does have large insect things that work for transportation, but they cost and only take you from one city to another.

The only good consoles are the ones that support Splinter Cell, and the only good console game is Splinter Cell.


I take that back. Play Station had that game "Jet Moto" which was really good. And Mortal Combat was a good game for all the consoles I played it on. And Tekan II was good, but I don't remember what that was for.

...Morrowind is LONG. I mean really, really, REALLY f'ing long...

I wonder how much longer is it than Oblivion? I still haven't finished that game. Last time I played, I was protecting Bruma--with a level 50 character--from a horde of Deadra that spawned from oblivion gates.

Your getting close to the end. You still gotta bit of ways to go, but your close. A small tip though, make sure you got enough time to dedicate to playing it (an hour or sow), when you finish that and enter the main Oblivion gate as that mission is timed.
But Morrowind.....my god that game is LONG. I have not finished it myself. One of my friends played the game religiously and it took him three months to finish it. An old Toonami review (yes, I use to watch that) said "but the game is so long that most players will not stick around for the ending." It even said that is the games only downfall.
And I will say, do not level much higher. At lvl 60, the game becomes so difficult it's almost impossible without cheating. Even the lowly ghost in the elvish ruins pose a major threat without enchanted weapons.
But, back to Morrowind, don't let the length turn you off. While by todays standards, it is far below average, but I remember the day I first started that game. I was just as much blown away by the graphics and game play as I was by Oblivion. And Morrowind is sooooooooooooooo ******* long its not funny.
And yes, Daggerfall does have an astronomically high amount of square miles. Allegedly, it took 6 weeks of auto run to get from one border to the next. Oblivion has 16 square miles, but doesn't seem that bad since you can auto travel or get a horse. Morrowind is only about half of that, which does seem ridiculously long unless your a vampire since there are no speedy methods of transportation, save the insect looking thing.

Zelda : A link to the past - Snes
Mario Kart - Snes

Plus the Silent hill series, any 2d fighters involving Capcom or SNK and sensible Soccer.

This is just a rough list, i'm sure there are games I can't recall at this time.

Oblivion only has 16,

Really? Huh.
Do you know if that's counting the Shivering Isles? (I love that expansion...it kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. Just more...demented/manic)

Yeah...The compass can make things a bit too easy at times, and I try not to use it too much. But it has gotten me out of some sticky situations before
I've heard that Morrowind is really long. Is it just the man story line that's long, or all of the side quests and stuff? I know I've spent hours working on all of the guild quests, miscellaneous side quests, and expansion quests in Oblivion and hardly touched the main story.
I've also heard that in Morrowind they made certain areas really hard (ie: higher level beasties), whereas in Oblivion the entire world levels up with you.

Oblivion has 16 square miles, but doesn't seem that bad since you can auto travel or get a horse.

The horses help, but I don't like the fact that you have to climb off of the freakin' thing to fight while some critter is sitting there waiting for you. I usually just end up walking

No, the original Oblivion has 16 miles. I'm sure the expansion has added to that.

I've also heard that in Morrowind they made certain areas really hard (ie: higher level beasties), whereas in Oblivion the entire world levels up with you.

I dunno about that. I had a level 50 character and I noticed that the difficulty level is proportional to the level of your character. Although I kept myself from dying by using very powerful enchanted armor and weapons. (You can use the power of those stones--You know, the ones you recieve after closing oblivion gates.) They're often a tad bit more powerful than using those crystal thingies (its been a while since I've played. ) Also, Oblivion can be exceptionally hard and time consuming for archers (from what I remember.)
