Germ ffs shut the hell up about raven shield you little moron, every god damn post you somehow bring it up or try to relate it in an impossibly dumb fuk way, its really getting tiresome now
Wheres Dungeon Keeper of 1997, one of my fave games hehe, did i see Half life in there? hmm, Goldeneye maybe.. i loved NBA jam on the snes with all those crazy kool dunks. a game i loved called Shuttlepuck Cafe on the Amiga is a game that no-one will have ever heard of, shame- i loved it... otherwise that list is pretty darn good!!

The Contra code is the most famous button code of all time. It has been permanently etched into my brain. It gives (gave?) you 30 lives.
What I want to know is: Why isn't Pong on the list? That game started it all.

LOL. Yes, yes indeed!
I would add:
FINAL FANTASY TACTICS
Playstation
1997
The first game to make SoLiDUS waste entire math classes talking about it
with his buddy sitting behind him and also one of the first games to enthrall
him from 4pm to bed time, conveniently discarding homework for the sake
of "one more fight for experience and JP".
biggrin:

Needless to say, I will have to buy it and play incessantly until I totally
master it, just like I mastered FF VII and Tactics (which is simply the best
game, bar none).
