Did I buy the remake of THPS 1+2? Yes.

Do I suck at the games now because I'm too old? sobs

In your defense they changed the controls!

Idk, the graphics might be too distracting for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My system isn't new enough to play Zork Zero and those newfangled graphical zorks

The remake was awesome. Captured that same feel and made my hand hurt. Though my PS1 controller was way sturdier than the PS4 controller I now played with, since the latter broke lol

I see they must have fixed the wifi at the nursing home today, huh?

That's enough information superhighway for you.

You youngens and your "Tony Hoe's Prawn Skater".

Back in the olden days "Skate Or Die" reigned supreme on our "Nintendos*" and we loved it. :-P

*There was no reason to clarify which "Nintendo" console, because there was no Gameboy/SNES, yet. Of course our parents would call all the consoles "Nintendos", even the C64 and the Master System - but what would you expect from the same people, that thought the "Turbo" button would always boost their 386s (when sometimes it did the complete opposite), because they didn't read any manuals. :-P

Ok boomer

I felt old, now I feel older

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh my god, I forgot about Skate or Die. Sometimes I'd just leave it on the title screen for the awesome music (haha...)

Thps introduced a whole generation of kids to punk rock.

I'll always love goldfinger superman.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To this day, I'll search for "like tony hawk pro skater" instead of "punk rock" or "ska" when looking for mixes.

Tony's 55. He's right there with us.

Some of us actually played that old ass system, including the infamous ET game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Indeed. I'm one of them. I actually still have it, it still works, and I still occasionally play games on it. The first time I introduced my nephew to the controllers was the first time he experienced true rage.

What's this newfangled Tony Hawk crap?

I played Pac Man on my Atari 2600 and I LIKED it.

Oof. Tell whoever is typing on the computer for you that they're doing a great job.

Yeh but if you played it on the N64, you were practically a youngin' compared to us old timers playing it on the PlayStation.

[–] Earthwormjim91 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that whole 6 month difference in release between the two.

The real difference here is using the PS anologue sticks to play instead of the N64 stick

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember the 1900s. Good times.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I rage at thee.

[–] CADmonkey 5 points 1 year ago

I played it on the PS1 I think.

It was my PS1, that I bought with my money... because I was an adult.

[–] GrammatonCleric 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I used to fuck my cousin up on River Raid

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Man the first half of that sentence fucked me up

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

River Raid, is that in Alabama?
