    The $80 SNES emulator at Best Buy is pretty good if you want to relive some childhood Saturday mornings.

    Btw, here is a legit web site for old PC games that run off of "DOS Box"... I've downloaded more than a few games and can tell you that it is safe. I would STILL have a virus checker check still, but the web site, again, is still legit. :thumbsup::fistbump:

    I played some early consoles, but the games that really bring me back are the early PC multiplayer games.

    Star Wars: Galaxies
    PlanetSide
    Beta/vanilla World of Warcraft

    Man, I remember playing WoW when it was a new concept and redefining multiplayer gaming. The feeling of freedom and exploration will never be matched again.

    Meeting people, being in a big clan/guild made all the memories.

    Have yet to play any WoW. I hear it's like crack, so I'm scared :)

    I think Morrowind was my first open world RPG. Good game but never finished it because I got side tracked and lost interest after so many hours. That's how most of my open world RPG experiences are so I try to stay away. Out of the whole Elder Scroll series I think I only finished Skyrim main story because I stayed away from the side quest as much as possible.

    Witcher 3 is my favorite open world RPG that I have beat multiple times and did a lot of the side quests. Lets see if Cyberpunk will be just as good whenever that game comes out.

    I just started Witcher 3 last weekend. It's pretty damn good. Also it's much more difficult than Skyrim. Having to prepare for each specific fight is much better than just hacking and slashing.

    If anything the story and the side quest stories are one of the best. And yes I do like the different fighting style and animation they did for each move. Makes it more unique than the “hack and slash”

    007 was a fun game that I’d played over and over. The split screen multiplayer was the best for a console game at its time from what I can remember.

    Bought one of those mini Nintendos off etsy modded with all 800 original games for $180 bucks. I was skeptical going in that it might be a scam but it turned out legit! Every game I have looked for has been on there, even some of the more obscure ones and they all seem to be in working order aside from Stadium Events, its there but doesn't seem to work. Which I think may be on purpose since the cartridges go for big bucks. Anyways if anybody wants the sellers name let me know, this thing is pretty sweet!
