Yeah. :lol:

We were around 13 at the time, and his little brother was only 8, and we had a significant skill gap over him. This way he could play with us, and have fun learning the game while we had fun doing our own boss-type battles.

Did you guys do One Hit Kill often? We always did haha.

I had this one friend that... forever reason LOVED playing as Jaws. You know, the walking fortress wall sized character. I never once said anything and just laughed in my head about it.

I don't think my friends and I ever outlawed Oddjob haha, it was just whoever got him first.

Back in the N64 days, despite having access to GoldenEye, my friends and I barely played it multiplayer. We put way more VS FPS time into these two:

Although countless hours were spent here:

One of my best friends at the time told me years later he realized I was truly evil while we were playing Mario Kart 64 (this was in 1997). It was when I used the lightning on him just before he was about to make the river jump at DK's Jungle Parkway. (It made him fall into the river, and then once rescued, remained still shrunken.) Dude raged so hard it was glorious. I laughed until Surge came out my nostrils.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

^ sounds about as 90's as it gets!

I think I have more Goldeneye stories myself, but in the long run I'm definitely an evil bigger Perfect Dark fan.

I think the N64 was so awesome back in the day because of the ease of being able to play 4 player games.

Much raging was had while playing Mario Kart, Mario Party, Bomberman 64, and WCW/NWO Revenge.

Spent way too many hours just beating the shit out of each other with weapons in WCW/nWo Revenge, good times.

I remember the first time me and a friend were trying to collect all of the emeralds in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I thought Super Sonic was as far as it went and when you got all seven emeralds in the Sonic & Knuckles half of the game it would just give Super Sonic back to you after taking it away.

Well my friend did it first and he called me on the phone to excitedly tell me about "Hyper Sonic." I didn't believe him. The whole thing sounded like bullcrap to me. Hyper Sonic? Really? And he glows in rainbow colors? Yeah right.

Well... he certainly showed me. :lol:
