CougJunkie is correct, RBI Baseball was great (still play it on my computer from time to time), as well as Tecmo Bowl.

Answering Il Padrino Ute's question, his name is Craig Barlow. Like I said, he's not very good.
We need a thread about old computer/video games. Ever play Space Quest? Way more fun than King's Quest. I still remember having to sling (not throw) a rock at a guard's head using a jock strap.

Excellent avatar. I'm impressed you beat Zelda at such a young age. I tried it a few times when I was 9 or so and never got very far.

Do I ever! Space Quest was hilarious and very fun. PaloAltoCougar was an avid fan as well, as he obviously was the one buying all these. Do you know of anywhere that I could get these games?

You should start a thread, I also loved Wing Commander, oh the memories.

Yeah, 'filsdepac' is French for son of pac. I know, weak name, but i was trying to be clever and was going through that whole 'post-mission-think-i'm-cool-because-i-speak-another-language' phase. I could have changed it here, i guess, but wanted to match cougarboard. Oh well.

My brother termed this "Bilingual Fascination Syndrome" while he attended BYU. He thought it was hilarious when a couple former mission companions would run into each other on campus and start speaking to each other in Tagalog when 2 years had passed since the mission. I'll admit I went through that phase too.

I was done with that phase 6 months before my mission ended. It used to piss off the sister missionaries who were still trying to learn the language when I would speak english 100% of the time whenever other missionaries were present.

The best part of Double Dribble was the way you could run up and down the court with your fist up and ready to deck someone, and then you could unleash a punch on your opponent. Very realistic, especially for NBA or LDS Church basketball.

I have no memory of the fist or the fighting element of that game.

Maybe the punching mode required a code.
