Oh if you only knew how much I missed the "flying cross chop". Seriously I had forgotten about that game until you posted Starman. NH sir.

He's from the world's first great wrestling game introduced on the good 'ol NES. Forget the name though, probably NES Wrestling, i dunno...

[Galapogos]

Pro Wrestling! Not NES Wrestling, I'm sure that's it!

[flomo]

is there an alternate theme for the old people?

[jyms]

Try this one

[Silly String]

Favorite comic book character? What the hell else did you have back then? Favorite toy character like GI Joe or something. I'm sure you old farts will get creative.

[flomo]

[gabe]

[flomo]

pinball machines still do have characters

[chipper5711]

I'm game for a new avatar theme.

Q*bert!! FTW!

[gabe]

I am Kong.

Strong and passionate, I tend to be misunderstood, sometimes even feared. I don't want to fight, I don't want to cause trouble, all I ask is a little love, and a little peace. If I don't get what I want, I get angry, and throw barrels and flaming oil at whatever's stopping me.

[LimpinAintEZ]

this is the best i could do - I don't know how to resize squat, but this was definitely my favorite video game as a kid - spent all my allowance on this shit for like a year -

i was good too....easy to figure out whta it is?

[Xianti]

I am Kong.

No. I am Kong.

[Anosmic]

Spy Hunter?

[jyms]

Any guesses

Fuck - thanks for that - It was driving me mad and I only looked at it for a few seconds

1. Absolutely no idea if this ever made it in the States (probably not) and if not no-one will understand it except Miffed and a few other Brits but meh.

2. Can anyone else find me a better Manic Miner av? One with the actual willy character in original block form? A quick search on google images provides nothing that's quite good enough.

Edit - I'm talking about the original ZX Spectrum version that I remember from the early 80's by the way (showing my age!), not the PC one that's pictured in the Av.

[Fortune 500]

I'm in. I'll be surprised if anyone knows who this guy is... he's relatively obscure.

[swiggidy]

Greatest Video Game of all time and character

First time in my memory everyone's got on board with the first suggestion.

Naked Snake from Metal Gear Solid 3.

Metal Gear and Gran Turismo, Best reasons ever to own a playstation!

Perhaps this is the best first idea there's been?

Yeah I've never tried Metal Gear Solid before...which one should I start with (I have a ps2 only)?

[acesfullokings]

Start with Metal Gear Solid then 2 and 3. The first is a little behind in graphics but the gameplay and story will make up for it. They get progressively better in gameplay and graphics. If you're into those kind of games they will absorb you.

[bode]

who is yours JL?

[Da GOAT]

<------------ yo

[Galapogos]

Was torn between this and Bionic Commando.

[Halv]

Shipit.

I really wanted to be Qbert, but Im too slow. Runner-up candidates; Link, Black from Spy vs Spy, one of the dudes from Street Gangs.

And of course I have a secret dream that if I used Pacman courtie would use Ms Pacman

[kevster]

Manic Miner people! - get with the fucking program and help me out!!!!

[lolzzz_321]

Bigred be Aeris!

[GatorJH]

First time in my memory everyone's got on board with the first suggestion.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I have to find some kewl video game character and I don't play them that much.

[GatorJH]

Is my May Avatar from a video game? If so I will just leave it. LOL

[zook]

The Fresh Prince is ON FIRE

[Ash256]

Sup.

This is from 1 by the way, probably the best ever.. Although 2 was great too.

[koolmoe]

GDI, I'm getting old.

[The Professor]

Soda Pop is a close 2nd...

[JL]

who is yours JL?

God of War...if u get the chance, you should try it. Very good game.

[LimpinAintEZ]

i was good too....easy to figure out whta it is?

Spy Hunter?

yep - pretty sad that the colecovision was the only pic i could find that fit - i wanted the arcade version with the oil slick and the smoke...but im computer illiterate - all i know is the on/off button

[Anosmic]

Manic Miner people! - get with the fucking program and help me out!!!!

streets of rage ldo. My mom hid the cartridge from us when she observed us playing. "Too violent" We obv found it and would play it then hide it from her when not using it.

there are so many to pick from, but I think Ive gotta go with earthworm jim.

for any old schoolers that need one, you should use joust, possibly the best oldschool game evar.

[boost]

I changed my mind... everyones going with console games, pc games own, kthx.

[kingnat]

I spent more money on this arcade game than all others combined.

[kingnat]

P.S. A lot of you kiddies are probably way too young to know where my character comes from, but whatevs.

King Slender was the bomb on that game... it was backbreaker, backbreaker, backbreaker, backbreaker, piledriver, piledriver, piledriver, piledriver... pin.

:championship:

[kevster]

Manic Miner people! - get with the fucking program and help me out!!!!

Hooray!!! Many thanks.

[Da GOAT]

golden axe came in second on my sega console. Streets of rage took up most my childhood. any ever play megalomania?? one of the first strategy games i got addicted to aswell.

First console i had was the Atari 3600 or 2600 (i think), only game i had was a 32 in 1 cartridge. I remember friends had the commodores!! christ did they take forever to load

[boost]

anyone remember the 4monitor xmen arcade side scrolling beat 'em up? It was like streets of rage, but xmen, and 4 monitors.

[Crazy Scot]

Koolmoe,


Thats from Ultima III right? Or mabye II. Up through IV those games rocked!! Seemed to run out of gas after that for me.

Thanks for trip down memory lane!

[Halv]

Is that Golden Axe? I remember playing that with my older half-brother back in the day. Great fun, shame I don't really remember the game.

If you have Ps2, go out and buy Sega Genesis Collection.
It has Golden Axe and many others on there.

[Xianti]

I have the best avatar + signature combo ever.
