So I know most of you fags only play Halo or god forbid Smash bros., but I come to you for help anyway.

I've been talking with the management at 5 0'clock sports bar on Hillsborough and they think it would be cool if I set up a classic video game night on wednesdays. So far I've got an nes, snes, genesis, saturn, dreamcast, psx.

So, what other systems and games do I need to make it work?

You start off by calling users 'you fags' and then ask for help?

master system, coleco vision, atari

2/3/2009 7:42:13 PM

neo geo

I'm sorry my terminology must be out of date, I thought that's how people greeted each other around here.

2/3/2009 7:44:43 PM

I'm currently looking for a master system and god knows I won't be able to find a cheap neo geo system. I also want to pick up a Turbo-grafx.

2/3/2009 7:46:14 PM

You're thinking of 4chan. TWW is not made of basement monkeys with no social skills... though there are a few that roam around here.

2/3/2009 7:46:17 PM

Ah, I see, well excuse me then.

But still good calls on the systems so far, any ideas about games you'd love to play again?

2/3/2009 7:49:58 PM

Mario Bros.

The original, with the kickass multiplayer.

Also pretty much an actual arcade games you can get your hands on.

2/3/2009 7:54:12 PM

Yeah 5-0 had some playable arcade games in the back for a while, but then they traded them in for a golden tee and a superstrike game.

Which isn't bad considering that they're a sports bar first and foremost, but if this weekly game night picks up I'll at least try to get a multicade or namco classics cabinent, or something.

I've got a Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet, and I've been trying with several places over the past few years to let me bring it in so that I could have a right proper Samurai Shodown 3 (or 4) tournament. First year I taught middle and high school, I got permission to bring my machine to the school fall festival where I set up a "Beat the Teacher" booth and offered $25 gift cards to anyone would could defeat me. (Two students actually did, which was exciting for everyone.) I made more money for the school than any other booth that year.

you say "classic" and then mention a bunch of systems that arent really considered classic

2/3/2009 8:33:08 PM

^^ gg

2/3/2009 8:33:53 PM

^^^ that totally owns.

^^ agreed. if youre talking about vintage/classic, the absolute upper limit i'd think about is the SNES/Genesis era.

2/3/2009 8:42:32 PM

i dunno. first gen psx games are starting to feel pretty classic. wanna bust out some tekken 2?

2/3/2009 8:59:40 PM

when I think classic I think Pacman, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders etc.

2/3/2009 8:59:55 PM

meh. i know they are technically the classics, but most ppl in college are going to be more enticed by their classics like early NES and even SNES games.

If you want to sell beer: Drinking RBI Baseball on NES.

any classic video game nite w/o tecmo super bowl will be sure to fail

2/3/2009 9:30:06 PM

what do you fags think of sinistar?

2/3/2009 10:02:34 PM

I think I hunger.

2/3/2009 10:18:03 PM

Are you looking only for vs. multiplayer games? If not, Bubble Bobble and Double Dragon on the NES are awesome games. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! isn't multiplayer but is good for a large crowd to watch, I think it would be fun to play that on a big screen.

Street Fighter 2 on the SNES is a must.

Maybe Mortal Kombat on the Genesis (the SNES version doesn't have blood).

If you are just doing a "compete for high score" thing, I'd recommend Pitfall on the Atari 2600.

2/3/2009 11:37:36 PM

^ i thought both MK's had no blood unless you typed in the blood code (ABACABB on genesis).

2/3/2009 11:44:45 PM

How about some 2600 for us old folks.

2/4/2009 12:01:23 AM

2/4/2009 12:28:25 AM

psx and dreamcast are not "vintage".

2/4/2009 12:32:16 AM

hellz yea. gotta have some pitfall, galaga, asteroids and pac man.

2/4/2009 12:37:11 AM

Classic video games are the best. I will beat anyone on the original donkey kong.
