the grinder, held it in two hands and it either ground your opponents or shot like a gatling gun.

That was it. Pwnage!

Thats right, great weapon. Another of my favorites was the Farsight XLR (or something along those lines). So many great memories of sitting in some dark corner sniping my friends all over the map, all while laughing hysterically....

Finally talking about something in my area of expertise. LOL. The grinder was ridiculous, but the farsight was downright evil. could see and shoot thru walls with target tracking? I liked the dragon assault rifle too, run out of ammo? alt mode, proximity mine. and of course as was already mentioned the laptop gun.

See i never liked most of these weapons. We just played Goldeneye with pistols mainly so all those weapons in PD were lost on us. It was all about accuracy, not firepower or traps. Though I used the magnum so one shot anywhere would kill (well with the handicaps settings we used). Most people hated it cause it was slow but that didnt matter if you were accurate. I had a friend who always used oddjob because he was smaller, it took some time adjusting for head shots. And if he was real close you'd basically be aiming downward. We let him have him though cause he didn't play the game as much so that was his edge.

As for Proximity mines, I remember sometimes we played with those in goldeneye, my brother was such a bitch with them. he'd throw them ahead as you chased after him. The trick was to follow very closely so they wouldn't have time to be triggered by the time you passed them, if you didn't turn a corner quickly enough, you were done.

Ultima Online. Hands down the greatest MMO ever.

When it first came out yes. The option of being a Dread Lord was awesome.

Neverwinter Nights on AOL, a mpog...think it allowed like 300 people.. was awesome.

Enjoyed Shadowbane a lot too

Super Mario World
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII

Tomba! for PS1. I will never find another game that enthralled me start to finish like that one again and it makes me sad.

Oh, and EverQuest.

Yesterday I bought ''Soldiers : Heroes Of World War 2'' and it's amazing to play. It's an strategy game that came out in 2004 and I played it a long time. Unfortunatly, the CD broke in 2011 or so, haven't played it ever since. But I bought it again yesterday and I'm super excited!

Don't know what it was called. I used to live around the corner from an arcade that had this game where you flew a rocket, tried to land it on the surface of a planet, refuel, then fly into another galaxy after refueling at all the planets in that particular galaxy and do the same thing in the next galaxy all the time fighting off intergalactic adversaries. It was difficult and challenging. Never boring as it got more difficult with each succeeding galaxy. This was around '85 I suppose. I'm not and never was a big fan of video games but I was hooked on that one and wish it was still out there in some galaxy.

Many bootlegs and knock-offs of this concept, but the big US release version was called Gravitar.

For personal faves, my all time is still Robotron 2084 in the arcade, and on the PC Unreal Tournament was the BEST! So much fun rolling through 100s of thousands of maps as Homer Simpson in his tightywhities. One guy that was a regular on our server had made his own skin that was a topless Asia Carrera. Hilarious, and such a great playing game. The original Unreal game engine and UI throughput was so fast/good, it's still being used 18 years later.

Tempest, Pac Man, Defender, Space Invaders, just to name a few.
