Well even though alot of video games are like that these days, some video games are still like the old school games were like all of the new Nintendo 2D platformer games that have been coming out lately. Besides the classic games aren't all that challenging most of them were quit easy especially the Megaman games, Mario, Pac-Man, and Sonic.

Have you ever gotten to the last level of original Pac-Man? The is a reason those games have kill screens, because it is designed to be virtually impossible to beat and there isnt enough memory on the chip to complete the game.

I didn't know there was a last level, I have gone for hours before and the game just kept going on and on so I always assumed that the game went on for ever. Either way it's still rather easy (Take that Blinky!!!)

And besides, it's better than that garbage "X" series.

In reality you can't beat the old-school games, they were made back when games were challenging. These days games are made so that anyone can play them and so halfway through they become a chore and boring. X at least came at a time when we hadn't completely eradicated the challenge from games.
Battle network is just "*tap tap tap tap* won. Now what's next. Oh. *Tap etc* Well, at least that's over. Oh...*Switch to Hello Kitty Roller Rescue for the difficulty and variation upgrade*"

I'm not saying it's a horrible game, it has a decent idea behind it, but it didn't seem to translate well from idea to game.

I'll give it to you that it's easy (2 and 4 had difficulty modes), but it's got great gameplay and a good story. (And it's still not as easy as MM10 easy mode)

And as for the X series...?
Try playing X7 : /

One game does not make a whole series bad.

Yes Bey-Heart there is a final level on original Pac-Man.

That game had mixed reviews, and was still fun compared to X7, which is generally bad in almost every way.
On the other hand Battle Network doesn't even feel like Megaman to me, and I found the whole series boring.
I love Pac-Man, but it still isn't a match for TETRIS!!! (The original one, which I own Smile) Mc Frown, don't be haten on the X series! I like BN too, but X is just better. I feel that making the X series games more "3-dimensional" took away from the original challenge, but I still enjoy X8!
I hope they another Megaman series soon because Starforce is getting old.
I hated battle network, it is the worst series I have ever played in megaman spinoffs.
I did enjoy the small time Zero had, and Megaman ZX-ZXA, and soon ZXE.
I really wished they made a Megaman Zero 5 because of the ending to Megaman Zero 4.
I don't know if it was someone from here but I was playing Transformers: War for Cybertron on PC the other day and I ran into a fellow named FrosticDranzer. I friended them and was just wondering if it was someone from the WBO? My username on there is TheRealMaxL (because apaprently MaxL is to short of a username).

I thought it was just a special on Toonami. I didn't realize they actually made games for it.
Oh, it's so terrible, the worst looking megaman ever (unless you count the classic games cover art), in Battle Networks future but with radio waves and a vertical battlefield.
It makes me physically ill.
I finally got around to buying COD Modern Warfare. Not the second one, but the first. It finally was at a reasonable price used. I have no interest in online play so I wasn't willing to spend 60 bucks just for the single player campaign.
Yeah, Future Shop had it for like $11 a week or so ago. I was mildly interested in it, but decided against.

EDIT- Rogers+ be having an insane deal on PSP stuff.
It's weird....Halo 3 ODST actually gave me a nightmare. thats screwed up.
What's cooler a game where you can control your Bey virtually, like in the show but video game wise or be able to do that but with Pokemon? I'd say Beyblades
Does anybody on here remember the Sonic Adventure games? I still play those games sometimes, Hah, Although I play the GameCube versions. I think that Sonic Team should use those as a reference because those are from when Sonic games were grand although the first Sonic Adventure is the best. But they have the best story lines like Sonic Adventure 2 you pretty much have to take down Rogue, Eggman, and Shadow, because they are trying to comine this big ship thing (I think it's the DeathEgg) with the moon. And in the first Sonic Adventure game you have to take down Chaos and if you beat the game with all 6 characters then you get to play as Super Sonic in another story line to take down Perfect Chaos. Also I think that these 2 games were the inspiration for Sonic X since they came out quit some years before that show.

I'm currently looking for a Sega Dreamcast for a cheap price, I think I might check my local flee market because they usually have a ton of old video game stuff there for cheap.
