Remember when online didn't excist in consoles?

I'm specifically talking about the previous gen before that, the n64 multiplayer games.*Nostalgia sigh* those days were fun. There was nothing more awesome than getting a group of friends togetherand play nintendo games like perfect dark(the actual good game, forget zero), goldeneye, smash bros, mario tenis, dk 64, turok 2, and even mario party. I wasn't too much into multiplayer at this time, but these games were the center of attention for my and my friends. Anyone in sw remember that time.

I sure do. Those were the good days. I remember always playing WWF Smackdown and Crash Bash with friends.

Solution: don't play online games. duh.

I was there the whole time.

Bringing my friends over and even going to their houses for some fun!

The good ol days of gaming.

I'm so nostalgic.=3

Issue is trying playing split screen with those same friends again, you probably can't, we are in different colleges, I welcome online in consoles. Maybe I don't miss it as much as other people because I been playing online multiplayer since Warcraft 2/Diablo/Starcraft (i.e. around the time of the n64).

Although I remember system link Halo CE and PD/Golden Eye, they were indeed great.

I sure do. Those were the good days. I remember always playing WWF Smackdown and Crash Bash with friends.

Local Play is also getting less popular now

Nostalgia makes things seem better than what they actually were.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Loved that time, I specially loved perfect dark more than any, the gun selection was great.edo-tensei

Yeah, nice moment back then. Now? They have to split budget for online multiplayer and DLC.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I put so many hours into Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, it was just nuts. I agree about Perfect Dark, some of my fav guns ever were from that game.

Yep, I do remember those days, but I also remember loving online gaming on my PC back then too.

I still love both, but I wouldn't touch an online console game with a 10 foot pole. Worst online communities ever.

Nintendo's still making good local multiplayer games though. You won't get a Goldeneye, but at least they haven't given up on games like Smash Bros, or Mario Kart, and incorporating co-op into Super Mario Bros was pretty awesome.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Remember the infamous golden gun in 007?edo-tensei

yep.

Goldeneye. Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros 64. Pokemon Stadium 1/2. we're in college now, but we still recall back to the minigames we played in Pokemon Stadium 2:lol: it was just that great of a memory.

the Nintendo 64 was the best tbh. and it was a beast for split-screen games.

Loved those days! My first console was a PlayStation 1. I sat in front of that thing for hours playing my favorite PS1 games: ........

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

Croc 2

Spyro (the origanal first one)

Never got into crash bandicoot for some reason though, thaughthe was too much of a goofball charictor.

Vigalante 8: Second Offence

Best games for PS1 imo.

Yeah, LAN is a hell of a lot more fun than playing with random strangers. Console split screen isn't so bad either.

My first time online with a console was the PS3 late last year, so yeah, it's not hard to forget a time when I played console games completely offline.

Not me. I liked my territorial air space. I made everyone sit at least 1-2 feet away or had them sit on the floor.

I remember it was a great time in gaming. I don't play online a lot I still don't care for it.

Good times. Especially with Smash Bros.

NOPE, I can NEVER remember a time when consoles were not online. Heck and I started gaming on a NES.:shock:

Online play has always existed on consoles, actually. Ironically, it was the Nintendo consoles. (in Japan)

Yup gaming was much better then. I had a Halo 3 lan party on my 21st B-day a couple of weeks back and its the most fun i've had with the game since 2007. Online gaming cant compare to local MPSp4rtan_3

yep those were the days, when me and my friends all played a deathmatch in the bunker in goldeneye and we would line the halls with remote mines and kill the poor saps in the hall, damn i miss those days:(

Playing nWo vs WCW, Goldeneye, and Twisted Metal 2 with friends was some of my favorite times gaming. That was back when broadband wasn't really around either, so LAN PC gaming was still big too. Couldn't play online too much since the family would rage when you hogged the phone line.:lol: There's still some great local MP gaming to be had like Reach, and lot's of Wii games.

The N64/PSX era was great, but I still consider the SNES/Genesis era to be the golden era of gaming.

You know.. I wish someone would make a thread about how they're GLAD they missed the old generations. It's always the same stuff otherwise. "boo hoo I miss SNES" -- "waaah golden age." Idk if I'm exaggerating the crying sounds too much, I don't really read any of your posts that clearly, but come on. It probably wasn't as good as you guys say it is. Just nostalgia of being kids again. Were it a PS3 or 360 and it was the year 2025, we'd be hearing the samething.

Nah, you're misinterpreting and over-exaggerating. There was something good about having to get together with friends in order to play multiplayer games. Took a lot more dedication. It's similar to the difference between calling somebody on the phone to have a chat, as opposed to meeting up at a cool bar and having a few drinks while reminiscing about the good ol' days.

If you missed out on those gens, then you wouldn't really know what you're talking about anyway. Right?

yeah i missed it...its more like heaven to us...NO DLC no updates it just games that only Update every year

Right but doesn't stop me from wanting a thread that asks for the opposite. In any case I see your point and I'm semi-trolling. Carry on.Cevesun

Hey, at least you're being honest.

I still remember sitting in a room with 6 friends playing winner goes on for Tony Hawk's pro skater. Also LOVED Donkey Kong 64. In fact, I had the clear green version :D
