Shared on Wed, 10/03/2007 - 02:19Today started a nice little two day stretch that involves me getting a grand total of four games. Today I strolled to the ol' game store and picked up NBA 2K8 and Zelda for the DS. Tomorrow....well today since it is about 2:30am will afford me the chance to get PGR4 as well as MLB Power Pros for the Wii. With all of these fun games rolling out, his makes me want to list the top ten moments in my gaming history........
#10.....
The Time that I pitched my first Perfect Game. In the last year MVP baseball was alive. I took the less than stellar lefty Randy Wolf and the Fighting Phils against the St. Louis Cardinals and went 27 up and 27 down. That actually started a baseball trifecta where I also pitched no-nos on the two other MLB games that year as well. One with Bret Myers and the with Esteban Loaiza.
#9.....
The day that I beat my Uncle Jay in Ice Hockey. My uncle was talking a bunch of crap about how he could kick my ass in my, at the time, favorite hockey game. I took my fat guy, skinny guy, and two medium guys and proceeded to deliver a 53-1 ass rape. Even as a 9 year old I didn't take shit talking kindly. He still refuses to play video games to this day.
#8.....
The title game that was fixed by the gods. My father and I were playing a tournament in NES Play Action Football and were set to meet in the title game. I was a pass happy technician. He was a running machine. Well that all changed when the fake news paper showed the headline that changed the whole game. The headline that my father read with a dropped jaw was "Star running back injures hand in freak blender accident!" I proceeded to go on to take my destiny laced trophy to a tune of 35-3.
#7.....
The time Nintendo Power pissed me off. I saw a little section that detailed how cool the people were who beat The Legend of Zelda on the SNES in 3 lives. I got mad that they got all this acclaim and grabbed a whole bunch of soda and junk food with one mission in mind. All I have to say is mission accomplished. I beat the game in one sitting and with all three zeros in tact. Yes, I didn't die....
#6.....
The day the lines blurred. Pure and simple. The big gray original Gameboy. I amassed 211 lines. This could be the day that I broke my eyes and forced myself into a life of wearing glasses.
#5.....
The walkoff that really did crush someone's self esteem. I was playing my cousin in World Series Baseball for the old Sega Genesis for the simple reason that he said he would destroy me. I was down 3-1 in the bottom of the 9th. A walk and a bean later, Darren Daulton walked to the plate. with an 0-2 count a shot was blasted toward the left-center field wall. Michael in his spineless manner hit the power button as the ball landed on the crowd. He looked at me and said "It never happened so it doesn't count." I proceeded to call him a loser. He got even more spineless and told his father what happened and what I said. His father explained to him that he agreed with my assessment and he needs to be more of a man and accept his loses. He began to cry.
#4.....
The time that I made my best friend walk out. While playing NCAA football on the PS1 I was down by 4 points with 3 seconds left. My best friend at the time had just scored a TD and was about to kick off. All I thought was "He finally beat me....Dammit!!" Then it happened. I took the kickoff at the 1 and ran up the middle. I then cut to the right and spun into the open and down the sideline. My friend walked out before I crossed the goal line and didn't talk to me for a week.
#3.....
I guess one quarter was all I needed. While playing the arcade game WWF Wrestlefest. I chose Sgt. Slaughter as my character for the Royal Rumble mode. I proceeded to win the whole thing on one quarter. It came down to me and the Ultimate Warrior. When dust settled, there was only one man standing in the ring and only one quarter used.
#2.....
I can't even come close to this again. I am not going to mix words. I beat Contra on the NES on the original three lives. I really don't know how but I pulled it off with my sister and next door neighbor saw the whole thing.
#1.....
My back was against the wall for a total of 6 and then some. While playing NHL on the old PS1 I walked the line of elimination all the way to a miracle. I was able to not lose game with the Flyers in the playoffs and get my team to the Eastern Conference finals. There I met the Boston Bruins. I was handed 3 straight beatings as was down 0-3. I battled back and forced a game 7 which I won to get into the Stanley Cup Finals where I met the Colorado Avalanche. There, I was handed another 0-3 deficit. I won games 4 and 5 without much trouble. Game 6 saw me blow a two goal, third period lead only to get the game winner 1 minute into the first OT. Then there was game 7. A 3-3 score at the end of period number 3. In that very frame, I was on a breakaway and for some reason hit the drop pass button. The puck was positioned about 10 feet in front of the crease. Yelling, I saw John Leclair flying in to get the loose puck. I hit the shoot button out of instinct and blasted a top shelf cannonade that lit the lamp and won Lord Stanley's Cup.
