Hey there, Freaks & Geeks, this is BLOODCHUCKZ -- Some of you may know of me as the author of "Where Jimmy Can't Be Busted", posted on several of the gaming sites........ When I was a kid, there was Pinball -- Only kids weren't allowed to play them, as they were considered for "Grown-Ups", and were usually in Bars and such....I didn't get to play pinball until I was 16. I had picked up DBZ from the discount bin at my local Smell-Mart last year, on the chance it would be a good play....and so it was.....DBZ BT3 has become my favorite PS2 game, displacing my previous favorites, MANHUNT I & MANHUNT 2......I have been to 100% three times, first two without cheats, (THAT was fun)...... I'll be popping up on the boards now & then to see if there's anything new to me that I haven't come across yet....and to tell of the little oddites I've encountered....... So long....See you on the Boards....

Hello and welcome! love it when members join who are older than me I'm 19 by the way, i remember a lot of the old games, geeez what was the first game i played... bah.. i think we had a really old Atari when i was a kid, probably around '2003-'2004 i think we had Pong on that, i can remember the paddle type controllers that you twisted and maybe had a couple of buttons on them. I think we had the usuals- pacman, space invaders etc. We had other systems too while i was growin up, a Commodore 64, a Spectrum ZX(?)We wasn't rich or anything i think my dad was just really into them. We had all sorts of games Defender, Comet, damn i'll have to think, got the nostalgia going now...

This state is one of the most backwards and repressive when it comes to kids, I think. There's even been talk of making kids wear school uniforms, fer crikey sake. Many of those old manual Pinball games were considered gambling devices. As this state was the last in the entire midwest to even get a lottery, you can see where this is going. Even today, the only legal gaming for money is confined to the 'floating casinos' and a bit of pari-mutuel at a couple of selected horse tracks.
Even the schools I went to were old and archaic. The interior shots of the Bullworth classrooms remind me of my grade schools. I didn't get to go to a new school building until the 11th grade.
