metadigital Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 ...Yes, I've corrupted a child but in a good way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Make sure he learns to play sport as well. That way, he won't grow up to be a feckless, irradiated geek, but a well-rounded renaissance man!

Child of Flame Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 You guys are all freaking morons. Except for Mus?, Darque, Mets, and maybe a couple other people. Old Console games are all but public domain, they're still copyrighted, but only because copyrights last a really long time. Nintendo and Sega etc. generally look the other way because they aren't making money off the titles anymore. There never was a threat to video games any more than there was a threat to rock and roll. And Blank just gets on my nerves. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surreptishus Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 About the kid... i hope he don't get fat. Well, I didn't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nor did i, but then again all i had was a Sega Master System when i started out gaming; games were prohibitively expensive when i was a wee lad; gaming instead of playing outside was still very much frowned upon. This kid has a huge potential library of ROMs to play and a plethora of junk snack food on which to gorge. The odds are stacked against him.

Judge Hades Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 It all depends on his family background as well. I come from a family of fat arses so weight has been a constant problem for me.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I used to do all the sports when I was a kid. Football, Cricket, Rugby etc. I have to agree with Volourn.

tarna Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 ^ Yeah, I think those games ( as ROMs ) are still protected by copyright laws. I have some as well but they are getting harder to find the ROMs and emulators. Until they are declared 'AbandonWare', or released by the writer, they are still protected although I seriously doubt the Sega cares that I'm playing Shining Force on my PC. Keep in mind guys that you're talking about pirating software on a game developer's board. They just might take offense to cavalier talk about software protections. Ruminations...

tarna Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 :D I mentioned that one because I did actually buy the game. The platform is long dead though.

Craigboy2 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) I'm over at a close family friends house for Thanksgiving for a couple of days. They have a 8 year old son and he has a computer. Not a very good computer. 128 ram, an old pentium 4 CPU and an internal graphics card. Now, there's no one really my age at this home so I'm mostly bored out of my mind surfing the web since I don't have any games with me, when I remember the great world of emulation. So I look around and DL a SNES emulator with a few classic games. Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Contra the Alien Wars, The Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Donkey Kong...among others. I'm amusing myself, having a grand old time stomping turtles, blasting aliens and carving a path with Ryu's dragon sword, when the lil 8 year old kid sneaks up behind me and nearly deafens me with his enthusiastic shriek of, "COOL!!! CAN I PLAY NEXT? CAN I? CAN I? CAN I? CAN I? WHEN CAN I PLAY?" Not being one to deny the joys of gaming to anyone(plus his yelling was really annoying) I let him have a turn at Contra. He quickly died within 3 seconds. I showed him the basic controls and gave him a few tips like, 'keep pressing the shoot button' and 'jump'. He kept dying but I could already tell by the shine in his eye and the determination on his face that he would not be denied victory. I chuckled to myself, feeling pretty good about things and went downstairs to watch some TV. About an hour later I came up and checked on his progress. The little bugger had gotten the first of the top-down stages, but he couldn't seem to adjust to the new camera angles and was growing frustrated. I switched him over to Super Mario World and immediately he was hooked on that. All day long he played running around as Mario, Ryu, Kong and Link. I was there with him reliving some good memories and felt proud of myself for introducing him to the world of games. I wanted to give him my old SNES, controllers and games so he could play properly, but alas my mom had given them away long ago. I got to talking with while he was jumping, blasting and slicing away and he told me that he loved to read, especially those Choose You Own Adventure Books because as he told me, "You can choose what you want to happen!" I answered with, "You know, there are games where you can choose where you want to go and what you want to happen too." "Sweet!" he answered. "I wanna play that!" So now he's playing Chrono Trigger. In addition I've DLed Final Fantasy 6, The Secret of Mana and other 16bit RPGs. I'm actually having a good time playing with him. Yes, I've corrupted a child but in a good way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you link me to this emulator? ^ Yeah, I think those games ( as ROMs ) are still protected by copyright laws. I have some as well but they are getting harder to find the ROMs and emulators.

Sarjahurmaaja. Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) "I mentioned that one because I did actually buy the game." One would assume you can play it on any platform you choose to, then. "Can you link me to this emulator?" Because googling "SNES" together with "emulator" would be too damn hard?

Judge Hades Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Actually there is a store in Ames Iowa that you could buy a lot of old games. They have games from the new X Box 360 and PSP to all the way back to the days of the Atari 2600 and Odyssey. Yep, they have an Odyssey game console going fo $40. Ah... childhood memories...
