Find a SNES emulator and a rom for A Link to the Past. You won't regret it.
 
My console ownership "evolution"

NES
SNES* Still own one
N64
Dreamcast (:cano:)
Playstation 1
Playstation 2
Playstation 3

I played some games on the PC but that was rare (Sim City mainly) and a few neighbors had SEGA's so I was able to play those as well.

I never had any of the Nintendo consoles. All my friends had the Nintendo when I was growing up, so I had the honor of playing the worst sports game of all time (the generic Nintendo "Baseball" game, where every outfielder is Alfonso Soriano). My college roommate had a Nintendo 64, but we only played the WWF game. I played Sim City and Half Life on the PC, but the PC games were such a pain to deal with.

Console ownership evolution:

Atari 2600 - (games were very limited. You could play 15 different games in 30 minutes)

Commodore 64 -(favorite gaming system)

Sega Genesis - (still somewhat limited, but graphics were pretty good. I think these last "cartridge" systems were vastly superior to the early "CD" systems, especially in terms of sports games)

Playstation 1 - (I thought this was a terrible system. Its strange how good Metal Gear and Gran Turismo were, and pretty much every other game was crap. In my frustration, I bought something called the "Sega Saturn", IIRC, and after I bought it they stopped making games)

Sega Saturn - (even worse than the PS1. Had no good games, and the sports games were a total joke)

Playstation 2 - (still my current system, although I don't really play games anymore. Very happy with this system. The sports games had franchise/dynasty features which made the highly replayable.)
 
Good work Lefty! I can't argue with your selection at #1 as I played the hell out of that and all of the Zelda series back in the day. Makes me want to get the old SNES out of the storage shed and play it again along with Contra, Super Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat II and Super Tecmo Bowl.
 
Wish I could just have a handheld with all the old classic NES and SNES loaded on it. I blame you for this feeling Lefty

That's not a big hill to climb. I have a hacked PSP with NES and SNES emulators along with a few hundred ROMs on a memory stick that I'd be willing to sell.
 
Do they run pretty smoothly?

Smoother than a baby's butt.

My stepbrother got a PSP for christmas a few years ago and i looked through all the homebrew sites so i could play classic games. It worked incredibly well, i wouldn't recommend doing it to your Vita.

Rainbow 6 Vegas


Tcr6vcov11.jpg


Platforms: Xbox 360/PS3

SPAWN KENO ROOM!

I warn you now, this review is kind of short but I do have something to make up for it. I never even touched the single player for this game to be honest but I did enjoy the hell out of the multiplayer. One of my all time favorite multiplayer experiences to be honest and a level of fun that has yet to be duplicated online.

Rainbow-Six-Vegas-2-Fan-Pack-Content-List-1.jpg


As I said before I never touched the single player in this game. The whole reason I even go this game was because of my brethren at MN/SG. They told me how damn good of an experience it was online so I put down the sixty dollars and hoped for the best. What I got was nothing short of a miracle. Rainbow 6 Vegas was at the time the greatest online multiplayer game I had ever played. It just boggled my mind that you could have a completely customizable player. You could choose your guns, camo, facepaint and I even used my Xbox Live Vision Camera to put my own face on my player. It was freaking amazing. Another damn good thing about the multiplayer was rappelling. In most games if you wanted to get downstairs you had to use the stairs but not in Veags. I would rappel through the roof of the Calypso Casino like a boss. I remember opening and closing doors as well. You never see that in games anymore, every door has magically disappeared and you’re left with a frame only. I mention the door thing because Rush and I used to hide in the bathroom at Calypso Casino for the majority of many matches. One time I was running back and forth in the bathroom and rush is standing on the toilet, I wasn’t paying attention and the enemy came bursting through the door and Rush starts unloading on the guy and told him to never bother him when he’s taking a shit. Not in Rainbow 6 Vegas, you could open and close those thangs. I’m getting entirely too excited as I review this, sorry, I really miss this game. The ranking system worked well in this game too. As you gained XP and progressed up in rank you would unlock new weapons, equipment, armor or camo. A few games of current multiplayer stature use this system as well. I’m not saying Rainbow 6 Vegas started it but they were the first to get it right. The game featured typical modes like Team Deathmatch but also had Attack and Defend which was, in my humble opinion, the best mode in the game. It is basically one team defending the bomb site and the other team trying to plant. We had lots of epic standoffs with fellow VSNers in that game mode. The graphics in this game were decent for a year into the 360 life cycle. The best thing was the level designs and there were many maps to choose from with varying styles and such. Character models could have been better but with the level of customization, who cares? Sound was very good actually. Every gun sounded different and the sound of you breaking the glass and rappelling through a window is so good. If you’re the opposing team and you hear that, you’re fucked.

If you’ve never played this before, you’ve missed out. The servers aren’t up anymore and we did get a sequel that sucked. Not nearly as fun as they first but they tried and that’s all that matter. Watch the video below and read some comments by my fellow squad mates from this game.

SPAWN KENO!
 
kind of odd that the greatest MP game ever (in leftys opinion) is rated #32. i guess he doesnt value MP that much

i agree 100% with everything he said about the game. for me its a toss up between COD 4 and R6Vegas for #1 MP game
