[MalcolmXcellent]

California games! OH SHIT, you just brought back some memories! Gotta find some gameplay footage.

[jowga]

Yep Female Gamers still hot!!!!

[eetomit]

California Games. Awesome!! Played it in yellow black colors on my 8088. Good times...

[muslimknight100]

iam abig fan of ur vids :) greetings from egypt

[cherubicwindigo]

@muslimknight100 Thanks for being my fan!

[Luigi84289]

You gave up your nes? I'd sell my soul first. Best console EVAR.

[Luigi84289]

My n64, I don't even remember how I came to no longer possess it. Probably had to pawn it to pay rent one month ages ago.

[kazxena]

Oh oh where do I start, my amiga 500 and games, my copy of Vandal hearts and Luigi's mansion. My game gear and games with master system converter. Original final fantasy games for the Gameboy.......why oh why. I have learned my lesson and now keep my stuff.

[PsimanUK]

Probably my original Sega Master System and 'Y's: The Vanished Omens'. Loved that game and the console and am really gutted that I sold them to upgrade to the Mega Drive. I wish I'd just waited and saved up a bit longer for it. The first couple of months with my Mega Drive were pretty crappy anyway as I only had 'Altered Beast' for it. That'll teach me for having to have something on release day regardless of whether I can really afford it or not.

[DIAPERGRAVY52]

I still have it all :D!!

[IMightBeAGeek]

Oh my gosh ;__; I know how you feel! I lent my copy of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons to someone as a kid and never got it back, been looking for a copy ever since.

[hangshinigami]

DUDE I WISH I KEEP ALL THE DRAGON QUEST GAME I HAD I HAD TO SELL IT JUST TO GET THE LATEST DQ

[LPN00b]

sega master system.



[bornwisedistruction]

I wish i still had my Atari lynx yeah California games came with it soooo fun oh and my 3DO which got thrown out like it was trash thx Mom!

[cherubicwindigo]

@bornwisedistruction Noooooooo! Mom's are like that sometimes, lol.

[nekroneko]

What was you favourite event? BMX was quite amusing and it was always nice to throw a huge frisbee toss but I think the half pipe got the most time from me. I still loathe the rollerskating.

[cherubicwindigo]

@nekroneko Surfing! I even liked getting eaten by the shark.

[iMrCtown]

Wish I still had my backwards compatible ps3

[cherubicwindigo]

@iMrCtown Ouch, that's something I wish I still had too.

[Logicfray]

@iMrCtown I'm lucky to have mine still running, hope i didn't just jinx it!

[oweeet]

@iMrCtown same :(

[nitturo]

(this one: watch?v=cRsdQcS6_WY )

[cherubicwindigo]

@nitturo Looks like fun! I've never seen that game before.

[nitturo]

@cherubicwindigo yes, it's a really exciting game, maybe the best shmup from Konami i know from 80's, and it was very weird why they only released it for MSX (and i know how rare is MSX there in US...) - and sorry sending you a link using SCC sound (only possible with Konami-SCC cartridges connected on the second slot) instead of AY (the same used on NES and ColecoVision): watch?v=NXs7C56y7Fs

[nitturo]

the game has 8 stages, which you can cross all in around 30 minutes (being skilled enough or using infinite lives! (like that cheat on holding left+right+y+select keys until the game starts ;) )) - there are hidden power-ups and passages around as well!

[nitturo]

@cherubicwindigo and some of the MSX-Konami games are really great - here is the first game from Hideo Kojima: watch?v=35x_b1AjQ_M - maybe i told you about this before? it's another msx-only game from Konami

[nitturo]

@cherubicwindigo i'm forgetting this: Maze of Galious (also released for NES) is a sequel from this Majou Densetsu

[nitturo]

Konami's games for MSX are very unique for me, specially Majou Densetsu

[citadelmontages]

When I was really young I picked up the game gear (sega), was and still is my favorite handheld ever, got another one a few years ago and let a kid play with it and when I got it back the screen had a huge crack in it, I was pissed off but not much I could have done.

[critter505]

Only kid on my block with a neo geo.....sold it for weed. Yes, I am an idiot.

[cherubicwindigo]

@critter505 At the time it probably seemed like a great idea. After the bag was gone that's when you start to regret. Lol ^_^

[critter505]

@cherubicwindigo lol, yeah. But, that's teenagers for ya.

[izaurralde]

*arrrghhhh* i kick myself for selling my SEGA Saturn and all the neat games i had on eBay *still.....hurts*

[OutOfMidian]

Cute video.

I used to trade in all PS1 games as a teen and now I'm looking for them all again... especially Final Fantasy IX and Broken Sword 2.

I think you can download California Games on Wii's Virtual Console, but it's the C64 version lol. Not sure if that's a good thing or not!

[cherubicwindigo]

@ScottLewisGamingBlog Before I played that event I had no idea what hacky sack was. Blew my mind.

[battlekruiser]

Earthbound was one of my first favorites. I never owned it, but a girl I had a crush on did. Even had my first kiss while playing it.

[cherubicwindigo]

@battlekruiser Awwwwwww! I actually got my first kiss from the boy who gave me my old NES. We are still friends, I can't believe all the years that have passed since then.

[battlekruiser]

@cherubicwindigo I think I was 8 or 9. She had kissed me on the cheek while I was exploring around the first town you come to. I asked her "what was that" and she replied "don't know, just wanted to try it. Then we went back to playing it when she did it again. Then I asked "why did you do it again" and she replied "I liked it the first time." :)

Which also reminds me: Tamagachi those were amazingly fun when they first came out. (she had those too)

[turtlebuttmudd]

I gave away my Super Nintendo along with Super Mario RPG in elementary school =CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC­CCCCCCCCC

[MoreDakka101]

for me it's a toss up between my complete BOXED C64 which only needed the monitor fixed or my first consol, the Atari 2600 which wasn't boxed or anything but had some awesome games.

If I happen to come across an extra NES I'll let you know. Same goes for California games... don't have an extra copy of that either

[shaurz]

My original Master System games... but I've now re-bought all the games I used to have plus and lot more.

[xeemo]

You can get on ebay right now and buy a refurbished nes console with california games for less than a new xbox 360 game. You should get on that. I mean...if the seller has good feedback there's little to nothing to worry about.

(pedro games is selling the console with tetris for 58 bucks including shipping. good seller. they put in a new 72 pin connector with every nes so it should be working like new. or if you look around i guarantee you could get one cheaper.)

[Boke11489]

I still wish I had my N64. So many fun times.

[BitHead1000]

Never played California games on NES, use to love it on the Atari Lynx though. BMX was the best! I'll keep an eye out for it.

[CrazyGamesDude]

Nice to see this tag keep going.  Nice vid.

[Ayomide345]

ahhhhh i wish i still had my nes and nintendo 64... i miss my gameboy advance too :(

[cherubicwindigo]

@Ayomide345 I learned later in life to hold onto stuff, I'm so glad I have my N64. I don't play it as much as my Xbox 360 but the N64 is special to me. It will be around in my house long after the next generation consoles.

[ushiuni82]

Omg the first thing i thought of was my nes! but not cali games. Castlevania 2 Simons quest!!! I know its awful but i loved that game..

[cherubicwindigo]

@ushiuni82 Those kinds of games become a part of you because it's a piece of your unspoiled youth. Those games didn't reel us in with their fancy graphics, they were just fun and got our minds and thumbs racing. Good times.

[ushiuni82]

@cherubicwindigo Games are amazing but when you are young they are just mind blowing! So do you think the youth of today have it better with there fancy graphics or do you think we had it better with our 8 bit of power!! (whatever happened to Bit)
