can anyone tell me whats the movie called in the beginig

@calltoadventure came out great! I'm not a huge video gamer myself, but there are two games that suck me in. The Nancy Drew games and Sims for PC. There are some days where I've spent hours on end with Sims. It's scary.

Great job Heather! Hey have you seen "The king of Kong... a fistful of quarters" i love it!

[metalmonkey666]

i know closet thing we got to that was the Street Fighter IV tournaments when it came out a few months ago. Thats is one of the best fighters ever made.

normal person 2-3 weeks to finish and then gamers 2 days... man people in the 90s are slow

that chicago street fighter guy is full of himself

I wish arcades were as popular as they once were. The competitive spirit in there is overwhelming, 10 or more guys crowding around watching two guys fighting off in MvC or SF or something... Can't get that anywhere else...

Lol 5 cents games wish they were as cheap as before...
