Speaking of playing videogames in the library... Outside of the iconic Oregon Trail, my school had another game that seemed to teach the lesson of "survival of the fittest"... where you control a fish and try to avoid bigger fish and prey on the smaller ones. I can't recall the name of this PC game, though... Anyone know what it is? |

I remember the first time I played Bionic Commando. And how different and awesome it was, totally blew my 6 year old mind. I would find myself just swinging around the first couple levels and not caring about progressing forward. It is still one of my top 5 NES games. When i heard they were remaking it for xbla and making a current gen sequel, I was on board no questions asked. |

Shark! where you eat the small fish to grow and then nibble on the shark's tail to take him down. More recently Feeding Frenzy appears to be almost exactly the same. |

My earliest memory of playing games was the ColecoVision...my parents had one before I was born, and quite a few games for it. The first one I remember playing was probably either Cabbage Patch Kids or Mr. Do! but I will never forget my aunt's playing style on Lady Bug (a Pac-Man clone). She'd start getting chased by a bug (ghost, basically) and she'd start moving that controller the way she was trying to go, screaming at the top of her lungs. I've never heard anyone else scream at a game like she did. Other ColecoVision memory: I was terrified of the dealer in Ken Uston's Blackjack/Poker. I was maybe 3 or 4 and I'd hide behind the couch when my dad played. For reference sake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icubKTt9iPE |
