Yeah I miss SMB...man that downright rocked back in the day.

These days it's either Flight Simulator on the computer, or war games on my comp or xBox.

I hate video games, I think they are a wast of time, and they contribute to the lazyness of the peoply in this country.

Oh boy, here it goes.

Video games do not contribute to the laziness of people in this country, stereotypes and esteem shattering generalizations contribute to the ignorance of the people in this country.

Sorry. By all means hate video games, that's cool. Just don't try to blame something as benign as video games for an inherent problem in society.

Computers And trucks cause cancer, becuase I say so...

Oh and for more fuel , sports games suck.

I will agree, those people who are hardcore on sportgames waste a LOt of $$$ that could be spend on their truck because a new game comes out every year that is "better' but is only good when it comes out because the sports are constantly changing. then when you want to get rid of the "old outdated" one, it only resells for about $10... I've found it nice though, every once in a while to get out a mega-old game and play it. It can be fun when you don't play it nonstop-which kills it in the long run because it is practically engraved in your brain by then.

Video games are cool in moderation- play them with your friends, then come home and spend time on your truck

Haha that's why I own four games, no more, and won't get any more.

I spend too much time on FTE to ever play them lol. jk.

I'm definetly for taking the money from games and buying truck parts. Maybe I don't need that xBox after all.......

There are about 3 or 4 games I play on the computer every once in a while, but my favorite is John Deere American Farmer. Second would be Delta Force, Black Hawk Down, but mostly because of who I'm shootin at.

Sega Genisis baby!!! That was my favorite old school system. Now I play most of my games on my computer. And no I am not addicted to them at all. I am playing WoW on a friend's friend's account. He keeps telling me I have to buy the game because that free account won't be there forever. I told him when the account is no longer there, I will be done playing the game because I refuse to pay a minimum $130 a year to play this game. Forget that.

So no, I like video games and most younger guys do. Heck, my girlfriend likes to play video games.

You could DL a NES Emulator, ZSNES is a very good one, and then search the web for ROMs, including SMB .

i hate you 76 lol i almost bought a 76 F100, with a 390. It was an extended cab long bed and the same blue color as yours. The guy wanted 6000 for it, and my dad wasnt going to pay that much for it. We offerd him 4 and he didnt take it and ended up trading the truck into a dealership for a heck of a lot less then that. I wanted that truck so bad, but yah it didnt happen. I agree on the price of games, 50 bucks is a lot of diesel, and 300 is a new paint job almost. Id much wrather spend it on something i need, MY TRUCK then sumthing temporary like video games.
