A better qualified doctor than Dr. Oz?

I didn’t have a RAZR, but had the slimmer KRZR, and after that I had an Alias 2. After that I used various budget Android phones until I got an S5. Then I switched to iPhones.

Gun to my head, if I had to pick one—just one game that is my all time favorite game ever, this is the game I would have to pick. It has so much good going for it. I own it on different platforms, last time I played through it, it was the iOS version, but this PS1 copy is my original.

I don’t currently have a physical copy of Halo 3, but I do have this, so I’m going to use it in its place. Halo 3 was the first game in the series that I played, and trying to go back to older FPS games became nearly impossible because of that. I don’t think I need to say any more about it.

I think this is a default pick for many a retro game enthusiast, but it’s just that good! There’s very little to say about Super Mario 3 that hasn’t already been said. There’s a lot of games that have more nostalgia, but you can’t deny a classic.

When I was a lot more active in collecting games, I would sometimes buy a Japanese version if it was substantially cheaper than the US, like this one. Capcom are the kings of the beat ‘em up genre, and this was an arcade game that combined a few RPG elements. IMO, it’s a must play! Check it out!

The original 1984 Ghostbusters movie is one of my favorites of all time. This game is the closest thing to a third movie with all of the original characters. It’s not exactly perfect, the gargoyles in the graveyard can be a little annoying, but the voice acting and story are fantastic.

Next up is Atari’s port of Williams’ 1981 arcade game. Where their version of Defender was decent , this is way better! The only thing I dislike is that you need both controllers for full functionality. The game was rereleased with the title Defender II, probably a trademark issue. I don’t know.

Okay, 6 likes to my first post, so 6 games (so far.) Here’s a game that sells for around $150-$200 and is actually fun. The high price is probably because Game Grumps played it a few times. It’s kinda like mini golf on some really wild drugs. Wacky fun for all ages. I give it a 4 out of 5.

This sounds like fun. Have at it people.
