My primary use of my Xbox is to enjoy the modification that lets me play NES games.

Atari
NES
Sega
Playstation
Gamecube
Xbox
PC

Lately I've been chilling with the original Knights of the Old Reepublic on my Xbox, Civilization III on my PC, and the occasional Big Team Battle in Halo 2 on Xbox Live.
I must firmly recommend all of the things I just mentioned. Quality gaming right there.

Playstation 2
PC

I got the Playstation 2 from a friend for free but he didn't give me any games so I'm stuck with just the machine.

Ooh. Great game there. Playing light side or dark side this time around?

Have you played Knights of the Old Republic II yet? I received it for Christmas . . . still haven't finished the game yet.

Seeing as gaming is my love, I figured I'd chime in. The first console I ever owned was a Nintendo 64. I used to only ever get a chance to play the Super Nintendo and original Nintendo at a friend's house... but the N64 changed that. Currently I own:

Xbox
Playstation 2
Gamecube
Gameboy Advance
Nintendo DS

And a high end PC for all of my gaming needs. With school and website stuff, I find a lot less time these days to actually play games (there's at least 5 purchases I can think of that I made within the 6 months that I've only played a few minutes of... I very much look forward to the summer when I can't back to gaming!) There's also a large handful on my "must buy" list that I would have purchased, had I not been so busy.

I used to play "Where In Time Is Carman Sandiego" on that console! It was so FUN!

Haha! I loved that game!

Carmen Sandiego computer games were always favorites of mine.

Ooh, yeah. Carmen Sandiego was always a fun game to play . . . though I remember our computer often crashing whenever we attempted to run the program.

The version we have now is prone to crashes... but that's because it was made for Windows... 98? It might even be 95 actually! Haven't picked up a new one recently.

Super Smash Bro. Awesomeness.

Paper Mario . . . ooh, I need to purchase that game one of these days. When I finally get off the ToO, that is.

I think I can safely say no regardless of the video to which you are referring. Haven't seen any video since The Incredibles.

The video on the website of the people who did this. It's pretty cool. Even has a segment of footage which shows the guys in the workshop making it. The show hosts also play Mario with it.

Nope, haven't seen it. Can you send me the link?

Hard to believe anyone could do well playing with that huge controller.

PS2: James Bond - Agent Under Fire, I-Ninja, Enter The Matrix, Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarding, Super Bombad Racing, Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Medal Of Honor - Rising Sun, Rise To Honor, and the two official LOTR games - TT and ROTK.

Gotta love any and all Mario games. Well, most of them anyway. Anyone played Mario Party 6?

I never played LotR: TTT. However, I did purchase RoTK shortly after it was released. Certainly not the best game I've ever played but I enjoyed the RPG-like quality to it in being able to upgrade the characters to some extent. I read it was an improvement from TTT, but having not played TTT, I can't really make any further comment.

As much as I love Mario I don't keep up with games too well. Maybe someday.

There just isn't enough time in the day for everything. We should have 48-hour days, maybe then you'd find the time to keep up with the Mario games.

At any rate, my brother received Mario Party 6 for Christmas. If I'm not mistaken, it was the first Mario game ever to be released with a microphone. Very cool, indeed. Several of the games you play involve the use of the mic, in which you can answer a question or give a command. It's awesome.

They didn't do too well. Here's the link. It makes you watch a commercial first. http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.a ... o_key=9036

If the link doesn't work, go to www.attackoftheshow.com, click on videos up at the top, and scroll down the one that says Gigantic NES controller. Right now it is near the bottom of the first page. It will be on the second page soon, as they put up new videos every week.

I play NES on my XBOX too. Hey Top, what mod chip do you have? I use an X-ecuter 3.

I'm not totally sure, to be honest. A friend of mine did all the work, I just play the games.

EDIT: I take that back. My friend found a way to do it without using a mod chip.
