Double Dragon takes me back. punch kick punch kick, funny screaming noise when you died. Amusing fat bold bosses. Crazy stuff.

Top 5 will take some thinking for me.

hmm....

despite my apparent nerdiness, I didn't own a games console until I was about 10 or something so that rules me out of retro gaming, i think.

nevertheless...

zelda: a link to the past
cm97/98
goldeneye (four way multiplayer was awesome)
quake2 (online, of course)

i can't think of a fifth.

Just over 4000 is mine (really just over. it was like 4001 or something). I'm stupidly good at tetris. The Gamecube I got for a tenner from my mate has a gameboy player on it. Haven't got used to using a gamecube controller yet though.

Stops getting faster after 300 lines so it's more a test of endurance than anything else.

Oids on the Atari St was one I forgot. That was Super Ace.

On the BBC apart from chuckie egg there was Space Adventure which was fun, Dare Devil Dennis which was genius and a few others which I'll have to think about. That was a long time ago and I was well little.
