Hi. Brand new here, as I'm sure you can tell. Been playing games as long as I can remember. Figured this might be a good place to meet some like-minded folks. I could drone on and on about myself, but instead I decided to talk about my 5 favorite games. I figure this will give everyone an idea of what I'm about when it comes to games.

5. Virtua Tennis, Dreamcast, 2000
I've always been a big fan of sports, and thus, a big fan of sports games. Virtua Tennis is easily one of my favorites. One of the few sports games I have enjoyed playing both alone and against others. The single player mode is challenging and lengthy enough to keep me interested and the game play is great to enjoy with friends.

4. Super Monaco GP, Sega Genesis, 1990
Here we go, another sports game. I promise this list will have some other genres. I had to include this because it is one of the first games that really wowed me with it's scope. The career mode, where you have to go from team to team to reach the top, was the first time I had really experienced a game where you could do a career. I'll admit that the game play leaves something to be desired as it is not realistic at all, but the hours I spent trying to reach Team Madonna (and the memory of the ridiculous passwords required to continue your game) mean I have to include this on the list.

3. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Playstation 2, 2004
I had to include at least one from the series, and since this is the one I have probably spent the most time on, I chose it. I have enjoyed all the games in this series, all the way back to PS1. This is the one that had the most features and things to kill time with. I consider the story here to be the best from the series as well.

2. Super Mario Brothers 3, NES, 1990
Widely considered one of the best Nintendo Games ever and who am I to argue? Innovative, fun to play, and with graphics that were the best you could expect from 8 bit (although that mattered little to me when I was playing this at 9 years old).

1. Dragon Warrior, NES, 1989
The first game I was addicted to. I remember many a nights being dragged away from it at bedtime. I still found plenty of time to play it, and eventually the Dragonlord was defeated and I could start all over again!

So, that's a list of my faves. Most who read this, if anyone does, probably couldn't care less, but if you do, great. I will try to come up with some interesting things to write about here and hope to find some like minded folks to have some nice conversation with.
