  4. love galaga, but the star wars vector game, the cock pit version was… INSANE!! and my favorite. S

  6. Congrats Brian- don’t know how you made it through workouts with one eye on the phone and on on the bar…but I guess its good practice for being a dad.

    CF Subway Series sounds awesome! Great idea for such a geographically small metro area with a number of affiliates.

    I may be a bit younger than some, the video game industry had evolved considerably since Galaga…I humbly submit Toejam and Earl as best game ever.

  8. Brian, congrats! He looks adorable and the proud papa adoration is very clear on your face.

    Galaga, of course! Right on Jim and Deb.

  9. Mario Kart (I was always Yoshi) and a Coleco game where you dressed up a character, then placed him/her in different scenes.

    So much awesome news on today’s page! I’m happy to see the nickname Ben Bierkraft caught on!

    Apologies for my own shameless self promotion, but I have been nominated for a prestigious literary prize (not really) and the winner will be determined by popular vote. Check it out here:http://folded.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/vote-for-3cheers-spring-2010/

  10. What a beautiful baby, congrats Brian and Lorraine!

    Hard to pick an all-time favorite… maybe a tie between Tetris and Super Mario Brothers 3!

  11. Hmm, in no particular order:

    Grand Theft Auto 3 – It doesnt seem like as big a deal now, since 100 clones of it are released every year, but it defined a new era in games

    Final Fantasy VII – best JRPG ever

    Street Fighter II Championship Edition – Definitive version of the best beat-em-up ever

    Super Mario 3 – Epic, still can’t believe they fit all that on to an 8 bit cartridge

    Shadows of The Colossus – Beautiful, as much a piece of art as a video game.

  13. Favorite game hands down is Full Throttle. Includes the timeless line “That is not one of the many uses of meat.”

    Anyone else catch the US/Slovenia game? Ref stole it from US.

    Did some game theory analysis and US still advances if they beat Algeria unless England beats Algeria and then ties Slovenia. In which case it would be down to point spreads for determination of advancing.

  14. Really excited about the CrossFit Subway Series !!!

    Fav game (in the arcade, kids) was Punch Out.2nd place – Asteroid.I always sucked at all of them though.

    I miss you guys. Hope to be back soon.

  16. I don’t have favorites, and “video games” is a little vague, so I’m making a distinction between arcade, home gaming, and computer gaming.

    Arcade:I have fond memories of playing Centipede in the ice cream shop — where the better I did, the more it would melt.  Didn’t take long to start ordering milkshakes instead.

    Mrs. Pac Man – seems like every laundry shop has one, and I often stop and play when there’s time (or even if there isn’t).

    The Vector Star Wars Game — the trench run was HUGE in my laundry mat when I was a kid.

    Dragon’s Lair — amazing graphics, don’t know if many people know if this game, but it kicked ass and ate most of my quarters.

    Console Games:ColecoVision: Donkey Kong Jr. Commedore 64: Dig Dug

    NES: Adventures of Zelda and Metroid. 

    SEGA Master System: Shinobi, Phantasy Star 

    Amiga: marble madness   Apple IIe: Load Runner, Oregon Trail

    DOS: Zork, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Kings Quest Series, Secret of Monkey Island Series, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, Wolfenstein, Star Wars: Tie Fighter, War Craft I and II

    Windows: War Craft III, Star Craft, Unreal Tournament, Half Life, Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines.

    Apple Macintosh: Marathon

    OS X: Portal 

    XBox 360: Mass Effect 1 and 2 (totally addicted to this game, and can’t wait for 3).

    Sony PS 3: Batman: Arkam Asylum, and the soon to be released Portal 2.

  18. Aw, Brian, let’s go way back to Pong and Atari Pitfall. Same year as Raiders of the Lost Ark. Never got the timing right jumping over the alligators.Welcome home Charlie!

  22. Brian, congrats. Welcome to the CFSBK Dad’s club–just in time for Father’s Day!

    My favorite home video game of all time are Tecmo Bowl and SUper Tecmo Bowl

    My favorite Arcade game is Street Fighter 2

  26. Can’t go wrong with Metal Gear Solid or the Super Smash Bro’s series. My college roomie and I played a lot of Left 4 Dead as well.

  27. muscle-ups are awesome! Ive been dying to try them out, and now that i have i don’t want to get off the rings.

    Oh man thanks guys for the congrats, oh and I actually got a “Golden Hammer”!

    I didn’t know their were so many gamers at crossfit … i have to give props to Jeremy? i think, Shadow of the Colossus/Beautiful. but did you ever play ICO?

    1st person shooter:GoldenEye 007HaloCall of Duty 4 MW

    RPG:Final Fantasy VIIThe legend of dragoonXenogears
