I think we've both mentioned Captain Bible in this sort of thing before, Azier. But what system did you play SW on, by the way? NES? And also, I have to know how you came across CB/why you liked it/how much you played it. You're like the only other person in the world who remembers that thing.

I had both Spiritual Warfare and Captain Bible for the PC.

Since I didn't own a console at the time, and my PC game collection was limited, I pretty much played what I did have all the time.

Actually, those two were personal favorites, as they were some of the few Christian games that didn't suck. Bible Adventures was horrid. :grin:

Megaman X is one game my cousin used to play a long time ago. I loved watching him play it. It's also the sole reason that I got the Megaman X Collection.

And back when my father played video games (Sega Genesis), there were a series of games that we always played and now give me nostalgia:

Desert Strike
This one fighting game (with one of the stages having a fan that could get a character stuck in it)
A Lion King game
An Alladin game

The game that gives me the most nostalgia would be this one Goofy game. I loved the night setting. It seemed very mysterious to me and very atmospheric. I remember these yellow and green mushrooms. I also remember that in leter levels, night would start turing into dawn. I loved that.

Oo, just thought of another one! Bases Loaded, for the NES! In no other game can you have players named "Norkus." None.

I have fond memories of several games. A lot of them were games I played with my friends when I was much, much younger.
Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt for the NES
Sonic 2, Bubsy, Lion King, Earthworm Jim, Ecco the Dolphin, and Ecco the Dolphin: Tides of Time for the Genesis
Some Mario game for the Gameboy(the first one where Wario was the villain, I think) and Kirby's Dreamland
Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VIII, Tomb Raider, Pandemonium 2, Darkstalkers, and Bloody Roar for the Playstation
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64

Bible Adventures is one of the worst games I've ever seen. Joshua - also by Wisdom Tree - actually rocked pretty hard as a puzzle game.

Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Columns, Super Hang On, Sonic the Hedgehog
