    I traded my copy of Pokemon Fire Red with a bunch of legitimate shinies to my buddy for this game back in middle school. Worthwhile trade.

    Was going to downvote this, because i hate those “you’re old, feel it! more! MORE! FEEL MORE OLD!” posts.

    But then i changed my mind. You know what? Time for the next generation to start feeling the pain. Have fun genZ. or milenials or whatever.

    Remember having multiple full local sessions going while sitting outside of Best Buy waiting for the Wii launch. The overnight DS sessions ended up being more fun than the Wii launch titles

    This is my second favorite Mk game after the original one. I played a lot online. We organized matches in the IRC. At some point I sold my cart and played with a flash cart and a hacked ROM to play in tracks not available in the legit game. Some players went crazy when they saw it lol

        I bought a DS with my 2nd paycheck ever, when I still lived with parents and a McJob made me pretty much a millionaire.

        It still feels like future tech despite being obsolete AF

    My favorite Mario Kart game. Shout outs to CTGP Nitro, a romhack that keeps the entire original game intact, but optionally adds dozens of custom tracks.

    Ah, the memories of playing Mario Kart with my friends… Those party’s where fun.

    I also miss those times where we could bootup a game and play splitscreen. I had an old PC back then which my father upgraded once in a while with parts he got gifted. We didn’t have the money to buy a good PC ourself.

    Man what a fun using project64. Me and the guys played Conker’s Bad fur Day so much!

    I loved this level of graphics. Enough for cool 3D stuff that could be nice and smooth, but no expectations for or effort spent on absurd levels of hyper-realism
