    Mario Golf: World Tour X Tourney

    So I'm starting a series of private tournaments in Mario Golf called the X Tourneys. They will be somewhat like the official tournaments but with some rule changes (coins are enabled, for example). I'm making these just because I like the smaller scale of competition, although I am hoping for a...

    Anyone own/know these games?

    No the space invaders and q-bert games are not the same and the weekend play pack is definitely not it.

    What are you going to school for?

    I'm taking Software Engineering. I'll be done in 3 years (hopefully). I enjoy it and it fits me well, I'm well ahead of even 2nd year material (I've been programming since I was 8, that should say a lot).

    My family is in a financial hole (we might lose our house)

    Sorry to hear that you and your family are having trouble. I'll give my best advice (I'm in university so I may not be too experienced, but alot of this advice comes from my parents). - Getting an education is usually worth alot, so don't quit. But keep in mind that some areas of study are...

    How many games do you own?

    Btw sorry about my "arbitrary restrictions" but I wanted a rule that would have a fine line. I knew people would debate "do download-only games count", "do VC games count", "do the games on my smartphone count", "does gmod count" etc. So I made a rule that has a fine line. And even legally, you...

    Any reason you're not buying more games?

    I'm buying 1 or 2 games a year now, whereas I was buying 5-10 a few years ago. But I'm older and can afford a ton more. I'm not buying many games because I am enjoying replaying the many (100+) games I already have, and I could spend the money on other things I don't have.

    First game with swearing was made by Nintendo?!?!?

    Maybe now it's not offensive to most people but in '81 people were quite a bit less tolerant to that. Especially since a lot of young kids were playing the game. The point is that Nintendo would never do this in their games now (maybe there are some exceptions, but probably not games targeted at...

    First game with swearing was made by Nintendo?!?!?

    Yup, you heard it right -- the first game with swearing was made by Nintendo! It's an arcade game from 1981 called Sky Skipper. In it you fly a bi-plane bombing gorillas that look somewhat like Donkey Kong. There is a video here: http://youtu.be/_hG6Z-kHw9I Look at 2:54... The gorilla is...

    Things in the Mario series that made you upset/disappointed

    - they didn't make a golf game for 10 years, but that doesn't matter, we have World Tour - new character/enemy design is too complicated, can't they make simple stuff like they used to (goombas, koopas, etc) - Super Mario Galaxy 2 didn't have a very good plot - It bugs me that with Super Mario...

    How many games do you own?

    How many games do you own? For me about 100. You must have a physical copy for it to count. No downloads, even official ones.

    Anyone own/know these games?

    About 10 years ago I had a series of games on my PC that I can't find any info about on the web. They were 3D enhanced remakes of classics - Pac-Man, Tetris, Q*bert, and Space Invaders. If anybody knows these games or can find information, screenshots, videos I would love to see these. Details...
