When I was very young, I can't remember when, I used to visit family abroad and when we went to the beach there, we would sometimes go down to the arcade there and play Sunset Riders. It was my brother, my cousins and I and the 4-player arcade version was perfect for us. We would play so much, but we were so bad at it. Then, after the first time we had played it on arcade, my dad bought the game for our Sega Mega Drive and my brother and I loved playing the game as much as possible. We played co-op, versus, single player taking turn. We finished the game several times and we had our favorite characters from the go. Billy was my favorite and my brother would play Cormano, no questions asked. Always like that. We would try different difficulties, try different ways of playing the game. It wasn't our favorite, but for some reason, it's the one I most associate with having fun with my brother. To this day I listen to the music of that game and feel a tug in my heart, thinking back at the days when I would play this game with my brother, having the best fun ever. Having this game again would be amazing, especially if there was the chance of playing it online with my brother, since we live far from each other. I believe this game never got the love it deserved and perhaps a new generation of gamers would appreciate it more.
My Grandmother had a super nintendo at her house for us to play on when we spend weekends there. I wasn't very good at anything, but we used to play this alot.

Armored Core: Last Raven Portable
Armored Core: Last Raven PortableIn the wake of the now defunct Navis's failed attempt to control recovered ancient weapons technology, the world has been left in tatters. Looking to consolidate power, the Corporations (Crest, Mirage, and Kisaragi) have merged into one super-corporation known as "The Alliance". Fed up with corporate rule and oppression, and seeing a newfound threat in The Alliance, a Raven known as Jack-O (an important but minor character from Armored Core: Nexus) forms an organization of Ravens known as "Vertex" from the ashes of the fallen Raven's Ark. After rallying a sizable force of fellow Ravens to his cause, Jack-O declares that he will launch an all-out war on the Alliance in 24 hours. Leading the opposing force, a Raven named Evangel has rallied just as many Ravens to the Alliance and is preparing to fight Jack-O head on. Making matters all the more complicated, many Ravens have turned into independent warlords, setting out on their own after the collapse of Raven's Ark. To finish this volatile situation: you. You are approached by both sides seeking your cooperation. Will you side with the Corporations, or assist Vertex in causing their downfall? You have a choice to make, Raven.

Wolfenstein
WolfensteinWolfenstein is the direct sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein RPG. It featured a "re-imagined" disguised dark-haired B.J. Blazkowicz, retaining the unshaven look seen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and dressed in civilian clothes rather than his usual military uniform. The game mainly consists of the player shooting his way through hordes of different types of Nazis, ranging from normal soldier to ninjas. To deal with the large amount of enemies, the player has access to many typical WWII-weapons like the German MP40 or K98 rifle. In addition, during the course of the game he finds the medallion and learns four powers. While at first entering the Veil only allows him so see enemies more clearly and use strange flying creatures as bombs, he is later able to slow down time, surround himself with a protective shield or make himself stronger. However, the medallion's powers drain its energy, which needs to be refilled at power-spots that are nearly invisible in the real world.
