My buddy sent this to me yesterday.  It. Brought back a lot of memories:

https://x.com/Xbox_Nostalgia/status/2071441971202412807

We used to play NHL Hitz on the GameCube all the time.  It's one of my favorite gaming memories for whatever reason.  Even @Grindspine was in on it.  Everything was perfect, in my opinion, especially the Limp Bizkit Air Ride intro song (Rollin Rollin Rollin ... what?!)

I will forever hear the announcers call when I chose my players:
konowalchuk, Bondra, Jagggrrrrrr

Did you play NHL Hitz 2002?  Do you have good memories? Post it up!

PC Gaming and Platform / Steam Summer Sale 2026

IT is going on right now... The Steam Summer Sale for 2026!  These were always exciting times for me in the past... especially back in the 2010-2014 time frame. I didn't see a lot of good deals that I wanted this year.  However, I ended up buying Overload (from the makers of Descent) for a few dollars.

Have you checked it out?  Found anything that you like?   If you purchase, post it up!

LOL did you try it @targetrasp?  I unwrapped mine... my son was like "are you going to play it?!?!"  I put it back in the cabinet.  He was like "come on... whatever" LOL  :))

@mastermario both of those arcade games were awesome.   There was a PS3 version of NBA Jam back in 2010 that was pretty good. 

NFL Blitz is probably one of my most played arcade games ... easy top 10

I prefer the arcades that have a cover (like $10-20) and all of the game are free. There's a Cidercade here in Houston (an arcade that has a bunch of alcoholic ciders on tap) with a cover of $12 for all-you-can-play, and there's an arcade in downtown Indy that doesn't even charge a cover, they just ask that you buy a beer hah.

Goldeneye is brutal with my Pro controller and I'm not sure if it's better on a different controller. Maybe I could get used to it at some point, but it's hard for me to even get through the first mission with the way you have to look around.

@SpartanEvolved and I are hoping a DK64 mod comes out, like the one we recently discovered on the PC for Super Mario 64, that would allow a co-op mode so all of the DK64 characters could load into the same map at the same time.
