Obiwan Kenobi writes "Gamespy has a new article up on the Top Ten All Time Rarest Video Games. This wacky list includes such gems as Chase the Chuck Wagon and Bubble Bath Babes, the only NES game with nudity (square nipples, anyone?). Makes me wonder what the top ten rarest PC games are..."

    Oh wait, they haven't changed since then, so I guess they don't qualify as rare. Unless you are talking about the number of people who play them. :)

    I've been sort of acquiring a collection of older computers, trying to get them to work and on the Internet. When I tell people that I collect computers, they often ask "Why?" To which I reply, "Some people collect spoons."

  13. I think that was my favorite game ever by SuperKendall · · Score: 3, Funny

    I loved a lot of things about that game, how you'd have to randomly discover what controls would do for you in certain situations - like kicking a gaurd in "a most effective spot" to put it politley, or even better when you are trapped inside of the vehicle in the arena! Few moments in gaming have brought me such glee as that, though Half-Life came pretty close. I also loved the ending, possibly the best ending I've ever experienced in a game.

    I played it on an Atari ST though, not a PC... and it was still called "Another World" at that point as I remember.

    I thought the "dude" in Metroid was always assumed to be a woman?

    Besides, most guys I know have nipples, too.
