According to legend, most games out when The Legend of Zelda originally was released were named after their protagonist, not the chick you were trying to save from evil thieves gone pork. Thus, for a time, a lot of people thought the main character's name was Zelda, proving again that people don't RTFM... ever!

Trade Wars

Spent hours on this over dial-up back in 1997 to our local BBS. I think this may be a newer version. I seemed to remember a green and black monochrome title screen but I could be wrong.
So much mothafuckin' this. TW2002 was the goods.

I would spend nearly every weekend I could at my friends house overnight, just to stay up all night playing this game.

Game Center CX: An outstanding TV show featuring a Japanese comedian attempting to beat classic (often very challenging) games. Every episode is gold (and there are many that feature Japan-only games for the curious), and you can find a ton athttp://gamingcx.com

Reminds me a lot of Nobunaga's Ambition... played the shit out of that game growing up. Still pop it in my emulator now and again when I have about 16.5 hours to kill.

So funny to watch that ghost and ghouls video and see just how impossible games were back then.
