of course, Ocelot is the best fictional character ever devised in my opinion. And Shinkawa-san often jokes that he's really good at drawing old man lol 
, but the truth is there are many other people (young men, women, children and machines that he draws equally brilliant so nothing is out of his artistic grasp. I have a couple of his art books and will scan them when I manage to purchase a big enough scanner so I will definitely share those scans here when they become available. In the meantime here's a shot of the back of my limited edition t-shirt that was released to coincide with the Peace Walker video game release and has Shinkawa's art on the entire back of the shirt:
Thanks for noticing and appreciating his work!
My other passion: video games from the 80's
I have to tell you: I have a passion for the video games from the 80's. It is the reason why I downloaded and installed a few years ago the MAME emulator which allows us to play Roms of arcade games. Why do I love games from this period ? Because they rem...
Golden Axe was the bomb!! And don't forget the other 4-player game Gauntlet
I loved going over to a relative's house and playing Gauntlet with the other kids for HOURS as the parents chatted and played Mah Jong. My favorite Gauntlet character was the elf. Cheers, Anthony This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2010-12-27 1...

For me it's.......
The Legend of Zelda and Metal Gear Solid all the way! Both series saw their birth shortly after I was born myself (84) so they've literally accompanied me throughout my lifetime. The legend of Zelda was first released in 1986 while Metal Gear saw the ligh...
Thanks Filip.
I played several versions of Zelda with my Game Boy and my DS. Great games ! Fr.Xavier
You're welcome,
I've played of course a lot of the games you listed extensively and really liked them, but when it comes to picking the ones that left the deepest and longest lasting impression it was the aforementioned two in my case. Best, Filip
I can tell you like Metal Gear just
by looking at your avatar. The guy is amazing artist even though he can only be good at drawing old man. Best Tyler

Thanks for the memories...
I still have the Commodore Amiga 500 (in its box) stored away. I played MANY of the games you mentioned. I used to break my joystick regularly pushing it left and right rapidly for those track and field games. I really liked those dungeon style games wher...
you're taking me back!
Zaxon, Missle Command, Dragon's Lair....and of course Track and Field!
My favorites were
Joust, qBert and QIX. They were a bit offbeat but quite fun. When I was a teenager I oversaw the arcade in a private club, great job because I had all the keys. Fun times. JerryW
Oh boy...
foversta, I just love Tetras one and two and Dr Mario. Years ago, I found that I was spending too much time playing that darn game and decided to put an end to the madness - I intentionally broke my Tetras game card. There was such a relief and freedom fr...
awesome post...thanks for the memories..
DigDug..awesome...you pretty much listed all my favorites...all this brings back the dark arcade hall at the local mall.. I also found that the music that accompany these games were well thought out. Catchy and not annoying. THANK YOU so much...
Classic video games
Wow foversta, great post! All these video games brings back some wonderful childhood memories. I still have the Atari 2600 stored away in a closet, maybe will have to bring it out of retirement and hook it up and play a few of these classic games. Happy H...
