no dear. That one doesn't move around does it?
It was the full box arcade game and you'd have a shotgun. Very cool. I miss that game now.

For some reason I am suddenly reminded of this: Is that the one where the guy from GTV or whatever asks if the woman complaining had even played the game, and she smugly proclaims she hasn't? Yes. It's right there in the video. The best part about that is when gamers started going to the amazon page for the book she advertised in the segment and rating it one star, while claiming that they hadn't actually read it. Now I want to play Mass Effect. I had to laugh at the "kids can't tell the game from reality" bit. If that's true, which I doubt, it's not the game's fault. You should play it anyway. It's an absolutely fantastic series, and one of the best to come out in the past several years. My mother used to always use the "can't tell fiction from reality" line on me when I was growing up. That always had the inevitable result of me wanting to punch her in the face for insulting my intelligence. Of course, once I was no longer a christian I just turned it around on her. Something along the lines of "I guess somebody should forbid you from reading the bible, since you obviously can't tell fiction from reality." When she wasn't using that argument, she pulled out the "THE DEVIL" argument. I was very sheltered from most pop-culture growing up. I remember there was a Jurassic Park themed game but I don't think it had you eating other dinos. It was one of those that moved round though when you were about to hit something. My uncle used to have a Mortal-Kombat style Jurassic park fighting game for the PS1. |

 At any rate, here's what I was talking about. The seat inside moves around a little I think. It shook too. Still not 'dinos eating dinos' tho. But at least I fucking found it! Also not a shotgun... I thought it had been. Ahhh this is what happens when I was like 10 and trying to remember things from back then |

Speaking of shotguns, we desperately need a Hobo With a Shotgun video game.

It's an on-rail shooter. They usually only had one or two in the big arcades of the arcade boom because they were so expensive.
