Apparently, after checking the Wikipedia article, we discovered that there are a lot of different ways to play Wall Ball. Some people have no bounce rules and some have rules that you must bounce before it hits the wall. Reading comments on the above YouTube reveal that it seems to change from school to school and there’s a lot of contention over who’s game is the purest. We don’t care if you played a classic set of rules or you had a crazy home-court set, we want you to post them below so we can try them out. Our spankin’ new red rubber ball just came in the mail and want to try them all out.

The Commodore 64 is an Epic Win for bringing home computing and games to the masses. Not only was it stand-alone as a game console, but if you were savvy enough you could also program on it.

Although it was all a simple game of strategy and memorizing punch patterns, there was something magical about Punch-Out. We remember having competitions with our friends to see how far we could get without continuing and that final day when someone got as far as Mike Tyson and then we sat around all day trying to beat him. Then cheats and walkthroughs came out detailing how to beat each character and ruined it all…

This guy is such a pro, he plays the entire game, only getting hit once in the 3rd round by Tyson (Warning: It’s 33 minutes long):

Tetherball was the most epic of all playground games! Sure, the tall kids always had a bit of an advantage, but that only provided the shorter kids with incentives to learn different tactics and make up home-court rules that would even out the playing field. For instance, our court had home-court rules about ropesies and when they were appropriate, open hand versus fist hitting, high angle shots, and touching the pole. What were your home-court rules?

The Kuribo’s Shoe was one of the best power-ups on SMB3! We really liked the way you could skip along, low to the ground if you held the directional pad. The only thing that sucked about the Kuribo’s Shoe was that you couldn’t leave the level with it such as other power-ups like the Tanuki Suit and Frog Suit.
