"Have a nice day!" Faceball 2000 was one of the first, if not the first, FPS I played. I rented it quite a few times and while it wasn't at the top of my SNES fave games, it holds a nostalgic spot thanks to being that first FPS as well as its unique presentation.

Normally I don't play a lot of sports titles, but some catch my eye from time to time. An early one was BaseWars on the NES. I mostly bought it for the great price of 50 cents at a yard sale but once I tried it I was shocked at how good it was. Join in with me on my thoughts in this episode.
