Hey buck.. I gave what you said a try.. had a sniper go ahead in the prone position and take people out.. it kinda worked.. but I can't see the bad guys.... I don't even know where the hell they are half the time when they're shooting at me until I'm already dead. I've never really been good at video games anyway.. I don't have the dedication it takes. I never even beat SMB1
The original playstion? are you kidding? that shit is cutting edge compared to what I have sitting in front of my TV. Thats right, I still have the atari 2600, and not the sleek one but the original with the big ass switches. Now that is old school.
However, i also have a bunch of newer systems like the original Nintendo and sega genesis.
Socom is the best game i have ever played,it actually takes specific timing and planning to get through the missons,if you just take off with no plan you die
Don't feel to bad. It took me a while to get a PS2 but I had a Dreamcast for a while. Some PS1 games are still pretty cool but many look just plain awful when compared to PS2, Xbox games.
