Decathlon...  ...oh man, that one, you could literally break a sweat!  Like the first video game ever to actually give you physical exercise, how fast can you move that joystick!  Circles at lightspeed, oh man, I have to take a break after a game of decathelon, my arms hurt, lol.

[Chauncey]

Yes Decathalon, hahaha! repeatedly elbowing your opponent in a frenzy!

ok... I wasnt the ghostbusters fan, but my little brother at the time spent many hours playing it when I wasnt playing some FPS cop game.  I forget the name.  You had to shoot mobsters popping out from various doors and what not.

[Chauncey]

Oh yeah, Ghostbusters - nearly had an aneurysm when I actually beat the game (on emulator) a couple years ago, after many hours played as a child. lol 

[Chuckie Chuck]

lol, not a particularly hard game.
