Old Games you Still Love.

[P0K3M0N_MA5T3R]

Are there any really old games, lets say, from all consoles before Dreamcast (and including it if you actually bought one), that you still get the urge to play or you still do play? And what it is that makes it special for you?
For me I still get the urge to play Resident Evil 2 even though I don't own it and I still play Columns on Sega Megadrive (Genesis) sometimes, it's special because it was the first game I ever played and it's still quite addictive when you start playing it.

[WillJ.]

I own an amiga (http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/f/f2/300px-Leander_Amiga500.jpg) (like an extremely basic PC which ran games off floppy disc) and I still play games on that like Road Rage (http://www.classicgaming.com.br/images/segacd/Road_Rash_Foto5.jpg), Lemmings (http://members.tcq.net/video61/images/lynx/gamepics/lemmings.jpg) and Simon The Sorcerer (http://armchairarcade.com/neo/system/files/images/rondor_0.PNG).

[Hickabod]

Jet Set Radio / Jet Grind Radio, is my all time favourite game. I still listen to the soundtrack on my Mp3. Looking back at it I can't see what I found was so good about it, but when I play it I still get addicted!

[Pyro]

The only really old game I can play is actually tetris on that really old handheld which graphics consisted of large blocks.

[Tempest]

Chuu-Chuu Rocket for Dreamcast. Best game ever? It just might be. I wish I still had my Dreamcast. :(

EDIT: Vectorman and Cool Spot for the Genesis. BEST GAMES EVER?

[Sarge51]

Resident Evil 1 and 2 - PSX
Galaga
Pacman
Dig-Dug
Super Mario Bros 1 and 3.

All great classic games.


Edit: Road Rash was AWESOME! I had a PC game of it once. I loved it so much.

[Hickabod]

Chuu-Chuu Rocket for Dreamcast. Best game ever? It just might be. I wish I still had my Dreamcast. :(

EDIT: Vectorman and Cool Spot for the Genesis. BEST GAMES EVER?

Seriously, that'd make the best Xbox Live Arcade game ever. Period.

I still play most of my Genesis/Megadrive collection on my GP2X, such classics as Streets of Rage, The Punisher and Road Rash. I also play Pac-man atleast once a week.

[Spastic]

One old school game that will never ever lose it's awesome is Mike Tyson's Punch Out. That game can still keep me entertained for hours even today. Games like Super Mario World for the SNES and Zelda, Ocarina of Time for the N64 are also other games that never seem to lose my interest.

[HappyPalooza]

Not as old as most of these, but Crash Bandicoot 2 is still one of my favorite games of all time.

[Krabby]

Tetris, love it.

Other than that, if I'm on holidays and I'm out of books.. I think the pokemon games have a really good gameplay [/shame]

[TheLameSauce]

Nothing beats the original 2D Worms games. Best multiplayer I've ever encountered. I also regularly play Starcraft, and have been since '99.

[Fraudulence_Raft]

Even though I haven't played it in a while I really love Megaman Legends. It is just an awesome game, and is probably the first game I've played start to finish. It's just an awesome game and no matter how many times I play it I never get tired of it.

[Matterialize]

Vectorman for the Genesis.

This, and the original Ice Climbers for the Atari or Commodore or whatever that old system was.

[hardcoresk8r69]

I play my N64 weekly.

Games I usually play is 007, super smash, super mario 64, zelda, perfect dark, and mario party. Those are the essentials I always play.

[Ox]

Yes, I had a Dreamcast - Baku Baku Animal was the finest puzzle ever.

Mario 3 is the tcket and looked amazing for a NES game. The best NES game of all time was definitely Metal Gear.

Mario Kart for the SNES was certainly one of the best games of all time, but certainly not as good as the N64's Goldeneye.

[Benjaman]

Pokemon Snap still has a place in my heart. :hmm:

[Random_Hero]

Chuu-Chuu Rocket for Dreamcast. Best game ever? It just might be. I wish I still had my Dreamcast. :(

EDIT: Vectorman and Cool Spot for the Genesis. BEST GAMES EVER?

I agree with vectorman, that game was the best thing I ever played as a kid.

[Zebbs]

Not as old as most of these, but Crash Bandicoot 2 is still one of my favorite games of all time.

Nothing beats the original 2D Worms games. Best multiplayer I've ever encountered. .

Pokemon Snap still has a place in my heart. :hmm:

Mariokart on the SNES was my alltime favourite. And this FIFA NHL game I had on the Sega, was crazy.

Also, when I was about 9, I used to play my cousins Sega and he had Street Fighter II. My dad didn't like the violence, he hid it on the top shelf but I climbed up and scurried off with it like a possessed demon.

[Dave]

My SNES and my N64 are still hooked up to my TV back at my parent's. I'm still regularly playing Mario Kart, NBA Jam, Super Mario World, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie and loads more.

[GnR]

I still have my old Playstaion and Sega Genesis. I play Tony Hawk on the Playstation. I've beaten that game countless times, and it never gets old. On my Sega Genesis, I play some crappy racing game. It's very easy, and fun to just beat the shit out of the NPC's.

[Quadros]

Me and my friends shun PES for International Superstar Soccer 98 on the N64 as our regualr football game, and often go toe to toe on the original Super Smash Brothers.

[Hickabod]

So, how many people cried when Golden Eye 64 was cancelled for the Xbox Live Arcade, boasting full online multiplayer, a mere 2 weeks before it would have been finished?

[Dave]

I'm still convinced me and my friend Vinnie are unbeatable at the original Smash Bros. The game time for Fox is clocked at around 3 months nonstop, added up.

[I_Smell]

I got my MegaDrive working yesterday, but I can't get rid of this loud buzzing noise =(

+CARMAGEDDON (http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=2920799939170955133&q=carmageddon+intro&total=24&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2)

DRIVE 2 SURVIVE.
I used to play this when I was about 8-10, then about a year ago I found out it was actually banned in the UK; So I started playing it again.

[Dodger]

I'm pretty I could beat you at the original super smash bros.
My friends all needed full handicap and a 3 v 1 match to even have a chance at beating me and even then it was iffy.
And everyone I know that used to play that game used Fox, fuck him. I used Pikachu.

Also Bomberman for the Snes
Goldeneye and World is Not Enough for 64 were awesome too.

[Quadros]

I'm still convinced me and my friend Vinnie are unbeatable at the original Smash Bros. The game time for Fox is clocked at around 3 months nonstop, added up.

Me and my little brother could take you, fo' sho'. Kirby and Yoshi, DEATH FROM ABOVE!

[BKS]

I am obsessed with the oldschool Point and Click Adventure games. Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, Zak Mckracken, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, They Monkey Island series, even Loom. I actually bought the Space Quest collection along with the Lesiure Suit Larry one.


Love 'em all.

Thats handy, since my friend's character of choice is Pikachu as well. We've sparred as Pikachu and Fox for 8 years straight, so I'm pretty sure I'd be ready.

[Richard_Simmons]

Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3
TLoZ: Ocarina of Time
First Super Smash Bros.
Mario Kart 64
Super Mario World
Wario Land 3

All fantastic Nintendo Games.

[I_Smell]

Wow, I just realised: Carmageddon's so old, it's actually free (http://www.classic-gaming.net/game/25/).

AO rated game right there.

[P0K3M0N_MA5T3R]

Shame it's tamer than most 15 rated games are now though.

[BUTT SLUT]

I always loved Megaman X on the SNES. It took me years to actually beat the game, as I did continually lose the passwords for the last levels. But when I finally did beat it, it became a bit boring. It's fun to go back to now, though.

[clairebear47]

Feeling slightly old but Alex the Kid!
Sonic the Hedgehog, first few on Mastersystem.
Street Fighter.
Crash Bandicoot 1, still play it, it's the only reason I haven't gotten rid of my PS2.
Lots of time spent on those games, wish I could hunt them down now.

[ToastmasterAlpha]

So, how many people cried when Golden Eye 64 was cancelled for the Xbox Live Arcade, boasting full online multiplayer, a mere 2 weeks before it would have been finished?

I didn't even know about that! Just the possibility of GoldenEye online would have been enough to convince me to get a 360. I'm pretty sure I play my N64 more than I go my GameCube and my PS2. But my all-time favorite guilty pleasure is 3D Baseball 1995 for the Sega Saturn. By determination alone I can take the Toronto Blue Jays to the World Series. Well...that and the lack of fair trade restrictions.

[Raxo]

I still play the old GTA games and Tekken for the PS1 because they're so damn fun. I also still play the old light gun game Area 51 and I never tire of it. I regularly play Perfect Dark and Killer Instinct on my N64.

[Sarge51]

Killer Instinct Gold was one of my favorite N64 fighting games. Fulgore and SabreWulf is awesome.

[Mr. Owl]

I live in 8-bit Nintendo land and my favorite vacation spot is 16-bit universe. Classic, not old, classic video games are my preference.

Mario
Sonic
Ness
Lui Kang
Mega Man
Contra
ect.

Best there is, bar none.

[Jallen]

Metal Gear Solid
Crash Bandicoot
Frogger
Super Mario Bros
Megaman
Kirby

All great games.

[Tempest]

Killer Instinct Gold was one of my favorite N64 fighting games. Fulgore and SabreWulf is awesome.

Oh hell no, Cinder and Glacius for life. That game was the SHIT, but I didn't really play it much for the N64, an old friend of mine used to have an Arcade Game Cabinet with it, Metal Slug, and the original TMNT. :drool:

[Sarge51]

Okay, Glacius was pretty awesome. But I couldn't use him for shit!

[Spiffy13]

Mortal Kombat II
Heretic
DooM
Duke Nukem 3D
Crash Bandicoot
Realms of Chaos

[NitRoDrivEn]

Have you guys been living under a rock? How come no ones mentions one of the best, if not THE best game of the 16-bit era?

Super Metroid

[Kenneh]

Crash Bandicoot and Tetris always will have a place in my heart.

[Rinkuu]

Mario Bros. (not Super Mario Bros)
Metroid
Zelda II: Link's Adventure

[Oberlin]

The most intense multiplayer game I've ever played-

Tetris Attack, for the SNES.

I would KILL for that to be released on XBLA.

[KeyboardSpastic]

I still love
Doom on PC, Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, FIFA 98, TIF (This is Football)
Adidas Power Soccer, Godzilla on Gameboy, Pokemon Red & Blue (not all that gold, fuschia, silver BS), Tetris, the original Sims, Yoshi's Island on SNES and Donkey Kong 3. OH, and this game called Radical Rex on SNES. That game was unbelievable.

I had the most fun playing Gameboy (the original fat one). I used to play Tetris and Pokemon against my friends for hours on end.

[Sarge51]

Mortal Kombat Trilogy was a great game. But I couldn't ever do finishers...

[P0K3M0N_MA5T3R]

Yeah I used to enjoy Mortal Kombat's too but the fatalities were so fiddly I used to get annoyed, most of the time I'd just plug in both controllers and just get to the "Finish Him/Her" screen quickly because the 2nd player isn't attacking. Then I'd try and do the fatalities, sometimes they worked.

[Zebbs]

Pokémon took up at least a week collectively of my childhood. I remember getting a gameboy on holiday and having a whale of a time. I'm not huge on the new generations, but i still have my Gameboy color and the GAMEBOY CAMERA + PRINTER! But once you completed it, there wasn't much else to do.

[Sarge51]

Oh My! I remember those Printers. That's hilarious! I almost forgot completely about those! I had a Yellow Gameboy Color to play Pokemon Yellow on. It was perfect times.

[Mr. Owl]

I challenge anyone to take me in any Mortal Kombat game, you wont win.



Though sadly I have no XBOX nor live so I cant back it up.

[MSB]

MarioKart/N64
Banjokazooie/N64
Zelda: Ocarina of Time/N64
Donkey Kong/N64
Sonic (1,2, & 3)/Genesis
Mortal Kombat III/Genesis

And then a whole slew of NES/SNES games. I prefer older games/consoles to the newer ones. :smile:

[Dresden]

I love em, although I havent played them in soooo long. Wish I had a Sega... and Windows '95... and the original Nintendo

-Heretic
-Doom I and II
-The Sonic Games
-Mario/Duck Hunter
-The Legend of Zelda

My favorite "old game" is Legend of Dragoon for the PlayStation, which I can actually still play. Woot.

[CharlieH]

Unreal Tournament and Worms Armageddon are both such great games.

However, Goldeneye for the N64 outstrips them both. By a mile.

Oh shit, how could I have forgotten about Worms Armageddon. One of the greatest games ever created!

[Krabby]

Nothing beats the original 2D Worms games. Best multiplayer I've ever encountered. I also regularly play Starcraft, and have been since '99.

Wow, worms 2. Wish I found that disk back.

Looooved the holy bomb xD
3... 2... 1... Hallelujah! WHAM.


Challenge anyone to a pokemon fight on gameboy as well, only first 150 pokemon tho.

[BKS]

Oh shit, How did I forget Doom, DoomII, Quake, and Duke Nukem3D?

[Hickabod]

Looooved the holy bomb xD
3... 2... 1... Hallelujah! WHAM.


The Holy Hand Granade, Respect the Python! :argh:

A couple of days ago I went back and played Gex Gecko, wow it's amazing now I'm old enough to understand all of the movie references.

[I_Smell]

Worms World Party was better than Worms Armageddon. I had Armageddon, and was like "Wow this is a funky game", then I was all "World Party, what the- OH SHIT."

Get a Banana bomb, aim straight upwards, and fire at full power.


Oh and I don't play it anymore, but Kirby 64 had this goddamn excellent mechanic where you could fuse enemies and swallow them. The number of transformations was fuckin endless.

[CharlieH]

Whats the difference?

[flying_30cal]

Dino crisis
Resident evil 1,2,3
Sonic the hedgehog
virtue fighter 2
medal of honor
Half Life
Final Fantasy Tactics
Crash bandicoot

my favorite game of all time:
Metal Gear Solid 1
Unfortunately my disc wont play anymore and I'm pissed does anyone have any good disc cleaning tips?

[Zombie-Dave]

Sonic wins, hand down.

Sonic 3 was easily the best out of the lot, and now they've all gotten a bit shit since they started making them 3d.

But I still have my old megadrive [Genesis] set up and play it regularly.

Other favourites include:
Ristar
Streets of rage 1
Altered Beast
Golden Axe 1
Choas Engine
Cool Spot
And many, many others. Ever since gamestation made Megadrive games 99p each [about 50 cents], AND they were buy one get one free, I went mental and now own easily nearing 300 games for it.

Edit: Oh, and Duke Nukem on the PS1 of course. 'Balls of steel'

[cosmosforest]

We still have an N64, a NES and a Mega Drive around, working perfectly!! The only thing is we have fuck all games for them.
Worms Armageddon does indeed kick ass, as does GoldenEye for the N64! I was quite partial to Lylat Wars too. I heard that anyone with a Wii can get the old games for the different Nintendo Consoles online and play them on the Wii - that true?

As for the Sonic games, I found the Mega Plus Collection for the PS2 which has every last one of the Sonic Games - and it was dirt cheap too!! Best buy ever, methinks!

[I_Smell]

Whats the difference?

There's loads more weapons and the voices are funnier. Also there's more training and missions n shit.

[The Fetus]

Most of all the games I play are pretty old.

Super Mario 64
Resident Evil (The one on GameCube)
Sonic Collection
007 Goldeneye
HF 2 (It's kind of old!)
Red Faction
GTA III

Although, mainly I have been playing SKATE. I try not to neglect my goldmine of oldies.

Yes, endless to a limit of 49. :mmyes:

But it was a pretty good game. It was the most customizable game I'd ever played at the time. I also like Super Smash Bros. I was REALLY good at it too. I loved Super Mario 64, or as my family called it "The House One." I liked the old Pokemons. But one of my favorites was Donkey Kong 64. For someone my age, that game was creepy as shit, and I never wanted to stop playing. Mario Kart 64 was another great one. I was always Yoshi or Toad. I LOVED Yoshi's Island. Yoshi was always my favorite Mario character. Also Mario Party, Dr. Mario 64, and Star Fox 64.

All these games were basically my childhood.

[DarkMountain]

Pokemon Snap still has a place in my heart. :hmm:

Not as fun as Smash Bros but that game was addictive :)

[Sarge51]

Oh my God. Kirby 64 was the cutest game ever. I loved the somewhat endless amount of combinations. ONE of my favorites was the flaming sword.

[History]

I'm glad someone finally mentioned Worms World Party. I wasted so much time playing that game. I loved doing the missions. Unfortunately I lost it when I rebooted. I have to admit I probably play my NES more than my Wii. I still love Mario 3 to the core. I've also been playing Zelda's 1 and 2 and the original Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest?). In addition, I'm very partial to the first Final Fantasy. I had one of those cool Nintendo Power guides that showed you all the secrets. If I can get the game back from whoever I lent it to ages ago I want to try and beat it with a party of 4 white mages.

[Cypress]

I'd have to say:

Jet moto 1,2 & 3
All Ace combats and Air combat.
Resdent evil one
And Soul Edge/Soul Blade.
All Playstation games.

EDIT: Forgot Metal gear solid.

[SLjimbolian]

I love the Wii Virtual Console. I've been playing games like SMB 1-3, Zelda: OoT, Star Fox 64, Mario Kart 64, and Punch-Out!! (damnit, wished it was the Tyson version though) over and over again and I never get tired of them. Hell, I keep playing SMB 1 as I have yet to beat the game after all these years.

Another classic game I always keep playing is Konami's Suikoden series. I own the first three and fifth Suikoden games (IV flat out sucks) and I just love how you can complete each game with a different set of characters of your choosing. Sure it may not be as complex or popular as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, but finding 108 characters to recruit in each game keeps me coming back for more.

Also, WWE No Mercy for N64 is another fun game to still play. I honestly believe its way much better than the whole Smackdown franchise of games as it's deep and highly customizable where as the SD games seem to pale in comparison. Don't forget this game came out when wrestling was still wildly popular.

[Ayla]

its very old and probably be very lame but i loved paganitzu and kings quest. paganitzu i have found and played one nostalgic afternoon but for some reason i cant find a copy of Kings Quest 5 that my computer likes. very sad about that.

[badumpbumpbump]

WC3 anyone? Even though it's only 5 years old, people will be playing it 10 years from now. The reason it stayed alive is because of the amazing mapmaker.

[Dresden]

Hell yeah, WC3 and TFT are awesome. It's amazing to see some of the maps that have been made. You can do practically anything if you have the know-how. Actually haven't played it in a while myself, but yes, it is a very good game. Made a nice lead-up storyline-wise for World of Warcraft as well (which in my opinion is a good game... just WAY too many idiots; the curse of all online games)

[Shaori]

Deus Ex
Curse of Monkey Island
Broken Sword: Shadows of the Templars
Toonstruck

When I discovered I couldn't play Toonstruck or Broken Sword on my new computer, I considered crying for a very long time.

[beermonster256]

Me and my friends shun PES for International Superstar Soccer 98 on the N64 as our regualr football game, and often go toe to toe on the original Super Smash Brothers.

I'm gonna go one further and say ISS 64 - can't beat the commentary on that. Aside from that I have nothing that hasn't already been said, Goldeneye, Mario Kart etc.

Also used to have a Commodore 64 which ran off cassette tapes. The only game i can remember for that was a Football Manager type thing, and one based around Top Cat.

[Christina_doll]

Hmm, I'd say Super Mario 64, even though I can still play it on my Nintendo DS, I'd also say Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis and Zelda Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 even though I can play both of those games on Game Cube lol.

[Christina_doll]

Ha ha, just remembered, 007:Goldeneye and 007:The World Is Not Enough for the Nintendo 64 <3 My favorites...

[DrMassive]

What I wouldn't give to play Time Commando and Crash Bandicoot 1 on playstation.

[Roxi]

I loved Nintendo 64. That just so brings me back. I miss being able to fix things by blowing on them.

I loved Super Mario 64, and of course Mortal Kombat.

Also, though it's a bit newer, the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater for Playstation. It was so much simpler then. Beat the time, beat the points, beat the bigger points, get the tapes, break the glass.

[EndlesslyMarcus]

If I had a chance to play Ocarina of Time I'd do it. I love that game.

[1337jock]

Disciples is just an awesome RTS on the PC
pokemon red and advanced wars i am still playing obsessivly on my gameboy andvanced right now

[Dracokagebuyo]

Well, there's Pokemon Snap. No purpose, yet addicting.

[Krabby]

Nothing beats the original 2D Worms games. Best multiplayer I've ever encountered. I also regularly play Starcraft, and have been since '99.

Oh yea, seconded.

5...4...3...2...1...ALLELUJAH, *wham*.
Heh, loved the holy bomb.

[MissRAWR]

Let's see...

I still play Orcarina of Time. My record for beating it is like a day and a half, but that's cuz I do sidequests on it too (Skulltula hunting, Biggoron's Sword, Mask trading, etc) :)
Still play Tetris. I get addicted to that game.
Super Mario 3. Well basically any Mario game, especially 64 Mario.
Zelda: Link's Awakening for the ORIGINAL Game Boy
Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons for Game Boy Color
I miss Sonic for Sega. And I liked Metroid for GB but I could never get past Level 1 :( I sucked at it. Oh well.
Banjo-Kazooie, although I can never beat it :argh:
The ORIGINAL Mortal Kombat for Sega

Ahh... nostalgia. :hmm:

[Amir]

FF7, best game ever imo.

[jayce]

Mortal Kombat II
Road Rash
Carmageddon
Diablo I & II
Unreal Tournament
Warcraft III (if that counts as "old")
Myst
Return to Zork (but it doesn't work on newer systems)
Death Rally (dumb, but oddly enjoyable)

[Sarge51]

I'd be playing Road Rash for the PC if I hadn't of lost my disc. That game was awesome...

Thank goodness for the Wii, because now I can have (almost) all of my favorites without dusting off the old NES. Here's my list:

Super Mario Bros. 2
The Legend of Zelda (NES)
Bubble Bobble (NES)
Tetris (not on the virtual console yet)

I also like some classics like Breakout on the old Video Pinball console.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e5/Vpinball.jpg

We had this when I was a kid and if I still had one, I'd have it hooked up to my 47" LCD HD in no time! Funny how something so simple can still be so much fun.

[Homemaster]

All I can say is, I wish I had never sold the N64. RIP best times of my life :(

[Mr. Owl]

I too made the mistake of getting rid of all my old consoles and games, and how I miss them so. Luckily for me I can run emulators all the way up to dream cast standards with ease.

[StencilandSketch]

Oh my god, Red Faction - now there's a game that should have been as popular as Half-Life and stuff. I loved that game.

Red Faction had the rail gun that could shoot through walls right? I loved that game sooo much. Only game that took more of my time as a kid had to have been Time Splitters 1. Nobody realizes how damn awesome that game was. Who wouldn't enjoy killing people as a monkey with tommy guns?

[Pancakes]

The original mario, OfT, and pacman.

[spacemonkey187]

Okay, Glacius was pretty awesome. But I couldn't use him for shit!
Killer Intinct is still one of my favourites. I'll never forget when the Apollo Arcade in Belfast got it and I could [I]feel[I] the music just rumbling away in there. Oh yeah.
I loved the way specials could be buffered during the combos, Sabrewulf was great for that, he'd roll forward chomping and goring and I'd be loading the next wallop to Thunder, et al. Awesome!
Never got the holy grail though, Orchids 45 hit ultra, nearly did but I missed Cinder on the way down with the Juggles, damnation.
Rare owned actually, KI, Goldeneye, Banjo and Conker were, and still are, amazing and fine examples of how to get it right consistently.
So there you go, thats my two bits!

[Profane Methane]

I've been playing pac-man and Tetris on my phone, it's pretty sweet. I also bring out my Nintendo 64 from time to time and play 007 which is one of the the bests FPS's ever.

[theirishbottelcap]

my favoret (and still is) is zelda orcaine of time on the nintendo 64

[cabhats]

Sid Meiers Pirates!!! <<< Love that game.
Catan (based on the board game by Klaus Teuber)
Super Smash Bro's (on Super Nintendo)
System shock 2
zelda.

Age of Empires I

[Homemaster]

System shock 2


WOW

Yes that game was fun to play at school, memories!

[Drofdar62]

Wolfenstein 3D! This game literally paved the way for first person shooters. Without Wolfenstein there would have been no DOOM!!! and i think that we all know how awesome that game turned out ot be.

[MaxAlcolo]

I went through A Link To The Past for the X time not too long ago. This game just can't get old.

[RessXalcor]

Mortal Kombat 2

Killer instinct

The legend of zelda A link to the past
DOOM
AND LAST NOT LEAST Goldeneye

[popo123]

megaman x4 :) a PS game

[TheHighwaySong]

I have bought every Tony Hawk game since THPS (except Project 8). I used to be able to play them for hours. I was really impressed with THPG because it finally shied away from the gay corny story lines of THAW and THUG2. THUG was tolerable.

Of course, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, and Diddy Kong Racing were the shit. And did nobody ever play Twisted Metal on the PlayStation?! And Ape Escape?!

I've actually got a NES in a box somewhere. Me, my dad and my brother usually take it out during the holidays. It still works quite well, at least we can play Mario Bros. on it, which is the important thing. One of my favourite games of all times.

[D-MAN]

The nes is the only game system i got that cant be taken from me. the games i play include donky kong and super mario bros. 1 2 and 3.

[Yimmit]

I still like playing Metroid: Fusion on my DS. It's a great game.

[Mr. Owl]

Whats great is, using emulators I still play all these games daily.

[SuEsq]

Yea, I use my emulators on my Xbox alot. I have 780 Atari games on it which is kind of a waste of space come to think of it because all I usually play is Donkey Kong on SNES and Adventure Island on NES.

[Afromaster]

Super Mario World all the way.

[Matterialize]

Just remembered - Master of Orion. It's like the granddaddy of turn-based strategy games. Also JK: Dark Forces 2.

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with the suggestion about Deus Ex as well.

[tunacake]

I lived on the 64.

Super Smash Bros. is unbeatable. I kicked some major ass with Yoshi.
Also Mario Kart, Mario Party 1-3/4ish, and Yoshi Story.

[karoschne]

Star Control 2 has not been mentioned yet (PC/ 3DO). In terms of universe, story-telling, atmosphere, characters and humour this has yet to be topped by any modern game. It was set in a universe populated by aliens that could be coming from cheesy 60's science fictions. There was always something to discover and the story was as witty as it was immersive.

The campaign was dynamic and while you gathered resources, different races fought wars. It really felt more like playing an odd adventure than anything.

You had to converse (and read) a lot, which was the best part. Also there was a asteroids-like fighting mechanic as well as a part where you would collect minerals from foreign planets. All in all the game mechanics were decent. At least they did not get in the way.

[Sarge51]

Super Smash Bros. is unbeatable.

Oh, I beg to differ. It is however bloody hard to unlock all the hidden characters. I personally have only been able to unlock 2 in my lifetime. I freaking love that game, and playing it on an emulator is just not the same. I wish I had a N64...

[tunacake]

Oh no, I meant it's the best game ever.
That giant hand at the end was easy as fuck.

I realize I misled.

[Sarge51]

That giant hand at the end was easy as fuck.

Yeah, unless you were using Jigglypuff. Once you learned his moves and how to avoid them you can probably beat him without losing 1 life.

[Songi]

legend of legaia was a great RPG for the playstation, very involved and the combat system was very nice and flashy also it was a bit open ended if one played it right.

[Clerlic]

Transport Tycoon, which now has many fan-made improvements, like working on XP and Vista.

Counter-Strike could also be considered an old game. I'm not talking about Source here.

[Relaps]

Lotta games. Lets start with SNES:

F-Zero, Secret of Mana, Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Killer Instinct, to name a few.

N64:

Ocarina of Time, F-Zero X, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros...

[Crabstick]

NBA Jam on the SNES.

Simply for the commentator.

[Skythe]

Secret of Evermore
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Fallout 2
Legend of Zelda
Adventures of Link

[Kwashi13]

A game called Albion by Buebyte. The story's interesting (cat anthros always make it so), graphics are pretty neat, sounds are fair... Gameplay - everything's good except the fact that dueling is turn based. It's not a problem for me - but as the game progresses, it gets immensely hard at one point... (I still haven't beaten the game but it's been a while since I last played). It's definitely one of my all time favs. :)

[RessXalcor]

Ooh forgot about Fallout 2 thanks skythe
and there's the first 2 sonics, and sonic and knuckles... the games before the death of sonic.
I also have the first mario, mario world.
and Donkey kong 1 and 2, #3 was shitty

[Starshot]

Tetris attack and super mario world from the super nintendo still remain one of my favorites today. I've even gone so far as to try downloading the two and playing them on emulators but it really can't compare to playing the actual system.

[Motchoman]

i own a NES, had it for years. i love the whole having to spend 15 minutes blowing and continuly pressing the on/off button to make it work.

but still. orgioanl super mario one cant be beaten.

and duck hunt, however i have now lost my light gun, which is annoying. so have to live without.

[RessXalcor]

Don't forget blowing on the game cartridges for minutes. I could spend minutes blowing on those cartridges before I threw it across the room. I actually still own my NES, SNES, and N64. Sadly I can't use the NES or SNES my power cable is gone or stolen somewhere.

[Inconceivable]

Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3
TLoZ: Ocarina of Time
First Super Smash Bros.
Mario Kart 64
Super Mario World
Wario Land 3

All fantastic Nintendo Games.

Add FF8 and FF7 into that and thats my list.

[lobster bisque anyone?]

Frogger on the original 1989 game boy
http://www.jorgec.biz/images/gameboy.jpg

[Inconceivable]

Spyro and Crash games were fun aswell.

[RessXalcor]

Spyro and Crash games were fun aswell.

yeah they rocked, until he turned Sonic. I still own the first 2 games, Ah... those memories

[Ralbert07]

Pretty much any NES/SNES/N64 game.

[AnnaNemyss]

Zelda for the SNES- was my first vid game ever and took me forever to beat.

Castlevania 64 for of course, the N64- It's still the "coolest."

Donkey Kong Country 3 and Diddy Kong Racing- They were just plain fun :)

[Jiggz]

The Adventures of Keen
Prince of Persia
Sim City
Pizza Tycoon
Grand Theft Auto I

[natalie137]

I will always have a place in my heart for Tetris

[CheesePlease]

I play Worms Armageddon all the damn time.

[junglebunny]

Yea, I use my emulators on my Xbox alot. I have 780 Atari games on it which is kind of a waste of space come to think of it because all I usually play is Donkey Kong on SNES and Adventure Island on NES.

You can put emulators on Xbox?

[Jino]

Populous: The Beginning

There's still a thriving community of God-aspiring players out there. ^_^

[Spastic]

legend of legaia was a great RPG for the playstation, very involved and the combat system was very nice and flashy also it was a bit open ended if one played it right.

I loved that game Songi! I only know of a handful of people who have actually heard of it. I must have played through that game 10 times.

A game I have to add is Lunar: Silver Star Story. It is my favorite game of all time, made for the Sega CD originally, then re-released on the PS1 and GBA.

[TheHighwaySong]

I loved the Syphon Filter series (only the first 3) on the original Playstation. Especially SF2.

[ToastmasterAlpha]

I'm a major fan of the Sim series in general, most notably SimCity 2000, SimFarm, SimCopter, and SimTower. Syndicate and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri are also great PC games.

...Diddy Kong Racing- They were just plain fun :)

YES. I can't believe I didn't mention this masterpiece in my first post.

[Moseses]

Ok, first of all, you have to drop some respect for Metal Gear Solid. Not quite the 8 bit original ones that make you look like a roach running about on a big green puddle of puke, but the one for PS1 that starts out with you being pooped out of a submarine to some epic music and floating up to start off killing two guys in under a minute. That game is one of the only reasons i still have my PS2, and also the first game I ever bought over eBay.

Secondly, who remembers Earthworm Jim? That game was the shit, but I haven't seen it ported or anything since back in the day. What's not to llike about being an earthworm in a space suit shooting baddieswith laser cannons? Fucking LASER cannons!

[Dodger]

sNES

Altered Beast, on the Sega, that game was hilarious.

And of course, Starcraft. Been a proud player since '98, baby.

I sat down last summer and beat the games in the chronological order in which they happened. That would be:
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
I would have beaten more if I had MGS: Portable Ops, which I believe is the one between MGS3 and MG. But the original Metal Gear Solid is still amazing and epic. I beat it in 2 days, but sadly have yet to get the happy ending with Meryl. :frown:

[Moseses]

What about Metal Gear: Snake's Revenge, and Metal Gear 2? If you can find a translated ROM for MG2, it's worth the play. Snake's Revenge was kinda shitty.

[BKS]

I'm still a huge fan of DoomII, me and a bunch of friends have been playing that in my Advanced Graphics class lately. We're also going to be playing Diablo, which again, is a favorite of mine. Quake, Duke Nukem, all of those original FPS games I love, along with again, the Lucas Arts adventure games.



Lemmings and other similar games still rock.

[ShaunAnator]

Spyro and Crash games were fun aswell.

These were great games, i clocked one of the spyro games and crash 1, 2, 3 and team racing. Got to say those were good times.

Tekken 3 was also a very good game, also pokemon, smash bros and the list could just keep going. :gj:

[Corcho]

banjo-kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Kart and Gaunlet

[Desert]

Any WWE title on the SNES, simply for running into walls and the glitch that throws the referee into the crowd.

[Mycroft]

Worms 2
Indiana jones and the fate of atlantis.

Those were great, great times.

[SLjimbolian]

There's just too many for me to name. I usually download games from Wii's Virtual Console like SMB 1-3, Star Fox 64, Paper Mario, Sonic, Streets of Rage 2, and so on, plus I've been playing more PS1 games on my PS2 than actual PS2 games.

[NitRoDrivEn]

I occasionally bust out my SNES and Gradius 3... just because the game is so hard and I HAVE to beat it. Oh yeah, and Battletoads. I've been playing Battletoads on and off since 1994, and have yet to beat it.

[Manicmonkey]

Secret of Mana, Earthbound, Secret of Evermore, Illusion of Gaia, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Wave Race 64 and Beetle Adventure Racing. Also Spastic and Songi, Legend of Legaia is an amazingly awesome game, as is Lunar: Silver Star Story. The latter had some of the longest cut scenes ever, but I'll be damned if they weren't captivating.

[Mipit]

I'm not even that old, but I still try and go back and game the stuff that came out before I was born. No matter what, I will always love the original Zelda, but I always love PacMan and Dig dug. Galaga is always nice too. Not too old.

[themegafather]

Tic-Tac-Toe on the console called "Paper". The controller was called a Pencil back then.

Nowadays, you're called a fag for Writing.

[lazycsi]

:rock: The greastest "old school" game is Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. What makes a game old school? I have 12 systems and I'll still play most of them. The SNES has awesome games that still should be played. Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG, and Donkey Kong Country 1,2, and 3 just to name a few :rock:

[ParadoxFiasco]

Not that old but I still love and play Jagged Alliance 2, and dungeon keeper.

Also have purchased full games of sonic and golden axe from xbox marketplace :x

[Fischante]

Let's see-Championship Manager 2000-2001.I played it when I was 11,I think.Changed my life.And then there was Captain Claw,which was possibly the first computer game I got my hands on.A pirate cat was pretty badass for me in those days.

[bono]

I was playing Chuck Rock yesterday. It was a game on the good old Sega Megadrive, a simple platformer but loads of fun to play with a good soundtrack thrown in for good measure.

[bono]

Also Snow Bros, I originally spent a LOT of money on the arcade version and then I got it on the Megadrive and still play it to this day. I have the NES ROM on my computer at work for times of boredom.

[Agent Intrepid]

A few of my favorites are Goldeneye 007, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, LoZ: A Link to the Past, Golden Axe, and Castlevania.

Halo shit has nothing on Goldeneye.

[Dresden]

Sonic 2 and Sonic & Knuckles for Sega Genesis. Legend of Dragoon for PS1. Any Legend of Zelda game.

And of course Raiden... i only ever saw that one in arcades. Remember? You had the fighter jet and got weapon upgrades till you were blasting out a huge fuckin' laser beam that was bigger than your fighter, while at the same time firing like 20 missiles at once and annihilating everything? Sweetness.

[CoffeeandTV]

Mario Kart 64 still gets played a LOT, but probably only as the snes version is broken. Unsuprisingly I still enjoy games like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana, FF7 is another rpg I still enjoy from time to time.

There is nothing more satisfying than hitting someone with a lightning on Wario Stadium just as they're about to go over the jump

[Triple J]

Jak and Daxter. That game was the best of the series before Jak started talking and it sucked.

[Salmonella]

every super mario/zelda game, donkey kong 2, chrono trigger, final fantasy 6/7, super metroid, resident evil 1,2,3 + code veronica (if it counts), silent hill, actraiser, castlevania IV/symphony of the night, killer instinct, street fighter 2, mega man 1-8 + mega man X,
Goof Troop, Mickey mouse - the magical adventure, micky and minnie - the great circus mystery, ninja gaiden, prehistoric man, star fox, super ghouls n' ghosts, punch out!!, tmnt - turtles in time, tekken 3. a lot of snes game, but imo it's the greatest console ever (no flaming pelase)

[Sarge51]

Galaga is still my favorite classic game of all time. I plan on getting an Arcade Cabinet one day. Maybe a Ms.Pacman/Galaga combo.

I am more of the 8-Bit fan. Pitfall, Missile Command, Galaga, Pacman, Pole Position, Dig-Dug, Mario games for the NES, Kirby, and so much more.

An old childhood favorite would have to be The Adventures of Pacman for the SNES. I think it only had like three missions, and you didn't really have much control over Pacman at all. But could do funny things with a slingshot to get Pacman in trouble. Shoot dogs and beehives and watch him run in fear. Then Pacman will get all Emo until get eats a power pellet.

[mmmness]

its not very well known, but one of my personal favorite games is "little samson" for the NES, the main charactor throws effing BELLS!, any person that uses a musical device as a weapon is badass (bet ya cant guess what my favorite anime is?)

[veveze]

Gauntlet legends for N64. I loved that when I was a kid, and now I have the PS2 version, but I rather play nintendo. Hahaha, also that zambini game with the puzzles and the little blue guys where you got to make them travel and change their faces! That was so much fun!

[CoOkIeS]

& any of the Mario Parties, because they rock real hard.

[Splek]

i loved Banjo-Tooie! for the Nintendo 64! that was awesome! and of corse Super Mario World! and Super Mario Bros.

[The Reverend Is]

I've always been a fan of the oldschool point and click games!
Do you guys remember those?
Like all the Lucas Arts classics, Monkey Island Series, Maniac Mansion!
Good old DOS games!

My favorite was Day of The Tentacle! Probably one of the greatest games ever.

Oh and the good old FPS, DOOM and Duke Nukem. Brilliant!

[SWThirteen]

I always find myself wanting to play Mystic Quest on SNES. I haven't played it in years, and I don't know if it'll be as great as I remember, but it was the first game I can safely say I was addicted to. I played through it time and time again never getting bored.
Mystic Quest is a Final Fantasy game. It is extremely basic and meant for kids, but I still want it.

I also want to play Final Fantasy 8, although i actually have that one. It was the first Final Fantasy title I played (except Mystic Quest, but that's hardly Final Fantasy) and has been my favorite ever since.

[Maxw27]

Some of the few games that always drag me back in are: Goldeneye 64, Super Marior 64, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 6, Zelda: OoT & MM, Warcraft 1-2. Starcraft, Diablo 1, Poke'mon Red and Silver, King's Quest 6, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64, and Star Fox 64. I played all those games when I was growing up, so they always keep busy when I'm playing them again.

[bono]

I really enjoyed Final Fantsy 12. The game was totally different from all the others and it really worked well. A bit too easy though, as much as I hate walking around levelling up this game couldve used a bit of that. In the previous games you find all the cool stuff by exploring every area so that you can get into more fights and level up. Also that bunny chick really caused many trees in my pants. She kind of reminded me of the Playboy chicks.

[lm008m]

I dug out my old Sega Genesis the other day and played this random game I used to love. Busby 2 or something like that, it's really hard to beat but I've always loved that game for some odd reason. There is an old Power Ranger game that still kicks ass too.

Close! It was Bubsy 2. I preferred the first one but it was hard as hell!! Get touched once and you die. The controls were a bit off yet I still play it. Funny thing is I get irritated with it and dont get very far ( and I am playing the ROM on PC and can save whenever I please) yet when I used to play it on my genesis I actually finished the damn thing! I used to have a lot of patience.

[Pencil]

I still love these old point n' click adventures. Simon the Sorcerer, the Monkey Island series, Maniac Mansion, etc.

[Zackariah]

I loved "Super Mario Allstars," I never had many games for the snes when i was younger. So getting this was awesome because its like a 5 in 1 game , So much to play! So it kept me busy!
Metal Gear Solid.
Zelda.
World cup 98 on n64. I still play that.

[LandMarkMoon]

Was playing some CoD4 online on the Box, then i was like, hmm i forgot how halo 1 played. So I dusted off my 2 ton Xbox 1 and started playing truth and reconciliation legendary^^ man was that fun and hard with that shitty AR.

Was worth it:)

[Wackomyjacko]

I still love to play Space Invaders and Crash Bandicoot, but I miss playing Mario on N64.

[PineappleHead]

About 95% of games on the SNES.
Especially Killer Instinct.

And Mario 64. The end.

[LandMarkMoon]

Mario 64 is Cake.

[B33]

Every so often I am sitting playing some fancy-pantcy new RPG and I think "Fuck this! Im playing Ocarina of Time!"

[Amazingly]

Chuu-Chuu Rocket for Dreamcast. Best game ever? It just might be. I wish I still had my Dreamcast. :(

EDIT: Vectorman and Cool Spot for the Genesis. BEST GAMES EVER?

Cool Spot FTW. Back then, product promotion games could still be good.

The original Mario Kart is still fun.

Who else still plays Zelda: Link to the Past? I know that game inside and out.

I have a working 3DO, on which I still play VirtuaFighter sometimes.


And Tetris with the original arcade controls. I'm pretty good at it, I even rolled the score once.

[Zalok]

For the SNES I would have to go with Super Mario All-Stars and all the Donkey Kong Country Games. I also found the very first game I ever played (and beat) for the SNES, it's called Joe & Mac and was originally for MS-DOS and brought back a lot of memories when i found it. I also have a working Virtual Boy and still play Mario Clash on it. I can't forget the Gameboy Camera and Printer either both still work quite well and still see a good deal of use.

If early computer games also count then I'd have to add the Doom series to the list as well as Red Alert: Aftermath and Tiberian Dawn.

[Lokkin]

Shining Force and Shining Force 2, particularly the latter, for the Genesis. I have an emulator and iso of these and still occasionally play them.

[revertedlogic]

I have numerous games I still love. Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Super Mario World, Earthbound and Killer Instinct on the SNES, Spyro 1,2,3 and Crash 1,2,3 and Bash for the PS1, Pokemon for the Gameboy and and the Sonic games for the Genesis.

[woodentoast]

The old GTA and Devil May Cry games, I've still got my ps2 cus there's no way they could be released onto the XBL marketplace as originals (apart from the later few GTA's I guess)

[barnesy111]

Heavy Gear. Such a good game, it made me reinstall Windows 95 onto an 8GB hard drive and hook everything up just so I could play it without constant crashing or reduced framerate caused by compatibility mode and Virtual PC.

Wario World 3 for the GBC.

It fucking ruled.

[Kenyi]

..I admit I still like Super mario for the original gameboy...

[daone]

My favorite "old game" is Legend of Dragoon for the PlayStation, which I can actually still play. Woot.

I love Legend of the Dragoon. I wish I could still play mine though. My disk two(or maybe three) got scratched and every time I play it gets stuck after defeating the water dragoon.

Other old games I like are: Super Smash Bros, Jet force gemini (or however you spell it), and mario kart.

[Tyler_Legrand]

Advance Wars I guess.

Or Famicom Wars if you want older:

[Pelican Man]

Stunt Driver. It was awesome watching your windshield explode after crashing. Proof that one doesn't need good graphics or gameplay for a kickass game.

[Cerberus]

I've actually recently been playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and it's still awesome. The gameplay is so addictive.

[Prisefighter_Inferno]

All of the Doom and Duke Nukem games as well as Battle Zone and the original Delta Force for PC. Then all the Zelda games (maybe not MM, because I to confused) and 007 Goldeneye.

[IronWire]

Oooh the Suikoden 2 Game for the PS One, I fucking loved that game, played it for hours but I got stuck at Luca Blight.

[NitRoDrivEn]

I've actually recently been playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and it's still awesome. The gameplay is so addictive.
Ahh... you mean Metroidvania? Not to demean the game or anything. It's one awesome piece.

My favorite Castlevania is definitely Bloodlines on the Genesis. Super Castlevania 4 on SNES is great as well, but Bloodlines is just awesome.

[Quadros]

Advance Wars I guess.

[Monkeyboy_2008]

SNES: Chrono Trigger all the way. That game freaking owns. Hands down.
Also: Earthbound, Final Fantasy 3, and Super Mario RPG.

I loved that game! I only had the first part and when i finally reached the end it said there was a sequal i was so pissed off!

Woah, seriously? I did not know that. That map's still in the games.

I know, right.

Officially the franchise is "Nintendo Wars"; it's started as Famicom Wars, then onto Super Famicom Wars, Game Boy Wars, and then Advance Wars. It's also on the Gamecube and Wii as Battalion Wars, which is real-time rather than turn-based.

Also, I quietly anticipate Chrono Trigger DS.

[Aerostella]

The old 2D Legend of Zelda games
EarthBound for SNES

Seriously, that game has a cult.

"After all, it could only cost you your life, and you got that for free!"

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy VII will never die those games are truly the most legendary epic things to happen since sliced bread.
also "Congo's Caper" for snes
or "Chrono Trigger"

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain on the PS1, I have recently started playing it again for the hell of it. It may be dated but still kickass!

[Pickle23]

Parasite Eve I and II. Still play II occasionally, I haven't gotten Squall's Gunblade in the Replay Modes.

I will have you, dammit!

[Melon]

Chip's Challenge! Best game ever? Quite possibly.

[NitRoDrivEn]

Anyone remember this DOS gem?

Fuck yeah, I was the king at that.
What was it called?

[Ercoledi]

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

You can get classic DOS freeware and shareware like Raptor, BioMenace and Commander Keen and play it on XP and Vista machines using a nifty program called DOSBox (www.dosbox.com), a DOS emulator. Epic win.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy never gets old. I used to own it a LONG time ago. I never was good at it. But just recently I've been playing it and I actually know a fatality move now!

Scorpion kicks ass.

[Dodger]

Bomberman and Mario Party 3.

Best party games ever, hands down. Me and my friends have played them so much that we know every mini-game and who's best at what, but it still fun to bust out the old N64 or Snes for old times sakes. Someone always gets mad and hilarity ensues. Jesus I love these games.

[_Atheistic_]

I'd have to go with Turok and Perfect Dark for the N64, I still have a go at them every now and again. I used to absolutely love those games, they were the coolest things.

[Serpentsnake]

I Love Banjo-Kazooie.
Cant wait for it to come to the arcade On XBL.

Snow Bros on the Sega Genesis, it was one of my favourites!

[Iceshade]

seeing all the posts about Smash Bros., it seems to me like the next convention you guys attend someone should bring an N64 and throw down!

I was in a tournament for Smash Bros. last week up at college, I ended up getting 4th place using Link - I was the only Link entrant, I guess nobody thinks he's good. But there are always people who claim that they are incredible at Smash and they always beat their friends, then they come to the tournament and get destroyed, realizing that their friends are actually really bad players.

Super Mario World and Pokemon snap will forever be favorites.
Also I find myself playing the Red, Yellow, and Blue versions of Pokemon often.

[gannz]

Has to be Final Fantasy 7 if we're talking playstation.
If we're talking SNES then it has to be Chrono Trigger, such a good RPG with an insane and advanced fighting system considering its time.
Both are great RPGs.

[Mobius]

I still play the old Street Fighter Collection. And to this day the only characters I ever play as are Ryu, Ken and Akuma, despite very similar fighting styles.

[antipasto]

Two games that I still- and probably always will love- are GoldenEye on N64 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on PS1. I used to play those games 24/7. Now I don't get to play them as often, now that I have more of a social life. But I still get around to it every now and then.

[Gyso]

PRO Scollup opening 1998. Crap game. Crap graphics. Crap gameplay. Crap idea. Crap whoever thinks it's a sport. But i don't like it, i just don't like making normal post. Wellington boots.

[Derelict]

F-19 Stealth Fighter. It came out a little before I was born, but my dad was absolutely obsessed with it. Essentially it's a flight simulator where you destroy targets. I remember how realistic it seemed, and then we got a SNES and I never played it again until recently. It's probably one of the funnest games I've played, and yet it's so disgustingly simple.

[Urser]

Boulder Dash for the C64 is still a great game. Nothing beats the original! My mother always used to play it.

Adventure Island for the NES was a great game too. It was one of the first platformers I've ever played. It's such a challenge and brings back loads of memories.

[Valairoen]

Crystalis for the NES is one of the greatest games ever, but the only other person I know who has played it is my brother. Sad that such a classic goes underappreciated.
For the SNES, any time playing Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, or Donkey Kong Country is time well spent.
And I've probably spent more of my life playing Final Fantasy Tactics than any two people should.

[Prawnatron]

I just started plying Pikmin the other day, and it rekindled my love for it.

[Spirit_Crusher]

International Super Star Soccer Deluxe, the best game i ever played... and I still play it! hahaha. Snes rules

[lolguy]

For me, probably Super Maro Bros., the original sonic, and the first metroid.

[Iceshade]

I just started in to Super Mario RPG again because that game is just wonderful.

[thomas30113]

The original Super Mario Bros, Kidicarus, and the first Castlevania game. I don't know why but these games are great, except for the Castlevania game, I just want to beat all of the Castlevania games.
