Retro-ish Gaming!

7 Dying Trees · 11-04-2005, 01:03 PM

What's everyone's favorite old games (ie on anything that is older than the current generation of consoles etc or PC's)?

I've just gone and got myself Soul Blade and Final Fantasy VII of ebay. I loved both games, despite them not looking brilliant anymore. The game play is just, well, fun (and they were "vaguely" cheap, for some reason FF7 goes for a fair amount)

I'm also thinking of getting a dreamcast and get old games for it on the cheap...hmmm... I see another addiction coming on...

Dead or Alive 2 for Playstation 2! Man, that game owns. Not to mention the first Red Alert. The Ranger-jeeps were great, as well as the russian grenadiers and flamethrowers.

I'm still partial to the video game classics of the 80s. 2-D happiness.

How old are you? 2 years does not make a game retro

Retro is like NES, SNES, Arcade, Genesis, Intellivision, Sega Saturn, Atari 5200, Atari 2600, etc.

I'm a total nerd when it comes to retro games.

Apple II:

Zork I, II, III
Karateka
Lode Runner
Captain Goodnight

NES:

Double Dragon I, II, III
Ninja Gaiden I, II, III
TMNT
Castlevania I, II (Castlevania II is one of my top 5 all time favorite games)
Strider
Kung Fu
The Legend of Zelda

SNES:

Final Fight
TMNT 4
Street Fighter 2
Mortal Kombat

PC:
(90s era)

All the Commander Keen games
Front Page Sports Football
Leisure Suit Larry 1, 5, & 6
Space Quest I-IV
Duke Nukem 3D
