I noticed a lot of video game threads on here and I decided to start my own. I Remember when I was growing up, I would play on the Sega Genesis or the Nintendo for hours on end. My favorite Nintendo games were Ninja Turtles, Metroid and of course the entire Mario series. As for Sega, I liked Mortal Kombat, and Sonic the hedgehog. Sonic is my favorite video game series of all time. I have beaten every sonic game at least a couple of times. I remember watching the cartoon too. i also have the Sonic movie. Anyway, Sonic is the man!!! Super and Hyper Sonic were cool too! I also liked Pacman a lot. Anyway, what are your favorite games fo the old school?

I started with the Nintendo, and ended up owning a massive library of over 150 games, including all the Marios, Turtles, Castlevanias, Duck Tales, Metal Gears, etc etc etc. More games than i can remember.
I loved Castlevania 2: Simons Quest the most i think. The first true RPG! But nothign beats the original Mario for oldskoolness of course. The version of NES i got came with the double cart Mario/Duck Hunt and the Lazer Gun!
But dude, how could your forget the King of the oldskool games, ZELDA??

Later i moved up to Sega Mega Drive (also called Genesis in NA) and owned close to 60 games including all the sonics (Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3D blast, Sonic and Knuckles etc etc.) Jurassic Park was awesome i remember, but i LOVED ToeJam and Earl!!

Old School?

number one was Castlevania: Symphony of the night.
now that was an awsome game
but i also loved Sonic....
but thats about it

Symphony is not old school.
We're talking 10 years past here.

Mario just kicked some serious ass. Honestly, if it weren't by him, I wouldn't be playing videogames (the honor goes specially to Super Mario World).

Also... Monkey Island. I LOVE IT!!! And Sonic also kicked ass

Burnside, you will be shocked to know that I have never played a Zelda game in my life.

NO!!!!! REALLLY????

Well, I haven't really either

Then you know nothing of old skool!

Download a NES emulator, download The Legend of Zelda and PLAY.

pfft, i was only like 5 then

thats old school to me

Then you are not an oldskool gamer.
Oldskool is SNES and beyond. Anything after SNES is newskool.

I do! And now, remembering well, I have played a Zelda game, really, I have a Nintendo 64 emulator with Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and played it on SNES, but no, I haven't played it on NES. I will though

fine!

*leaves thread*

I have one. I also have a Sega Genesis opne, and on for Sega Game Gear. I'll get Zelda today and play it.

I have a Master System, Genesis, SNES and NES emulator, with a library of over 900 games in total. All oldskoo!

What about Atari everyone?! Adventure was the best game. It just looked funny.

I remember Adventure VERY poorly, but i remember.
I think i must have been about 5 myself when that was around.

My Fav. Atari game was DIZZY.

I actually owned a copy of what I'm sure was the original Gradius game$$$

I only played Atari once at my friends house...

I used to have two Atari systems with about one hundred games. My mom sold them both for ten dollars each, both with fifty games. Still haven't forgiven her.

I KNOW!!
I miss my NES/SEGA.
Imagine how cool it would be to still have them.

My favorite has too be uhh Contra:Alien Wars. Me and my cousin would play this for hours. Over and over again.

Mine was the classic set....mario/dunkhunt!!!

i also loved the ninja turtle games

Lol, I still have my NES. Needs a new part though, because it doesn't work...

That sucks. I say get it repaired and spare no expenses.

my favorite game was crono trigger for snes my avaters a guy from the sequel crono cross

Yup. Seen atleast 15 people on different boards use that pic.

CT was the most incredible RPG ever.

what my avater? no one steals my avater but if so who did

and they remade ct on ps and i bought it

yeah. mainly a port, but the anime movies were awesome.

There is a thing called Console Classix, where youi can play NES and Atari games on your computer.
go to downloads.com and get it

Oh, Mario was and still is the bomb

You're a little behind the times man. They've been around for years.

I have NES, SNES, GENESIS, MASTER SYSTEM, PS and N64 emulators on my computer, able to download any game for those emulators and play them.

No, but this, you download the thing, creat an account and you play em online,. Obviously I know about roms.My friend has an obbsession with SNES rpgs

So whats the difference between this 'download and play games' to the emulation 'download and play games'?

With the thin i mention, You download the 2mb server thing, and thats it. You creat an account, and play the games over the net. No more downloading required

Ahh gotchya. That does sound pretty cool.

Can you save or do you have to start over every time?

can you gimme the web site

o_o i have a Dragon, Commodore 16, Commodore 64, Master System 2, NES, SNES.....even one of the first consoles called "space chess".....

The metal slug games

My favorite was Pong. For the younger set that was a game for the Atari system

my fav. of the marios has to be #3...
in atari, all i ever had was Pacman...cus we kept breaking the joysticks...
In Sega...I would say between Street Fighter and Streets of Rage
...and that one game...can't remember the name of it...but
it's a guy in a suit of armor that anytime he gets hit, he loses it and runs around in boxers...he's fighting skeletons and gets these weapons as he goes along...

WHAT IS THAT GAME??? it's driving me nuts

That would be Ghosts and Goblins, for the NES.

Very Classic game.

..

Or was it Gouls and Goblins?..
Ghosts and Gouls?..

Anyway..

Ghosts n' Goblins, Burnsy and HD. Looked it up. I don't remember playing that one...

I knew it was Ghosts and Goblins.


Very old classic NES game, one of the first i believe. VERY hard!!

my favorite old skool game waz donkey kong 1 for SNES. it was my first game.

Yes, donkey kong was awesome. But do you know wat is the worst old skool game? The michael jackson game.

They made a Michael Jackson game?! What idiot thought that up? What do you do, see how many little kids you can touch in thirty seconds and how far over the balcony you can hold the baby before you drop it?

Believe it or not OneEye, Michael Jackson wasn't always a freak. He used to be a black teen heart throb, a legend.


That been said... in the Michael Jackson's Moonwaker game... umm...

Well. Basically. You play as Michael Jackson, beating up baddies with girly kicks and yells. You can perform a special dancing move to 'Smooth Criminal' while making all the baddies dance and then fall over, dead. It was kinda neat, in a way. There was a graveyard level with zombies and stuff.

But, well, the objective of the game left something foreshadowed... MJ had to save little girls and boys who would scream 'Oh Michael' when he... touched them...

yeah, Mike was a pimp back in the '80s. He got wierd when he turned himself white, but his musci was still cool, however, I lost respect for him after this recent scandal.

the best all time old school game is wolfenstien 3d it was banned in germany i assume you can guess why
