I hardly ever play old school games these days, although Bomberman on the Sega is still awesome with a few friends.
yeah well... they have a lot of rpg elements..but whateverQuote:

I play my Sega Mega Drive from time to time, even though I don't have many games for it.
I worship T of D.
With the exception of the PS1, I still have all my old consoles. NES, SNES, and N64. I loved the Zelda games on N64, and I was a big fighting game freak when I got the SNES; that started with Street Fighter 2, and continued with Samurai Showdown, Killer Instinct, Clay Fighter (a hilarious one, though), etc. That continued when I had the N64 (though my favorite game on that console was Star Fox 64). When I got the PlayStation, I was really into Tekken, and it was my mom who introduced me to Final Fantasy 7, in the form of getting it for me for Christmas the year it came out. I thought Battle Arena Toshinden was going to be bad-ass when the PlayStation was first launched, so when I first got a PlayStation, I rented Battle Arena Toshinden once, but it got boring rather quickly.
The only time I ever felt ripped off when buying a video game was when Mortal Kombat came to the home consoles, and back in those days, you most likely either had an SNES or a Genesis (having both was a rarity); well, I just so happened to have an SNES. I bought Mortal Kombat, and I was like...where the hell's all the blood? I can't believe they replaced it with that [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] that looks like sand...and what happened to the cool Fatalities from the Genesis port like the Spine Rip, Heart Rip, Lightning Decapitation, and Uppercut Decapitation (my cousin had the Genesis version and showed me the blood code for it; which the SNES didn't have)? I didn't want to give up my SNES in favor of Genesis, though, because Super Mario World was still one of my favorite games at the time, and at the time my dad wanted me to either have an SNES or a Genesis, and not both. Thankfully, Nintendo aborted their no-violence policy upon realizing that the Genesis version of MK1 majorly outsold the SNES version, and put the blood in MK2 for SNES.
the games that are 18-32 are best because nobody had uber high expectations we just took a leap and now if it oesnt do something new but story 3 or 4 out of 10
Actraiser kthnx.
Nobody expected much from games in the past but now, since we've had a lot of jumps in graphics and gameplay, if a game doesn't introduce something unique then it is considered worse than others.Quote:

thats what i was saying back then all things ended up being different mostly but now everything is scrutinized too much gore not enough fighting too much running around not realistic enough its hard to be good when youre judged that hard
my favorite games are the old ones. Super Mario Bros. 3, Final Fantasy 3j, Zelda: A Link to the Past, (a lot of 3rd games), Super Metroid, Zelda II: Link's Adventure, Super Mario Bros. 2j. Great games... all made prePlaystation, also all Nintendo... hmm... I also like Bomberman for the TG16, as well as Bonk's Revenge. Bonk 3 wasn't up to par though...
I play all of these games (excluding FF3j because I don't have a famicom) on my consoles whenever I can. My NES and SNES are both set up on my big TV, and the games are awesome. It would be nice if I could get an emulated ROM ported to an NES cart though... imagine that... a modified game on a real NES... Woot!
Happiness is beating the speederbike level of Battletoads after fifteen years of not being able to do it. <3
Bonk 3 was BAD. :)Quote:

genesis is my secret guilty pleasure console...though a lot of people would say it was a mainstream system back in the day, i still find the library kinda lacking in quantity of enkoyable games...but i so enjoyed gems like phantasy star 4 and shining force 2...ooooh and crusader of centy! anyone remember that one? heheh
