Retro Gaming

[Wolf Kanno]

I've been trying to tackle my Steam account lately, so I'm immersing myself in two 90s classics: Half Life and Fallout 1. Been interesting so far to say the least. I'm surprisingly liking Half Life a bit more since it was much easier to pick up and I apparently need to really read the manual for Fallout to get a better grasp of it's controls and rules. I also still have a save for DQII (NES) on the backburner and I plan on finishing Mystic Quest and Lufia 1 this summer.

So what retro titles have you been playing lately? For the sake of this thread, I'm going to say the game has to be a minimum of ten years old or last century to count as retro.

I wasn't going to consider Grandia II a retro game but wow it's been 16 years. Time flies.

Also Earthbound and Breath of Fire III. I have a ton of classic RPG's to try soon!

Atari Vault. Goodness but I can't play Yars' Revenge without dumping hours into it. What a brilliant, brilliant game.

Youre asking the Queen of Retro so.....I'm currently playing Resident Evil 2 and loving it. I'm also pretty good at it

I'm even too old skool for Steam :-P

[Del Murder]

Probably the last retro game I played was Front Mission 3 about a year ago. I actually played most all the 'retro' games I wanted to play back when they originally came out, because I am old.

The first Fallout is pretty easy once you get the control. Actually there is a quick guide that you can view by using F1, if you didn't know already.

As for me, beside FFVI, I'm playing Super Metroid on emulator, which I've never played. The only Metroid game I've played is the Zero Mission on GBA actually.

I've been playing FFVI lately.

I just finished replaying Suikoden 1 and 2 a couple days ago! Now I'm playing Tales of Destiny, which I was never able to play when it was new because it never came to England - but as I got a US videogame magazine I knew of it and desperately wanted to play it. We'll see if it lives up to my pubescent fantasies of an exceptional RPG!

Yeah, it's just trying to get the rhythm down. I made a character, fought my way out of the cave using up all my stim packs, and then got ambushed by Rad Scorpions in the desert that murdered me fairly quickly.

I miss Final Fantasy Tactic from ps1, chrono trigger/cross, crash bandicoot and spyro the dragon.

Dusted off the old SNES recently. Currently playing through A Link to the Past, although I've given some time to Super Mario All Stars and Aladdin too.

[Vermachtnis]

For some reason I've been thinking about Xenogears alot. And I've been playing Breath of Fire II off and on for awhile now.

[theundeadhero]

I'm currently replaying the second chapter of Kings Quest, but it's the playstation remake so I don't think it counts.

[Colonel Angus]

Lately I've been playing Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain.

I love Crash Bandicoot and Spyro 2. I'm not as good at Crash Bandicoot as I used to be.

The most retro I go is 16 bit era, as its the first set of games I played. I've got Lemmings 2 on the SNES and I keep dipping into Superfrog which is installed on my PC.
