Old School Video Games

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Does anybody here still play with the older consoles like the Super Nintendo or the Sega Genesis? I recently bought a Nintendo 64 and I also bought a copy of Paper Mario...Because I just got done playing Paper Mario : The Thousand-Year Door and I heard it was a sequel to the original Paper Mario which was on the Nintendo 64 platform. So I decided to go back and play the original to see what it was like and it was pretty fun but I think The Thousand-Year Door is one of those rare sequels that is actually better than the original.

i have them locked away in my closet...but i play all the games on my pc...emulation is awesome!

[ValkyrieWing]

Heh. Turbo Grafix 16 forever!

And Atari...I have both and they still work.

[Araciel]

TURBO GRAFX....totally forgot....tiger road was the all time greatest game

XD

I liked Bonk and Keith Courage. Oh, and on the CD, Y's FOREVER!

The best games were made between the 16-bit and 32-bit era. Bottom line. All the best: Phantasy Stars, Final Fantasies, Legends of Zelda, Metroid, Shining Forces, Tales of Destinies, Star Ocean... Man, the list goes on and on.

is it a coincidence that those are all RPGs?
heh

SNES = Super Metroid = Win

[Madame Adequate]

Mega Drive = Cannon Fodder, Flashback, and Eternal Champions.

Yes to all of those.

I tend to Snesulate, Gensulate and Nesulate on a regular basis. Many of the games of yester year don't compare in terms of immersion or presentation, but for a quick blast you can't beat some of the classics.

Incidentally I've yet to find a two-player game on the face of the planet better than Gunstar Heroes.

I still play the sega megadrive (genesis) and also Amiga from time to time. Less at the moment but I have them both pretty much set up. Most recently I was playing cannon fodder on the amiga and sonic spinball on the megadrive. Megadrive is the best console C64 is great too but too long to load these days (and emulators are blah)

Well, supposedly, the Zelda and Metroid games are more action-based and not considered RPGs, so smleh...

[Mo-Nercy]

I replay Tales of Phantasia and Chrono Trigger a helluva lot. But other than that, I'm more into arcade games and arcades tend to keep their games pretty new. Though I'm always always play Daytona USA when there's other to play. It's just too easy ^^

I play old school videogames through emulation all the time.
