Anyone got some favorite old school games?
I personally waste hours on this supposed "Tekken" game. damn that thing is hard :/
Before mid 2003, I was stuck with using a Cyrix 150Mhz, so I got a chance to spend a lot of time downloading (over 56k) and playing a lot of abandonware. Duke Nukem was always good fun.
Before that, was my Sega Master System. Goddamn. I spent many hours playing paperboy, sonic, and other various games for it.
Donkey kong. You cant go wrong with an age old classic.
Overall: Civilization 1.
FPS: Duke Nukem 3D.
Hybrid: System Shock 1 or Out of this World.
Scrolly: Black Thorne.
Strategy: Begins.
Odd: Dreamweb.
Horror: Alone in the Dark.
Adventure: anything by Lucas Arts.
Flight: X-Wing.
Text: Zork I-III.
BBS: LoRD or TW2002.
Probably missed a few good ones.
Whoops, forgot Scorched Earth and Worms.
shin megami tensei
Gradius
Layer Section
Baku Baku Animal
Mario & Sonic xD
and a lot more :P (i am a collector)
Add Sacrifice to that list. The most amazing game I've never heard of. I started playing it two days ago. Just wow.
It's not oldschool, but it's abandonware. Probably because Interplay (RIP) went belly-up.
Arkanoid, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Yoshi's Island
Yoshi's Island is awesome. It has all the platforming fun with only 20% of the frustration!
>>11 Yes! Someone who understands my feelings! (T^T) Yoshi's Island was the best, great graphics, full of secrets, fun and simple controls...
I'm replaying it right now trying to get 100% on all levels, including the bonus levels...! It's hard, but I know I can do it!! (>o<)
Night Trap. Word to Dana Plato!
Par-fucking-odius.
someone needs to rom hack the yaranaika guy into that game
R.B.I. Baseball
Come with me into the cave, child.
Ultima 6
Super Mario Bros (series)
Legend of Zelda (through LTTP)
FFI (but I use easy mode) -- Is it true that Square thought Americans were too stupid for the regular mode?
Pac-Man
Pole Position.
Twinkle Star Sprites
I was gonna say Sonic 2, Phantasy Star IV, Outrun or Pulseman, but then I remembered I liked Megaman waaay before I got the SEGA Genesis.
But what the Hell, everyone else's making lists.
