Title: Classic gaming thread
Post by: Raz on September 04, 2014, 08:57:13 PM
Bust out those CRTs and blow those cartridges!  Time for some talk about classic gaming!

Personally as much as I like playing games, i find a lot of the newer ones just dont hold my attention like some of the older titles.  anyone else find themselves still hooking up their snes / genesis / atari / ect. and playing some of their old games from time to time?

Personally I try to make a yearly play through of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 stars, and often find myself replaying games like yoshi's island, Megaman x, rogue squadron, and others even when my backlog is already huge  :sad:

I've never played altered beast, but is it comparable to lion king for snes in difficulty?

It's a port of an old quarter-eater Arcade game, so it's unfair

I still have my SNES and I still have a small collection of games for it. Zelda: Link to the past, Yoshi's Island, a mario or two, Urban Strike, Doom Troopers and a few others I can't remember and am too lazy to get up and check.

Zelda aside, my favorite SNES games were Spiderman: Maximum Carnage and Illusion of Gaia; the former having been stolen from me and the latter having been broken by siblings.

I had a Sega Master System. It was too cool  :sparkle: Space harrier was really fun. I also had lots of DOS and PC games, Hocus Pocus, Jazz Jackrabbit, all that neat stuff. Icewind dale is good too. I know i'm forgetting a ton of stuff but there's so much I played back then.

Favorite Genesis game is Ranger X  :laugh:

Quake 3 Arena for life, baby. Quake Live doesn't have the same charm but it's still a pretty tight game.

Its really funny how when you're young you can spend such a stupid amount of time on something and not make any progress.  Iirc it took me over 6months to beat ocarina of time on my first playthrough because i was having so much fun with it.  Now i can beat that game in a night when i want to play it.

I didn't have that many games for my PS1.

But I had like 30 demo discs.

My older brothers use to buy the playstation mags for the demos. I have all of the old cds still in my room still.

Ah, demos in magazines. Those were the days.

I remember one that came with a trailer for MGS4, and being in awe at the graphics.

What happened to joy?

And as for classic games, I submit Legend of the Dragoon and Threads of Fate for the approval of the council.
