Until it came out for N64, both sequels of which were pretty fun. Joust is probably my favorite out of the three, because, although the graphics were pretty good for an A800 game, Spy Hunter just didn't appeal to me, and the gameplay was meh, too.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	I like playing really old Nintendo/NES games like Super Mario World 3, Duck Hunt, some Lion King game I have, etc... On Playstation, I still play Final Fantasy VII, which was created almost eight years ago! I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003	Wolfenstein 3D The best! Other than that I played mostly shareware games... shareware was the best, back in the day. Now hardly anything is shareware and what is is more like demos, they rarely come with a good trial period... Escape Velocity was one of the good ones... and more popular. My brother still plays it, but I don't have a copy on my computer. Yipe! was my favorite. Hilarious yet challenging at the same time. Excellent. ><>

Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004	All that is old is new again. The must have game this Christmas is the retro style joysticks that plug directly into your TV and come with a selection of old Atari or Nintendo games. Those of us who are "old school" game nerds can now feel vindicated. Now I'm gonna go fire up my Galaga and see if I can beat my wife's high score!

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	Return to Monkey Island (the series) was one of the better games I've played to this day. Definitely a classic. Grim Fandango was good, too. As a general rule, lucasarts was good up until they released galaxies. On the other hand, my SNES collection is pretty huge, and though they aren't what I'd consider "vintage", the games it spawned are definitely groundbreakers (EARTHBOUND?  ?).

Toirtis Mega Fish Posts: 1260 Kudos: 529 Votes: 6 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	I had a Magnavox Odyssey, an Atari 2600 when it first hit the shelves, and played a few on a C64 (Forbidden Forest was a fave)...oh yes, and played the first tabletop Pong game in Western Canada on the day it arrived....hows that for retro?

It came out before Wolfenstein 3D, great game.....ah memories. I also had a commodore 64, now that's old school. As of right now, I'm playing dragon warrior for the nes, oh man what a classic.

I like old text based adventure style games, sierra Leisure Suit Larry and others, Wolfenstein 3D, you name it. . . anyone have any games they feel like reminiscing about?

mattyboombatty Moderator Tenellus Obsessor Posts: 2790 Kudos: 1507 Votes: 1301 Registered: 26-Mar-2004	Metroid is my favorite series EVER....all the games are awesome...except I haven't played the new one on the gamecube so I don't know about that. And moondog, you must be a packrat. I don't have room to hold onto all my old stuff, unfortunately. Oh, how about King's Quest?
