I wish I had something to contribute, but I never really got to play many old games...

I lived off of Excite Bike and Bomberman, and some NES baseball game I can't remember the name of.

I honestly barely remember any, and I sure played lots of them.

I wonder how many people out there will figure out this one.

Also, tons of games on Commodore-like 'computer'. I can't even recall them, as I was <7 when I played them. I never really knew their titles and I simply reffered to them as 'roller skates' (because there was a guy riding them in the game - it was a standard left to right platformer but you only jumped etc. as he was going forward all the time; you could buy upgrades after you finished the level), 'swords' (platformer where the you used sword to fight, I don't remeber much more), 'soldiers' (it was a rather well known game I think; you were commanding a squadron of soldiers, can't recall anything else, though) etc. Good times, I played them with my sister (we hate each other nowadays).

Oh yeah, I forgot about some arcade games.

Is Earthworm Jim 2 that much better than the first one? My friend and I were just discussing this a few days ago.

>>2331

Do you honestly think I remember them? I'm not even 100% sure I cleared them. It was long ass time ago.

>>2320

Oh man, I loved Jazz Jackrabbit.
I think Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was the first not-pirated game I ever had.

I always thought Hsien Ko was cute. I mostly played through Red and Blue story on Saga Frontier. I never played the second game, but I remember getting really mad when I saw the "to be continued" screen at the end of Blue's story. I think that's how I learned english, playing this game. My uncle had a dictionary, and i had to look up a lot of words to progress through the story.

Played it so much I'm surprised my N64 didn't catch fire. I even called the Nintendo Counselors once to ask what the point of getting those stairs that lead to your roof was when nothing ever happened up there.


There was no point to them. You need them for 100% completion but that's it

My mother has told me that I was obsessed with Zelda, I think she meant Link to the Past.

I remember Final Fantasy 6 and Secret of Mana topping my list too.

I never got really far. I think that underwater level was as far as I went.

I loved this game.

I played this game a lot. Probably more than Ocarina of Time.

This was my favourite game. I remember first playing it at some kind of Japanese culture or animation expo during an interstate trip. I was messing around in the first village and I couldnt believe how amazing the graphics were and you could ride around on dogs and chickens!

I also used to like this game called Dragon Crystal. It was the first roguelike game I played. I never managed to beat it.

Two controllers, three siblings, and a whole lot of punches thrown.

Super Mario RPG was awesome, and I played it again about a year ago and it was just as awesome. Getting a strategy guide for it was why I signed up for nintendo power

I had so much fun with this with about the only friend I have ever had. I miss him.

I remember playing this at the arcades.
I always chose the Mexican with the dual shotguns.

Oh shit son.
This was among the first games I played as a kid.

Contrary to genesis and up, Game Gear Sonic games were pretty challenging. You should have played Sonic 2. That shit was ridiculous. When I finally played the genesis versions, I was surprised at how easy they were.

Pic somewhat related.
This was probably the easiest Game Gear Sonic game.

This game seemed hard as hell back then and I actually don't remember getting past the second stage.

>>2337
Love this game, I wish I could play it again.

>>2592
I played the SNES version and used cheats to get to the end. It's hilarious because when you save your dad he looks exactly like he did in the original pitfall.

I used to play this loads as a kid. Just downloaded a ROM and beat it from start to finish in 3 hours without ever visiting that heroin addicted slut Candy Kong to save or backtrack to earlier levels to stock up on lives. Was still fun though, and the music was as catchy as I remembered.

>>2331

I remember preferring the first, but can't think of many reasons why. The second did have some fucking annoying flight levels and was a bit less difficult but felt more polished, maybe. I was very fond of both though.

I used to play a lot of the Lion King SNES game as well, because I loved the film. Mario Kart was great but I didn't have any friends to race with in it, and my sister would only play with me if we just drove around to explore the levels and go swimming in the ponds and stuff.

Oh man. In elementary school I was in an advanced class thing that I went to once a week and pretty much all we did was watch Bill Nye, play with clay, or play with computers. That game was one of those computer games. I remember the Queen's attack was like humping the enemy to death or something. There was also some sort of baking game where you played as a robot

Always had a soft spot for Chrono Trigger.

Yeah. I still play these games on the emulator when I'm on nostalgia kicks. I also pretend the newer games and the horrific fanbase surrounding the whole thing don't exist.

Warhawk: the Red Mercury Missions for the PS1

Play but never finished the original King's Quest....
Good times though.

Golvellius: Valley of Doom.

Sure, I never beat it, and the controls are horrible, but I really loved this game.

I really want to see the rest of the game, I should probably put some effort into finishing it. Wish I still had my old Master System, but emulation will do fine.

25 years of Shoryuken.

I died so many times flying into invisible walls in an attempt to explore the levels.

I loved the wizard areas the most.

I don't exactly remember the titles of the games...

But there was this one Sega(?) game that was co-op. It had the same feel as Resident Evil but the plot was more crimefighting than zombies.

There was also another game for some arcades. It had you as a raptor I'm guessing and you ran around fighting other dinosaurs, it also had a top-down view.

Those were real fun.

>>2602
I loved that game, until my brother's dog pissed on the cartridge.

What a shame.

I remember playing this when i was young, i remember playing it a lot. I'm trying to get it to work but i think i will have to use a virtual machine

>>7596
Is it for Windows? I suggest using 3Danalyze, as it's probably much faster than most VM solutions anywhere(are there any even capable of decent 3D acceleration?). I've only tried it with Omikron: Nomad Soul, and it runs like a charm.

>>7598
No, it doesn't like 64-bit operating systems that's all.

I've been playing super metroid and even though it's great and I like the exploration, I've gotten lost and needed a guide like 4 times. No wonder 8 year old me played it for 15 minutes and quit

Doom, every episode, including fan-made ones.
I especially liked to load a custom WAD file(OUTSIDE2.WAD comes to mind), with the "no monsters" setting enabled, and then just walk around in an empty level, watching the scenery.
