Old School Gaming

[penguinminor]

This thread is basically here to discuss old school gaming classics. :cool:

I started playing Nintendo back when I was 3 or 4 years old. My older siblings bought one and I luckily inherited it when they moved out.
I never had an SNES as a kid, just an NES until '97 when I finally had enough money to buy a Nintendo 64.

But, in the years between, I played a lot of NES games. I even managed to acquire an old Coleco Vision (anyone remember that?) at a yard sale and an old Atari from my uncle.
Ahh ... you just can't measure up to classics like that.

Some of my favorite older games:

Joust (played on my Atari)
Buggy Boy (also on the Atari)
Dragon Warrior (NES)
Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
Faxanadu (NES)

I could keep on listing them, up until the days when I did finally get a SNES (about the time I got my first job), but that could take days.

Basically, discuss your favorite classic games and share memorable gaming stories. :3

[evilmingdoctor]

I liked this game some of the commodore 64 games such as paperboy and detective, they also had a fruit machine one which was pleasantly addictive

Ah, I remember Paperboy. That game was sweet. :cool:

Fruit machine ... ? That sounds ... interesting. :p

[earthboundwish]

My favorite vintage game would have to be... EarthBound! <3
The graphics fit the mood of the game perfectly, and the music is good too.

Never had a NES back in the day; only an SNES. But I have played some of the older Super Mario on Super Mario Old Stars (I think those were updated a bit though...). Mario FTW! XD

[sensei-]

I started playing with Atari with my cousins and I moved on to NES in 1991 I think (I was like 4 years old) My favorite games were : Contra, Double Dragon (this is one hell of a game), Super Mario 2, Pro Am and Castlevania (still one of my favorites).

Earthbound was SO awesome. I can't wait for the release of Mother 3. ^___^

@sensei-: Cool. :cool: I started playing NES back in 1990, when I was about 4 or so. I'm pretty sure that's when my brother and sister first got it.
I played a lot of Super Mario Bros. and Duckhunt back then.

[sensei-]

I forgot about the cassette that have Mario and Duckhunt. I use to play with that a lot too before I got my hands on Castlevania and Double Dragon. Man I think im going retro tonight jajajaja Thanks Soma!!!!!! (by the way I like your avatar)

Heh! Thanks. Yours is awesome, too. BECK is by farmy favorite series.
Can't wait for the rest of the volumes to be released here. :cool:

I've never played the first Double Dragon, but my brother, my friend and I played a lot of Double Dragon III. That game was TOUGH.
I don't think we ever made it further than level 4.

Another NES favorite of mine was Battletoads.
That game NEEDS a remake.

[sensei-]

Yea man Battletoads were awsome, I like the crossover with Double Dragon (the Battletoads games were so cool!). I also like the Ninja Turtles games, the first three on NES and the fourth on SNES.

I was more onto Double Dragon 1 because I used to paly it a lot on Arcade.

[penguinminor]

The Double Dragon/Battletoads crossover was pretty sweet.
Like I said, the game needs a remake/new version of the game. Maybe even something along the lines of the latest TMNT games, only with more adventuring, and the ability to beat up your team mates. :p

I remember playing TMNT II at the arcade a lot. Probably the only game I actually played there. Heh! So awesome.
Come to think of it, that was probably the first game I ever played all the way through.

[sensei-]

I did'nt expect TMNT II to be your first beaten game. I never play it on arcade, but I know it was there. My first beaten game was Contra with the 30 life cheat of course! Here's another Classic I enjoy Ninja Gaiden on NES it was hard but good!

[Riri_chan]

I remember playing my brothers nentendo when i was lil i think thats when they first came out(oh yha old school mario bros) that and i remember the original Gameboy i member it beeing bigger than what we have now and having the black and white screen

My lil cuz still has his brothers so sometimes i still play:D

[Togo]

Actually the game I miss playing is Mutant League Football
We used to get together on Saturday nights and play till early Sunday morning
It was always fun just trying to kill the other team.
I have a friend that till this day still reminds me how mad I used to get when I was winning then he'd pull some stunt that would wipe out half my team.

[sensei-]

The old gameboy was something every gamer of the old school remember. That and Tetris of course, that combination = tons and tons of hours of fun. I realy enjoyed A link to the Past on gameboy, I remember ther was a bundle that included A link to the Past.

Hellz, yeah! I'm trying to find the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for the SNES.
What made Ninja Gaiden so hard was that there were no save points and no passcodes. :p
I don't think I ever made it past the 6th stage. The one where there's the boss at the end who jumps around and shoots ... bullets? ... out at you.
So hard. Xp

I've still got my original Gameboy. With the box and everything. :cool:
And aside from the color Gameboy (the original Gameboy with different color casing, not Gameboy Color), I have every incarnation of the Gameboy that's been released so far.

[sensei-]

Moving on systems I think Earthbound is a very good RPG! I dont own the game now (it was stolen). Breath of Fire 1 and 2 were good too!

Soma do you have a big collection of consoles?

[penguinminor]

Breath of Fire II remains to this day to be one of my favorite RPG's. :)
Earthbound and BoF were also very awesome, but I really loved BoFII for some reason.

Hm, depends on what you consider to be big.
Big compared to some people, small in regards to others.

My console collection:

Atari
Nintendo Entertainment System
Game Boy
Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Gameboy Pocket
Sony Playstation
Nintendto 64
Gameboy Color
Sony Playstation 2
Gameboy Advance (original design)
Nintendo Gamecube
Gameboy Advance SP
Nintendo DS

No more Coleco Vision, though. My friend has it now. :D

[sensei-]

Very nice collection man, I dont have old consoles because I lost them when I moved like three years ago.

A clasic for the original gameboy will be Kirby,its a very good game. Also I remember Metroid 2 (the original Metroid was awsome too).

I only got to play Kirby on the Gameboy once. I still prefer Kirby's Adventure on the NES. Quite possibly the best Kirby game ever. :D

But a guy on my bus back in grade school let me borrow Metroid II once.
So awesome. I'm just glad that I had the adapter for the Gameboy, or I would have spent a forune on batteries playing that game. :p

[sensei-]

Tetris cost me more than $100 on bateries, I didnt have the adapter at that time (im so glad Nintendo chage all that with Advance SP).
On SNES i used to play Killer Instinct and Street Fighter 2 turbo all the time with my friends. Those two have arcade versions and they are awsome!

This is turning in a conversation jejeje what do you think soma?

Heh heh! Sure is!
I remember playing a lot of Killer Instinct with my girlfriend when I first met her. :p
Turns out she doesn't really like video games, though. Weird, no?
And speaking of Street Fighter 2 Turbo, my friend and I accidentally broke one of his SNES controllers during one of the bonus stages in that game. XD

[sensei-]

I broke more than 5 controles on Contra.
I use to play Contra with my ex all the time (I think she got tired of it jajajaja). I can't belice we still havent talk about Mega Man yet!!! Mega Man X is the best Mega Man game ever!!!

Ah, Megaman.
I still really love Megaman 2 and 4.
Megaman 4 was the first one I played, and 5 was the second.
Megaman 2 just really stands out in my memory because one of my best friends and I used to play that at his place all the time. That and Balloon Fight.

As far as the Megaman X games go, X3 was always my fav. Mostly because the bosses were just so cool. Especially Neon Tiger and Blizzard Buffalo.

[sensei-]

You realy need to get the Anniversary Edition and X Collection!
Well I dont know why but X realy stand out for me. The same With Castlevania 2, I mean Symphony of the night is awsome but for me is not better than 2 on NES

[penguinminor]

I never really got into the Castlevania games, sadly. T-T
I've played Dawn of Sorrow on the DS, and it was seriously awesome.
It's a series I should definitely get into.

[sensei-]

If you like Vampires you need to play Castlevania I mean the series is just Awsome.
Did you play Mortal Kombat 3?? I realy loved that game but only the original not the Ultimate one.

[penguinminor]

Mortal Kombat II was always my favorite.
Recently, my friend (the one who I played Megaman 2 and Balloon Fight with when we were kids) and I went on a Mortal Kombat binge. We went to one of the used game shops in town and bought Mortal Kombat 1-3 for the SNES and stayed up all night playing them. :D
Good times, good times.
We also played through all of Megaman X in a few hours one night.
That was cool.

[sensei-]

Wow your retro night seems very awsome. My friends and I just play Contra and Zombies Ate My Neighbors on SNES that is on hell of a party game!

[penguinminor]

Oh, man! Zombies Ate My Neighbours was another game that my g/f and I used to play all the time.
I think that was one game she actually really enjoyed. :D

[shikigami]

i used to have a regular old nintendo when i was like 3 it was the first console i had played till i was 7or 8 i had beaten mario bros and mario bros 3 by the time i started playin ps1

[penguinminor]

PSOne had some very awesome games, and some of them are highly valuable among collector's now a days.

My best gaming memories still rest with my NES, though. :3

[sensei-]

Thats the way games should be made again, I mean Nintendo its back with that kind of games on DS I hope the other companies follow up with Nintendo's Idea.
Im realy hoping Konami release a Castlevania collection but I think that aint happening.
Act Raiser is a game I realy love and play almost monthly!! I bet you havent play that one!

[sensei-]

shikigami you jump from NES to PS1?? thats a big change of graphics man, it must have been a shock when you saw the diference!

Wasn't that the one where you were a fallen angel or something like that?
I remember playing that a few years back when my friends moved back here from Ottowa. That was a cool game. I've been meaning to pick up Act Raiser 2 for the longest time, but haven't gotten around to it.
The used game store in my town still has a copy of it kicking around.
:P

[Jasper Cornelius]

I'm an old school gamer all the way! I love the clunky old hardware too. I'd love to see a game like RPG Maker that lets you make old school 2-D action games. Anyone know of anything like that? I'd love to make a simple game based on my character.

[sensei-]

You are like God and help people with their problems like killing monsters and stuff like that. You also can create the city the way you want to its pretty cool. Act Raiser 2 is not that good of a game if you consider it a sequel, you cant make your own city and thats a huge step backwards. Thanks to that game we have Dark Cloud nowdays

[sensei-]

Jasper you shoud probably like RPG maker XP (its for windows) you can fully configure the game the way you want to and also create your own characters and sorrounding. I have RPG maker XP and I recomend it all the way! (its a little hard to understand at first but all RPG maker games are that way)

Ah, in that case, I'll just try to find a copy of the first game.

[sensei-]

I also recomend you to look for X-men Mutant Apocalypse for SNES

[Riri_chan]

When i was lil and my big bro would play i would love the songs they played... Wait i still do!!I luve old school videogame themes :D

[penguinminor]

^__^
Same here. Classic video game music is awesome.
It's cool to see a lot of new bands doing old school game covers. I guess most of them grew up with these games as well. :D

[Miata]

Zelda you got to love it. It was way more challenging than all the new Zeldas out today. Love them all anyways!

[Aratos]

As oppsoed to Zelda II which was a horrible horrible mistake on miyamotos part...

[penguinminor]

Zelda II was awesome, despite what people may say.
Seriously, what's the issue that people have with that game? It added a new depth to the Zelda series, and the story was awesome.
2-D side scrolling + Zelda = awesome :cool:

[Aratos]

Simple. The combat was boring and monotonous and the need to spend ages doing it in order to level up was just plain dull.

Maybe I should go replay it then write an article....

The combat is no different from previous Zelda games. Sure, there are more classic style RPG elements rather than an adventure game, but it's still awesome.

[Aratos]

It's completely different. It's in a different perspective, you get jumped by bloody mobs and then flung into a screen of unlimited combat, it contains levelling up, I could go on for days. It's a different game entirely.

[Alphonse Elric]

atari was so awsome when i was lil

[sensei-]

I can say Atari still fun to play

[penguinminor]

It all depends on what kind of games you like.
Personally, I love it.

[penguinminor]

But of course. :cool:
I still have my Atari, but I haven't played it in ages.
I should hook it back up this weekend.:D

[sensei-]

you dont have E.T??? thats the most creepiest game I have ever played

[zibbit]

for the most memrable NES game was Track and Field with the Power Pad that was awesome. how can you not love button mashing with your feet lol.

I wish i could play that game agin, but we let one of are friends borrowed all are NES games when we got the SNES and never saw them agin :(

[sensei-]

Thats too bad man. Track and Field was realy cool.

I've learned never to loan out my classic games.
I'm a little more lenient when it comes to my PS2 and Gamecube games, but other than that, I don't lend out my babies. :D

@sensei-: Luckily, I don't have E.T. I did play it though. So. Boring.

[sensei-]

How can we talk about old school gaming without puting on the best game of all time PONG!!! (I can play for hours man) also there is Asteroids but I dont play Asteroids that much (still a good game)

[Riri_chan]

LOL yha Pongs awsome so Centapeed(sp?) and PACMAN

[sensei-]

I forgot about Pac-Man, I play that on the arcade near my house. People think im weird because I only play old games on the arcade but **** **** thats a clasic!!!!

[penguinminor]

Hmm ... Pong was a little before my time.
And by a little, I mean a lot. :D
Pac-Man was always one of my favorites. I still can't resist playing it if I ever see it in an arcade nowadays.

[Riri_chan]

yha a friend of mine bough the Pac-man home gave thingy.....
Yha hours of fun.
Evern if there are better new games out there nothing really beats Old School gaming ^^

I want to get an ultracade machine, but it's really expensive.

And it is a lot of fun.
There are some really cool games included on there. Some of them I've never even heard of. o_O

[Riri_chan]

Kool Street Fighter!I alwasys had fun playing that game^^

[Mithsipan]

Wow...My favorite old school game is Platform Megaman or Galaga. Sweet....

[penguinminor]

Kool Street Fighter!I alwasys had fun playing that game^^

Street Fighter is a classic.
They even have a Stree Fighter Anniversary arcade machine at www.ultracade.com
It's pretty awesome, but it's real expensive. o_O

@Mithsipan: Megaman is awesome. I was never a big fan of Galaga, though.
Didn't really have much of a chance to play it.

I like Galaga because I played it since I was 3. I was never good at it but play it every time I can. (I can go to Stage 37 or something on 1 credit.) I got better over the years.

Like I said, I didn't really get much of a chance to ever play it, since the only place that had the game around here was the bowling alley, and the got rid of the game years ago.

[Mithsipan]

Oh yeah, Another Classic Game I like was 'Dig Dug.' If anyone remembers it.
My Favorite MegaMan is MMX or MMX4. Good Times....and maybe The Legend of Zelda : A link to the past.....good times.

[penguinminor]

Dig Dug was a sweet game.
Apparently there's a new one for the DS, but I haven't played it yet.
Out of the original Megaman games, 2 and 4 were my faves. From the X series, 3 was always my favorite.

[Agent R]

Secret of Mana!

And theres alway the FF games, BoF, LoZ... but SoM was the best!

[sensei-]

yea man I can't play too much new games for hours like I play Pong, Pac-Man and Galaga

Dig-Dug is way fun too, Secret of Mana is a great game

I've never heard of a DD for DS. I've never got to beat X3, X2 was hard, really hard. Of the original MM, I like 2,3,4,6, and little the 7 for SNES.

[Mithsipan]

yea man I can't play too much new games for hours like I play Pong, Pac-Man and Galaga

I really enjoy Galaga, how far can you get with a credit?

[sensei-]

with 1 credit I can go to stage 50 or something like that Im not that good playing Galaga on arcade

[Mithsipan]

with 1 credit I can go to stage 50 or something like that Im not that good playing Galaga on arcade

well, you're better than me, about stage 37.

[sensei-]

37?? That still great, I mean the game is just not easy. My record is 52 and my average like 37.

[penguinminor]

Secret of Mana!

And theres alway the FF games, BoF, LoZ... but SoM was the best!

I've always like the stories in the Mana games, but I could never really play them.
I didn't like the battle system. The art is great, though.:D

[Mithsipan]

My favorite games are RPG's, I like FF3 alot.

[sensei-]

I actualy never beat one Mana game jejejejeje

[Mithsipan]

yeah, they are pretty hard. How about "The Illusion of Gaia" for Snes?
I've beaten it.

[penguinminor]

I just managed to get a copy of that game a couple of months ago.
Still haven't gotten around to playing it, though. Xp

[sensei-]

I still cant beat that one. Maybe one of this days I'll stop playing Contra and Double Dragon and go Old-School RPG

[sensei-]

Where do you buy that any Snes games Soma?

[penguinminor]

Where do you buy that any Snes games Soma?

There's a store in town that buys a lot of used games from people and then sells them. You never know what kind of rare games you'll find there.
I managed to get a copy of Breath of Fire with the box, Illusion of Gaia, and a few more.
It's a pretty awesome place.
They have games from the NES all the way up to the 360.

[Jaguar]

I used to have an NES and a Sega Genesis, but they're both gone now. =(
Now the oldest systems I have are my Dreamcast and my PS1.

[Deshiwat]

My first system was an SNES and the first I ever started playing on it was Final Fantasy II(now Final Fantasy IV on GBA) and after a couple years when I was 8 I found a copy of Final Fantasy III at a yard sale-how lucky is that?Other than that I played all the Donkey Kong Country games and all Super Mario games for SNES including the rpg version which I apparently forgot the name.
I almost got a copy of Final Fantasy IV for SNES, the original one but my friend was an idiot and sold it to a game store

[Jaguar]

Absolutely. Jet Grind Radio, Phantasy Star Online, Space Channel 5...the list goes on and on.

[Mithsipan]

I think the BEST OLD SCHOOL RPG IS:


CHRONO TRIGGER

4 SNES

[sensei-]

Chrono Trigger is a very good game but saying is the best old school RPG is too much

[Mithsipan]

Chrono Trigger is a very good game but saying is the best old school RPG is too much

yea...but I haven't play much old school rpgs anyways....I still like it.

[sensei-]

I play a lot of old-school RPG's and is kind of difficult to think of the best one

[penguinminor]

Chrono Trigger is a very good game but saying is the best old school RPG is too much

Hmm. I would have to say that Chrono Trigger is the best old school RPG that I personally have played, but there are many that I haven't played, so saying that it's THE best is a bit of stretch.

Still ... amazing game.
