Thread: Old School Games

Final Fantasy 7.

Played it when I was in grade 6 and never beat it. Recently I've had an urge to play it but can't find it anywhere (not for a playstation, mind you ).

For the love of toaster strudel, does anyone play Metal Slug??!!

Metal Slug is meh-ish. I prefer both Contra and Gunstar Heroes, for a run-and-gun kind of game.

Contra is okay, I prefer better graphics and quality. However, I don't like the super realistic Xbox 360 type graphics. Metal Slug has the perfect blend of good graphics while still remainng old school.

Super Mario World is the best game ever made in my opinion. LOTS of different levels and LOTS of different enemies, with really good gameplay and controls!

This was the only game I had and played from 1996-2002. And I never got bored of it...

Mario Kart is pretty cool.

Anyone play F-Zero X?

- Metal Slug
- Golden Axe
- Street Fighter
- Contra
- Double Dragon
- Lords of Thunder

EDIT: forgot Joe and Mac, and Castelvania.

Super Mario 3

Megaman 3

Castlevania

One of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games(2 I think)

Was it the one that started off in April's burning apartment building? Where Rocksteady comes up through the floor in one of the drill-things? If so, that's one of my favorite ones, too.

[Edit: Here is a screenshot I found. WOW. Haha. This is the first time I've seen a shot of this, since playing the game back on the NES. Look at those graphics!! ]

Tanks on the Atari 2600.

Now that was old school!

I remember a game I used to have called something like "Venus Warrior Princess", also the old platformer Duke Nukems, and I remember having a game that was like the one the kid is playing at the beginning of "Big" (the movie with Tom Hanks) but I was too young to understand how to play it.

Haha you KNOW there's a lot of youngins onboard when F-Zero X and Duke Nukem 3D are considered "old school"

I know they're not really old school. Trust me, I have an NES.

Yeah, I gave my NES away in the interest of science. A friend of mine was doing some research on it a couple years back. To this day, I can beat Megaman 2 flawlessly.

I remember seeing that one at the arcades. And yes, I had that one for the NES as well. LOTS of fun, that game was.

Zombies ate my Neighbors, Super Mario World, and Zelda: A Link to the Past
I used to play Gauntlet and Golden Axe but I don't remember which systems those are on.

Those are the only games I play, I don't even own the newer systems. I have a ps2 but I only use it to watch movies.

Golden Axe was for the sega master system (or maybe Genesis? don't remember...) I remember the commercials for it on TV.
