You ever go back to replay any reallly old schoold games? i mean i just went and replayed Dungeon Keeper (the origonal) and its still a good game just the graphics look dated
so the question goes out what old games do you still play if any?

I play all of the old games. All 163,102 of them.

How do I do this?

Sometimes I go back and play Super Mario World, SNES, not GBA.

I could very well do it as a ROM, but I much prefer playing it in it's orginal format.

From time to time. I don't have a humongous libarary of games, so it's kind of why. Plus since I don't have the huge librarary, it gives me cause to track down old games that I never got to play when I was a kid. And old games are cheap too boot.

Faves include Turtles in Time and Maximum Carnage.

I also enjoy classics collections, even though I only have four: Taito, Mega Man(no X yet), Mario All-Stars, and the Zelda compiolation on Gamecube.

Older games also rock cause there's not a lot of waiting to play cause there are very few cut scenes, and that's nice.

i'd have to say my fav example of an old game thats still good it tetris on the origonal GB (yes i still have one of those bricks ) its a simple game but its just sooooo adictive

Tetris is ****.

The NES games I have are cobra triangle, zelda, ninja gaiden 2, mario bro.s 2 and 3, TMNT, double dragon 3, little nemo the dream master, and I'm keeping an eye out for river city ransom.

SNES games: killer instinct, legend of the mystical ninja, populus, super double dragon, zelda LttP, FF2, Sunset Riders...

Sega genisis: altered beast, sonic 1-3 and knuckles, ultimate qix, MK 1 and ultimate MK3, vector man, beavis and butt head...

all great and yes I have been going back through them.

all i have is megaman 1-8. and smb 3 on gba

Castlevania.

I still play through all of them on a regular basis; I just beat the original one the other day, and I've been plodding through Simon's Quest off and on for a little while.

I have games like Megaman 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 for my NES, and Megaman X and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for my SNES. I'm too lazy to list them all, but I have around 30 old school games.

I have all the good Sonic games on Mega and Gems collection (3 FTW!)

And I also like the Megaman X series.

And I havn't played it in along time, but Rocket Knight Adventure was a great game and deserves a port.

Don't you mean Tetris is the ****?

I normally go and play Link's awakening and Wario Land, mainly cause i know a few cheats for both that makes them more interesting.

IN all honesty, there's too many old favorites to count.

Some of my personal favorites nobody has mentioned yet, I think, are the first 4 Dragon Warrior games....especially 4, since it's never been re-released on any platform in the US even though the other 3 had their super famicom versions ported over to the Gameboy color. really bugs me, too, how we were jiped. The company that was translating the PSX version of DW4 droped the video game portion of their company mid-project, never completed it, but yet retained all the rights to the translation, keeping the game in legal limbo.

Super Mario RPG, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Paper Mario, Super Mario World, and Donkey Kong 64 are some of my favorites... oh and GEX 64, that game was crazy fun!

I use to play the NES Contra a lot. Now the only old-school game I still go back and play is the Game Boy Tetris. But I did just recently play Breath Of Fire 1 (GBA version).

I wish Simon's Quest was ported to the GBA. It's my favorite of the 8-bit and 16-bit games. Of course, Symphony Of The Night is my all-time favorite.

Book of Nintendo Revolutions, 11:38

"And the Anti-Gamer, from atop his mountain of n00ishness, would give his mighty and unholy battle cry: 'Tetris is ****' he will say. And unto this glorious land of gaming, will come an age of darkness, of gamer against gamer. And the bloody and demonic Console Wars will truly begins. An Age of Hell will come for a Thousand Damned Years."

dont you mean a war of tetris

Pretty sure he doesn't.

Monkey Island 1-4, Simon the Sorcerer, Day of the tentacle, etc. All g'old point and click games ^^

I'm also a huge fan of the original Startropics game. Now that was some good fun.

I have a fully functional mega drive (Genesis to some) with mega CD and 32x attached.

Nice i used to be able to play the first level of the origonal sonic on one of those blindfold!

I have my NES and SNES plugged into my TV upstairs, and use both of them regularly. Have more than 35 NES games and more than 20 SNES games, and regularly buy more.

Plus a crapload of old PC games. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis owns all. Scumm engine FTW, eh Skullgrin140?
