What's your favorite old school game

Mine's earthbound and mother 3.

Front Mission.

Baldur's Gate saga.

Ogre Battle: March of the Black queen
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Trigger


I honestly can't decide between those.

Conkers Bad Fur Day

Super Metroid, all the way.

How old does a game have to be before it's considered "old school"?

If it's old enough, Majora's Mask.

If not, then Super Castlevania IV

fable 1 and baldurs gate the farthest im going back would be guild wars

10+ years?

I'd say those aren't old enough.

I'd say 2D systems and back. Snes and Genesis would be late-old school.

Starflight/Star Control (ancient PC)
All the infocom text adventure games. (ancient PC)
Temple of Apshai (atari 800)
Kings Quest (Ancient PC monochrome days)
Defender (arcade/Atari 2600)
Laser Blast (Atari 2600)
Raid on Bungling Bay (commodore 64 or Vic 20 can't remember)
Miner 2049er (Atari 800)
Venture (Coleco vision)
Anything on the Vectrex
Milons Secret Castle (Nes)
Blades of Steel (Nes)
Shadowgate (Nes)
Road Rash series (Genesis)
Gunstar Heroes (Genesis)
Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis)
Choplifter (Commodore 64/Atari 800 I think)

...Jesus, I could add a hundred more so I'll stop.

Well in that case...

Kid Chameleon was awesome. Could have sworn I read about a re-make for Nintendo DS a while ago. Can't remember...

I forgot about the Genesis. I'm changing my favorite to Sonic 3 and Knuckles

Orlando is insanely overpowered...

battle toads and contra.

I never cared for Final Fantasy Tactics although I wouldn't mind giving it a shot again....


My favorite RPG's ever are Final Fantasy 7 and Legend of Dragoon.It seems every RPG after FF7 just tried to be the next big thing and be another FF7 but never did.FF10 was good too.

When I look through your list all i think about is:



played it, played it, played, huh?, beat it, beat it, played it, no idea, BLADES OF STEEL! fuck yes!

OMG YES BLADES OF STEEL

Blades of Steel was a great game. I rented it from the video store like 15 times.

- Zombies Ate my Neighbors
- TLOZ: OOT
- Tecmo Bowl
- Super Mario 3
- Sonic 2
- Wolfenstien

Tecmo Super Bowl for the sega genesis! W I N !

Yes a true classic. I miss the still frames of celebration after scoring a glorious touch down.

HOw about the animation for a sack. there the QB lays and up from nowhere you pop up hovering over him menacingly lol.



The Bills where OP in that game. Dallas won the SUper Bowl, but Buffalo had the BEST team on that game. Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Don Bebe, and I'm forgetting the other receiver who was better than Bebe.

Andre Reed

Thank you Sym. AC for trivia.



I kept trying to say Andre Rison, even though I konw he played in Atlanta. Then I thought maybe is was Lofton, or something like that but I knew it diidn't sound right

Galaga.

Too damn many to name, and too damn lazy to list them all lol.

Pong.

Not sure.

Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, Super Mario RPG.

I played a lot but I can't remember many of 'em.

I still have nightmares with the demon kids

Fucking kids, I've hated them ever since.

You have a lot of great games on your list though.



Super Mario RPG

Secret of Mana (anyone play Secret of Evermore? very similar but kinda quirky and funny)

Punch Out!

Kirby Superstar (awesome co-op)

I wish I could find Zombies Ate my Neighbors on XBLA or something like that. That game ate up sooooo much time of my childhood.

get an emulator sym 95% of my list I wouldn't even have played if it wasn't for emulators. With torrents it's easy to get an emulator and like every game ever for whichever system is being emulated.

Oh and I forgot one from my list Super Punch-Out! (duh)
