The Talk-About-Retrogaming thread

Post by **Femto** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 7:55 pm

Have you been getting your retrogaming fix lately? Post what old-school games you've been playing/wanting to play in the last few days. Emulation, actual hardware, p0rts, re-releases, it's all good. Let's remember the good times and get a nice nostalgia trip in doing so.

I've been personally wanting to get an actual SNES console to play Yoshi's Island on teh 'bay. Only god knows where my old one is at this point.

sadly i never had a snes, was a sega genesis 1st gen fan.

Sonic 2 was my game. Remember playing for 8 hours, but never finished the game... stupid no save idea.

ahh there is more, but tetris is a game that never ges boring.

(we've been needin this topic for a long time now.)

I was playing playing FF3, but that was 2 months ago. I still havent finished it, b/c I was getting bored of it.
NESTCL emulator.

Best. Videogame cover. Ever.

If I get that SNES console, I'll probably get this to go along with Yoshi's Island and maybe Donkey Kong Country too. I'll worry about those time-consuming RPGs later.

SNES = Gaming bliss.

Damn that game is old. I remember i played it when I was like 8 (10 years ago). I really liked that game and I still do. But The game was difficult.

On the N64, I've got an urge to play Goemon's Great Adventure. Cheesy japanese atmosphere and calling a giant robot to fight for you? What could be better?
On the SNES, I really want to get and play Tales of Fantasia. Very cool RPG.
As for the NES, SMB 3 was the greatest!

I still got my old original SNES and many games and many Emus and Roms.

The SNES is cool for regular gaming. My little sister recently brought me some SNES Games that she got for free.

Nice topic

I just started playing good ol' classics on snes I each one I've played pretty quickly. Of course th rpg's take a bit.
I beat Contra III today on hard mode, took me about 3 hours cause I lost all my continues at the last stage and had to start all over again. (I Loathe that.)
Contra aside, I'd say knights of the round on snes and Streets of rage 2 on genesis are the coolest classic beat em up games I've played recently.

Im running through ff3 on my emu now ... fast forward is fun.

I've been playing FF VI on an emu and the only thing I have left to do is beat Kefka.
I've also been playing Faxanadu and River City Ransom on my NES emu

I can't understand how I've managed to play these games without fast forward back in the good old days...

Fast forward rocks!

trilogy was the best. I played it allmost everyday on pc. Damn I miss those days. Owning my brother was fun. I still regret I never had a nintendo.

I did play MK back in the day, but in retrospect, I see how badly it sucked.

lol you mean the graphics or gameplay?

Both, and music too. It's just a terrible fighting game, doesn't hold a candle to Super Turbo, not even the sequels.

Post by **Saiyah** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 1:32 pm

I agree with that one, but you can't deny that back in its time MK was the king of gore and catch phrases, ie "TOSTY!" or "Excellent."

The game itself reminded me of a movie called Big trouble in little china, if you've ever seen it you'd agree.

The appealing factor about MK was really the fatalities.

I liked Deception though.

Post by **TheDarkness** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 2:26 pm

With all the MK i played 2-player mode a lot just to see all the fatalities

Post by **Saiyah** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:06 pm

The entire time I played MK I was only able to pull off 2 finishers on MK1
Scorpion (block up, up)
Liu Kang (Block rotate D-pad)

Other then that I was the one getting finished by the comp or a friend. The old days kind of suck, damn unresponsive controllers.

oh, for genesis blood code is, abacabb. For those who care

Post by **BeSwift** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:21 pm

ok im just a noob and just signing up to the site. but yea mortal kombat is a pretty nice game. so nice that i dressed up as scorpion at otakon in 2004 and everyone loved it. well everyone who was there.

Post by **Saiyah** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:08 pm

If I were you I'd go as Sub zero, he looks much cooler.
Yellow is a color known to drive people insane.

then again ... go for it

Post by **BeSwift** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 5:07 pm

uhh yea i ll do the scorpion thing screw sub zero and if i do him people will be mad but heck what do i care. sub zero and scorpion i should do. burn and freeze for ever. fatality?

Post by **TheDarkness** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 7:19 pm

er could you rephrase that in understandable english??? I get the part about you doing Scorp but then i don't really get it.
