Days of Retro

Post your favorite old video games and talk about them.

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle ftw

Tru dat, homeslice! I missed the old Pokemon games. Gold/Silver/Crystal was the best, followed by Diamon/Pearl/Platinum

I still have my old red and crystal. I used to have a level 100 Feraligator, but I got bored and restarted XP

After 7 years, the save ability died and I lost my level 83 Typhlosion and my level 60+ Togetic, Lanturn, Espeon, Golem, and Jumpluff.

That stinks. Oh, I also had silver I think, but I gave that to my brother. I'm not too big a fan of the new games, they're ok, but the amount of new legendaries... just no.

Blades of Steel for the NES. One birthday I got an old NES from Ebay; some time later a family at our church gave us a bunch of games which included an awesome hockey game, Blades of Steel. Too bad that NES ended up in smoke, literally!

How come the old-ass games are always the more difficult? I mean, I can kill Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, et cera without as much a loosing a heart. But when I play the original LoZ or Adventure of Link, I will shout obscenities like no man has heard for how many times I die. But I think that the challenges are what makes them so damn great.

I also think the old games are more addicting. My Wii is maxed out of Virtual Console games, and each one has never gotten old to me. Kirby's Adventure, Super Mario Bro's 1 through 3, Super Mario World, Pokémon Snap, F-Zero X, any and all of them are great. I dunno, maybe it's the fact I see pixels and it gives me an inner enlightenment.

But, the topic is to talk about your favorite retro video game. And in all honesty, I've got to say Mario. Yes, I'm a Zelda junkie, but Mario is what led me into the world of games. Wasting away hours out of the day playing Jumpman and his sequels, it a nostalgic feeling that can only expressed by those willing to.

My favorite old Zelda games were Oracle of Time and Orcale of Seasons. I'd like to see that remade.

Hehe, I played Seasons, my brother played Ages. We never got ahead of each other when we played, beat a dungeon, he beat a dungeon, I got an item, as did he. Those two were so great, but the sprites made me think of Link's Awakening, and I think that game was the best handheld Zelda game ever.

My brother has the DX version. Anyway, did anyone else play Super Mario Land?
