Favorite classic video game

[anabolice30]

I'm only 18, so my games are super smash brothers and runescape

[E30 Wagen]

It's not that old but I'm kind of obsessed with Half-Life. Some stuff I've collected:



If anybody has some cool HL memorabilia, let me know...

SNES
Top Gear 2
Killer Instinct
Donkey Kong Country

N64
Rush 2
LoZ: OoT
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Goldeneye

I've been telling myself I should pick up an N64 and this game for the past few years...

Edit: Also, Pokemon for the Gameboy. I seriously miss playing that shit on roadtrips.

[Pac1373]

Doom/Doom 2, Quake, Spyro, going Way back, Star-wars the X-wing fighter one, Afterburner, and Tron in the Arcade as a kid...I am old. these games were awesome, later there was Gauntlet, so many cool old ass games.

[ELVA164]

I love Goldeneye, Mario Kart, and Ocarina of Time too, but I think my favorite might be Majora's Mask. Really dark and creepy, with tons of super interesting symbolism and good characterization. Easily the most overlooked and under-appreciated Zelda game. I doubt they'll make that much of a departure again in that series.

Paperboy



Rad Racer

Anyone play any strategy games? Age of empires 2 and civilization 3 way too much time spent playing those!

[Andy.B]

I'll do my top 3 from each platform:

PC:
Half Life (I played the Black Mesa remake last summer. It was awesome. Someday I'll go back and revisit Op Force and Blue Shift)
Need For Speed II Special Edition (The FZR2000 was the greatest car ever imagined)
Descent (Just bought this on Steam again. It's as difficult as I remembered)

Honorable Mentions:
Commander Keen
Xargon
Lemmings
Unreal Tournament
Monster Truck Madness 2 (This game had a huge mod/track/truck community, giving this game a long shelf life)

Nintendo:
Super Mario World (My friend, brother, and I 100%'d this game one summer. All 96 level exits and the special world levels to change the maps season from spring to fall*).
Super Mario Kart (Still the best of the mario kart games, by far)
Donkey Kong Country

Honorable Mentions:
F-Zero
Mario RPG

Sega:
Sonic 2
Earthworm Jim
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Honorable Mentions:
Road Rash
Battletoads/Double Dragon


*Up until 10 minutes ago, I didn't know we had 100%'d the game. I knew we were close, since we had made it to the special world and back. In the pre internet days, we relied on what was essentially folklore for knowledge, and I always thought there were 100 level exits, and we just couldn't find the last 4. When I looked it up just now to see how many there actually were, I was shocked. God knows how many hours were spent looking for those last 4 nonexistent level exits.

Racing Destruction Set on the C64!

I remember that game! Had a ton of 5.5" games copied from a cousin. A few of the better ones:

Archon
Project: Space Station
Lords of Conquest

There were tons more but I played these for hours. Will never forget ,8,1.

Road Rash was a classic.

[ak-]

[TurboJake]

Road rash has already been posted. God there's so many, but one of my top ten def goes to...



The game, and the intro are TWENTY years old. So simple, yet so amazing sounding.
Graphics? Not so much.
Great for hours of head to head gaming.

Also, it was already posted. But I had paperboy for the Commodore 64





The original pac man knockoff. (It should be noted, I own this AND pac man still)


4 person multiplayer (usually round robin between 6 guys) Carnage. Looks simple, but games get really heated.


Get bitches


One of the many "Well, WTF is going on here?!" Atari games.




My brother had, and still has this. Definite ROFL



Kirov Reporting! So many hours lost with friends...


And of course:
Zeldas, Ocarina of time being numero uno.
Contra
Bubble Bobble
Marble Madness
Mega Man 2
Marios
Kirbys adventure.
BATTLETOADS
Battle Clash w/ Super scope 6 (That I eventually traded for a suzuki 80cc off road. Lol)
Duck tales
Cobra Triangle

I'll stop now. I could go for hours....


EDIT:
Nope, forgot the original "Want to throw this fracking computer off the highest cliff possible." game, that took me 2 years to beat (I was 6 when I started, cut me some slack). Back during BBS's and no such thing as walkthroughs...
