I like to play old games, I just have a lot of amiga games and sometimes turn it on and play, now only for fun, a year ago I played one game until I finish it, but as time is my enemy now, i can't spend so much time on that, sometimes I play some new games too, but that rarely happens.

Your not the only one who is crazy

Well im happy to see im not the only one but you know that reminds me of a sotrey.
once upon time a long time ago i had a rubbich bulky pc with floppy games
I was playing this game simular to streets of rage but you cant save.I was fighting away killing the bad guys and at the end i reached the boss.i was kicking his head in,one mighty blow would have done it but..... the cage on the roof fell on me i died,gameover,no save,no respawn,no checkpoint,no nothing and i never played that game again dark days.

well some things which I learned playing old games and which did not have a save option - patience, that is what I got from playing them but yeah, it is much harder now when you know what is saving and are used to it..

how true you are.i wander what would be the best old game of all time myabe mario,shanobi meh i dont know

Hehe - I know what you mean. I recently downloaded emulators so that I could play all the old NES/SNES titles that I have at home. I have an actual SNES console here at school too ... but only about half the games in our collection.

I really enjoy the older games ... mainly because they're just fun. Mario Bros. (various titles) ... Klax (Genesis console) ... Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES) ... they were all great.

And Tetris, of course - can't forget that one.

I think the main reason I like the older console games so much is because the newer generation systems - beginning with N64 - make me nauseous. Can only play for a few minutes at a time, which really sucks all the fun out of Doom 64 *smirks*

yeah i love emulatots,but you cant forget mega bomberman that game is a great game to play 2/3/4 player.Also do you relly have an actual SNES console at school,lucky i wish i has one at school.

Yep. I really brought the SNES with me. It's the one that my parents bought for my sibs and I well over a decade ago, the first Christmas that this console was out. It's been through all four of my sibs and I playing it and actually still works far more often than not.

I'm surprised that the thing still works, seeing as it looks like utter junk. There's a corner of the actual console chipped off. The Reset lever doesn't work. The plastic's not that funky gray anymore - more of a weird yellowish/aged color. Oh, and the power input jack is broken off, so I have to plug in the AC power cord to the two prongs that are what's left of that jack.

That's why I'm still a little surprised every time I put in a game and can actually play it on that thing *grins*

Wow...now that you all are getting into the whole "ahh...old times..old times" kindof theme maybe i'll continue with some of my old gaming stories which actually started with those really old Nintendo consoles. I can't say whether its SNES or not only because it has never been my family's, only handed down from an old relative.

So since I'm supposed to be just about one of the youngest members around here (Not even 18 yet lol) I consider myself pretty proud to behold such a treasure. So far though, i only really enjoy playing one of the Mario versions which included basically every character including the snail guy which you can ride on and shoot tiny fire balls. (I was never really good at names back then heh...curse my memory)

I still consider it really fun to play even though there are much better mario versions (including Wario) but sometimes just jumping and squishing the bad guys are so much more fun than actually punching or kicking.

I still get out my NES and play Dragon Warrior 4, I love that game. Same with my SNES and play all the mario games. I love those games ... and always will. Theres just some gameplay in older games that even though graphics are no where even near to what they are today, but gameplay is just as fun or even better. I also love getting out all the megaman games and playing those. Gotta love gettin all those powers!
