Devilish Angel Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Like it says on the tin, this is a thread for retro games, post you favourite games from the PAST. My two favourite games are for the Master System. Penguin Land Basically the objective of this game was to safely get a egg through each level, to your spaceship at the bottom of the screen, you had to get past booby traps and enemies who will try and crack your egg. http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/1372/peng48vk.gif Alex Kidd In Miracle World The kid with ears like Spook and a fist more powerful then Mike Tyson's (in his prime of course), so powerful it could break rocks to earn you cash, or just to destroy the rocks in your way. The best bit about this game is the level bosses who you had to defeat by playing a game of rock, paper, and scissors. http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/267/janken19mw.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahsatan Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Alex Kidd rocked. As did Wonder Boy, both on the Master System. Moving onto a more *ahem* modern console, Mortal Kombat 2 on the Mega Drive...............FINISH HIM!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoPogo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Streets of Rage 2. Splatterhouse! Loved the idea of being a masked maniac!!!!! What does that say about me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7g Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Wonderboy 2 was a favourite of mine, but only yesterday I spent about a half hour playing Rick Dangerous, now thats "old school". I never really liked the Mortal Kombat games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Stevens Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Streets of Rage 2. Splatterhouse! Loved the idea of being a masked maniac!!!!! What does that say about me? Probally not alot really.... However splatterhouse did kick ass! For me my all time Retro games have got to be: Super Mario brothers 1 to Super Mario World Street fighter 2 Mortal Kombat 1 to 3 The Legend of Zelda 1, 2 and 3: a Link to the past Metroid Sonic 1 to Sonic and knuckles Streets of Rage 2 Doom (back on the PC) TMNT the arcade game (even the nes game was still good as well) Ghost busters on the Mega Drive and finally the best game of the retro scene MEGA MAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Gringo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Tetris - Preferably Tertris 3 on the SNES... Every Mario up until Mario 64, one of the most over-rated games of all time... 3D Platformers suck people, 2D was way better! Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country ruled also... Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Trilogy where awesome... Killer Instinct... Zool rocked... But for all time greatness? Legend of Zelda - A Link To The Past on the SNES.

Inno Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hated SWOS, almost as much as I loved every version of Sensi before that. I even have it on my mobile ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Really? I love the career mode, which is probably the only difference between the games. As well as the clubs from 65 counties :P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooneronastick Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) I used to love playing the Dizzy games on the 48k Spectrum with the rubber keyboard. My all time favourite though was Skool Daze and I spent weeks trying to complete that sucker.

Ahh, the memories.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverine Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Sonic was my favourite, I used to play those games for hours. The second one was the best - its two player mode was awesome. I also loved the freedom in that game as you could complete the missions taking a number of various routes (as well as the decision to either complete the level as quickly as possible or to go for the rings). And there was the fact that Sonic is the epitome of coolness. You just can't beat a blue hedgehog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilish Angel Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 I could not remember the Wonder Boy games, so I had a look around online and realised that I did own Wonder Boy III: The Dragons Trap. From what I can remember that was one hell of a hard game. I wished that I had not got rid of my Master System now, looks like I'm going to be hunting on Car Boot Sales for another one :D.

ViciousPrism Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Leisure Suit Larry=Best Game Ever... That was until that crappy 3D remake came out.

I'll look for it if you want. Thanks for the offer, but I'll turn you down. As it would probably be cheaper to buy one from a Car Boot then to pay for the postage. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousPrism Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Or just look for a *legal* way to do it on your PC. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
