ahh metroid and street fighter brings back memories. Its amazing how advanced the games have come in graphics compared to the way they used to be.

urban champion - the granddaddy of fighting games ;D

I am not familiar with that one

[hiead]

it's a game for the NES. 2 guys smacking each other and the objective is to get your opponent to fall in the open manhole

[Jason Moore]

HAHAHA! I remember that game it was awesome!

[hiead]

playing NES games really takes me to nostalgia land... kinda makes me remember my childhood :D

[Firehand10k]

Wow I think back to my childhood I remember playing "Snake" on the Commodor 64 then "Space invaders" on my Atari 2600. Now thats Old school for ya.

[Jason Moore]

Thats nuthin, I remember playing frogger on a TRS-80. The games were loaded by a cassette tape. You would press play and the game would load. We used to go out for the day and come back and the game would finally be loaded...Games on the TRS80 made the commodore look like a neo geo!

[kuroikaze]

Jason you have good taste.
but donkey kong country and super mario world are like 2 of my all time favorites.

[hiead]

man the oldest console that i was able to play with was just the NES. guess im not that old yet :-D

[ranger97]

i remember Duck Hunt for Nintendo. Did anyone else try and shoot the dog when you missed a duck and he laughed at you?

[Firehand10k]

I would geuss everyone did >:) but he just kept laughing ~X(.

[ranger97]

yeah he did, annoying little dog

[69NINJA]

i still hate that little son of a ...... X(



I gotta say my all time favorite is still street fighter 2, i got to play it a few months ago and i still got it down.



Any challengers? lol

[hiead]

for the duck hunt, i think there was a release for the wii virtual console of a new version of duck hunt that lets you shoot the darn dog

[ranger97]

yep you can shoot him now with machine guns. After all these years of him laughing payback was mine

[Travis Morris]

Tekken

[bobO]

Guys I got you all beat , I remember when pong came out.Before that the nearest thing to a video game was finding an old TV, and seeing who could break the screen with a brick.Now that was interactive.

LMAO=))

[69NINJA]

HAAAA!!!!!! that still sounds like a fun game!!!!!!!!!

[Dotanuki]

I remember Pong, to actually be able to play a game on your TV set. If you would have told me then, what video games would look like now, I would have never of believed it. I wonder what things [games] will look like 30 years from now.:-?

[ranger97]

it will probably be virtual reality games like in those futuristic movies

[bobO]

Does anyone remember ,joust it was an arcade game in the mid 70's,can't tell you how many quarters I put in that damn thing.

[ranger97]

god its been years since i played that game

[guillx]

My favorite old school games would be castlevania and double dragon:evilbat:but I couldn't say this gives me nostalgia cuz im only 15 years old, by the way anybody my age here?

[Jason Moore]

Me and Bobo are 16 and Mako and Dotanuki are 17. :^o

Seriously, If you like double dragon, you must have been a fan of Golden axe. Man that brings back memories! :duel:

[guillx]

Lol

[mancosbob]

I let the kids have grandpa's Atari set-up. It still worked, but after they got bored with it, it went to another home. Tank Battle was fun...but missle defense was the favorite.

[illmade2]

I had to laugh (old school) I was thinking Tempest, Frogger, Asteroid, Centipede, Missile Command and Space Invader. Boy do I feel Old!!!

[FrozenIpaq]

Doom...Quake and Duke Nukem (I was about 6 when I started to play these games). I was born a PC gamer

[swordboy]

mega-man fan =) he he it rhymes

[Jason Moore]

Boy o boy...mega man. I wish they would do a re-make on that as an FPS...using the COD4 Engine!!!

[swordboy]

ooooo that would be cool ..... or too much like metroid prime on the wii ..... I would love to see a third person 3-d platformer


any "ratchet & clank" fans out there

[FrozenIpaq]

Boy o boy...mega man. I wish they would do a re-make on that as an FPS...using the COD4 Engine!!!

That would be very intersting Jason :o I haven't heard of any ideas like that being tossed around in regards to Megaman and I believe it would work very well. Although the 1st person aspect of it might be a difficult obstacle. Megaman is a platforming game after all and FPS and platforming never really has gone together too well. Take something like Super Mario 64 and replace Mario with Megman, give him his weapons and that would be interesting (although 3rd person).

[swordboy]

use the game engine from ratchet and clank to redo a megaman platformer
