N64 used to have some of my favorite games. They included stuff like, Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, and F-Zero X.

Virtual Boy was smokin'-awesome. I used to/still play mario tennis The turtle guy rocked, even though he was slow; he could make dive shots.

Oh yeah, rockin' on my Amiga was Marble Madness, The Bard's Tale, Aunt Arctic Adventure, and Arkenoid. I miss those games those were the days...

I really miss the N64 Battle Tanx game. I'm getting it for Virtual Console for Wii as soon as I obtain a Wii.

My favorite weapon is the Nuke. Second favorite weapon was the guided missile. Drop it and drive like heck away from it and hide behind a building. My favorite tank was the one that could roll. I think it was called the Helix or something.

That tank was called the "Flip-E". The game was genius i bought the one for PS2 but it only supports deathmatch multiplayer, not coop like the original.

yeah. was about to say that.

alright, who here remembers Apogee? (before it was 3dRealms)
now that is some classic gaming.

one genre that didn't get better over time.
Adventure games. We just don't get games like Monkey Island and Space Quest anymore.

Wow.. this is when I actually played games! (ugh, I feel old).

You want old skool? How about Magic Candle, Bards Tale and Ultima. (ehm.. way before it was online) I played these either at a friend's house or at K-mart.. back when they sold computers.

I had a amiga. It had a cool basic programming language you could buy for it called AMOS. I remember opening up a sega genesis pad and soldering a couple of jumpers to be able to read all the buttons on the amiga.

I guess as a kid/teen our family went the nintendo route. Here are my favs: SMBs, Zelda, Dragon Warrior, Crystalis, Blaster Master, Megaman 1-4, Bomberman, and my Mom got addicted to Lolo worse than watching soaps. Also, Xenogears on PS1 rocked.

I also loved squaresoft's and enix's work on the SNES. FinalFantasy, robotrek, secret of mana, secret of evermore, chrono trigger as well as Link to the past, oh and Earthbound! Our family couldn't afford to buy the games, so we would rent them for three days from the video rental place and (I kid you not) we would play them through straight without stopping. We had very sore eyes and thumbs at the end.. but what a blast.

Also I have a love/hate relationship with the Street Fighter series mostly because of my little brother.

IP, those were fun games.
Raptor had to be one of my favorite top-down shooters.

well, I don't recognize the N64 as classic gaming.

... I was never able to get one as a kid...

N64, Saturn and PSX could only be old school if you're talking old school 3D. Also many people have different terms for what is Retro and Old School. Old School is defined by some people on here as the systems made before NES (aka 1st and 2nd gen systems), while for me I always thought old school was anything before 3D graphics or 5th gen systems (32\64 bit wars), Wikipedia defines it the same way but like I said, everyone has their own definition.

My definition: Old School 3D = 5th gen consoles, Old School gaming < 5th gen consoles, Retro Gaming < 3rd gen consoles.

BTW, Apogee rocked!!! Duke Nukem 1 & 2, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, Raptor, ROTT, Pharaoh's Tomb.

Then of course Pre-DOOM iD software was awesome, I loved both the Commander Keen series and Wolf 3D.

Other games that were sweet but weren't iD nor Apogee was SimCity 2000, Caesar II, BattleDrome, Oregon Trail (though nowadays I can only bear to play the 2nd one).

Psh, who needed Windows?

The premise of the definition is determined by their own age. People who say n64 is old school are probably between 14-16 years old.

N64 brought the greatest level of innovation to the gaming market for a long long time. Zelda 64, that game, that game alone, Mario 64, those games were 3D versions of 2D games, the developers had to somehow make the 2d games into 3D, that brought a new level of interactivity and innovation, if you look at the mechanics behind these games, it's breathtaking, there is so much to learn from them.

Jet Force Gemini, love the sound track to that game

What's that make my definition? Xbox is old School? I'm 12.

NES is by my definition old school.

I still say, that playing PONG in "Black and White" graphics, is the ultimate old school.

Has anyone here ever seen a video game in Black and White? lol

Atari, later came out with PONG in color on their 2600 4 bit machine.
Now that seemed weird. Color anyone?

I wouldn't agree that's true, unless the person had no knowledge of the systems that came before; like someone who thought N64 was the first console ever made could compare it to newer systems and say it's old school (complete old school, not just old school 3D), but that would have to be an ideal circumstance of ignorance.

I believe the definition can be also defined by going to the actual word "old school" meaning old school of thought. The reason I say N64 is "old school 3D" is because back in the PSX and N64 days 3D games were made different than games like GC, Xbox and PS2, not only in gameplay but philosophy.

The same goes for games of the 16 bit days and before. Even 2D games back then were made different than the 2D games of today that you'll mostly see on GBA.

Not to mention it had a 64-bit processor... even though many N64's were hooked up to a 32-bit bus, essentially disabling the 64-bit capabilities. The only problem with the 64-bit CPU was that to use it effectively they needed to double the amount of RAM available, which they never did.

IP: If you're not happy with me calling the N64 "old-school" how about I call it an old-school 3D console? I'm happy with that. :P

NES
- final fantasy
- skate or die
- contra
- cobra's triagle

SNES
-contra
N64(which isn't really old school.)
- 007(can't remember exact title, but it was fun for multiplayer too)

Sega Genesis
- sonic
- sonic
- sonic(simplest and best game of it's time me thinks)
- road rash(this game rocked!)

Actually, there was an expansion card. I got it and I really thought it made the graphics better, althought I don't think it really did much for the older N64 games...hee hee, but I *THOUGHT* it did! The only game I had that I think actually used it was Perfect Dark, geez...that was a fun game too!

Man, i never got the expansion pack for the N64 so the one time i rented perfect dark i could only play multiplayer slow times...

and i still stand by the whole "true old-school" being < 8-bit. :P


PS: Mario RPG was a smokin'-awesome game for SNES

PSS: Final Fantasy: Legends II was awesome for gameboy as was sword of hope 2 (i beat that one twice)

PSSSSSSSS: Phantasy Star 4 has to be the best game ever for Genesis

I agree, N64 isn't old school, NES and prior with a little Sega Genesis but that's really not either.

To be honest i wasn't really THAT impressed with N64 at the time. The racing games had square tires and it just didn't seem to be THAT great. but i didn't really have that many games for it. I will be honest though: shadows of the empire was smokin' awesome. the battle of hoth was never fought like THAT before

Ah yes I forgot about that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading that only a few games used the extra memory and only a handfull of those required it.

But how about square players? Ever seen that before?

Look below at a screenshot of atari's 2600 ADVENTURE game.

Yes, that square block is YOU the player outside the castle gate.
Now, move yer block over to that yellow key over there and pick it up.

Woo, Ha, HA! It felt so great being a square. lol

I only had 5 games for Sega CD..Sonic CD,Afterburner 3,Sewer Shark,WWF Rage in the Cage,and a Bootleg copy of Panic. I play Sega CD on my PC using an Emulator,because my Sega CD broke. Sega CD was Cool,Unlike Sega 32X,which was major Crap.

Anyway, Sega Genesis ROCKS.

yes, Perfect Dark was made by the same game company and was supposed to be the next 007 but they lost the license or funding or something, started a new company, changed the characters/story but kept the new engine. It was actually more fun than Golden Eye, but 007 was the pioneer there.

While playing emulators are cool, things are more controlled on your computer and the graphics are always clearer on a computer. IMO, playing on an emulator is nothing getting your hands around a controller and playing the real thing, haha.

One of the big guys that worked on 007 and PD (at rare) started the company "Free Radical Design" and made the Timesplitter games. If you've played 007 you may remember a random character named "Dr. Doak" which at the time made no sense to me cause it wasn't a bond character. Well it turns out that "Dr. Doak" is the name of the guy that worked on those games and started FRD

Very easy to see the ages of the users who are saying 'old skool'. You truely cannot get more old school than black and white pong. for the few of us who had it we remember the beep. We didn't actaully have the pong version, we hand the downgraded sears version.

Next came the 2600 with 50 pong games. tank vs. tank? and one other shooting game. Most of ours were the sears knock offs.

If you ain played the pong console you have been to old school. I wonder what kind of processer was in that machine or memory. My guess is probably around .25 mhz with 1/8K or less of memory (had to be some memory to retain scores) theoretically could be done with 1/32 K.

The N 64 was a major step up in life!

ahhh old school. Back in the day when impossible difficulty was standard and completing the game was considered a rare feat.

Dizzy.


Yes I said that sacred name. Dizzy the egg.

Who here actually COMPLETED one of his games?

I beat one of them: Kwik Snax. Think a pacman clone where instead of bars blocking your path it was blocks and you could push the blocks around off one edge of the screen and back onto the other side.

My very very first computer game... I mean VERY first.

Fast food. A dizzy game. Again a pacman clone where the pellets ran away from you.

Ok, when I was about 5 I went to my dad's office for a bit. Sitting down at a computer with Windows 95 installed, the first computer game I played was Minesweeper. At the time it was mystically confusing and very exciting. (I didn't get the numbers, I was just clicking tiles with much trepidation. Ohnoes! a 3!)

That being said, whats the biggest minesweeper grid any of you have beaten?

I think every programmer should be required to create a pong clone before moving on in programming. . .

Just my opinion. . .

Yar's revenge, now there's a mighty fine game. . .

Missle Command on the 2600, what a scary game, the world is getting nuked and your all that stands between you and total inilation, and everyone looses, you cant win, you win by being destroyed less!

All those arcade devices had one huge fatal flaw. Where are you going to set your drink?
The control panel is sloped for your wrist so there is no way you can set a drink down while playing.
Enter the first video game I ever played. Space Invaders T.T. with two tees for a double dose of table top action. They were popular in bars and the best part was I could stand on the chair to see and set down my sippy cup of juice while I played.

Rawk!

I have one Sega Genesis emulator on my laptop with 1 game...Shadowrun. It works with my USB controller too! GenS32. I also have RockNES9x and ZSNES! Emulators have been apart of my life since they first started croppin' up on the internet. A friend of mine built his own MAME cabinet. It's got over 3,000 games on it and all the real controls, 8 buttons, joysticks, turny wheels, mousey balls, and enough for you to play 4 player games with it! It's awesome!

I dont think i played the mean bean machine, if i did it was only once or twice, but I remember the old sonic days...I think sonic 2 was the first game i got when i got my game gear. It was pretty fun, but i didnt understand how to beat the first boss for a long time, so i resorted to cheats...lol

The original Pong arcade and home systems had no processor whatsoever. The logic of the game was hard-coded into the integrated circuits on the board. There was no programming involved whatsoever, no RAM, just solid state logic. It had a memory of sorts while powered up--not block memory (RAM or ROM), just various boolean states held here and there in the circuitry. Ever wonder why there are no Pong emulators, only recreations? An "emulator" would have to be the exact circuit design running in a circuit simulator. There is no Pong ROM.

I liked the arcade-style games best because I was too poor to have a console at home. My favorites when I was in HS were Defender, Galaga, Summer Games, and Donkey Kong. Later, I really liked Dragon's Lair because it used a laser-disc to show a cartoon.

play a sega master system?!?! i owned one awesome times....

anyway, just thought i'd rant about how great cartridge games were, well aside from one of the copies of A Link to the Past which had a dead battery so it wouldn't save for longer than 10 minutes....
Anyway, i have 4 memory cards for me ps2 and of course the one card that was holding the really long games like FF12, Ratchet & Clank 2 and Jak II decided it was corrupted and i lost all my saves on it....grrrrr.... i REALLY liked R&C2 too! it's one of those games you can sit down and play when you're REALLY bored and actually have fun....anyways.... </rant>

I'm a huge SNK fan, and I love all the games released by them since as early as the NES years back when Ikari and Athena came out. I also loved Psycho Soldier.

My favorite games of all time is the Dragon Quest Series and Breath of Fire 2 & 3. I also loved Terranigma (I wish it would come out on the DS!).

Gameboy Player for Gamecube? Is that an accessory you attach, then it plays the Gameboy cartidges on a Gamecube console? That'd r0x0r (if they had a SNES Player like that, I'd have to go and snag a Gamecube for <$90, eh?).

What do people tend to think about the current-tech consoles (such as PS2) that have had released compilations of old skool games, like the Atari, Sega, Taito, Capcom collections? You get at least 20 games for around $20 (in the case of Atari collection, 87 games). This probably isn't a great option for people who already own(ed) the actual console (one reason why I'm not too into the Wii Virtual Console idea; why pay a second time for games I already own?). However, for gamers who either weren't around "back in the day", or just weren't entirely up-to-date with which games are great (thinking, e.g., Zelda would never amount to anything), the compilations are a pretty nice way to catch up.

I own the Atari, Namco (volume 1 and 3), Taito, and Sega Genesis collections, and I've been eyeing Capcom and Midway. Catches everything from Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man to Bubble Bobble, Centipede, Lunar Lander, Warlords, Dig-Dug, crazy stuff like Phantasy Star II-IV.

Since we're going into the 32/64bit era, let's up the ante for Super Angel Steve's list with:

-Crash Bandicoot (I only own 2, but the series is pretty uniform)

-Ape Escape ("If you don't have one, get one!") Probably the most original take on the 3D platform formula, incorporating Metal Gear Solid-like elements of stealth to run around capturing a bunch of paranoid superintelligent monkeys, all with the still-unmatched utility of the PlayStation's Dual Shock controller.

-Tomba (I own the second one) Another neat take on the (2D) platform formula, this one ramming in RPG elements. I recently saw the first game in the used bin at a store, and I occasionally kick myself for not snagging it. Other than catching monkeys, is anything more fun than beating up on Evil Pigs as a half-clothed jungle man with pink hair?

-My personal RPG obsession era, including Star Ocean 2, Legend of Dragoon, and the ever controversial Xenogears (beyond the Final Fantasies, of course).

-Some of the early classics, Twisted Metal and Jet Moto, to round out the list.

They actually made one for the SNES a while back called Super Gameboy, I believe. You just stick gameboy games in the cartrige and play them in the SNES. And the old school gameboy games (like Pokemon Red & Blue) would be in color, too.
