Retro games

[Shiner]

Hey peeps,

So what 'retro' games do you remember playing in the past?

I'm currently building a nice "high spec" gaming computer for $399 including monitor as a dedicated gaming computer for my past. Sadly it is more than I ever had, even as a teenager (Celeron 2.6ghz, a graphics card, 500g hd, 4 gig 1333mhz ram etc). It is the lowest specs I can actually buy new, and unfortunately due to driver issues I'm going to have to run off windows 7 with emulators for dos games and annoying fixes for the classics I've loved when I was young.


What I am looking forwards to adding to my gaming file and reliving;

1. Commander keen
2. Duke nukem (the original side scroller)
3. Prince of persia (once again, DOS original)
4. police quest series

as well as some 'modern games' like

- soldier of fortune
- carmageddon 1/2
- age of empires etc

So whats yours?

I still play "retro" games all the time... probably more than I play new games

Love far too many to make a proper list, but I'll name my most recent play-throughs;
Phantasy Star for the Mastersystem
Knuckles Chaotix for the Sega CD
Zelda II: Adventures of Link for the Nintendo Entertainment System
Demon's Crest for Super Nintendo

Lucky for me, all the old games I like are console games; so I can either play them on the actual consoles, or just use low-tech emulators, cause my laptop can't cope with much. I shudder to think how it'd react to most modern games

Super Mario Bro. 2&3
Contra
Metroid
Mega Man 3
Blaster Master

I still have my orginal NES and yes it is in working contition with over like 150 games all saftely stored away in my attic. Now I just use emulators because it is much easier than to just get all the stuff out and set up.

WOW...retro is so this century...I serious thought this discussion would have been about Atari, Space Invaders, Asteroid, Donkey Kong, Frogger and more...you know, real retro.

Ah, Atari:
Dungeon Master
Blood Money
Buggy Boy
Frogger
Space Harrier
Baal

They don't make 'em like that anymore.
