And finally Ultima Online- not as old but my first MMORPG and I spend many pissed off hours getting killed because of dial-up lag.

 

Did you get the expansion pack for that? It let you fly a couple planes that didn't quite make it into the war, including the F7F Tigercat, F8F, a Japanese jet fighter.. etc etc

Speaking of which...

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe > Most flight sims

 

Wtf system was this for? the only PS games i can think of are PSO for game cube and the more recent one(s?)

Anyway my favorite that i can remember was mario world 2 I think, The original megaman. hmm and Ocarina of time if you want to count n64 as retro.

 

Hell yeah! 1946 Expansion Pack. That was too cool! I also played the hell out of Aces of Europe but that was a year later

I liked Luftwaffe but it was a bit complex for my 13 year old brain so I pretty much stuck to the Aces series

 

sega genesis

 

I can't remember the name, but when I was young I picked that up for like $10 used and it was one of my most played games on SNES


TMNT (NES)
Mario Kart (SNES)
Super Mario RPG (SNES)
The Donkey Kong Series (SNES)
TIE Fighter (PC)
Steel Panthers (PC)

 

Almost forgot about:

Rad Racer (NES)

 

star tropics

 

I can play MegaMan 1-6 over and over again, I'm not sure if its considered retro but MegaMan 9 is awesome too.

 

starfox

 

i cant believe i forgot Earthbound, its one of my favorite games

oh, and hes a pic i snapped of my snes rpgs

 

wwf royal rumble for sega, game was hilarious. i had tournaments once a month with all the kids from the neighborhood.

 

haha, seeing this reminds me of all the crazy storage solutions that used to be out there for game carts. I bought a shitload of these for my nintendo games when I was a kid:

 

oh rampage was awesome for NES.

 

How could I forget Tiger Heli:

 

super mario 3 (NES)
Excite Bike (NES)
super mario kart (SNES)
Wolfenstein (PC)
Twisted (3DO)
Sonic 2 (Sega)

 

oh man, I remember that game!!!

 

^ I loved Tiger Heli!

 

And I can't believe I forgot to list "Double Dragon" for the NES.

 

ah forgot about tiger heli and DD.

memories...

 

I'm getting old... I forgot Cobra Triangle too:

 

Raiden!!!! The granddaddy of all vertical-scrolling airplane shooters.... at least that I know of. I could never decide which plane I wanted to be..... but my brother would always take the blue one.

There was another (side-to-side) scrolling shooter game that came before it I think, but it was nowhere near as fun as Raiden (IMO)

 

^ Capcom's 194X series...? Cuz, those were great...

 

All the Donkey Kongs were bomb...except when that big blue baby monkey came

 

first time i played the original donkey kong country, i was at it all day. from 9am to midnight, and i loved it. one of the best games ive played on that system

 

^ DKC was indeed a good game...

 

it was so balanced too. alot of modern games seem to have difficult spots then a length of easy stuff... dkc got progressivly harder as you got further into the game. the "bee levels" in dkc2 were fun too

 

^ And the soundtrack was great. Rare made some good stuff for Nintendo...

 

If we're talking about games that wasted the most time in my childhood:

GoldenEye (N64)
Doom shareware (PC)
Legend of Zelda II (NES)
Dragonwarrior (NES)
Dune 2 (PC)
Duke Nukem 3d (PC)
Warcraft II (PC)

 

for sure. the rare/nintendo team was unstoppable. as was the old square/nintendo team.

 

I can remember being up until 4AM playing Doom and Duke Nukem 3D over dial-up with a buddy, having rocket launcher wars. Now it all seems so ... quaint.

 

For me, it'd be a bit later and involve games like Quake and Quake 2...wow, were those online games great.

And the railgun...greatest FPS weapon ever made.



Of course, this would be taken over by my love for Zerg and Terrans afterwards...and oh, Age of Empires.

 

I can't possibly name one game..

Atari 2600:
Pac-man
Pitfall
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Atlantis

C64:
Beach Head 1 & 2
Way of the Exploding Fist
Grand Prix Circuit
Test Drive
Caveman Ugh-Lympics
California Games
Dark Castle

anything after this, I wouldn't consider "retro".

 

Whats dial-up? Is that when you hook up a can to another can with yarn???

Rocket Launcher? You mean you can play Halo through dial-up?!?!







I remember the days when I used to play SubSpace. I think its called Continuum now, or vice versa. Yes, on dial-up..... I don't think anyone here has played it, have they?

Old school indeed

Defender had soooo many buttons...as a kid I couldn't handle all the smart bomb, thrust, hyperspace, fire buttons...it was nuts!
