Which classics do you like?

[Arwen20]

Anything with the word tetris, mario, donkey kong, yoshi, and animal crossing gets my vote.

 

[blackdragonbaham]

srry to mention, but beside of zelda you've forgotten the metroid, bomberman and mega man series
like em all, excepting mortal combat, sonic, mario party and animal crossing.

I was born in the 90s, so I'm only now starting to get into some really old games (NES, SNES, and such). I'm probably going to get an NES in March, for example. But some of my favourites are the Castlevania games (1, 3, and 4. Of course 2 sucks).

I do like Mario (Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64 etc but the original arcade one is awesome) as well, but Castlevania always appealed to me more than Super Mario Bros. I love Paper Mario, and I really enjoy the 3D Worms games (I even bought #4 for my PC). I even like Sonic (one of my favourites is... Unleashed. I said it. Only the day levels though).

I've been playing the original Donkey Kong on my e-reader/GBA recently, and I have to say, it's very addictive, and very fun.

I also used to play a lot of Pokemon. I don't care so much for it now, but I really dig the new DS games that are still yet to come out in English properly.

ToeJam & Earl FTW! Easily one of the best games, except for you know original Mario's, Sonic's. Golden Axe was always an amazing one.

Streets of Rage, Mario vs Donkey Kong, and, and, and, Dunkhunt!

 

[razorback78]

i voted for mario bros and mario kart series. i enjoyed playing those games since my childhood days.

 

[lincruste]

None of the games in this list.
My own personal souvenir remains Frontier Elite 3: First Encounters.

Best game ever.

 

[MuppetInvasion]

1: No ZELDA!?
2: I used to cry in zelda when i saw redeads and gibdos

Omg! yeah, the original was a blast, i wasn't too keen on the follow up tho

 

[TankedThomas]

I've got to admit (even though many already beat me to it), not all of those are classics. Kind of sucks, but oh well. I still appreciate the old games. Heck, I got Megaman 3 the other day, and I love it (although I suck at it, as with every other Megaman game, because they are just that damn hard). I kind of wish that was on the list, too. But then again, we could all go on about the many different old games that were good and "should have been on the list."

Well, what about Michael Jackson's Moonwalker? Anyone fancy that?

I never played the follow up, I just spent days playing the original. There was a co-op version I think? I can't remember, either I took turns with my best friend then or we played co-op all the time.


@TCJJ - Moonwalker was hilarious! Just that thing with the hat

 

[The Catboy]

Snes games: Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy II and III (even though those were 4 and 6) Chrono Trigger, Act Raiser (1 & 2), Zelda A Link to the Past, Super Castlevania 4, and Super Metroid
Nes: Zelda one and two. Final Fantasy I, Metroid, and Super Mario Brothers.
Sega Genesis: Sonic, Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic the Hedgehog (1-3), Shadow Run, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and YIII
N64 (if this counts by now) Yoshi's Story, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Zelda Majora's Mask, Turok (1-3), Golden Eye, Jet Force Gemini
Gameboy: Super Mario Land 2, Kirby Dream Land 2, Wario Land, Pokemon Blue and Red, Final Fantasy Legends (I-III), Zelda Link's Awaking, and Metroid 2
Yeah I have played a lot of games in my life. This list isn't close to haw many I have played.

 

[TankedThomas]

Yeah, as much as Moonwalker sucked, I still like it (even though I don't own a Mega Drive/Genesis - I just play it on the Wii emulator). I think the whole fact that he did a crotch-grab for his special move (the hat throw) once he ran out of power (or fair dust, as I should call it) was hilarious, the fact that some random hookers tried to attack him, random dudes were all out to kill him, and he was rescuing little children. I don't know if Michael Jackson ever did everything people said he did (I think a lot was media attention; lies), but this game just portrays the wrong message.

The co-op was the best part of the game, when your mate opened a present without knowing what the present was, and it opened up the rocket skates, Great stuff!

I agree, it was a bit disturbing, but still the comical value was worth putting yourself through it.

@ 'A gay little cat...' most of those games were all awesome. But Yoshi's story was so strange. I completed it in one evening with my friend. When it first came out we rented it to see what it was like. The suddenly, the game was completed. It was incredibly short.

Turok was just really weird as you had to use the 'C' buttons to move around if I remember correctly, but Turok Rage Wars was a lot of fun, except when someone was the damn raptor! (hahaha). Donkey Kong 64 was fun, but I prefer the old ones on the SNES I think (Donkey Kong Country, Donkey a Diddy, Diddy & Dixie (Dexie?) and that weird one, with the girl and that massive baby, what was that?). And F Zero X! Oh I wish I still had an N64 now!

@Jackthelad - I just have to say once more, ToeJam & Earl was just amazing.


Kirby's Pinball Dreamland - that game is one of the most additive I ever played - I still break out my old gameboy for a game of it occassionally.

 

[TankedThomas]

I agree. I just kept loading my save state in one level JUST so I could play as Mecha Michael.

 

[razorback78]

c'mon please add the street fighter series.

 

[Mangofett]

Call of Duty is a classic, but Doom, Quake, etc. are not?

 

[Langin]

n64 and zelda JEZUS thats the best what can happen to you!

edit:why is this tread worthless? because where is ZELDA?!

 

[Cermage]

something like

i used to cry whenever the troll thing ate me.

also commander keen. i remember playing keen when i was 6-7. good times.

 

[Raika]

Super Mario 64...
I remember that whenever I fell off a ledge into an endless sky/darkness, it would send shivers down my spine, as if I myself was really falling off that ledge...

I was young at that time.
