Señor_Mota's Old-Skool Gaming Thread!!!!

I don't know about you guys, but I like to plug-in to the Old-School classics just as often as the new ones. What are your favorites, and if you're hardcore like me, what are you playing ATM?

For me -

CastleVania IV for the Super Nintendo



Shadow Dancer - The Legend of Shinobi for the Sega Genesis



Dune II for the PC



Sonic and Knuckles for the Sega Genesis



Donkey Kong Jr. for the Atari 7800



Just to name a few. Post your favorites, discuss them...that's what it's here for!

Not going to post sexy classic pictures because I have way too many pictures to post and/or I'm not playing any classics at the moment. I remember playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles and Sonic and Knuckles to death though. I got all the Chaos emeralds for each character and their uber form. Hyper Sonic was insanely fast! Loved it.

I recently fired up Mega Man X3 for kicks on ZSNES. I got bored though :lol:

 

I knew you'd be the first, NS...you appreciate the ROOTS! w00t! I've beaten the game fully as well...Hyper Knuckles is my favorite. Smash into the walls and BOOM!!!! All enemies dead!

I posted the pristine pics of yesteryear to remind some of the younger, less informed members of the quality that is old-school gaming.

 

Alone in the Dark



Duke Nukem 3d



Leisure Suit Larry



Police Quest



Space Quest



King's Quest



There's also, Doom 1 and 2... and Blood, dunno if that counts though

 

Hell yeah...Alone in the Dark creeped me the hell out when I was younger...I played that game until my eyes swelled shut!

Keep it coming, guys!

 

More random retrogaming:

I catch myself playing the 1942 vertical shooter games a lot as well. UN Squadron was also a great game and still is. Games these days rarely test the reflexes and amount of concentration required in games such as these vertical/horizontal scrolling shooters!

R-Type 3 was frickin hard! Thank goodness, they gave you unlimited continues. Another classic horizontal shooter is Metal Slug.

 

Oh, another old-school classic to play -



Star Control III for the PC

 

You're damn right it was...

 

Kirby's Dreamland for NES
Contra(all 3) for NES
Metal Slug 3 for NeoGeo(re-ripped for XBox last year :w00t: )

 

Nice taste...have you played Kirby All Stars on SNES?

 

sonic 2 and 3 were my favs, vector man was good, nhl '97, and primal rage were also good.

 

So was Contra - The Alien Wars :x

 

King of fighters


Final Fight


Ninja Gaiden


System shock 2

 

Doom 2
Mario bros.

 

My son inherited all my old classic games, we still play quite a bit of Streetfighter together. Also loved the Mario 1, 2, & 3 for the NES. How about Toejam and Earl, anyone remeber that classic?

 

Yup


and I forgot to mention another gem:

Marble Madness :lol:

 

Oh yeah, forgot about Marble Madness

Who remembers Quake 1?

 

Who remembers Dangerous Dan?

 

System Shock 2:


System Shock 1:


Commander Keen 4


I know, not too retro, but still, some awesome old games.

 

I often go over to my parents to fire up Descent .... LOL on thier 200 Mhz Intel MMx gateway pc that still has lifetime support ... heeee
