Retro Gaming Thread: Which Titles did you all grow up with?

[The 21st Hokage]

For me it's a lot but I wanna hear if any of you all had a favorite title when you all grew up as a kid or during your early teen years til now.

I for one used to play a lot of Punch Out.

[pnoypridz]

the old megaman games

[lopsew]

Well, I think everyone grew up with ALOT of titles...

But, the very FIRST game I remember that I played the SHIT out of was Keystone Capers...

[n8dogg]

For me, it's gotta be Mega Man X.

[Misk]

Super Mario World and Mario Kart

[Shounen Bat]

heh, i grew up on sonic the hedgehog on sega genesis. i had all the games, and i loved every one!

[The 21st Hokage]

Wow sounds like a lot of people grew up with almost near the same titles mines were

Megaman X like the above said
Double Dragon
Sonic ( My fav was Sonic and Knuckles )
River City Ransom.
Mario Kart ( Koopa Troopa = The Best Character )
Mario World ( Did anyone clear the special stage?)

[Kagalli]

Super Mario Bros (Nes, Snes)
Excitebike (NES)
Power Rangers: The Movie (SNES) :laugh
Yoshi World (Snes)

Streets of Rage 1 and 2
Toe Jam and Earl
Golden Axe 2

General Chaos
Zombies Ate My Neighbors

SNES:
Super Mario World

[The 21st Hokage]

Oh my god dude Streets Of Rage 2 is the shit man I loved fighting all the way up to Shiva and beating the game I did that so many times the only SOR Character I play with in the third is Shiva.

Yoshi's world was cool especially the fight against baby bowser at the end that was pure classic.

[Yami no Takeshi]

Double Dragon & Super Mario World. :D
Oh, how i miss u.........:crying

[Nerf Herder]

I played a lot of Simon's Quest, Super Mario Bros., Hogan's Alley, Battletoads and Blades of Steel back in the day...

[narutorulez]

sonic and megaman / X !!!!

[CrazyMoronX]

The best games when I was aroun 7-9 was a game not a lot of people have even heard about, Legacy of the Wizard. Me, my dad, and brother used to always play this together, it was nice.

Another classic would be Zelda II, we played that a lot as well.

During my teen years, even up to now, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI, and Chrono Trigger are all time favorites. I remember playing Secret of Mana 2 player with my brother all the time, so it holds some memories.

If you wanna go nuts, Yar's Revenge was the first classic family game for us.

[ChaochroX]

My two favs as a youngster would have to be MegaMan 2 and Teenanged Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. Good times.

[The 21st Hokage]

I used to play a lot of Battle Toads until I couldent pass that stage where you were riding through it.

Donkey Kong Country was also another fav.

[lopsew]

Well, after Keystone Capers, it was Mega Man by far, then it was ALL RPG's once I got the Super Nintendo. Final Fantasy III (VI), Breath of Fire 1 & 2, Chrono Trigger, and Mario RPG just to name a few. And I also remember playing a whole shitload of Super Metroid.

And whoever said Yoshi's Island earlier, WORD!!! Next to Mario 64, quite possibly the greatest Mario game EVER! Because it was the FIRST Mario game that ACTUALLY required some skill. I loved that game...

[The 21st Hokage]

Mario 64 was cool but it gave me headaches from the camera angles I did like Mario RPG Though. Also Mario 3 rocked ass

[-Bakkun-]

Super Mario World and Donkey Kong...

[krescentwolf]

First game I -ever- saw was Street Fighter 2 at my best friends house.... i remember being so jealous that he had it. ^_^;

Street Fighter 2, Donkey Kong.... the glory days of the Snes....

[Nerf Herder]

The best games when I was aroun 7-9 was a game not a lot of people have even heard about, Legacy of the Wizard. Me, my dad, and brother used to always play this together, it was nice.

Just taking a guess, but was that the game with all the little kids you could play as and you just kinda ran around throwing projectiles at enemies?

[mgrace]

[CrazyMoronX]

Just taking a guess, but was that the game with all the little kids you could play as and you just kinda ran around throwing projectiles at enemies?

Well it revolves around a family of warriors, you can play as the Son who is a knight with a sword, the Father, who is a fighter type with a axe, the Wife who is more a magician, the Daughter who is also more magician if I recall correctly, and the Dog, who is immune to monsters.

They all had special abilities too like the daughter jumps crazily high, the father is the most powerful, the son is balanced, and the wife can fly, while the dog is immune to regular monsters and terrain damage.

[Nerf Herder]

Alright well...I think I'm thinkin' I'm on the same page here then. It sounds really familiar, and I think you described the same thing I was thinking of. Yeah, that game was fun. I wasted many an hour playing it.

[Hatsune Miku]

The super mario series, Bomberman, Secret of Mana, Earthworm Jim.

Since I'm having trouble sleeping, I decided to dig out the old 8-Bit Nintendo this early morning for a trip back into my youth. (I'm a 25 year old female...my youth was a while ago!) Ahhh....Metroid, Kid Icarus, Excitebike. They were so simple and yet so darn addicting! Just curious what everyone's favorite old school games were...any system!

//Merged.

[DevilB0i]

Wow your from mn!!!! SAme here!!!! kewl another mn memeber awesome plus my old school favorite was mario and street fighter

[Chamcham Trigger]

My favorite oldschool game? Hmm I'll go with the nintendo and say shadow of the ninja, ninja gaiden, and the guardian's legend river city randsome and crash and the boys (those last two games are downtown nekketsu games in japan with kunio). Hmmm for some reason I can't remember my absolute favorite nintendo game at the moment......some favorite that is huh?

[Phancy Pants]

DOOM. The original DOOM. Now that was some sweet FPS action right there. Screw Farcry and Counterstrike. I'd sit there and stare in awe as pixelated green blood comes spewing out the head of a demon after a well aimed shot. It was just so damn good back then. Return to Castle Wolfenstein was pretty good too. Nothing beats shooting the crap out of Nazis/Demons.

[tjinnuf]

Guess it's not really an old game, but i still play tetris allot :) (first one)
Think i was about 6(?) when i first played it

[lekki]

Prince of Persia on the pc and super mario 3.

How is this a debate by the way?

[Nybarius]

Monster Party

Doom & Doom 2 -- greatest games ever, used to play on DWANGO WAY back in the day -- like, a decade ago almost, sheesh . . .

Warcraft 2, played on Kali

Quake, the original, and the original teamfortress (SNIPER TEAM!)

Megaman 1-8, MMX 1-4, Kid Icarus, Kung-Fu (haha, frameswapped madness!), excite-bike, Shadowrun (the Sega Genesis version), Sword of Vermillion, Afterburner, Altered Beast -- I could go on and on -- like this, EDIT: WORMS, Pizzaworm, Policequest series, Leisure Suit Larry (dude reminds me of JKingler), Space Quest, Quest for Glory, King's Quest I-V (but not after)

[Smooth Jazz]

My favourite old school game? Hmmm I think im gonna have to say Donkey Kong Country 2, for the SNES. Although the original Mario Kart is a close second.

[Gooba]

Doom, definitly. For my first 4 months here the head was my avatar.

Super Mario World, loved it.

Trying to get all the Goldeneye cheats with one of my friends for hours at a time. We never did it, or even beat Aztec SA. (I have earned them all since then)

This is off to the Games Section.

[Powerman]

Punch Out was my favorite old school game. That and Pong. Pong is still fun.

[ageofdarkness]

Startropics and Startropics 2 all the way! :)

[Mecha-Kisame]

Startropics and Startropics 2 all the way! :)
I love you, Star Tropics was fantastic.

There's also Sewer Shark, but that's only for novelty's sake. :P

[siliconrex]

tetris, zelda 3, megaman x, super mario 64 and SSB

[Meijin]

Sonic 4 on the Sega Genesis, bitches. And that one Hockey game for SNES. Was so stellar.

[megawhatever]

Anything related to Mario, Pokemon, and all those games in those 250 in 1 gba carts.

[Nost]

Anyone remeber playing StarWars Rebel Assault on PC?

[Yue Ryong]

[Kaki]

[kage_konoha]

I mostly grew up with the old Sonic series. I grew up with a lot of other series, but there's too many for me to name.

[AbaraiRenji]

psh i was a spoiled brat so i grew up with all the 8bit nintendo titles. Everything that came out that i wanted it had it, its a damn sham i dont have nothin to show for it lol.

TMNT, Mario Bros series, Mega Man series, Castlevania series, Ninja Gaiden series, Star Tropics, Little Nemo, Punchout, Double Dribble, Sonic series, Toe Jam & Earl...and the list goes on

[NinjaJedi007]

PC games really got me hooked into gaming. Some of the earliest games include Prince of Persia, Flashback, and Doom. Funny how 2 of the 3 were remade... why not Flashback!? :P
