Favorite old games

Did anyone else play Roller Coaster Tycoon for the PC?

 

[teller]

It had an Atari 2600 when I was a kid. The funny thing is, I had all these fond memories and so I was delighted to find that it is now emulated--well, I cranked up the emulator and...the games really were not that good.

Commodore 64, however, was awesome. Summer Games was the best! And Archon. And especially M.U.L.E.!

OMG yeah. I went through a HUGE RCT phase when I was around 6-8 yrs.

favorite kinda old game: Super Smash Bros. Melee

favorite kinda old not new game: Kingdom Hearts II

The whole Super Smash Bros. series is just AMAZING.

As well Mario's main platformers and Mario Kart.

Pokemon's RPGs (mainly the gameboy ones) too.

Then we venture further back to Pac-Man

And then even further back to pong, and lunar lander as previously mentioned; I got a remade Atari (2600 version/type i think?) for Christmas a few years back, and it's pretty fun!

There are still some old games from the Atari days I love that I don't have, mainly the ones based in space.

What about brick breaker? (PC game)

But I only like the version my ooold Macintosh had, I've played other versions and they, well, suck. I want my old beautiful one. ;_;

I mentioned Goldeneye as a great N64 game, but that certainly doesn't feel old to me. To me the great old game is Space Invaders for my TI console. (For the youngsters it was like a slightly upgraded version of Atari). I miss that game so much.

I loved Super Mario World back on the SNES. I had it in the Super Mario All Stars collection, and I played it to death. The Fallout games are also great.

What exactly is your definition of the word "old"?

 

[IamWEB]

Several years ago, OR in gaming's case (because video games have been around for several decades), sometimes stuff from the early 90's or back.

I'm going with several years ago.

Uh... yeah.... +1 Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Super Smash Bros. are all of my favorite games. They rock

Wow, I'm 13, and you guys are going BACK (like Pong, GameGear, et cetera).
The first game I got (I'm such a n00b) is Pokémon Ruby.
Damn....
I did like the original pong, but the sped-up arcade versions of Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. The furthest I got in Ms. Pac-Man is like level 157 or something. I was pretty good.
Knew lots of tips and tricks about it too.

Lol.

I have a '64 that was bought on the day they came out. I believe '64 is better than Wii. I got bored of Wii very quickly, but all my '64 games still fell like good plays. Yayz for the 2 Zelda games on '64. I have both.

You know, you can play 64 games on the wii. You have these points that you buy from nintendo, and you can purchase and download nintendo 64 games.

Yes, but different controller, and, just the feel of it is different.
