The Retro Gaming Thread

[LogicDonny]

Welcome to the Retro Gaming Thread.

Although there is a nintendo, sony and Microsoft thread. I decided to form a special thread dedicated to classic gaming ranging from the Atari to like the playstation 1/n64/dreamcast.

You can discuss about anything here about a certain game you played or a system you loved.

Good idea? If so, please let me know and we should keep this thread alive for the members to talk about the legacy games of the past.

Let me start.

Basically my favorite video gaming era was the Nes era.. my first video game system was the Nintendo Entertainment System. I played it at my friends' house mulitple times and finally on a christmas in 1987 or 88 I got the nes and from there, i became aroused by the world of Nintendo.

From the games, the cartoons, the merchaindise, Nintendo was alive, baby! I practically have owned every nintendo system except for the game and watch, virtual boy and gameboy pocket.

I still have my nes.. my first one was damaged but my father brought home a brand new spanking nes sealed. Also my snes I am still on my first and I should turn it on and play some gaming one of these days.

Speaking of Nes, I plan to get the captain N the game master dvd coming out in a couple weeks. The show may be cheesy now but it was a big hit in the 90's.


Nobody wants to post here?

The NES was the ****. Got it back in 1990 after my sister and I had saved up for months. Man did that system get so many hours of gameplay. Now I have a top loader which is just so epic. So many good games for NES.

[LogicDonny]

Oh man, I really always wanted a top loader.. it fixed the probs the front loader had.

Speaking of retro, Angry Video Game Nerd has done another video. It was posted up on Feb 14 and I just saw it today..

He did a review on the Atari 5200.

My sister got an NES for Christmas in either 87' or 88', and it's been faithful ever since. Still have everything for it too, including the box. I love NES, but I was all about Sega Genesis. When I got a little older it was the first system I ever got, meaning my sister didn't get it.

But I have a lot of good NES memories, like renting Ghosts N' Goblins and Star Wars then getting pissed off because they were so hard.

[LogicDonny]

I used to own a sega genesis.

I got it for free from my dad from hsi friend.. He had a few games.

thunder force 3, sonic the hedgehog, columns, steel empire, toki and one other game I can't even remember. It was a space shooter where you can views like move left right up and down.. also i remember there was this boss with like a big square platform and ther was turrets all over the square thing.

if anyone eve knows what i am talking about, please let me know.

[Deathknight]

Ah, I wish I could play Genesis. I can't find my power supply or RF adapter for it.

[raphael_is_cool]

I miss games like Vigilante 8 on PS1. Man, I loved that game.

[Barkworm]

For some reason I could never get into the NES era. SNES is where it's at.

[愛]

He said some reason, not a specific reason. Get off his nuts!

I got'cho back, Barkworm. :)

[Ecto Jedi]

I can't get into the Atari era. What difference does it make?

[LogicDonny]

[Ecto Jedi]

Mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-huit. And you?

[Jed]

And somewhere in the distance you can hear Donny's head explode trying to work that out.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Ahhahaha.

But seriously, How old are you Donny?

[Peanut]

He has to be at least in his twenties, which makes me feel very very bad for him.

I'm currently working under the theory that he's a monkey of some sort who's been given a laptop.

[Mr. Snackpants]

:lol: Hahahaha

[Jo Dawn]

Ok, ok... Stop making fun and get back on topic.


As for me, we've had about every system ever since Atari. And we still have them and they're all in working order. Still pull out whichever we get the urge to play and they all work perfectly fine.

[LogicDonny]

Ok so your making fun of me? I'm 25. Look I have disabilites making it hard for me to type and speak properly so please don't make fun, ok?

It just he said he didn't like the atari and nes so I was wondering what he didn't like about them.

[Jo Dawn]

They won't do it again, Logic. Don't worry about it.

*casts stern look across the thread*

[LogicDonny]

Thank you and becuase of my disabilites, I don't act 25. More 19 or so. Lol.

[Ecto Jedi]

Sorry about that, LogicDonny. No hard feelings, I hope?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've never been able to get in the Atari age. From what I've seen and played, 90% to 95% of the stuff available on the Atari consoles looks and plays like utter garbage...Aside from a few classics, of course.

[LogicDonny]

Sorry about that, LogicDonny. No hard feelings, I hope?

No hard feelings at all. lot of people understand what I go through everyday..

Yes I would understand about the atari and stuff.

[Voltron]

You know, sometimes I get out of bed and think "Maybe the world will get better today." Then you read something like this. People, I'm torn. At once I mourn for this man who is really a boy stuck in a man's body with a man's mind that is convinced it's a boy. Conversely, I marvel that medical science has advanced to such a state that we can determine exactly what age a person acts. More importantly, I just have to say that I'm amazed at the courage this boy-man has to come here every day and face your slings and arrows, you vile wretchs! You should all be ashamed of yourself.

Somewhere, deep inside, another little piece of me has died. . .


I also like old NES games that piss me off. Mainly because I like to swear. The Noid is a good example. So is Castlevania, which I finally beat two years ago after a 17 hour marathon of cursing and hideous slurs towards reanimated demon corpses of Romania kings. I hate Dracula. The guy sucks.

You don't need to feel sad towards me or anything. I can still talk and write on here. I mean you do enjoy my company as much as I enjoy your company.


Anyways, castlevania I can almost get to the end but it's so dreadfully painful.

Also yo Noid! I have rented that game so many darn times and have never beaten it.. I will beat it.

Hey hey, I wasn't making fun of you, it was just a lighthearted joke... I couldn't get furthur than that he was born in 1970-something myself, I'm terrible at foreign languages.

[Peanut]

You have a disability that makes you act 19, when you're really 25? Come ON! Even if that were true, it still wouldn't account for a lot of things. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Born in 1980-something, actually. ;)

[Mecha Cow]

I guess that makes me a 25-year old stuck in a 19-year old's body. Lol.

[That Matt Guy]

Ok. So he can't type, whatever. We get it, move on and shut up.

I can't get into Atari either.
