The Retro Gaming Thread
 

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.

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.

you will need to put your birthday before watching due to mature content lol.

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.

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.

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

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

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

but is there a reason why u could not get into the nes era?

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

I got'cho back, Barkworm. :)

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

wtf? now ur saying u can't get into the atari era.


what year were you born?

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

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

Ahhahaha.

But seriously, How old are you Donny?

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.

:lol: Hahahaha

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.

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.
