I don't know or care how 'old-school' these games would be, but Sunset Riders, Gunforce 2 and Sexy Parodius are some of my favorite arcade titles.

Define old school. Before which year?

Because my two top favorites- Final Fantasy 6 and Zelda II The Adventure of Link are both very old. I was in the 6th grade during Zelda II and in the 9th or 10th grade during FF6. But I did not play FF6 till I was in my 20s.

The oldest game I can think of is RocketKnight Adventures, for the Genesis. And there used to be this old PC game called Jill Of The Jungle. I'd play that for hours. It was Shareware LOL.
