Anyone here still like to play some old school games? I got a bunch of random ones today. Most of these im doing for my own video segments but I sometimes like to play an old mega man game, final fantasy, and super mario brothers. What retro games do you guys like to play?
No, Rubes. You can't play "Pokémon Snap" on PlayStation. You can play "Ape Escape,"

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]How retro are we talking here?

I still play some old Mega Drive games, Sonic especially, but these are all as ROMs.[/FONT]

When I hear the word "retro", I usually think of games from the late 70s to early-mid 80s (around the Atari Era). But if we are going as far as calling early 90s games (Final Fantasy, ect.) Then I play a LOT of retro games.

Final Fantasy, Bubble Bobble, Megaman, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Qbert..... just to name a small fraction of classics that I play to this day.

I don't mean to direct anyone away, but go to http://www.vgevo.com for some retro gaming goodness. The Midwest Gaming Classic just passed and is still a hot topic. =)

I'm a very modern gamer. Retro isn't my thing. I love really good graphics too, which doesn't help.

Well, I feel Retro when I play re-makes of FF on NDS but know they have been "polished" for the modern gamer Smile

I like playing some of the great SNES RPG from time to time.

Doing a playthrough of Seiken Densetsu 3 on my Wii (The Homebrew Channel FTW) currently. Smile
