Old School all the way

[ChibiInuyasha]

I do enjoy the new games but im an old school gamer i enjoy my old titles like Bubsy, Bubble Bobble, the origional mario, kirby, and donkey kong they just hold a certain charm that most of the newer ones dont have the only series i still enjoy is the zelda series and even twilight princess wasnt as good as ocarina of time not saying that it wasnt good but you know what i mean. Those were just my nintendo favorites with sega theres many forgotten games like Alex Kidd, Phyco Fox, The origional Golden Axe, Sonic, and many other great games. I mainly made this to see if there are any other loyal old school gamers that still play and respect the classics but still play the new generation.

*raises hand* Indeed, it also feels nice to return to a game that gave you problems as a kid and completely own the game now as an adult ^_^
Theres still some old games that will forever turn me into a whimpering shell of my former self tho... Metal Slug on Hard... *shudder*

[ChibiInuyasha]

lol yea that still haunts my dreams NES games were notorius for being aggrivating but fun which is why most of us are now bitter adults just look what happened to James Rolf aka Angry Video Game Nerd funny as heck but so aggrivated. the newer games just seem too easy to beat.

I feel very old school.. and i'm 15....... I'd rather play my gamecube, N64, or Super nintendo rather than my xbox 360..

I love sonic and mario i pwn at those games ^-^

[Smurgen]

Man you youngins, making a guy feel old, GET OFF MAH LAWN!!
Seriously tho, i remember a time when you wanted a game, you didn't go to a game store or even a toy store, you went to a book store. You bought a book containing the code for the game, then you sat and typed out about three thousand lines or so praying to god you didn't make a typo in line 2672.

I thought there were no others like me!!! Old school games are the best. I cruise pawn shops for 64 and super nintendo games. A better way to spend my money other than buying a xbox 360. I played it at a friends once and the technology confused me so.

[ChibiInuyasha]

those password screens were murder an really uncalled for the only games that saved back then were zelda and sonic 3 i had kirby save but then sneezed and bumped the system everything got erased lol passwords are ok as long as there not as long as a persons freakin biography lol

tch around here i can only get old school games online eb games and gamestop dont carry old titles anymore not even playstation or N64

Old school game's are the best I use to get so frustrated playing the original megaman games. All the megaman games have had a steep learning curve but the original were the worst. I finally beat all of them though and I was so happy and felt a real sense of accomplishment.

Ok i think you misunderstood me. You had to type in the whole programming of the game itself into a BASIC operating system (Such as a Vic 20 or the more popular Commodore 64). It wasnt a password, it was retyping the whole game into your computer. Oh and by the way, it never did save till you went out and bought a disk drive that cost about as much as a small car. So every time you wanted to play, you'd have to type in the whole book into the computer again.

LOAD "*",8,1 FTW!

MegaMan truely a game among games on the brightside the old games have been remade for newer systems as collections like megaman, megaman x and old sega games. they turned mega man into a neo pet sad but still i like the games. another thing classics offered were bad puns ya just gotta love them take mega man he was origionaly Rock man His girl friend Roll (Rock and Roll)
Proto man or Blues if he had a girl friend they would call her Rythem
(Rythem and Blues) i miss those days and the controlls were so simple back then to

Really? I thought the C64 allowed you to, ya know, record to cassette?

It's what I did with my coded cheats.

Yea it did, but as i said they were super expensive during its heyday.

Also Roll is Rock's SISTER, not girlfriend......

[Sanosuke23]

Oh man, I remember getting a Commodore 64 and a stack of floppies from my cousin.

I sucked miserably, but I believe that was the start of my path to gaming in general.

Know what i missed in oldschool gaming? Controllers worked on like every system. They all had that same plug that Computers, Atari, I think Master System, and Genesis all used. Sonic games were awesome using the Atari joystick, and you only needed one button for those games anyway!

[Storm Strife]

You raise a valid point.

Huh...I should try using the C64 next time I'm up my grandfather's...

Congratulations, you have singlehandedly brought the average "old school" console generation in this thread from the Nintendo 64 to about the NES, give or take a gen.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go wonder when the 64 became old school.

[ChibiInuyasha]

ya know come to think of it theres a way to make xbox 360 controlers work with your pc usb ports.

i am just happy that the old school gamers are still around and loyal

[Smurgen]

I'm so old school, they tore the school down

[Wilson]

The first system I ever had was an Atari(can't remember the number), but something nobody has mentioned are the old shareware DOS games....Personally though I believe gaming achieved perfection in 95 when Chrono Trigger was released. I LOVE Snes RPG's!

So old school, they had to build the school around you.
