Greatest Retro Games Ever
What are everybody's favorite retro games? Ya know, the cartridge games that we all dust off every once in a while on a Tuesday night and play til we get the nostalgia effect,the good old days when games were games and computers were computer, not one-in-the-same.
My Favorites-
NES- Guardian Legend
Master System- Sonic the Hedgehog
Genesis- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
SNES- Super Mario World

Re: Greatest Retro Games Ever
Dude, retro is 8 to 16 bit, with the exception of some 64 and 32 bits

Fallout was DOS, and still results in /thread, though I suppose Fallout 2 is just disqualified.Great_Mage_Atari wrote:Dude, retro is 8 to 16 bit, with the exception of some 64 and 32 bits
I'm not sure hardware requirements are the best way to define retro, but it's your thread.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?
Re: Greatest Retro Games Ever
@GreatMageAtari: If line is 8 and 16 bit, then I'd say you better change title to avoid confusion and/or flame.
NES: Duck Hunt... Just kidding.
Super Contra. (or Super C, or under what name you know it... I don't care.)
IMO, one of best run'n'guns ever, and difficulty was (In My Opinion, again) perfectly balanced.
But if we are talking "newer" games, then first Discworld point'n'click.
@averyimaginativename: 4 years are AGE in video games industry. Compare graphics from upcoming Battlefield 3 to graphics from Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Difference is VERY visible.
EDIT: Or to tell the truth, maybe was not so visible back then. Oh, well.

But Duke Nukem 3D was a 32-bit protected mode DOS game!Dunno wrote:It's time to vote for Duke or chew bubble gum
Actually, I’m only sure about the protected mode part, but that seems to be the distinguishing trait between “16-bit” and “32-bit” software in the Intel 80386 and later platforms with the same basic architecture.

Re: Greatest Retro Games Ever
I tryed to resist, but I gotta say it... I bought my SNES back in the days bundled with the original Street Fighter 2. Many hours of fun and/or frustration.
I also owned a Sega Master System2 but I can't say I remember any games to be good there (Sonic, well...), except, which was kinda sweet, that a game was hardcoded to the system so you could play "Alex Kid in Miracle world" without a cartride in the system.
