Default The Classic Video Game Thread

I reached my formative years during the 16-bit era, gaming's Silver Era. I like old 16-bit games. So I've started this thread to reminisce about the good old days.

Super Mario World for the Super NES is still the greatest game ever made.

Asalaamualaikum,

I have to disagree with both of you and say Tetris Attack! It's pure addictive! Also, I have to throw in Super Mario Kart. My brother and I were just playing battle mode yesterday. Fun times.

Asalaamualaikum,

Zelda is an awesome series. I could never think up such creative puzzles. I have to resort to guides to get through just about every Zelda game I play, but it's an awesome series.

Default Re: The Classic Video Game Thread

it's funny to see people talking about snes & sega genesis games when referring to 'classic' video games. except for zakk, of course, who had the original 'pong.'

some classic video games:

pacman, arcade & atari
galaga, arcade & atari
q-bert, arcade
pole position in the arcade (i still remember how cool i thought that game was when i was little)
pitfall on the commodore 64
berzerk on the vectrex, atari, and commodore 64
blitz on the vectrex
parsec on the pc jr edit: it was on the ti994/a, not the pc jr
ninja gaiden, arcade
shinobi, arcade
'adventure' for the pc (text based adventure game)
'zork' for the pc/apple 2
where in the world is carmen sandiego (original, apple 2 & pc)
oregon trail (original, apple 2e - where your guy was a stick figure when you hunted, and you had to use the number pad)
california games (apple 2, pc)
moon patrol (apple 2)
karateka (apple 2)
super mario bros series on the nes
mike tyson's punchout, nes
tecmo bowl, nes
the konami shoot em ups on the nes - contra, life force, gradius, etc etc
deja vu: a nightmare come true (nes, macintosh)
the original double dragon (arcade, pc, nes)
ikari warriors (commodore 64, arcade)

btw, the best snes game ever was 'shadowrun.'

hey zakk, remember the helicopter shape in logo?

i will conclude with: up up down down left right left right b, a, [select, if two players], start.

yeah, the default shape was a turtle.. you could change the shape with the SHAPE command, though.
