Your Favorite Old School Game
Anything that is not on the 360, PS3, or Wii will be considered "old school" because i wanna be respectful to age here
heres one you guys might not have heard of :confused: jet grind radio (jet set radio) - sega dreamcast |
Most of the games I really like are old school.
SMT: Nocturne, Shadow Tower Abyss, basically creepy dungeon crawlers. |
It's kinda hard naming one, I've got so many............
|
To name a few.
* Y's * Illusions of Gaia * Secret of Mana * Terranigma * Lufia * Lunar * Legend of Heros * Vanguard Bandits/Epica Stella * Growlanser * Xenogears * Wild Arms * Shenmue Just a few. :3 If I really had to choose one title, probably I'd probably have to say Xenogears; it sticks out like a sore thumb and I can never seem to get bored of it. Ironically the opposite of Xenosaga, but that's another story... |
Within the past few years I revisited a ton of old games, and sort of systematically developed a dislike for most of them, lol.
Two games from a few generations back that I did (re)play and quite enjoyed were The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and Panzer Dragoon Saga. The former I was really appreciating much more the second time, and I think it managed to kick Ocarina from its long-time top Zelda game spot.... unfortunately I lost my saved game a good ways in and never got to complete it. I'm sure I will pick it up again sometime. Panzer Dragoon Saga I played for the first time and found it to be a incredibly interesting and unique for a PS1-era RPG... I didn't complete it either, but if there was one RPG I was going to revisit from that generation of consoles, it would be that game. |
My favorite old school game is the Streets of Rage series. As well as Lunar Silver Star Story. Great games.
|
Rival schools I got the last copy at this store before it closed, and project justice unfortunately I sold my dreamcast,well my parents did. Also sonic adventure 1 and 2

Old School? Oh, the 90s' PC era was just plain awesome. :o
Atomic Bomberman Diablo Doom Drakan - Order of the Flame Dune Fallout Golden Axe Mortal Kombat NHL 93 Prince of Persia Rayman The Secret of Monkey Island Warcraft: Orcs & Humans ...and of course, ancient stuff like Mario and Sonic. Kinda makes me sad that there are almost exclusively console players out here on AS. :) |
N64 - turock
Ps1 - Final Fantasy 7-9 Gamecube - pokemon gale of darkness ps2 - Final Fantasy 10 |
Born during N64's rise so my favourite old games were:
Zelda OoT Zelda MM Bomberman 64 Mario Kart 64 Super Mario 64 Banjo-Kazooie Body Harvest Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire (not sure if it is this game but I did play a star wars game) Populus for the PC Sonic 3D Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic and Knuckles |
Atari:
Combat - Still one of the best multiplayer games ever imo. NES Ice Hockey - Yeah, generic Ice Hockey. Back in my day we didn't have any of these fancy graphics or yearly roster updates, we had pixellated guy, fat pixellated guy, and skinny pixellated guy, and we LIKED it. Guerrilla War - Completely generic shoot em up but I used to play it for hours on end. Mario 3 SNES Chrono Trigger Secret of Mana Earthbound Final Fantasy 4 and 6 Super Mario World N64 Goldeneye Perfect Dark Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon - Impact's theme alone makes this one of the best games ever Bomberman 64 Road Rash 64 - Forget Mario Kart, this is by far the most fun I have ever had with a racing game Super Mario 64 PC Master of Orion 2 - All the interesting parts of an empire building sim with none of the mundane micromanagement. I still consider this the best game ever of that genre and it's from 1997. Warcraft 2 Starcraft |
