Best REAL Old Skool Games?

SoapySophie · 24-06-2008, 01:25 PM

What is your favorite old skool game?
I don't mean "OMGZZ!1! Fifa 2002 iz da best old game I EVA playd!!1!"
I mean, stuff Like Cool Spot - Mega drive (1994) Kind of old!

Games that came out before most members on this forum were even born let alone could walk or talk!

Obviously there are a few that have slipped my mind and/or couldnt fit into the poll.
So let me know if you remember any corkers

Out of that list I only really played Lemmings, Sonic, Fifa and Super Mario, all classics

Micro Machines should be there too

SoapySophie · 24-06-2008, 04:02 PM

How could I forget Micro Machines!?! :O

MadMax2506 · 24-06-2008, 05:05 PM

Tut tut! I remember the days where we only had 1 Computer, 1 keybaord, no mouse. And 4 of us playing micromachines on 1 keyboard

Those were the days!

EAUK_Aurora · 24-06-2008, 05:08 PM

Atic Attack on ZX Spectrum

savillbros · 24-06-2008, 05:24 PM

I voted other.... Crash Bandicoot, all of them they were so good.
(and funny)

AcesOyster · 24-06-2008, 05:35 PM

I've still got a megadrive.

AarontheblueSmurf · 24-06-2008, 06:23 PM

Sonic its class

sammeboy11 · 24-06-2008, 07:55 PM

omg i had micro machines i think!
is that the little guys running about like crazy in races?

The Jake · 24-06-2008, 08:09 PM

I've got the first 3 Mario Bros. on Nes and Sonic 3.

That's a pretty good game.
But streets of rage, and sonic were good as well. I also had lot's of fun playing Aladdin. ._.

Ecco the Dolphin was weird, I had no idea what to do.

My favourite out of that list would be Mario bros.

Lauren · 24-06-2008, 08:22 PM

Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros, Aladdin, Paperboy, (Apparently I voted FIFA 97, but I didn't, 97 isn't retro), Mortal Kombat, Lemmings.

Other: Final Fantasy- VII, VIII (the good ole multiple disc days

), Tactics. Pacman. Ferris Buellers Day Off. The Bill and Ted series. Screwball Scramble (The OLD one, not the crappy new one). Mouse Trap (the old one too). Saga system(California Games springs to mind.). Pokemon, the ones up to Crystal.

I'm the only one who posted Paperboy? It's a clasic!
