Old School Gaming?

[Xenphir]

Who still loves (And maybe occasionally play) older games? What systems are "Old" to you?

To me, Play Station (One), Sega Genesis, and the Nintendo GameCube are my favorite systems. My sister had a Nintendo sixty four but I never got to play much on it. Not sure if it could be considered old or not, but perhaps Play Station two and the old PSP (Version 1001) ?

I still play on the N64. :-) Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, and Pokemon Puzzle Party with one of my best friends.

I break out Nintendo games via emulator from time to time, but the system I'm most fond of is the SNES (which also comes out on emulator from time to time).

I wish I still had my Gamecube though. Loved Metroid Prime 1 and 2.

Oldschool though is anything before 1998 for me.

[Xenphir]

Ah I have mine but the cord is broken so I have to get a new one. I didn't have much else from Nintendo so I'm unable to say many games from there. Though on the GameCube my favorite, (And still my favorite game of all time) Is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.  I also enjoyed the Mario Party for GameCube. For the Sega I liked Crusader of Centy and Wonder Boy in Monster World.

Then for Play Station I liked Skull Monkeys and some other game that I can't find for it :o

Loved Mario Kart 64, along with the Bomberman games....

Are you talking the oldest games system we currently own, or the oldest ones we played?  I had a Pong system when I was a wee Oni. 

[Valthazar]

My favorite console of all time is the Sega Dreamcast.

[Xenphir]

Either Or, Oni :3 I had an Atari pong too :O Maybe it's still even in the basement :o

Never had a Dreamcast o3o

[Beguile's Mistress]

I used to have an Atari and a Space Invaders cartridge.

My favorite console of all time is the Sega Dreamcast.

Twas like a swarm of fireflies on a summer evening: Bright, beautiful, and gone the next time you look.

I had a Dreamcast, but only ever had Sonic Adventures 1 and 2, and Crazy Taxi 2. :3

Yeah, such a great system, too bad it didn't stick around too long.  I'm still waiting for Shenmue 3 to come out on one of the new consoles, that was a great game series.

I still have my Intellivision.... I also have a PS1, Game Gear, Dreamcast... I still need to find the one Mobile Suit Gundam for the Dreamcast yet... It played from a cockpit view, awesome for an old Mechwarrior fan like myself. I also still play classic Doom regularly...

Welcome to...

THE POWERSTONE WARS.

Screw Super Smash Bros., Powerstone is where it's at for funtimes fighttimes.

As for what I still currently play now and then, the oldest-school I get is probably the occasional nostalgia run of Marathon 2 or Thief for PC, or Final Fantasy Tactics or Tenchu for PS1. I haven't done any nostalgia gaming like that in a while, though.

[Xenphir]

Tactics annoyed me a bit xD Does anyone consider Play Station Two old school?

[Tsenta]

Man I still bust out my old NES and Atari games when the need arises. Man I feel old. >_>;

[Shjade]

Nah, yer not that old. I gave my NES to, I think, a cousin years ago. Or maybe that was my SNES and the NES had stopped working. I don't recall.

Regardless, this is what emulators are for! And Flash remakes and the like.

Hah, Crabby, you weren't ALIVE when the 2600 or the TRX-80 came out.  I was.

Young punk. ;D

[Formless]

I used to own an Atari. Though my old school system would be the MSX. When I played Metal gear in that consol , I didn't expect it to be one of the biggest series after 2 decades.

Add to it ' Valkyrie Profile ' and you have me on the best nostalgia trip.

Anyone remember these days?

And even still today we whine about load times lol

[Hemingway]

I still play a bunch of older games more than occasionally, I'd say. Command & Conquer is still one of my all-time favorites, same with the first X-COM. I also occasionally play SNES games, mainly the classic Final Fantasy ones.

I learned BASIC on an Atari 400 and an Apple ][+  *shakes cane at you*  ;)

Me too.

I still pull out my old Tex Murphy-games from time to time, especially The Pandora Project which I have played through more times than I remember. Transport Tycoon Deluxe is another oldie I like to play, and Ports of Call was a lot of fun to re-visit a few years back.

I'm actually starting an RPG based (kind of loosely) on this classic:

Ah, the days when having a hard drive was something you had to specify as a requirement.
