It's amazing how far video games have come since back in "the day". But let's not forget where it all started. So lately I've been rockin some old school NES games on the wii virtual console. Mostly old Legend of Zeldas and Metroid. So what's everyone's favorite old school games?

Old school video games
- Thread starter Darthpepper
- Start date
Mortal kombat II, Tobal No 1, Zombies ate my neighbors, lost vikings ( SNES Only Please), Clay fighter, Wiz n Liz, Crash Bandicoot, Maximum Carnage, and a few more.
Not that familiar with the NES games. Is that the Nintendo system? When someone talks about "old school," it makes me think of the old console games in the arcades: Asteroids, Centipede, PacMan, Qbert, Galaga, Space Invaders (REALLY old school), Wizard of Wor, and my personal favorite, Tempest. Reminds me of High School.

Asteroids and Space Invaders
Had 'em for an Atari 5200 back in '82. Santa brought it.
4-bit graphics back then.
Makes me want to hook up the kid's Wii.
10 yard fight
Super Mario, Sonic, Tetris
R-type on the Amiga a500 was one of my all time favourites and also cannon Fodder 
ah yes TEMPEST how could i forget i loved that game!!
Has anyone ever played echelon? I had it for commador 64 in the mid 80s. It was a great game. I wish I could find a way to play it again. There was another game I had for the C64 that I can't remember the name. You searched through an old tomb filled with mummies/zombies/aliens (I don't know what they were). It was mostly 1st person. Wish I could remember.

who remembers NEC TURBO GRAFIX 16?? it was the first CD driven gaming system
I remember it well because it was the hottest thing at the local mall where i used to buy my music and stereo equipment
it was not too popular because the technology took off so quick it was obsolete soon after it hit the stores, at least that's what i think i heard about it??
thanks your friend Joe
