onetrueblade Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Old games just had something special that new games don't have in so much abundance. I know exactly what you mean. I've never gotten rid of any system I've had. The magic never goes away. Sure, I have the newer systems, but i don't get the same rush or joy from them. Those guys knew what they were doing back then.
onetrueblade Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Well, now for my hit list of games......................................................................................... Altered beast (oh, the addiction. I spazzed out when I finally beat it.)Ghouls and Ghosts (I wish I knew you had to play through it twice before I celebrated victory)Gunstar heroes (More major addiction. First thumb blisters from this one.)King of the monsters (Yeah! Go Woo! the monkey woo, not like woo hoo)Splatterhouse 2+3 (Killing zombies with cinderblocks and 2x4s? Count me in)Sword of vermillion (Took months of my life and I don't want them back.)any Phantasy star (Classic. classic. classic. Fed my love for rpgs) That's all I can think of off the top of my head. If and when I think of more I'll post them.

Devia Eleven Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Gunstar Heroes is THE game for the Genesis/MD along with Sonics. I played it all the time with my older brothers, for hours. As a child. We played it on every difficulty, I always picked the red guy, because of the control variation. It had great music, sound effects, humor, and a great storyline, and of course gameplay. The version on Gameboy is trash and can never compare to the original.
onetrueblade Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Just remembered 3 more. Mutant league hockey. Any hockey game where you can kill all the members of the other team to win is golden in my book. Mazinger Z. Kind of obscure, but I love side scrolling brawlers and the street fighter/mortal kombat style boss fights were cool. Columns. I never got into tetris, but this is the only game I could literally not stop playing. I had to have someone shut off the tv so I could be freed.

What the hell man?Heh. I was about to ask the same question. I suppose Columns involves more thinking because not only you have to align colors, not blocks so much. Like Tetris, Columns has about a gazillion variations and ports. Well, one can argue that Columns itself a variation Tetris, which is true.

The granddaddy of all puzzle games! What the hell man? Whenever it hit on game boy i was too into ninja turtles ( I was a youngun' in the days of the brickomatic game boy) to notice. by the time my attention turned to puzzle games I got hooked on tetris clones instead of the real thing. After this though, I'm heavily considering playing it. Edited October 16, 2007 by onetrueblade
