im playing Shadowrun from the Super Nintendo on a hacked psp! awesome cant stop playing it, its a real cyberpunk game basically its Blade Runner the game since its in a similar universe. More people need to play this, really underrated!

Still have my NES, SNES and Mega Drive up in attic - they all still work too, built to last (unlike recent consoles)

Any underrated old skool game faves?

Been gaming since I was born. I absolutely loved Snoopy's Magic Show on the Gameboy! I may dig it out and play it again now actually!

its hard to remember my first game i ever played but my big brother was a huge nes and snes fan, we never had any sega's and i gamed ever since i could remember thanks to my big bro

i still play most of them today on an emulator, would be awesome to have the original console but i just dont have the room for it all, and i'm finally getting some genesis games on the go aswell, agent orange is a big fan of the retro games, i'm surprised he's not invaded the place already.

i love retro games, theres something about them new games cannot do i'm still playing super mario rpg, what a fantastiv game that was, shame it was released at the end of the snes's life else everyone would have played it !

Some oldschool games I'm playing lately:

Metroid 2 - Return of Samus (Gameboy)
Zelda - Link's Awakening (GameBoy)
Terranigma (SNES)
Castlevania (NES)

Just re-discovered I can play those old GameBoy classic games on my Gamecube ON MY TV! Playing Wario Land 3 on big screen is just too funny. :lol:

Yeah one right here.

Playing Chrono Trigger on DS (but basically the same as SNES)
Castlevania : Aria of Sorrow (GBA, But using the Gamecube GBA player)
Super Castlevania 4 (SNES - My favorite Castlevania, favorite music)
Shenmue (Dreamcast - Just played it for 2 days and then had to get back to normal living again)

It's too hard to find time to play any game these days. There's still so many old school games I want to play and get through...

Also playing Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix... But man I hate the 360 d-pads. It's not really a retro game. But its a update of a game that was an update of a game that you could call retro.. :lol:

Good choices! 4 is indeed very good (music!), but I like the freedom in other castlevanias more. AoS is brilliant too. Finished it not too long ago. It has a timer so I can do a speedrun for it too. :lol:

Yes man! They've all got good music (besides HOD on GBA) but the music on SC4 just is soooo good. Plus the game have alot of stages so there is tons of music in it. I love how the classic tunes in Castlevania games get redone time and time again....

I agree the newer Castlevania's are good and it was a good move to go the way of Metroid style exploration. But I'd love for them to make a new castlevania in the old linear style of the early ones... I mean, now that I've kicked Rondo of Bloods ass a few times.. I've only got to finish The megadrive castlevania.. then thats it for the old school ones.

I aint done a speed run of anything for years.. probably the last time I did that was with maybe RE1 on the PS... I'm certain my best time for that was somewhere around 1hr 20mins..

But coz I got so many games I haven't got time to learn a game inside out.

Metroid 3 on wii makes a perfect good use of the wii controls, i mean a proper innovative way of playng fps and if you liked the 2 prvious Metroids i really recomend you to try this one.
Will not be disapointed. :wink:

ah yeah i always wanted a sega when it was out, my household was nintendo only until the PS arrived and yet that was supposed to be nintendo.

first console was the Nes and i still own the thing but i never use the console itself to play games simply because i no longer have a tv that will work with it.

anywayy i've owned:

Nes, Gameboy, Snes, Gameboy Colour, atari 5200, Ps one and its smaller psx version, n64.

i also had/have the gamecube, ps2, ps3, xbox (sold it because i thought it was shite and it was !) xbox 360 and the wii and gba but there not classed as retro and might not be for many years

and in the games department, i'm running through zelda 2 for the Nes at the moment, i've always wanted to get it finished !
