How many of you are into classic gaming?

[JawZ]

I have been using Mame32 for some time now....well over 2 years.

I love it.

One of my all time favorite titles....Super Zaxxon came up in the news because a fella has recently beaten the long standing record(20 years).

I can remember playing Zaxxon on my Colecovision.

It blew me away.

Just thought I'd share the fun:

Lot's of emulators and ROM's.;)

Wow what a blast from the past....Zaxxon. With that cool diagonal birds eye perspective.

I loved Star Castle....really old game where you're fly around this ring of circles...trying to get to the center.

The old original Battlezone......line drawn 3D tank game.

One of the early fighting games....Yi R KungFu.....could choose various weapons...like a very early Mortal Combat.

Tail Gunner....you'd sit down in this enclosure, have a joystick between your legs, in a spaceship flying forward...shooting enemy fighters coming from behind.

Fighter Pilot...another cool one.

Lets start a list of some memorable oldies!

How bout 1941, 1942, & 1943 for starters.:D

1943: The Battle of Midway was my fav back in the day.

I also loved Choplifter as well.
:D

My favorite Arcade classics were: Galaga, Defender, Super Sprint.

And of the classic consoles: Adventure (atari 2600) - yes i'm old
RBI baseball (NES) - owned anyone and everyone at this one :)
Super Metroid and Fzero (SNES)

Yep, i used to play one game of Galaga until i would get tired of it and give my game away or just end it. (anyone remember the cheat for it?)

[Lightstream]

Gyruss was my all=time favorite arcade game.

[YeOldeStonecat]

Defender...yeah, that was a cool one.

I remember the old Atari 2600 too....remember Yars Revenge? Combat? Missile Command was fun too.

[ace]

all those games are awesome, I use freeze sms. It plays sega, coleco, nintendo, intellivision, gameboy and a few others. Man the old games are really still very good. :D

[YARDofSTUF]

fzero was a cool game. for NES i love the zelda games, marble maddness, dragon warrior, Final fantasy, captain skyhawk, RC pro am, air fortress, and tons more.

[LT-73]

I still have some classics

Asteroids
Tempest
Pong

I've been trying for so long to find Pleides ( i think that's how it's spelled) and a game simliar to moonbase. Can't find it anywhere.

[loop2kil]

ooo, almost forgot Xevious for the arcade...lost a lot of quarters on that one too.

[Massa]

Jumpjet was sweet!

[koldchillah]

It's not as old as some of the others mentioned but I used to love playing the original Double Dragon on arcade... I also remember playing a game like Zaxxon on my Radio Shack TRS-80 wwwaaayy back... Oh, and can't deny Atari 2600, for which I had a ton of good games..

[Immortal]

Oh I love classic gaming!

I just played Doom 3 and it still bring back memories of how primitive us lifeforms marvel at such pitiful technology back at the 21st century...

Oh crap.. I've said too much.. they're gonna neutralize me now.. ah nuts...

Heehee...guess our agegroups are showing now, if Doom3 is considered classic. I was thinking about arcade games in the 70's. Early PC games I'd think the first Castle Wolfenstien.

PC games that got me into gaming hardcore, I'd say Duke Nukem, and Aces over Europe.....then I got bit by the bug. Then Quake 1 came out....and it was all over for me......I was thoroughly addicted.

[JawZ]

Guys....FZERO would make me puke after about 20 minutes LOL!:D That game was oh so fun but I guess it just didn't agree with me.

Remember Pitfall????

Old arcade games just rock when you think about it.

Spyhunter anyone????:D

LOL...oh man, yeah, Pitfall and Spyhunter! Wow...blast from the past, totally forgot about Spyhunter. Had that on a Sega Genesis, and I remember it at the arcade.

Pitfall...I can hear that corny sythensizer melody right now on the A 2600.

[incrediblecain]

I know of a few sites with old games. It is great to actually here music and sound effects coming through the mb speaker

[loop2kil]

Pitfall...the best i could ever get on that game was $186,000. that was not the top prize but i just ran out of time. funny i can remember that but cant remember what someone asked me yesterday about work...owell.

Never had Spyhunter on the pc or console only the arcade. Very fun game but i never really made any progress on it.

[Zilog B]

I used to spend a ton of time playing gauntlet, it was a big game that 4 people could play at once. Man I dumped a lot of $.25 into that thing.

"WIZARD NEEDS FOOD BADLY."

LOL

[RoundEye]

I used to dump a ton of money into Robotron 2084 (http://www.tripoint.org/robo/robotron.html).
