Retro/Classic Gaming - Anything video game related that was released during the PlayStation/Nintendo 64 era or before. The only newer generation system accepted into this category would be the Sega Dreamcast.
This is how the classic gaming community defines it's self.
Discuss all things that fit this definition in this thread.

MGS is probably my favorite PS1 game, unoriginal as that may be as a choice.
Who here loves Super Metroid?

Who here loves Super Metroid?
Oh yes, I've recently downloaded it for my Wii, and I must say, it's really good. I already had Metroid II: Return of Samus on my Gameboy and I'm hoping to obtain Metroid: Zero Mission at some point, so I figured- why not?

Who here played Spyro or Crash Bandicoot as a kid? And I really need to try out Super Metroid, I've never heard a bad thing about it.
-
Who here played Spyro or Crash Bandicoot as a kid?
All the time. =D I've completed Crash Bandicoot 2 twice, and Spyro 3 four times. Both of them are still in my Top 10 video games, Spyro's probably in my Top 5. I would say they're better than some of the big shoot-em-up games nowadays, such as Halo and Call Of Duty. I play video games to escape reality, not simulate it. And if I wanted to simulate it, I wouldn't want to simulate war.
-
3 reviewers/collectors I shouldn't have left out:
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheLastGamertube (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheLastGamertube) - Probably the largest collection on youtube he even has his own arcade!

http://www.youtube.com/user/SteveBenway (http://www.youtube.com/user/SteveBenway) - owner of http://www.retrogamingcollector.com (http://www.retrogamingcollector.com) has a huge collection including retro computers! and seems to be very knowledgeable and well-spoken.

Yey. I've completed every Spyro game in original trilogy, Crash 2 and Spyro 5 (4 was a glitchy, unfinished mess). I wouldn't consider Spyro 3 the best game of all time, but it definitely is my favourite of all time. Playing that game always puts me in a good mood.

My childhood consisted of Doom 2, System Shock, Quake 3, and Robot Arena.
-
doom was in mine too along with duke 3d and a little wolfenstein 3d, it came a tad later then most my previously posted gaming memories though.
My most loved games have all got some great customisation in them like 4d boxing, 4d driving (which I knew only as stunts) and even newer games like robot arena 2 and jade cocoon. 3D movie maker is probably my most played game of all time (not my fav though) I spent ages (literally ages..) on that making movies and watching other movies from people in the community, it had a pretty large community with loads of sites and tonnes of movies.

I thought Twinsanity was Ok. It's when Crash of the titans came along when the series took a major turn for the worse IMO.

Oh god. The voice acting :dead:
Grab a copy of Baldur's Gate 2 if you like RPGs
As for me, my childhood mostly consisted of LoZ: Ocarina Of Time and Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing, but my favorite classic games are Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Age Of Empires 2 (this game probably defines gaming in my childhood), MGS, and Mario Kart 64.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I still play that game today.

Wrath of Cortex was the first Crash Bandicoot game that was made after Naughty Dog left Universal Interactive Studios, who still owned the rights to the Crash Bandicoot franchise. That probably had something to do with it.

My childhood was spent with my mom's NES and the three SMB games. I finally finished SMB3 a few months ago (it was the GBA remake sadly, we sold the NES for a Gamecube a long time ago)
-
The 3 games that made up most of my childhood were RA2, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and Need for Speed III. All for PC.
All these came close:
Driver - PC
Doom - PC
Silent Hill 2 - PS2
Grand Theft Auto III - PS2
Microsoft Train Simulator - PC
And a bunch of other games I'm too lazy to post/can't remember.
-
I didn't find the voice acting in FFX that bad, a little cheesy yeah but that's to be expected in a game like final fantasy. Seymour, Jecht, Wakka etc. were all voiced well i only found tidus and yuna a little cheesy really :P
I loved the combat, loved most the characters, loved the maps, loved blitzball and seymour is one of the best bad guys i've fought against in video games.. he genuinely ticks you off after the 1 millionth fight (you just wish he'd die already) lol which is a good thing.
-
I can't really remember every last one of the games I loved on older consoles, so I will just do a list of the ones that I can remember
Crash Bandicoot (all the PS1 ones)
Spyro (the three for the PS1)
Muppets Racing
Ape Escape
Final Fantasy (I, II, V, and VI, and VIII don't count because I have yet to play them/properly play them, and if XI counts, I haven't played that one either)
Theme Park World
Pokemon Stadium
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I really want to play Majora's Mask)
Star Wars Racing
Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart 64
Clayfighter 64
...That game on the N64 where you play as a star that I can only vaguely remember, all I can really remember is that he had stretchy arms, and I can only barely remember some of the places...the only other thing I can remember is that it was 3D
Banjo Kazooie
Super Mario 64
Sonic Adventure
Soul Calibur
Wizkid
Sensible Soccer
Another World (I haven't ever gotten that far in it because it is hard as heck if you don't know what to do, it is mostly trial and error, but I still had a bit of fun)
Flashback (not really done too much in this either)
Pokemon (since this is the retro thread, whatever ones you class as being retro, although I think that my favourite was Silver/Goold/Crystal)
Tetris
Super Mario
Tony Hawks (the one for the Game Boy Colour)
Pokemon Trading Card Game
Yu-Gi-Oh
And since I am getting bored of trudging through my memory, I will put one PS2 game here; I-Ninja, one of the games that I am looking to get again because of how much I enjoyed it.
And a whole load of other games that I can't remember at the moment.

Tidus's character in general is something I find pretty annoying (a little worse than Cloud from FF7), but I've never been a JRPG person. In terms of the settings, they kick ass (if a western RPG used the same styling as FF it would be awesome), but the characters are rather bland or just stupid IMO. I kinda like FF6 because it's not really about one or two individual characters, but it's still not great in that area and the plot's forgettable.

Vectrex time! A lot of people don't even know this insanely awesome console exists which is a damn shame, it could have been bigger then the NES if it weren't for the games crash so I'm here to show you just how revolutionary this console was.
*Vector grahpics - could give games the illusion of 3D and provided very sharp and bright graphics:
(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XLson0x4_J4/0.jpg)
*Overlays: Gave games color, provided control explanation and a little UI (player 1 and player 2 score positions etc.):
(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/13/131403/2158000-mess_vectrex_poleposition.png)
*Built-in controller and screen!:
(http://www.retrogamingcollector.com/Vintage-Consoles/Vectrex.jpg)
All this and more featured on this epic console that was released in 1982 in north america! the vectrex was truely ahead of it's time.

I spent a lot of time playing Civilization II for PS1. I woke up every day at 4-5 A.M. and played it until seven o'clock usually, because school started at eight so I needed to be ready.
Also i played Crash Bandicoot and Tekken a lot. My father even owned a club, where everybody was able to play on PS1(not for free). He always played Tekken and a lot of other games better than me because of it.
Before PS1 i had got a Sega Mega Drive, i think it's called Sega Genesis in U.S., and there was a lot of cool games too. Mortal Kombat 3 was pretty decent, and game called Columns III was great too, i still play it sometimes using a emulator.
(Can somebody find mistakes in that text? I want to make my English a bit better.)

Everyone has already mentioned the original 3 Crash and Spyro games, so I don't need to mention them(Spyro 2 is the best, IMO)
And Crash Team Racing is still one of the greatest games ever.

I really need to get a copy of SimCity 3000 UK Edition and re-play that bad boy some time. I remember choosing a city that was pre-built and demolishing it with tornadoes and sh**. It was fun.

sim city 2000 get
and I seem to finally get a city to be sustainable. Naryarville is doing quite well for now.

Oh my god yes. Although I never liked you could only play 3 cars.
I loved Crash Bandicoot, and its too bad they don't make them anymore. But the holy grail would have to be Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal 2. I honestly miss the PSone days of gaming, when graphics and online didn't matter, just the pure fun of the game.

No it didn't. I would smite the plane with my mighty fist and shatter it into a milion pieces before it touches the ground anyways. Other airlines, however, have crashed.
The town is quite vulnerable to earthquakes, flooding and plane accidents though. Maybe the windmill farm right next to the airport isn't such a good idea.

It looks more like TI-99/4A graphics though.

Graphics aren't everything. If the gameplay is terrible and/or buggy, the game will be rubbish regardless of whether the graphics are nice or not, but if the gameplay mechanic works well, then it can be good even if it doesn't really look nice. Hell, even some modern games have graphics that could be considered sub-par and the gameplay is still good. (I would say that this is mainly for the DS/PSP, although there are probably some for the PS3/360/Wii). I have never seen a time where good graphics have been a factor that makes the game good, apart from in some cases where I have seen the reviewers say 'at least it looks nice' and, to be honest, that's probably a game you don't want to buy.

Okay okay i admit it's not the graphics that get to me... It's that there's no way to save your progress in most older games
That being said i do enjoy some older games:
I own a Sega Game Gear and own (And enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog & Sonic Chaos)
Pac-Man is F*****g awesome
Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) was awesome aside from the S****y camera
The N64 Has some pretty stellar games (Starfox 64, the Turok franchise (What the heck happened to it anyway?), Pokemon Puzzle League, The two Banjo-Kazooie games for the console,)
The Syphon Filter games for the ps1 were cool
I'm not that big on ping-pong but i do respect Pong because without it there would be no RA2's or Okamis (Or any video games for that matter)
Asteroids is a blast (Get it blast... Your blasting Asteroids to bits)
And I am hopelessly addicted to Breakout

-
duke is simply more fun IMO, the characters are better, the voice acting is better, the one liners are awesome, there were no elitists to worry about in multi-player, more enjoyable single player and better scenery.
-
modern sonic is actually alot better then classic. :trollface

modern sonic is actually alot better then classic. :trollface
Well, Sonic Battle Adventures 2 was the only modern game of Sonic I've played, and it was pretty good. Voice acting was good, Voice PLACEMENT was horribadisastrous. I mean seriously..
"He's using the chaos emerald tomytenalemepoisrtshadow!"
To this day I still don't know wtf Shadow said. Good gameplay though.
I grew up on
-Carmageddon 1 and 2
-GTA2 and 3
-Mortal Kombat 2 and 3
-Street Fighter 2
-POKEMONPOKEMONPOKEMONPOKEMONPOKEMON
-Metal Gear Solid 1
-TEKKEN
-Soul Calibur 1 and 2
-Stratosphere
-Driver 1 and 2
-Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction (Potate, you potatoes!)
-I THINK it was RA1, idk..
-Namco Museum and Midway's Greatest Treasures (A ton of arcade games, basically)

"My name is Shadow- I'm the world's ultimate life form. There's no time for playing games- farewell!"
I always thought that was intentional- it's not like when they're fighting each other, they're going to let each other politely finish. I do still have Sonic Adventure 2: Battle actually, and I do still play it from time to time.
-
Well yeah, but I think that one part would be so much better if it were "He's using the Chaos Emerald to teleport!" and THEN "My name is Shadow.."
I think if he wanted to interrupt Sonic, he'd be all like "EY, I'M A GODDAMN MOTHAF**KIN RED AND BLACK HEDGEHOG AND I'M YOU AND LOGIC SUCKS SO YEAH GOTTA GO NOW COPS ARE COMING"
And the other part, where you first meet Knuckles, went something like this.
"Wha? Thief!"
"Look who's calling WHO a thief."
"LOL I'M EGGMAN CAN'T HEAR YOU I'VE GOT THIS SHINY THINGY"

Why are game gear games so damn hard to find? (I'd love to add more to my collection)
I have roughly eighteen games for the Game Gear. My Game Gear seems to have bit the dust, though.
The Game Gear was another system released by Sega that was before it's time. It was in color and backlit way before the Game Boy was.
Their other "before it's time" system was the Dreamcast. It was the Xbox 360 of it's time. It ran Windows CE and had the ability to play online. It would have been great if the internet technology had been better at the time. Dial-up was the Dreamcast's coffin... The lack of games for it was the final nail in said coffin.

Fishing with the Dreamcast is so much fun. <3

It would have been great if the internet technology had been better at the time. Dial-up was the Dreamcast's coffin... The lack of games for it was the final nail in said coffin.
Fishing with the Dreamcast is so much fun. <3
You really need Soulcalibur or Sonic Adventure if you have a Dreamcast

And Power Stone 2- that was awesome :approve:

KISS Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child...
The whole reason I wanted a Dreamcast.

I have Powerstone 2 (wicked fun) Sonic Adventures (kinda bleh) and Soul Calibur (epic!)
Don't have KISS though... will have to see if there still is an active download for it somewhere.

Honestly, the PC version is better, but it's still a good play.

Homebrew... I meant official releases.

What about the Shenmue series

Those were official releases... Unless someone made some homebrew sequels.

I know they were official thats why i put them up.

That would prove my theory, then. High speed internet was widely available in Japan long before the US. The Dreamcast was just before it's time...
Can you imagine what a Sega console for this generation may have been like?

Yeah I can imagine
BTW does the PS2 count as a retro console now that it's out of production?

Depends, do you play pixelized games on it while hearing 8-bit music?
Do you have to blow out the cartridge every time before you play?
No hard feelings but the PS2 console is still pretty modern.

What about the Xbox (The first one not the 360)

It's at the same level that PS2 and Awesomecube are at. They aren't made anymore, games for them are extremely hard to find, but they were modern for their time and are still relevant now.
Most of the reason why people are ditching older consoles (like those three) for the next ones up (PS3, Xbox 360) is because of Graphics. People were buying Wii for the super-analogue gameplay, because Nintendo is smarter than Sony and Microsoft. I've seen better graphics on games for Gamecube and PS2 versus games on PS3 and Xbox 360.
-
I personally think retro and classic gaming is gaming before the year 2000.
-
Yeah, you can easily use the 'PS2 isn't retro because it doesn't have 8-bit and cartridges' logic (which is somewhat true, PS2 and Xbox isn't retro) to say that the PS1 isn't retro either, and I'd certainly say it's pretty classic.

The first post of the thread gives the criteria of retro-gaming.
And the PS2 is still in production... They still manufacture and sell consoles and one of the 2012 sports titles came out for it.

hmm then what of the GBA?

I disagree with this. While not as old as some others, the PS1 is pretty retro. I'm under educated here, but I think PS1, N64 and.. well Microsoft didn't really do consoles back then I don't think so just PS1 and N64 are at the same levels with eachother.

Retro. It's the predecessor to the Nintendo DS for the most part.

That's what I was saying. :)

Here's how it goes for me.
Anything before PS1 is Retro.
Anything before Xbox 360 is Classic.

Anyone here ever get an Atari Jaguar?
I remember seeing those in the stores at the end of their life. I could have gotten a new one for $30... Been regretting it ever since. Had I known eBay and the internet explosion was right around the timeline corner, I totally would have snagged that $30 Jag. q.q

Refer to the first post...
Retro/Classic Gaming - Anything video game related that was released during the PlayStation/Nintendo 64 era or before. The only newer generation system accepted into this category would be the Sega Dreamcast.
This is how the classic gaming community defines it's self.
Discuss all things that fit this definition in this thread.

This, but for just about every NES game that was released after the SNES. The later they were made, the harder they are to find, it seems. Same goes for Atari 2600 games.

lol nope, my dad was into computers etc. so we grew up with an apple pc and a C64.
I probably consider games/systems from 2 generations ago and before to be classic/retro
Also I'm not sure if anyone has seen this but some guy sold his massive collection of video games which was made up of (mostly sealed) nintendo/sega/nec fullsets including rare titles for $1.2 million US (1 million Euro) link to auction:

Been playing homeworld 1 right now.
It's the first 3D space RTS ever, and it's still pretty awesome. Hard as heck, but still awesome.
Now to win it without cheats...

A handheld PS2 would be nice, but that one seems to have a strange configuration for D-pad in relation to the analog sticks. You would have to hold it weird for a lot of the games I would play.

there are some better ones out there, at the moment I'm trying to find a nice custom magnavox odyssey handheld lol :)

I have a couple extra Odyssey2s for parts, so I might be able to make a portable Odyssey2, if I wanted. :laughing

Ah I remember this series... I played my copies of MoH Frontlines and Rising Sun to death... Sucks that the franchise jumped on the Modern Warfare bandwagon instead of sticking to the WWII timeline.
