Right, so who here plays old retro games. And while RA2 is old, I don't think it counts as retro.

We're talking <1999 here, DreamCast allowed also.

I have a bit of a collection of retro games. Not much compared to some collectors, but more than your average person.

In addition to having a physical NES/SNES, I homebrew'd my wii to play ROMS from a bunch of old consoles up until the N64/PS1 era.

Tekken 3, pokemon gold/silver, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Sonic Adventure are retro now?

Jesus christ, stop making me feel older than I have any right to >.<

I guess I should list what I have. Like HA, its larger than your average person's collection.

I have a NES, SNES, MegaDrive, MasterSystem, PS1, Atari 2600 and a Dreamcast.

Me and my GameGear challenge you to a duel.

Wario's Woods, Pokemon Snap, and the Pokemon Stadium Minigames for me.

Somehow N64 always feels too "new and 3d" for me.

Oldest thing I've got is the Mario Bros Game And Watch (where they're putting the boxes in the van or whatever). Don't have any other retro consoles but I use Virtual Console quite a lot to play Sin And Punishment, Super Smash Bros 64, Lylat Wars and Super Metroid.

Do ports where the game itself is virtually unchanged but on a more modern console?

Enigm@ · « **Reply #17 on:** March 30, 2014, 03:23:05 PM »

I use emulators on my computer as well, (ie dosbox, zsnes) and i have a bunch of old 90's computer games like thief, diablo 2, systemshock 2, morrowind, half life, etc

That's the best part of retro-gaming. Some people will literally give that sh** away. I don't know how many times I've found games or even systems sitting on the curb during town-wide clean up.

That and finding stuff insanely cheap. I got two complete in box TI-99/4A computers for a dollar a piece.

The problem is the people that have the mindset "It's old, so it must be worth it's weight in gold." Find sh** like SMB/DH cartridges for $20 a piece. Hell no.

Damn, Diablo 2 came out in 2000

But Age of Empires 2 came out in 1999
