Hey all,
Last night I dug out a copy of Black and White, my all time favourite game! I was wondering if anyone else can help me not feel like so much of a nerd and talk about their favourites from a simpler time? B |

Im a big gamer.
Classics on playstation were castlevania symphony of the night and metal gear solid. I also play red alert 2 which is 9 years old now. Never played black or white though! Its all about the xbox 360 and call of duty these days though

A couple years back, I got an 8-bit NES off of Ebay. Pretty much got it to play Super Tecmo Bowl, Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Bros. 3. And have enjoyed it thoroughly.

I seem to remember something like that in the foggy ressesses of my mind :S Also I have a working SNES system and a commador 64 that now sadly wont play on my HD tv cos theres no arial socket (or there is and I cant find it... damn things bolted to the wall!) |

Retro MGS was far better than the new one for PS3... far too much like a movie |

I ended up getting an N64 free a couple years ago. Still looking to get Super Mario World and MarioKart 64, but have gotten Goldeneye. As for the connections, I have both of those hooked up to an old CRT TV still, so there's no problem. If that ever went out, I don't know if I'd have the hookups on an LCD set. |

There are many java-based online versions of the old games, such as digger and similar stuff. TJ started a thread about it.
I like the old computer games from EGA times, Leisure Suit Larry, Space Quest and some others. But it's a nice memory I don't want to destroy by playing them again today....

If you want to play snes games then you can download an emulator. I used this site to get it http://www.coolrom.com/ after you download the emulator you need to download the roms. They have loads on there and you can even connect a PS2 controller up if you buy the lead from ebay (about £5). My fav snes games were mario kart, turtles in time, striker, mortal kombat, super mario world and many others.
You can download a PSX one and all the retro consoles too. The PSX one was tricky to set up but I havent tried the older ones. The snes one is pretty easy... give it a go
