Old School Gamers

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 24, 2013, 8:03 AM


Please! I want to share and read about gamers that played and enjoyed a lot Old School games!!

I'm being a 32 y.o. guy, enjoyed a lot playing games since I was a little boy, sadly, in my Country... not... in my province, original games almost never came, or were so expensive that was obvious for us to play Pirate Famicom games, without memory batteries on them (I never played Zelda, Kirby, or another amazing games!)
So I enjoyed with other cool titles, as Super Mario USA (Super Mario Bros 2) Super Mario 3, the whole Famicom Rockman saga (my favorite), Samurai Pizza Cats, and in Super Nintendo I played another gems as Zelda a Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, a lot of fighting games... but once again, I didn't played a lot of AMAZING RPG games... so I decided to play a lot of them NOW! I'm on time, so I can enjoy a lot of games, because there were a lot of games I didn't play!

Well, tell me about your old school gaming memories, or if you're playing something right now!! I love to share those things! :dance:


Nothing for Now

Yo descubri video juegos cuando salio el N64 (la primera consola es de mi hermano) con la Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer, Donkey Kong 64, Pokemon Snap y Pokemon Stadium. Mi primer juego de GB fue la Pokemon Yellow, pero solo la podia jugar en la consola porque todavia no tenia un GB. Desde esos dias me ha encantado Pokemon y siempre intento de conseguirlas cuando puedo. La primera consola mia fue el PSone (el chiquito; no sabia que el nombre era diferente) con la FF7 y Crash Team Racing. No se porque, pero nosotros nunca tuvimos un SNES, pero lo jugabamos en la casa de nuestros amigos (Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Donkey Kong Country, etc).

Un par de aņos despues (cuando nuestro padre nos dio una laptop bien porqueria) un amigo nos habia dado un disco con emuladores y juegos de SNES; ahi fue cuando me enamore de Earthbound! Fue uno de los juegos con apariencia sencilla, pero dificultad compleja que me han encantado. Aunque no me acuerdo cuanto tiempo desde eso era que tuvimos el NES gracias a nuestro padrastro (creo que el todavia tiene las dos consolas suyas con sus juegos; solo hubieron como 3-5 que compramos nosotros mismos).

Es cierto!! vos sos muy joven en compararion conmigo! yo empece jugando a mis 11 aņos con consolas caseras y se trataba de la Famicom pirata (NES japonesa) yo tuve la Nintendo 64 ya al tener 18 aņos, ahi solo jugue Zelda Ocarina y se convirtio en uno de mis juegos favoritos!! aunque luego de venderla, no volvi a jugarlo... Tambien la PSX que la tuve un aņo antes que a la N64, ahi conoci a los Tales, que se convirtieron en mis juegos favoritos!

Earthbound!! es uno de los juegos pendientes en mi lista!!

I owned a Sega Megadrive and played all those greats like Sonic the Hedgehog for many years. uwu (then I got a Playstation and it changed my life, heh)

If you're looking for good SNES rpgs I recommend that you play Final Fantasy 6, Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger. C: And the Megadrive had some great rpgs too, like the Phantasy Star Series and Soleil/Crusader of Centy. (There's also Lunar on the Mega CD too!)

Have fun catching up!! C:

Oh, I never was a fan of Sega, I never owned one either... I remember that my cousin borrowed his Genesis, so I can be able to play Megaman the Wily Wars (I'm a big fan of classic Rockman games)

Oh yes!! I'm playing Illussion of Time (Illussion of Gaia is the USA name) and I will play Terranigma, because those are games with an interesting storyline. FF6, Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger are totally on my list!! :D

Yes, thank goodness for emulators!
Hmm... calssic games I liked...I Mostly played Sega Genesis. and some prety obscure titles at that

I liked Land-stalker actually though it did have a few issues.

The only RPG I can remember playing was something called "rings of Power" that was made by the same people that did Jak and Daxter

Oh! and Populous! I loved that game!

I agree, but there is just something about playing a game on the original system. Granted, it is getting harder to find to find some of those older consoles and games so emmulation is the next best thing. Oh, and also free :P

Of course!! the original system is absolutely irreplaceable, I have a SNES, but is old and I don't own the games I want to play, and I can't get them right away... (if I buy any on ebay, it takes a month to get here... and a lot are so expensive!)
So as you said, emulation, the next best thing! and better if I can play in my PSP!! :dance:
