Retro Gaming

[Herald of Eminence]

Hey guys, have you ever wanted to put down the newest games and take a moment to reflect on your earlier gaming experiences, just to soak in the memories? Going back to the good ol' days is nice. What are some games that bring back memories and what kinds of experiences did they create for you?

I don't think my response will really be "retro", considering I'm only 21.
There are lots of games that bring back amazing memories for me, though. I love talking about it, too!
The first would have to be Pac-Man. I mean the big arcade $0.50 machines. I always used to go to the laundromat with my aunt, and I would bring TONS of coins and a coloring book. I would spend most of my time there playing Pac-Man. blaugh
Pochahontas and Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis brings back so many good memories. Staying at my cousin's house, having a sleep over. Good stuff man.
Another one is Duke Nukem on the 64. When my cousins would spend the night over the summers, I was never allowed to play this game. My boy cousins (whom I would hover around, relentlessly) told me there was too much violence. But sometimes, really late at night when the parents were sleeping, they'd let me play. whee
And finally, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life on Gamecube. I used to play this game constantly with my best friend at the time. 14 years later, she's still my friend, and we still play it. 4laugh
Of course there are soooooooo many more games I could talk about, but these are the ones that stuck out the most. ^.^

Duck Tales and Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive were a few of my faves. Now I play Pokemon, Zelda, Spyro, Final Fantasy ^_^

Also board games like Monopoly and Scrabble. As well as card games like Switch and Rummy were fun to play with friends and family =D

Dig-Dug and Centipede. Without a doubt, those are two of the games that stick out most in my mind. My family would compete aggressively for the highest score.

No one ever touched my score on Dig-Dug. cool

Spyro the Dragon.
When my siblings and I got our PS1, we got the demo disc with Spyro on it.
We loved the demo so much, we bought the game.
We along with my cousins used to play it right after school.
I still own the first three games, and play them occasionally.
I hope to pass on the love for Spyro to my son as he gets older!

Brave Fencer Musashi was a game we played a lot!

Also, Streets of Rage for Sega Genesis! My dad, brother, and I used to play it!
