Going back to play old games...

Moley · 13-07-2010, 10:29

The XCOM thread has got me thinking...

So even though I love alot of modern games, I still find myself going back and playing stuff from years ago. I still have on my shelves a stack of ZX Spectrum gear, PS1, PS2, Original Xbox and a whole shelf full of older PC games.

I often reload and play the original Eye of the Beholder, Planescape Torment, Star Wars: Knights of the old republic 1 & 2.

An old favourite of mine has just arrived in the post this morning - Second Sight for the xbox (£3 off the 'bay).

What olden goldies do you lot play?

I stocked up on Atari Lynx games a while back. All the ones I couldn't afford when I was a kid. It's a pretty awesome bit of kit considering it's coming up to 20 years old now. Eek!

Paperboy, Hard Drivin', Toki etc.

Id love to try some of the old C64 games, only last night I was looking for videos of Buggy Boy and Fairlight on Youtube

At least once a year I crack out Toejam & Earl and complete it. Best game ever.

Yesterday my housemate bought the Megadrive pack for Xbox 360 - we drank red wine and played Golden Axe 2, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast, Bonanza Brothers and Decap-Attack. Awesome.

Bonanza Bros! Good call!

I wish I could remember the title of a C64 game, all I remember was a robot that had to move throughout the level by using transporters, if he didnt make it to a transporter in time, you lost a life. Would love to play that one again.

Monty Mole!!!! Love that!

My SNES Emulator still gets a lot of use.

Super Mario Kart battle mode is still amazing. Then there's Street Fighter 2, Zelda, Super Mario World, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Actraiser and so many others

I've also got all the Lucasarts Point'n clickers loaded up into SCUMMVM:
Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Fate of Atlantis, Full Throttle, THe Dig

Ah, happy days. These young 'uns don't know what they're missing.

For those that aren't aware, Monkey Island 2 is now available for download on Xbox Arcade - updated with new art and voices as per the first one. Been playing the last couple of days.
