Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

On PS3, I've been playing the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection; basically the older games but in remastered HD. I like Snake Eater the best.
On Wii, I have GoldenEye, but have not played it much. I'm looking to purchase the new Zelda and Punch Out; unfortunately, the career has gotten in the way of my gaming lately.

I played "LION" the other day again, that game is cool. It is as hard to hunt and catch prey as it must be for a
real lion. What I need to find a way to make work is Crusader: No Remorse, but I need to access areas of my brain
that I haven't used in over ten years, in order to make a boot disc that will work. I can't just pop it in and play it.
I used to be able to work MSDOS with no trouble, navigating directories, typing in commands, making boot discs.
Now, pfft. Forget it. I also need to break out Nascar Racing. Wow, what a game that was. As was Falcon 4.0 (F-16 sim)
I would spend entire weekends just trying to master landing without crashing. Not easy at all. I also would spend
equal amount's of time with F-14 Tomcat II trying to land it on a carrier. I am just not good at adding power and
taking away power to maintain that glide path.

Anyone have the Mortal Kombat collection from PSN or XboxLive? Been debating on getting it. It's only $10 but I hear it's the arcade versions which are pretty hard.

Been playing DOOM on my real crappy XP laptop as it refuses to work for love nor threats of deleting win32 on my windows 7 pc

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

I play Minecraft on occasion, although not retro it kinda has that feel to it.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

That was an awesome game at the time, I loved the top down perspective. Between that & Doom, it was probably the game that helped get my son (23) hooked on PC gaming. I'm not sure how it was programmed, but you can't get that thing to run on any other OS, at least I haven't been able to. :sh

Another retro-game I would love to get to work is the original X-com. I can't tell you how many hours I played on that when it came out. Man, that was almost 20 years ago, holy crap.

I just revisited Diablo and Diablo 2 for shits and gigs, it was decent but not nearly as great as I remember lol. Can't wait for D3 to hit the shelves!

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

My goto retro games are The Castlevania and Final Fantasy Series. I can play those til the world ends.

Played Streets of Rage 2 yesterday with my 5yr old son. We beat it in about 20 minutes on easy mode.

Did you ever build your own MAME arcade? That would be awesome!

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

Loved Contra III. Stage 4 was where it started to get hard for me.

I gotta find some of my old consoles and get them running again.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

You were good to make it to level 4, Hootie. Did you ever beat it?
The only Contra games I've finished were Contra (with the code) and Contra: Rebirth.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

I came close to beating it without codes but I have only mastered it with the game genie.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

I'm going to be doing some oooooooold school gaming in a week. Heading back home and my friend has a basement set up with a bunch off old arcade stand ups including a working Aferburner with the moving booth :noon

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 

The Game Genie, one of the greatest innovations of the 80s.:tu

EDIT: You gotta change the avatar, Hootie. I thought I was reponding to Tom's post. I thought it was a bit weird that he was talking about Contra and the Game Genie.:)
