I don't have a problem with them at all, but it's just not quite the same as having the real thing in your hands. I think having a MAME arcade machine would be pretty cool.

Spent about an hour seeing how far I could get in Gradius on the NES last night. That's a hard game!

Been playing NES with my six year old lately.

Lots of Mega Man, gradius, blades of steel, double dragon, tmnt2, ninja gaiden, and breakthru. Oh, and gotcha!

Also, anything retro on the Wii Virtual Console or PS3, XBox 360, or PC too.
I've been playing Punch-Out, Tecmo Bowl, Contra, Castlevania, Earthbound, and TMNT: The Arcade Game of late.

Anybody else into retro gaming?

Retro gaming? To me that means the hexagonal square boards for war games made by companies like Avalon Hill. And role-playing games done with books character sheets, and the imaginations of a bunch of guys sitting around the room. Games like DND, Champions, Marel Super Heroes, etc...

I hooked up the 64 last night in my bedroom. I now have the NES, SNES, and 64 all hooked up side by side. My six year old and I played some WCW Revenge, Mario Kart 64, and Rampage World Tour. After that, we played some Pro Wrestling on the NES.

If anyone here has any old NES, SNES, or N64 games that they would like to get rid of, shoot me a PM. I've been collecting some again lately and am up to 81 NES games.

If there are any other retro collectors here, check out The Game Chasers on Youtube. The show is like a ripoff of American Pickers, except it's all video game related and not staged.

I've never played Jungle Strike. Any good?

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 
Always loved all those strike games. Desert, Jungle, Urban.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 
So it's a precursor to Desert Strike. Didn't know that. Desert Strike on the Genesis was fun.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 
I have a few NES games that are tucked away someplace. Haven't had that system hooked up in quite some time. It was my late sisters system and I hold on to it for purely sentimental reasons.

I am, however, in search of Wii games. Can't seem to find any good selection of those for the original system since they came out with the Wii-U. Does anyone have any original Wii games that they would like to part with?

I've been playing a lot of Super Street Fighter from SNES, just beat 7th Saga, and am playing SNES Zelda and Secret of Mana right now. Love the old rpg's.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 
Those were some of my favorite SNES games Ray!

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 
I pulled out Super Mario All stars last today. Mario 1-3 still rule. I have nothing but emulators now, what I wouldn't give for my power glove back!

There's an awesome game in the app store called the Organ Trail. It's basically the Oregon Trail game set in a post-apocalyptical zombie outbreak. Similar old school Oregon Trail graphics included. Fun game for only a dollar or two.

I've been playing The Pinball Arcade on my ipad for a few months. I have all the boards except season 3. I kind of stick to a few that I really like.

I have been working on Baldur's Gate for the PC...played this years ago. It was re-released last year with updates and made avalable for the ipad and android.

Hands down one of the best RPGs there is no button smash, kill, loot, repeat in this game.

I've got a horrifying addiction to both C&C Generals: Zero Hour and Dungeon Keeper 2. I've usually got an hour or two each week into one or both of them.

Re: Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?
 
Anyone still playing retro games here? I finally have my NES collection to above the 100 mark. 102 NES games and counting. I've been playing Tiger-Heli a lot lately.
