Oldschool Gamers - Does anyone here remember the Arcades?

You know, those games that were the first FPS games in the genre. I love olschool gaming when it comes down to these ones. I mean games like Doom, Quake, Wolfeinstein 3D, Duke Nukem and the like.

 

Am I the only one in here so is not obsessed about new videogames and constant evolving paranoia of better graphics, and really remembers the oldschool games that were so fun to play?

I love oldschool gaming.

 

My grandmother had the largest NES library ever. So I suppose you could say that I was classically trai- *shot*

 

*backs away with a smoking gun*

jk

 

In all seriousness, old school games are pretty great

'Specially the glitches

Oh, the fun I had with Metroid

F*** YOU NINJA GAIDEN. F*** YOU.

 

Did you ever beat it...?

 

It took me three months. D:

Yeah. I was stuck in Mexico for a month with my uncle, and he owned an American copy of the original arcade game. Go figure.

 

After about two and a half weeks of practice, beat it without taking a hit. OF COURSE THERE IS NO PROOF OF THIS BECAUSE IT'S AN ARCADE GAME. :(

Gah. I had it on the NES.

I had to take two week breaks while playing because the later levels almost destroyed my life.

 

I have a little box thing that has just a joy stick and button' date=' and av cords so that I can play Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig-Dug, all those old games on my tv.

 

I'm not sure what the technical term for it would be.

... Are you talking about the TV Games?

@Clair - The NES Ninjia Gaidens are hard as hell. Thank goodness they made a Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for the SNES that actually had a SAVE function! THANK YOU, GOD!

 

@Lazer Yoshi - The Spyro games were okay. They're going the course of Sonic right now, though - running outta good ideas.

 

BUBBLE BOBBLE FTW!

I think my favorite old school character is Geno. Though' date=' the very first old school character I played as was that red spot from the 7-Up bottle.

I used to own Spot for the NES - as well as Cool Spot for the SNES. Those were actually really good games. (I doubt it'll happen, but I'd like to see Cool Spot come out for the VC)
