What are some of your favorite video games for older consoles? Consoles like NES, SNES, Genesis... I admit, I'm a sucker for the old SNES RPGs. Lufia, Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy III, Ogre Battle, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana.

You would really get along with my husband. He loves these types of games also. Anyway, my favorite (old school) game would have to be the Super Mario Games. They were a lot of fun to play.

I really do think the older games are the best. They graphics may not be great, but the plots were awesome. :D Not so much anymore... The Mario games were great. And they still are, even after all this time!

Yes! I love old video games! One of my favorites is the ROM I have for the MAME. It is the 1982 Sega Star Trek. Lots of fun. Doesn't last real long but it is fun!

I should have said 'a ROM' as I have over two thousand ROMs in the MAME.

ROMs are the best things ever. *glances at own collection* I actually never had a sega system.

The SEGA I am talking about was a Stand up or sit down COIN OPERATED ARCADE not a home machine. Maybe I can find a picture. Check out this link! http://www.ggdb.com/GameByName.aspx?vid=2786

Pong. My brother and I used to play it all the time at Zellers while Mom shopped. Then my brother bought the game console for $40 (WOW). It was just the one game; couldn't add anything else to it.

Oh man, I love old arcade games! Haven't played any in ages, though. That's awesome. I've actually got an Odessey system somewhere in my garage, and supposedly it still works. We're going way back!

I'm with you Misskatonic, just add Final Fantasy II, Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past, Breath of Fire II, and Secret of Evermore to your list and you have mine. Some of the old NES games were pretty fun too, Dragon Warrior, Zelda I and II, Final Fantasy, course then there were games like Paperboy, Excitebike, Bayou Billy, and the Castlevanias that kept me entertained for hours on end (and still do :P)Thanks for the discussion, I love waves of nostalgia!!

Fusion Frenzy - One of my favorite challenges in Fusion Frenzy.
Some of my favorite games are mostly from NES! Contra, Mario, and Castlevania. We have an Xbox that my son and hubby play on, but I find the games too hard/involved. Too many buttons! I do enjoy playing the Simms on it though. Oh, and Fusion Frenzy!

Gah, how could I forget Castlevania? I loved that game! I've played the others in the series, but the SNES was my favorite!

Besides from all the old-school Mario games on Nintendo, my all-time favorite game was an Atari (maybe Midway?) arcade game called S.T.U.N. Runner. It was was programmed using Polygons instead of regular 2D graphics of the day and it felt fast as hell. After all these years I finally have it! PS2 put it out along with a couple other old arcade games so I can play it whenever I want! w00t!

Oh and this one isn't that old, but I loved Earthworm Jim. I think it was on Sega. That worm was hilarious!

Of course, all the classic Mario and Zelda games are up there. Also, Contra for the NES, and the older Final Fantasy games too!

I have to say my favorite is the good ol' Super Mario Bros. for NES. Can't beat it, in my opinion. Second best, has to be Tetris. As for arcade games, gotta love Arkanoid and Galactica. Awesome. :)

My very first game console was an Atari. We had Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Frogger, Galaga and a heap of other games. Then I moved on up to the Sega. Sonic and Wonderboy were my favourites of that time. Now I have a GameCube and GameBoy Advance. I have to admit I'm a bit of a Nintendo girl!
