I used to play this game with the neighborhood girls called, "You show me yours and I'll show you mine."

Aaaaahhhhhhh but did you get caught in your Grandfathers greenhouse by your Grandfather like I did lol.

With all the classics mentioned above how is it that no one mentioned -

Metroid!

My favorite classic game is Metal Gear Solid for PS1. It's the first game I beat over and over and over and over again. I have 2 copies at my house, one came in the Essentials Pack which I bought for the rare MGS2 Substance and the other is a Jap import of MGS Integral. Took me over a decade to track down Integral but it was worth it!

The old school game I have the biggest love/hate relationship: TMNT 1 how is that game a freaking kids game?? I make it out of the underwater level with 1 turtle left and then get my *** handed to me right after. I still can't beat this game some 20 years later it's sad.

All time favorite: Zelda series.

You and me both. Absolutely love every game in the Zelda series. I still haven't beaten part 2 on NES. That game is seriously my kryptonite.

I played Earthbound as well Cedar. I still own it, as well as all the other RPGs of the era. I have Final Fantasy II and III, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Secret of Evermore, Secret of Mana, Lufia, Legend of Gaia, etc. I still go back and play them every few months if I have some downtime. Good times...

I haven't played that game since I was 8 or 9 years old. I'm going to go hit up a few retro video game stores and look for it...

Doh.. after I double checked, it's Blaster Master, not the other way around.

PC - Ultima Online (MMO), Red Alerts when they first came on the scene and the original Medal of Honor was really fun from what I remember.

Consoles - Twisted Metal (not sure if that really counts) - PS, Super Sprint - NES, Contra - SNES. There really is just too many. I didn't get into many RPGs untill later on.

I really enjoyed going to the Arcade and stuff and playing games like TMNT, Simpsons, XMEN. Good ****. There is a sports bar near me that still has the oldschool TMNT. A few pitchers and TMNT with 3 friends - good times.

Look at it like this, when NES was 10+ years old it was old school, and still is. PSX (PS1 whatever you call it) is definitely old school by 2011.
