Any Old-School gamers here?

I like a few shooters, while others stress me out.

www.blackstarproductions.net/bsp_images/halo2_screen3.jpg nobody mind this link. I just need to get it on my other computer. Those shooter games are fun. i like the ssi fi planes.

I like all old-school genres, except sports to some extent.

I tend to gravitate towards RPG and Strategy games, but on some phases I'll branch out towards adventure, side-scroller, or FPS.

Master Chief has nothing on Duke Nukem ^__^.

But you oughtta see me when I go on an Old vs. New rant.

"What? What's this Halo junk? You can only have two weapons at a time? What rubbish is this? In Heretic and Duke Nukem 3D, you could have EIGHT weapons at a time, and you had INVENTORY ITEMS too! Man, today's games are SUCH a step backwards!"

They are focusing more on combat reality. And in multiplayer that would be too cheap.

My example was semi-joking.

But as for it being "too cheap," what part, being able to carry a total of eight weapons or having inventory items? Personally I didn't feel either hurt the games really, in fact some of them were really, really fun.

In Heretic, there was a magical egg which you could use to turn enemies into chickens. You can just imagine the reaction to that! ^__^

Duke 3D had an item called the Holoduke, which allowed players to put up a holographic version of themselves, to lure players into traps and catch them off guard. Again you can imagine how that went ^__^ "Ahh, found him... WHAT? Why aren't my rockets working? OMG HE'S A HOLOGRAM!"

And finally... both Heretic AND Duke 3D had an item that allowed the player to fly ^__^ (for a limited amount of time, but still).

Well Halo is getting kind of old. Almost old enough to be an old school game except for its release date. Right now i am playing star wars battlefront. Anybody play rogue squadron for n64?

And that it's a game for a current-generation console...

Dunno about Rogue Squadron, but I played Shadows of the Empire ^__^.

I recently downloaded (yes, I know that's illegeal) Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Master System. I used to play it all the time at after-school care. As well as Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Donald Duck: The Lucky Dime Caper.

I remember most people couldn't get past the third zone, and I can see why. Robotnik is hard in the jungle. I also remember that it was beaten exactly once when I was there. I loved the credits music. I beat it today and I still love the credits music. Wow.

The music for the Bridge Zone is also cool.

Shwoo gets points for even bringing up something as obscure as the Sega Master System. ^^

And yea, the MS Sonics were hard.... but you oughtta see how the difficulty got punched up when they were ported to the Game Gear. Smaller screen = bigger problems.

BTW, if you have a Gamecube, I hear all the Master System Sonic games are included on Sonic Adventure 2.

Apparently it did a lot better over here than it did in the States, apparently. I had to look up exactly what it was called on the internet.

The first few zones were pretty easy, but the Sky Base zone was really hard.

I have a Gamecube, and I didn't know that the Master System Sonics are in Sonic Adventure 2. I'll need to get that game now.

[numbuheightbitstar]

Personally I kinda preferred the Sega Genesis Sonics. Why? Cuz they easier ^__^.

Did you ever own a Sega CD?

No, but in Sonic Adventure DX they have unlockable Game Gear games, which are basically the same as the MS ones only with small screens.

A what? I don't know that much about Sega, only that I used to play one at after school care. And I watched some Sonic cartoon or other.

(Yea, there were only two Sonic cartoons to choose from. Now we've got four)

The Sega CD was a device that could be connected to the Sega Genesis, allowing it to play Cd-based games. There was a Sonic game released exclusively for this system called Sonic CD which is often considered the best game in this series (I hear they're finally re-releasing it for either the Gamecube or the PS2, BTW).

I'm an Old-School gamer. I still own a SNES and a 3DO. The First games I ever played were Doom and Wolfenstein. In fact I still own Wolfenstein for my PC and my 3DO.
