I just beat Super Mario RPG. I love that game.

On that same note, this is too awesome for the youtube thread

I remember when that song first came out a while ago.

My friends and I sang it all the time. ^_^

Pinball counts too

Postby Evil Jim » 17 May 2008, 04:45

Thumbs up to Alja for Fester's Quest & Tak for Vegas Dreams. Good taste there, fellas.

For me, Pin*Bot (1986.) I love the actual pinball table but since those are getting rare I've had to make do with the NES cart (1990) (also excellent) and more recently Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection (2008) which contains a photo-realistic playable recreation of the table. When I get started I can go for hours on any version.

Conkers Bad Fur Day and Megaman 64. I've been playing some old 64 games for the last few days. Even though GTA 4 sits there collecting dust. I have to admit though, I really did miss playing as Evo in Silicon Valley. Oddly enough I just thought of MST3K.

Final Fantasy Tactics is the only game I can reliably count on returning to even after years of time and a dozen or more play throughs. Simply the best.

I still play Super Metroid, just to keep my skills fresh. Because, you know, I could be challenged to a speedrun of that game at any moment. Or not.

I don't know if it is exactly an "old" game, but I have played and continue to play a lot of level-hacks for Super Mario World. There are quite a few good ones out there.

Golden Sun. It's not that I play it over and over. I just think about it all the time.

Ditto for LoZ: Windwaker. If I'm bored or having to do some tedious drudgery, I just do chores on Outset Island or imagine myself leveling up using Psyenergy. Yes, I know, O_o

Totally, dude. I keep thinking about the things I COULD have done in that game, and where I SHOULD have gone, and being like "Oh man I totally missed that thing I spotted earlier, and was like "OH I SHOULD GO BACK" but I never did.".

Stupid Golden Sun.

Same here, I lost my cd a few years ago, i had the original transport tycoon as well, which i think i still have the cd for.
I do have Locomotion, which does look a little better and I really enjoy. I always go back to playing it and building massive rail networks that somehow work well.

I don't really have any other games that i do that with.

Amen. Awesome, awesome game.

There was one thing in Golden Sun (or Golden Sun 2?) that I feel a little bad, but also a bit proud about. There was a little town that you would go to, and in the town was some sort of smith. You talk to a guy and he crafts you a weapon at random (out of a few different ones). The thing is, one of the weapons he can craft is the best weapon in the game for one of your characters. So what I ended up doing was saving before, then just restarting and talking to him, etc. until I got Excalibur. Not really genius, but I figured it out when I was like 10, so I'm proud of that. /Nostalgia

The Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale series was epic... I'd like to see them redone with modern effects.

Oh god, that bloody sword. Someone posted on gamefaqs a way of manipulating the game's second-by-second-based RNG system to guarantee that damn thing being crafted, but I never managed to ace it.

Golden Sun was beautiful, and I can't wait for Camelot to release whatever they're planning for the Wii.

Red Alert 2 was a fine game for its time... The best RTS ever, in my opinion. Nothing kicks more ass or takes more names than a Soviet tank rush.

Park on his neck and take it.
Its thoroughly enjoyable, and in some places, more infuriating than Darkcloud 1.
possibly because i have a habit of being impressivly thrifty with items, and usually end up killing myself, or forcing myself to clear a "srsly, use your Warmech because everythings resistent to everything else" level the hard way because i didnt heal.
