Your favorite old school games

First game played on a console- Mario

First game ever - Tetris

First game finished - Tie between Resident Evil and FF7. I can't remember which I finished first.

Old favs: Legend of mana (definitely!), Suikoden II, Resident evil (1,2 &3), FF7, FF Tactics, Xenogears (amazing game & story line), Azure Dreams, Lunar the silver star story (I'm getting the PSP new realeased Lunar the Silver Star Harmony, can't wait for it to arrive!), Monster Rancher II & IV, Harvest Moon, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly and Dino Crisis.

Ooo, Azure Dreams! I love that game! :3 And I personally love Harvest Moon: Mineral Town & the girl version HM: More Friends of Mineral Town.

My list isn't exactly old-school but they are past their time:

Pokemon Red/Blue. Nuff said.

Not sure why, but NFL Street 2. There was so much customization and RPG-like elements to that game, plus it was downright fun to play.

Phantasy Star Online. I never got online but my friends and I built a whole fanfic based on how our characters progressed and how we explored and discovered new parts to the game (we leveled up very slow).

Fire Emblem. Best soundtrack I've ever listened to and one of my first ever RPGs.

Fire Emblem! OMG how could I forget that? The only strat based game on the game boy that I ever liked!

Oooo, speaking of strategy games, here's one that I really liked:



Gemfire for the SNES.

Downloaded MAME this weekend (which is an arcade emulator)

It really brings back the memories from Dodonpachi, Afterburner and Marvel VS. CAPCOM...

Here's three old school games that are dear ro my heart:



Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of Lions (Playstation 1)



Street Fighter 1. Everybody knows about SF2 & beyond, but this game was really hard to play & won me lots of bets at the arcade!



Pool of Radience (Comodore 64). This RPG was 'state of the art' when it came out & loads of fun if you like dungeon crawling & puttin' the smack down on some kobolds & goblins.

Virtual On, Vantage Master Online and Cho Ren Sha 68k are my holy trinity.

It's a tough game. So tough that they re-released it with an optional AI that makes occasional mistakes, as opposed to the standard AI which never makes mistakes... Also, that Savage's ranged attack rapes.
