I just wanted to drop these on random people, WHOEVER - doesn't matter if you're a geek or not: www.abandonia.com .

I'm a big fan of some of the adventure games they have on there, so if any of you want to check them out, I'll be glad.

Oh, and I'm not affiliated with the site in any way.

so upset my old nintendo didn't wanna work

it's funny cuz many awesome (and still totally fresh) games of the 90s are already labelled as "old"/ "classic"

other than those 90s games (the usual suspects: Super Mario World, Street Fighter II, Resident Evil trilogy, Doom 1 and 2, Quake trilogy, Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Tomb Raider, etc) NO, I'm not a big fan of pre-90s classic games

many "classic" 80s games are hopelessly unplayable today, boring, ugly, not intuitive at all or dated in every way, or just plain repetitive (mostly 2D platform scrolling, or the beat-em-up shit)

Just sold my Sega Game Gear, Mega-CD, and a bunch of old games. Going to sell Nintendo Game & Watch handhelds soon. I love all this retro shit. I want to clear space and have some pocket money though.

Not quite old-school yet, but I get emotional about Final Fantasy VII and VIII. I dunno, those were just amazing to me and I really got caught up in them. The graphics during cut scenes seemed ahead of its time, just unreal, to me. I've played VII on PC through to completion with my wife twice during the 00s and probably will again in the future.

I hae one of those old time atari's hooked up in the living room, its more a conversation piece but it is fully functioning. Donkey King is the bomb on it.

NES and SNES. I still have SNES and the games scattered somewhere in my room, the Mario ones. I keep saying I'll buy super mario all stars for my Nintendo DS, but keep forgetting

My old NES still works,played it this Summer.some games I played

Metroid

Zelda I and II

Double Dragon 2

Mike Tysons Punchout

Tecmo Bowl

Bunch of mega mans

Super mario bros 1 2 3 and lost levels

ninja turtles

castlevania

baseball simulator 1000

Duck Hunt and lazer guns weren't working

My NES works every once in a while. I still have:

Tecmo Super Bowl (one of the greatest video games ever made)

The Legend of Kage (one of the most underrated video games ever)

Tecmo World Wrestling

Nintendo Ice Hockey

I like a lot of 8 bit videogames: Pacman, Mrs. Pacman, Asteroids, centepede, Galaga, etc.

But my favorite game is considered old now, and stupid ass Mac OS-X Lion (and after) can't run it anymore: Age of Mythology. But is by far my favorite game ever.

my favorite old games consists of:

Super Mario World(On THe Super Nintendo)

Pokemon Red And Blue.

The First Zelda Game on Super Nintendo.

Street Fighter.

Tron

Samurai Shodown

Once in a while I'll hook up my old ColecoVision or Atari 7800/2600 and rock the classics. Of course the graphics are crude compared to today, but the gameplay is solid. Zaxxon, Defender, Donkey Kong, Joust, Burgertime, Missle Command, Demon Attack, Turbo, Centipede, River Raid, Robotron, Berzerk, Pitfall, etc., etc. Good times!

Tecmo Bowl

Welcome to getting old. The stuff you grew up in the 90's are now viewed as boring, lame, out of date to the young kids of today.

the difference is that I like 00s and post-00s videogames just as much as the 90s games

Well..the majority of todays gaming is mostly 3rd person shooters. That's pretty boring, and lame

so?

in the 80s, the majority of gaming was mostly 2D platform shooters/jumping. That was pretty boring and lame

I stick to my guns. best era of videogames: 94-03 by far, especially 96-2000 (in terms of gameplay, variety, graphic revolution, etc)

only the graphics have improved since then

It took me months to beat Mike Tysons punchout(NES) when I was a kid.

I beat the game this summer blindfolded.

I understand that but 12 year olds view the stuff you liked as a kid as old/classic

Once again I'm only talking about how kids of today view things that are 20+ years old. They may even like it but still consider it old or classic.

It is what it is. When they get older the children of 2030 will also view the video games of today as old/classic.

That's funny in the 90's we thought video games of today would all be virtual reality games.
