What are your fondest memories from the retro consoles?
I remember the first game I ever got was Power Soccer for the PS1 and I loved it, I also remember my Gameboy Color with great fondness, so what were your favourite retro consoles/fondest memories of retro consoles?

Playing Digimon World 2 on the PS1 with my brothers. That game was awesome. So awesome in fact that last year we borrowed our old roommates PS1 and drove to another state looking for a EB games that still sold PS1 games. We finally found one and played the game all Summer :)

This is like being asked to pick your favorite Child. Off the top of my head...

Player Manager, Championship Manager and SWOS on the Amiga. Played these for hours during Holidays/Weekends with my best mate.

Getting my SNES, as it was my first console.

Playing Mario Kart with my Bro.

First time playing KOTOR.

8 Player Halo games between mine and my mates flat across the hall.

Playing Digimon World 2 on the PS1 with my brothers. That game was awesome. So awesome in fact that last year we borrowed our old roommates PS1 and drove to another state looking for a EB games that still sold PS1 games. We finally found one and played the game all Summer :)

I liked DMW1 more. played that s**t a lot.

playing the first paper mario.

that was a great game.:)

Sonic 2 on the Geniess/Megadrive.awsome.

Same Here, Dmatix. I got a Genesis fo my 6th B-day along with a packed in copy of Sonic 2, and never looked back. My mom even made me a Sonic cake for that same birthday.

Which is why Sega's actions of late make me cry myself to sleep at night sometimes.

yeah,never played a sonic game again after 3D.
never trust a game with 3D in the title.

The ending of Super Metroid was epic.
And then there's Ocarina of Time...
And every Zelda game since then

Me and my friend always performing great tasks on the old Pokemons while on the toilet.
Many as time have I heard "YES! I CAUGHT IT" echoing through the walls...

Sorry...

And beating Ocarina of Time for the first time.

using the running pad for the NES track and field. my friend would cheat and get down on his knees and bang the circles with his fists... :(

Playing Ocarina of Time with my family and solving the puzzles together. And watching my big sister play Silent Hill whilst i was i hid behind a pillow, terrified.

1. Getting Pong at Christmas.

2. Coming home every day from elementary school and my mom has just CRUSHED my top score on the Atari Pac Man.

3. Playing Hockey on the Genesis when I was supposed to be working - ah, long, boring nights at the Shell Station.

I got my first video game for my 6th(?) Christmas. A Gameboy Pocket...and my parents had been trying so desperately to keep me away from video games! An unknowing Grandpa gave it to me...

Playing Quake 3 arena with my brother for hours after school.

my most favorite old game was Zombies ate my neighbours.

others were pokemon,mario games,and wario woods.

I liked DMW1 more. played that s**t a lot.

I never played the first one. Was it like the second? I played the 3rd and 4th one but didn't like them as much. I wanna play the DS one. I really wish they would make a digimon game just like the Pokémon rpgs.

-Final Fantasy 7
-Playing RE:1 all night and beating it in one sitting (as the sun rose)
-Finding out that Mario 3 wasn't just an urban legend.
-My father buying me "Bayou Billy" for my 8th birthday (lmao).
-Smoking pot and playing 206% of Castlevania:SOTN with a friend.

I could go on forever.

The day I got a Super Nintendo. I was 5, it was Christmas. The game I got for it was Super Mario World.

Playing Ocarina of Time with my family and solving the puzzles together. And watching my big sister play Silent Hill whilst i was i hid behind a pillow, terrified.

silent hill = scariest game ever

could never find the courge to play it,even reading about it made my uncomfredable.

when that game came out, it scared me so bad... no other game has even come close.

Playing Jet Moto on the PS1 with my dad and brother. Hell, we still joke about how horrible my dad was at it :D

A few games sparked up my old PS1. Digimon world 1 was like crack. As was Mega Man X.

ToeJam & Earl for Sega. That game brings back all kinds of good memories.
NinjaTurtles also brings back some good memories on SNS. =)

Earthworm Jim.
Except 3D.

Played that game till it didn't work anymore.
Then I emulated it.

the original sonic the hedgehog And Earthworm Jim (sega genesis)
and of course Goldeneye (N64)

hmm.. Super Mario RPG on the SNES. I beat this game like 20 times at least!!

Also Metal Gear Solid 2, Killer Instinct for the SNES (I WANT A NEW KILLER INSTINCT GAME DAMNIT), and Ocarina of Time...

Good ol' days ^_^

When Kefka actually succeeded and brought about an apocalypse in FFIII/FVII ... I remember being 12, telling my friend I couldn't come over to his house because I had to save the world, and then being like WTF!?!

God of War. :rolleyes: i remember so much...especially when i stabbed the cyclops in the eye. I remember freaking out a bit...i wasn't prepared for that. *sigh*

Paper Mario for the N64, good times there.

Mine has to be going over to my friends house and sitting next to each other with our Gameboy Colors and playing Pokemon Blue all night long.

When I was about five or six my parents bought a NES and as a family we would take turns playing Excitebike. The build your own track option blew my young unformed mind. Damn, that was still in the 1980s too... I need a drink.

The day my parents decided to let me play the "occult-saturated" pokemon game boy games...

...now I make sure that they are MUCH more informed.

I must say when i think of my favorite games when i was younger, i immediately think of Pokemon: Blue for the Game Boy Color. It's the game that got me INTO gaming.

I got a Gameboy Color and Pokemon blue for my 8th birthday. I think i played it nonstop for about 2 years lol. I beat it farther than anyone I've met without using Red or Yellow for trading. Got to the point where once i started a game and beat the elite four in one day....no joke. I had a guide book to tell me all it's secrets. I used that stupid little glitch where you could get unlimited items ALL the time, but I also got a Charizard to level 100 completely by training it at the elite four.

They game as well as Final Fantasy 10 are my most played games in my collection. I haven't touched pokemon in 2 years, and I beat FFX so badly I don't even care anymore. So I'm really kinda hooked on GH3 and Kingdom Heart 2 right now. I've completely beaten KH2 though. So it's dieing for me too. Still a fun game.

GH3 is just addicting XD

Playing big rigs over the road racing that game is great. BEST GAME EVER.

-Playing pokemon not understanding the concept of the tasks and just running in the grass parts,GBC
-Me and a friend watching my dad set up the ps1, screaming what games we wanted to play first
-The day the ps3 came in the post;')
XD

I will say Star wars battlefront, 1 & 2, plus Halo.

Playing big rigs over the road racing that game is great. BEST GAME EVER.
Never mention that thing (I do not consider it a game) again. Ever.

Since my first console was the PS1 I have memories of playing Crash Bandicoot (boy do those suck now). I also remember the demo disc that came with the PS1 as well as the first 2-3 tekens

sonic 2 was always fun on the old sega

Starfox 64 the game that made video games for me :) ah the good old days

I remember the first game I ever got was Power Soccer for the PS1

God damn, I feel old. :lol:

Just keeping the PS2 on all day and doing a run through of Spyro and Crash Bandicoot 2 stick out the most...we had to keep the PS2 on because we had no way of saving it, thus making us have to start from the beginning. I miss those days...

Mario 64, Pokemon Silver (I could so own you guys, I was such a grinder I had a level 27 before I even got to the first gem leader because I would just keep running around in the grass lmao), Sonic 3D Blast ... SEGA SATURN FTW!

Fondest memory?

Beating Contra 3 consecutive times without the Konami cheat.
(i have never played it since)

i remember always playing medal of honor rising sun with all of my friends. ah good memories

fond memories are of Sonic 1 & 2 on the mega drive. The first time playing games ever got me anything. Made it to the national championship where i then lost & got some promo stuff & a shirt saying "Sonic the hedgehog Finalist"

My brother and I used to play this one game on the SNES with my dad(can't remember what it was called). It was a two player space game. You had a ship and would blow up asteroids and collect the bombs. However, there were these ships that would fly around and collect the bombs too. They would then proceed to take the bombs and deposit them into the mouth of this weird face in the middle of frickin nowhere. Then, it would come alive and try and eat you. The bombs you collected earlier were used to blow him up. It was awesome. The only game my dad would play with us on a regular basis. Ah, good times... Then my damn SNES broke. My brother and I cried.
