I'm addicted to the nes game "Pirates".

Is it anything like uncharted waters?

i've never played either but i luv ol skewl gaming. everyone plays all these *civilization game* an all tha other stuff. i mean i've no problem with civilization. but give me a NES an bout 5 games an i'm set. my ol NES don't work tho so i use an emulator. an here's a few of my favorites: Circus Capers, Punch-Out, Rambo<hard, and i'm a die hard gamer too.. so..>, Silent Service...the list goes on.. i just thought of these of my head.. anyway NES is not dead! There are still ~ol skewl gamers~

Ha I told you it was a great game!!!!

Man, I remember the games I used to play on my first computer, the ZX spectrum.. (mine was the model with the built in tape drive)..

We must have had hundreds of games for it (back in the days when games were $5 a piece (or UK equivalent)

I remember one I was always intruiged by, but could never work out quite how to play, called "Hacker"....

Weirdest game ever.

Some old style games are way beyond newer ones, because the gameplay was the most important thing, not so much the graphics or sound etc...

JET SET WILLY!!!!!!!!!!!.. man that was the best and stupidest game ever

You had to go around a huge ass house and clear up mess from a party.. awesome..

I wish I could D/L Kings Quest IV from someplace, peril's of rosella, is it possible for a site to have these copyrighted games available for D/L?

i have kings quest VII if anyone one wants it. its king's quest: the princeless bride.

ill mail it to ya. but you gotza pay the shipping.

Anyone still lay the REAL old school machines?

I get super kicks from playing ATari, ColecoVison, IntelliVision & so on. I swear to god, goto a few gargesales, and with 20 bucks, you 'll have at least 6 different consoles and over 300 games.

-DS. Dig Dug on the Atari 2600 Bets Game EVER

Yeah, sometimes i still fart around on my IBM 8088. I play black cauldron, and shit like that... It has all the games like burgermaker, donkey kong, dig dug, etc... In my post in this same forum, i am offering to give these away to any one with a big floppy drive...

river raid was the shit game.

Bar Room Hero my respect for you has gone infinitely skyward. River Raid was one of the games that originally got me into gaming. Other big milestones for me were, kung-fu (nes), Dragon Warrior (nes), U.N. Squadron, (snes), Secret of Mana (snes)and Ogre Battle (snes). After I bought a 64 I started to lose interest in games. (I finally became one of those back in the day people.) Although I love all the X-Coms. Oh and Doom and Doom II I devoted a big portion of one summer of my life playing that. Still if you look at my list it's completely old school. I'll give credit to three sweet 64 games Mario, Golden Eye and Zelda, most everything else was done first and or better on another system. Playstation, I never really got into it, I wish I had but then I'd be an even bigger dork.

p.s. the 16-bit snes is now for the most part oldschool in my opinion seeing as how all the thirty-two bit systems are now considered obsolete. 16 bit, ahh... the golden age of gaming.

p.p.s. I love centipede for my Atari 7800!

p.p.p.s. On inspection of this post I realize how much time I've wasted on video games. Scary!

You can find emulators for most those systems and tons of Games out there on the net. I'm a big fan of the old Conan for the Apple II. My grandfather has an Apple II so I play it when The Fam gets together at his place on holidays.

as far as newer old school gaming goes, i think that Space Harrier was pretty fucking cool too... i miss that game...
