Post any "retro" game you are playing.
I've been playing Jurassic Park for the SNES a lot of Maze style back tracking for stuff it's not quite as great as i remembered.

How old is retro?

I almost always have a game of FFVII going. Being someone who's owned consoles since the Odyssey, I don't really consider anything since the advent of 3D graphics to be retro. Frogger, Asteroids, Space Invaders... They're retro.

Was thinking this myself when i made this topic. up to the poster i guess anything ps1 era and prior imo. Since they still sell ps2's last gen isn't quite retro.

I've been playing my Track and Field arcade a bit lately. Also quite a bit of Gyruss and Joust as well.

I've been out of the retro gaming lately, having picked up a lot of design jobs recently and having so little spare time (I'm also coaching both of my sons' little league teams! ). My best pick-up-and-play game is still Tetris, though. I mean I love just firing up the old PC and playing the classic NES emulator for a bit. I still have a game save of Zelda that I need to complete. I'm on the last underworld level and need to defeat Gannon. A close second for me is SFII on the SNES.

Oh come on, Final Fantasy X is totally retro, it's what now, 10 years old?

I don't know. 10 years isn't that old. I mean, it (FFX) was only the generation prior to the one we're in right now. I would hardly call that retro. Like I said above, I'm presonally drawing the retro line as being anything prior to the advent of 3D graphics... Basically anything before the 32-bit era.

I will never stop loving this under-appreciated NES gem.

Crisis Mountain on my Apple II emulator. I love this game now as much as I did back in the early 80's.

Breath of Fire IV for PS, now emulated via PS3 Store.
Thought I was getting BoF3, which I'd loved twelve years ago, but turns out I've....never played this one.

(Like a good game of FF7, a childhood spent playing old-school RPG's never leaves you. Even if FF 12+ drop the ball by evolving past the player's simple ability to play them, the old-schools will always be there for you.)

I was giving this a hard look just a few days ago.

How do you like it so far? I was a huge fan of BoF for the SNES, so I figured it would be fairly decent.

I ended up spending some PSN coin on Crystal Defenders instead. Tower defense game, which has been pretty fun so far.

(sigh) Had to retire my old Mac OS9 desktop versions of Doom II, after 10.5 made the old system extinct.
Used to play it for hours, just to plug in those fan game .WADs with Bullwinkle, Star Trek, MST3K and Holy Grail sound effects.
(Still got them somewhere, for anyone with a retro system.)

And you think you had it stuck in your head--Me, if I'm remembering walking around some place with confusing wandering corridors and get a sense of deja vu, I literally think for a moment, "Wait, am I remembering something from my dreams, or a Doom II level? "

BoF 3 & 4 for PS were basically disk-based extensions of the SNES games, with slightly better graphics and scenery (a "3D" 3/4 aerial view instead of overhead), longer story and more "animation" in the plot scenes.
3 had a more fun storyline to play, but you could move directly from SNES to BoF4, as if no years had passed.

Keith Courage in Alpha Zone

Awful, awful game.

Zelda OoT 3D

I've played through it a number of times, including the Master Quest, but not in the last 10 or so years. Its amazing how many little things I remember, and how many other things I'd completely forgotten about

Golden Axe on the Sega Mega Drive
Boy, still can't beat Death Bringer, though I managed to get trough the rest of the game on a single credit while Death Adder (the original boss of the arcade version it seems) has been even too easy to beat just by spamming the flying kick.

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Season (Gamboy Color, but I'm playing it on my Gamecube)
At the moment it seems to lack a bit of the charm of Oracle of Ages, but the links to the other game with the password are a nice touch (and using both my old GBC and my brother's to import the rings doesn't hurt either).
I read that this originally was to be a remake of the first Zelda game and it shows: the first dungeon is strangely similar and even some of the bosses, plus it seems less puzzle-heavy than Oracle of Ages and more hack and slash like the original Zelda.

"Maniac Mansion" on the Apple IIe computer ... classic game!

[Det. Bullock]

I finally beat Golden Axe for the Sega Mega Drive.

At the last life of the last credit of course, luckly you don't need to kill those two skeletons, Death Bringer is already difficult enough without having to deal with them.
