Downloadable Old School Games - Blu-ray Forum

fatediesel · 01-16-2009, 04:30 PM

Just wondering if anyone else is reliving their childhood through downloadable games, and what your opinions of the game are now.
I have a Wii, PS3, and 360, so I have downloaded quite a few games. I'm currently obsessed with Punch-Out. Despite having 3 systems and lots of games I only have been playing this game lately. One thing I find funny is how racist the game is. They make fun of the Japanese character (Piston Honda) with the conversation between rounds. They just throw a bunch of random Japanese words that are common to Americans. They also make the Russian (Sodapopinski) a drunk.
One game I was disappointed with was the original Tecmo Bowl. This was the first great football game in my opinion, but it's just sad now compared to current games. Choosing between 4 plays, and having the opponent try to guess the same play just doesn't compare to picking actual defenses.
I wish the Wii would release Goldeneye. If they did that I don't know if I'd ever play a current gen game again.
Anyone else have any thoughts on downloadable games?

I'm falling in love with Suikoden all over again

Was one of my first PS1 games, and I still find it awesome on PS3.

Pac-man is my favorite downloaded game as well as a few others but I'm too lazy to check them out right now.
