The I just played (Retro)

[Snakey]

I'm assuming many people on here boot up their N64s, Mega Drives or ZX81s now and again. So I thought I'd start a thread where people can leave their views on the latest Retro game they've played.


Whether it be Goldeneye or Jet Set Willy, has it lived up to the memory or is it something you blast out often?


Anyway, just had crack of Mario Kart (Snes). The first thing I realised is that the jump to Mario Kart 64 is huge! Yet the gameplay of the original is still highly playable if graphically dated.
Just listening to the soundtrack the memories come flooding back, what an awesome game it was, simple, yet incredible! Played it for a few hours, good laugh. One that hasn't died its death (IMO) :approve:


Sonic 2 next...

Got the Sega Saturn out the loft a few months ago. Got some awesome little games for it.

Bubble bobble, crypt killer, street fighter. Loads more but I can't remember the names. Got a police shooting one as well with the massive blue f#ck off hand gun.

At what age can a console be classed as 'Retro'?

That geezer on the bottom was mental, he was lapping the computer before the end of the second lap!

Don't really fire up many classics these days apart from Mario 64 and Smash Tennis on the SNES. Still absolutely love Motocross Madness 2 on the PC though.

The duel : test drive 2 on mega drive, absolutely amazing game!

All of the old PGA golf games on megadrive, with the swing meter along the bottom rather than arcing round the player...

That game single-handedly triggered my obsession with the Porsche 959. I hardly ever picked the F40 on that!
