Who misses old school games?:D

Wow! What a great topic. I must admit that I completely know what you mean. I'm not saying that they should get rid of role players or first person shooters, I just wish there were more alternatives. I mean, I can't tell you how much I used to love playing those old games like Kings Quest, Police Quest, Gold Rush, the Lucas Arts games, and the 7th Guest. I liked how you could take your time and explore. Also, I am not the best at shooting, jumping, and fighting, so I really appreciated games that let me think for myself a bit more and really follow the story. I used to love 4x4 as well. My sister and I used to play it together to see which one of us could bust the transmission on our car first. So much fun. The exciting thing about this is that I don't think we are the only ones who miss these kinds of games. There are two new Sam and Max games (being released in chapters by Game Tap, but you can also buy an entire season at once...once it is complete that is), and I believe there will be a fan made King's Quest game. Though not officially King's Quest, you can read about it here: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1517812/20050712/index.jhtml I reall hope that this is the start of a new trend. I miss those old games!

I miss the old original Nintendo games,and the old Sega Genisis games,even though I still have a couple of my Sega games,that I play on my Nomad,and I still have my Nintendo 64 and all the games for it,and I still try to play it whenever I get the chance,and my brother loves the old Final Fantasy games for the Playstation,and he currently owns all of them,since he can play them on his Playstation 2.

space quest was cool...we had an old zenith ez pc and I played that one...I thought it was cool that zztop was the band that played in the alien bar. I think games had a better sence of humor back then, they weren't so darn serious.

Well, I still have a bunch of old school games for my Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Genesis. I've got around 90 games for the original Nintendo, and a lot of those are a lot more challenging than the ones of today. I still like games of today, though. It's just that they're so pricey. :( Also, I have just about as many Super Nintendo games. Genesis-not so much. I've got Tetris on the original Nintendo and play it every now and then.

I don't miss them because I've still got them. I've been such a video game junkie that I've kept all of my systems and most of the games. It's fun to go back and play the old ones. Some of the newer games have so many different codes for different moves that it gets dizzying.

Has anybody ever used an emulator for their PC? I know they are not as good for the key board but I know you could program a game pad if you are really into it. There is an emulator for just about every console too N64, SNes, Genesis, etc. It also is one of the only ways to discover old games youve never gotten around to playing.

From time to time I play old videos games. depending on what I miss lol and yes I liked the lucas arts games... xwing,indiana jones, etc I still have the PC versions of FF7 and FF8 ;) If you want to play 0ld skul games you can get some of it here... www.abandonia.com

I really missed playing old school games. I'm kinda addicted to classic RPGs. My favorite one is Final Fantasy VII. Another one is Chrono Trigger of Super Nintendo. It's amazing how they created RPGs for 8bit console. I really missed playing the playstation console with my older brother, we usually play the sidescroll game Metal Slug.
