Do You Love Old Skool and Classic Video Games?

Yes, I do love classic video games like Mario Brothers, Contra amongs others. The reason I love them is that they are not that complicated compared to the newly released video games nowadays.

funny you should mention this i am addicted to playing sonic the hedgehog, its probably my all time favorite video game.
i remember playing it on my sega megadrive as a kid and when that broke i was lost, i now have it on a disk with my ps2.
i used to be able to complete it all the time, but getting older has made me a little slower in my reactions, i can hardly get to the fourth level.
i think i love it some much because it is a great game and it reminds me of my childhood.
great times. lol.;)

How's this for old skool- I am in the middle of playing Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy II, and Star Ocean. Diablo, Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, and Final Fantasy Tactics are among my favorites. Some of the games I really like are Wild Arms, Rainbow Islands, Q-Bert, and Zelda. I would also have to add that I would sit and play Mario or Centipede any day. Remember the old style table-top Centipede?? That was the best. I got a Nintendo when I was 13, and I seemed to forget all about the arcade. It all came rushing back when I bought one of those 'collection' games for my PS2. Old style Asteroids and Centipede. It's great. My kids(14, 11, & 9) don't get what's so great about them. They think the graphics are terrible, and what's so great about a black screen with a pencil drawn triangle ship in the middle of the screen that shoots at odd shaped asteroids flying by while trying to avoid getting hit by them?? Kids just aren't as smart as they think they are. If it wasn't for those 'crappy-graphic' games, they wouldn't have the graphics they have today.

HURRRAAAAY for the old skool!!!!

Yes I do love the classic video games don't get me wrong I do play the video games of today but my husband and I have a snes as well and we buy the snes games on amazon.com. We like to go back to the snes games to play them and we don't mind feeling old because they are from our generation its a good break from today's video games.
You would say that my husband and I are geeks when it comes to video games.

There is actually an adaptor for the Gamecube that you can play Gameboy Advance games on it. It is pretty cool.
I had Super Mario Bros. 3 and Dr. Mario for my Gameboy. I don't like all the new videogames with the crazy real graphics. My husband sure does though! My favorite games are puzzle-like games though; Tetris, Zuma and Luxor are my favorites.

Hi, thanks for the info on the website. A dear friend of mine received a free-standing pinball type machine from her hubby for Christmas, and I must admit I've been over her house more than usual just so I can play Ms. Pacman, Space Invaders, Burger Time, Donkey Kong, etc. My kids absolutely love playing these games and the simplicity involved. They are actually fun, without the gore and violence that many of today's games contain. I'm going to check out the site right after I'm done here!

I will have to check it out. I consider myself more of an old school gamer than a new school gamer. For the longest time I've had my NES and used it for almost 20 years and it still runs. Tells how something doesn't it. I've got a variety of games, I even got some dating back to the Atari 2600 days. Of course, that was given to me by my grandparents when I was younger and it worked. It don't work now though, which sucks.

No way...GALAGA!?! OMG, I LOVE Galaga! I haven't played it in ages! I wish it was available for playstation 3 (my husband and I bought it for Christmas), but I looked online and I didn't see it available. Unfortunately I can't play these online games as I'm on dial up.:( I sure would like to play Donkey Kong Jr. My sister used to have it on her ColecoVision along with Mouse Trap, Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, and a few others. I miss playing these old games. They sure were a lot more innocent compared to the new ones of today.

Currently in a run of Lufia II, with plans to play Lufia I next. I think the old SNES RPGs were far better then today's games. They had far better stories.

I like all kinds of video games. Games of the past and the present. I really enjoyed Super Mario Bros. (2 and 3 especially) Another game you may or may not of heard of is Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels. It's available on Super Mario All-Stars for the Super Nintendo and on the Wii shop channel. It's like Super Mario Bros., only a lot harder. Heck, I've got about 40 classic VC games on my Wii. Other older games I've thoroughly enjoyed include: Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Illusion of Gaia, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Actraiser, Super Mario World 1 and 2, Super Metroid and many others. In case your interested, there is Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine on Gamecube. They're both a lot of fun, but they're obviously not the old school you're looking for. Just throwing that out there.
