Are You A 80's 90's Retrogames Fan?Which Videogames Of The Past Do You Remember?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames 6 years ago

HI! This is a discussion that I always wanted to do!!! I'm a videgame lover of 80's and 90's. In my opinion I think videogames of that ages are more interesting of nowdays game with realistic graphic. Maybe I'm addicted to that games because I grow up with them and I have more fun playing them.
I used to own lots of consoles: 8 bit nintendo, gameboy, megadrive, 16 bit sega game gear, sega megadrive and 32x that is an expantion for megadrive to transform it in 32 bit. with it I could play Doom on megadrive.amazing! Then I owned a sega saturn and a playstation that is my last console i bought.
My favourite one I think It is nintendo 8 bit that was my first real console. And my first and maybe favourite videogame on it was Faxanadu, a fantasy platform adventure where you can buy weapons and shields to make the character stronger.
I loved all the Mario Bros series for nintendo expecially the third episode because there was the innovations of mario transforming in animals like frog and racoons and get special abilities.
Another cool nintendo game and a bit scary when I was young was Maniac Mansion, a point and click adventure game in style of Monkey Island or Zack McKracken. It was an horror humoristic story and takes place in a mansion where there is a mad doctor that wants to rule the world and took as prisoner a girl. You control the friends of the girl to free her. It is cool because you can control many characters with different skills. They did another episode of it "the day of tentacle" that came out for personal computers.
Of megadrive I loved Shining Force maybe it is one of the best adventure rpg game in stile of zelda/final fantasy (the old ones).
I have lot of videogames in my mind to let you know, but I'll keep on to write them when you will post here.
I think It would be great to remind the glory past of 80's 90's videogames. So I ask you which games of the past do you loved? I'd be very happy to get your responses about it.

i'm a passionate gamer, i love games, right now i own a ps2 and i'm trying to get an xbox 360 now, i love the games of today cuz they are so real and so challenging, yet sometimes i can't help myself and catch myself playing Dr.mario with my sisters or 90 tank with my father, and i can still save the princess in super mario.
Some games never grow old.They're still fun to play.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

cool game dr. mario. I like puzzle games like that


myLot reputation of 98/100. vega83 (1414)   ranked 3 out of 4 in retrogames  5 years ago

yeah, I know it is a cool game, I can't believe I still sometimes play it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  5 years ago

I think 80's and 90's videogames are the best. They will never die!

Hi jamz well i played a lot of games in the 80´s but to remember all the names makes me crazy in the head. I didn´t have one of them consoles in that time but my youngest brother has all nintendo cosoles. I played more on the commodore 64. Good games i still remember are Decathlon, Hyper Olympics, Galaga, Phenix, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Cabal, Maniac Miners, Giana Sisters, River Raid, Vengeance, Pole Position, Pac Man, Battle Field and sure Mario Bros & the Zelda games in the 90´s.
I maybe get to remember more by thinking a little more about it.

I was also one of them kids who went into the pups back room to play on the big game machines, o brother my mom found out about that i think i was about 13 and she catched me one day in a pup and boy i was pulled out there from her, she was really mad about me being in those places. The thing is we had a big drug scene that time in our city in 1982 and she was scarred that her little boy would may be try some out but i never did, imagine i was 13 i didn´t even think of drug abuse. This sure has changed for the todays generation of youngsters.

ps. Great topic jamz i like thinking back on all that 80´s stuff i sure come back on this one.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

remembering each games drive us crazy but little by little I will post some other ones. great games! I remember frogger It was one of my first videogames I played. I was little child when I played it at my uncle's house. He owned that game on very old console I think it was spectrum, but I don't remember very well I was so little:p I used to go always to games room, to play videogames I wasted lot of coins! the first time I went to a game room, was with my cousin i was about 6 years old and we used to play shinobi and track n field, kung fu master and another game beat em up. thanx for sharing your experience. it's very interesting. Me too I like to remind 80's. I think they were the best time.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

See that´s what i mean Jamz i was 13 and you were 6, i can say i never saw a little boy from your age in the games room those days, i was the youngest that time... lol
But yes Track & Field comes back to my mind as you mention it here. I was bizzy after posting here first so didn´t think on any other games then but sure tomorrow. so see ya´


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

ehhe lol! and I think people nowdays don't go to games room so often as in the past because videogames are cheaper and with internet you can download free games from the net. thanks as always. see ya soon.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes your probable right about that fact, but i´m sure it was much more fun in the ol´ days, well it counts for my self.

I never download games also don´t play on pc, i love consoles they are best for video games. I got back thinking on another old game that we played on the atari vcs but it was much better playing it on the big machines it´s called Moon Patrol. We were playing this like crazy also we got really good at it so we didn´t had to put in that amount of money... lol but it was very hard, you must be 100% concentrated on it to beat every stage.

The last time i was in these game rooms i recognized since we got the euro it got far to expencive. I´m really hopeing on much more responses on your topic jamz. Could be getting a real nice time trip...hehe

ps. i feel like a kind of idiot, how you name these big consoles in the game rooms???


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

I'm totally agree with you. me too I prefer to play consoles. Today it is true that games room are very expensive. And I think in the past a videogame was more desidered because they were not as spreaded as today. today you can find a game everywhere, in supermarkets, included with a magazine, or there are free games on the net. In the past, for me I couldn't change games so often because they cost more than today.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yeah... that´s it i know same people they never played on older consoles because of the graphic the said was bad which i can´t understand, but now a days they all play a lot and my self is not so into gameing as i used to be. I specialy liked the N64 that was a great thing and with awesome games on high quality gameplay. Did you ever play Conker´s Bad Fur Day or the Banjo & Kazzoie game???

ps. I remember playing Probotector on SNES with my youngest brother, that was a real great action game which both players could play at the same time, what a hell of a fun.

A good and funny jump into the past! I remember Pac-man and mrs. Pacman, Ghost'n'Goblins, Asteroids, Super Mario,F-15,
and other I'll remember... Were many Atari games playde with Atari station or a Commodore 64! Do you remember Commodore 64?


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes i had a Commodore 64 in 1984 i also had the one befor VC-20, but yes i nearly forgot Ghost´n Goblins & Asteroids thanks for reminding me on them. I never had that Atari VCS console but some of my friends had one, i remember playing these Star Wars games with them, man that thing coasts a fortune that time that´s why i didn´t get one for christmas.. hehe.. yeah.. that´s how it was these days.

ps. Hope some more mylotians come in for share more games that i have probable forgotten in all these years.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

I remember commodore 64 but I never owned one. I used to play at my friend house. there was a great game called Stunts where you can create tracks and run with a car. It was amazing for that age! great ghost'n goblins!! it was a bit difficult expecially in games room where they put the hardest difficult level to make you waste lot of coins :P


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

I was remembering another game that i used to play in games room.. It was SPLATTERHOUSE! I was a child when I played it and it scared me very much, first times I played it I couldnt sleep ehhehe. I think it wasn't the right game for a little kid.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

I was very interested in programming the Commodore 64, i learnd the computer language that time and were able to programm sprite (pixel element) figures with three colours at maximum which could be moved with the controller through a stage level design similar to like in thee Donkey Kong.
But the real hard thing was to put in movement on enemys or other moving level parts, i couldn´t get this into work, well i´m not a genius... lol but i sat for hours on programing different things.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

oh well! I think it is a bit difficult to program that. And for only one person it is hard to make videogame, it is need a work group, only one person will become crazy to program a whole videogame or I at least I'd become crazy if I were good programming. I studied a bit of programming at high school I did C++, but I remember that was very boring :/ Programming isn't good for me or it is good but with a visual programming software. So I think you did a great job!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

I just was interested a lot in that stuff those days and i went as far as i could at age 14, but one day i had enough of it and never touched a computer. Since last year when my girlfriend wanted to buy one in September. Then i started to record some music on it but i recognized that i´m more into the old technique so i still stick in my 4 track recorder to record songs.

But one day i was looking through the web and just through a random i came on mylot..LOL .. so here still i am. Well actually i was looking into German forums but somehow had no interest in them. But as i saw mylot and that it´s in english... i thought yeah i give it a try...haha

ps. i gave another comment on a game it´s a little above from this one may be you didn´t see it jamz, have a look.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

ah I forgot it.. I think those big consoles are called coin up games, and the big box where there is the screen and the joystic is called cabinat. Thank you for keep this discussion alive. I gave you a best response!


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

yes my lot is much more interesting than a forum. cool! do you record on a 4 track recorder? Do you mean the tape system or 4 track on a computer?


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yeah... i mean the old tape recorders i also have a 8 track tape recorder but the smaller one sounds better because the normal tapes are better for only useing 4 tracks, on 8 track each track is very thin, so the 4 track has more dynamic.

ps. what´s up that can´t be three responses on now, that can´t be true ... LOL


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

no I never played them, I don't know them. I know very well probotector! great game! I used to play it in game rooms and with nintendo 8 bit.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

I never tried that kind of recording system. I only heard about it. when I started to play that kind of technology disappeared, but I think with them you can have a more genuine sound, some bands still use it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Well then you missed two great games they are both adventure. Conker is unique in the humour it has, it´s very special to say and great fun, i allways have to laugh about the spoken dialects all the characters come up with... LOL

The 4 track recorder i have is 15 years old, still works great and the 8 track is from 1995 after them came the hard disk recorders. We did live recordings in our practise room, worked out pretty fine even with the drumset. But we used a second mixer for the drums because we took it of with 6 mic´s and conected it with the mixer in the 8track. What a work we had till all was set up right... LOL


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

is conker for nintendo 64? if yes I can't play it I don't have that console. hehhe to have a cool sound I know it is needed lot of patience and work with sets.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes right it came out first for N64, i think in 2000 but i also have the remake on the Xbox which is awesome. Just to get you interested i put a screenshot in ...hehe.. have a look jamz. Here´s a site for the game:

http://www.microsoft.com/...



myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

thanks for the pic. It sounds great and graphic is very good! I suppose it is very funny


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes really... well it´s contains more black adult humour but funny as hell .. LOL try it one day just for having fun some hours. It´s about a squirrel named Conker that is on it´s way to get home to his girlfriend after drinking at the pup and get´s on the wrong side of the road and then a really weird adventure starts for him... it´s defenitly not a kiddy´s game ...haha ..LOL


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

heheh I noticed it isnt for kids, I saw the site you gave me and there are pics with killer animals with blood on their shirts lol!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes i know... well they updated the original version on the Xbox with including a muliplayer death match game, pretty bloody but it´s cartoon ... hehe

myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

sonic was cool but I prefer mario bros serie. thanks to come here:)


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

I never played the Sonic games but i know that chatacter. What´s up with the old 2d Castlevania games they were pretty good and fun to play. And still in the change to 3d these were great games, well i haven´t played the last ones but i remember the N64 version was awesome!


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

I suggest to try sonic 1, it is the rival of mario :P I prefer mario anyway.
I remember castelvania! I liked it! I used to play it in games room and with snes emulator. I didn't play yet to the 3d one but I suppose it is great!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

I remember that the critics on Castelvania 64 for N64 were not that good but i like the game, still have it and sometimes when i´m in the mood i play it. The game included playing it with two different characters so it has a little difference in storyline.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

I hope It is good as the 2d version. The old version had a cool soundtrack too.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes the soundtrack on the N64 verion is great as it allways was. What about the Zelda game series did you play one part of it?


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

yeaaa! I played zelda 3d ocarina time for nintendo 64 and I played zelda 1 for nintendo 8 bit! It was great! lately I wish to play the 8 bit version again! Last time I played it I was very kid lol! too bad I can't post photos! lol 10 posts more and I can upload them too!:)

I was used to play this old Nintendo's Dragon Quest lots.I really liked the plot and I remember I was playing often since at that time we didn't have a memory card(Now we can save when we want to but you knwo what I mean in back then....lol)

myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  6 years ago

yea! It is a good game. I like that kind of game. And I read some Dragon quest's manga too. I liked the graphic and the plot. It was great time when there were those games without memory card. Inside the cartidge there was a memory where you could store data saves.

I've played many games from the 80s and 90s. Games like the early Zelda games, Mario ones, Megaman, and so many others. Double Dragon games I've gotten into playing some and the early Castlevania games. Sonic games I enjoyed when I got to them play on the Genesis.

There's probably a lot more than I'm mentioning and of course can't forget some of the puzzle games like Dr. Mario and Tetris. Even the Donkey Kong Classic game was pretty fun to play at the time.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)   ranked 1 out of 4 in retrogames  5 years ago

Great games! I like them all! Lately I used to play to the first zelda for nes! I've genesis too, it is a great console but my favourite one is nintendo 8 bit! there are all classics, mario bros, zelda, bubble bobble and so on.

It was, and still is, a simple, repetitive game, that people never get sick of it!
Who would imagine that jump over bad looking mushrooms and get in pippes could be so fun...
