Favorite old-school games?
I know we've had plenty of discussions on some of these areas before, but I was curious as to what were the true standout - and perhaps classic, but forgotten, titles on various platforms.
What I propose is people list up to four of their favorite titles on any or all of the following old-school systems: 1980s Arcade Games NES/SNES N64 PS1 Dreamcast or any other "outdated" device. I'll go first below. |

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!" |
