    Default Your best old school game you still play of all time

    I am trying to see what some of you consider the best old school game that you still play is. Mine is super mario 64 because of all the game shark stuff you can do you will never ever run out of ways to custom your game.

    The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for nintendo. I can beat it in one sitting every time, only losing any turtles (if any) at the end in the technodrome. I think its one of the best nintendo games hands down, and I dont understand why so many people hate it. People say its soo hard but theres only one difficult part right at the end in the technodrome. I also hate when people bitch about the swimming part. Its really not that hard

    I still play games on many retro systems and there are really way too many i have enjoyed and still enjoy playing, but not including my arcade games/cabs then it might be something like Carrier Command (Amiga),Knight Lore (ZX Spectrum) or Berzerk (Atari 2600).
    I could never narrow it down to just one game it would give me mind block lol

    I'd have to say Tetris on the SNES Tetris/Dr. Mario combo cartridge is my all time favorite version of Tetris ... and the one old school game I've been playing for years since its release. It's truly timeless. There's something about this version that makes it superior over all other versions. I think it has to do with the presentation ... the SNES has a marvelous sound chip that gives the three Gameboy original Tetris tunes that extra robust flavor. Couple this with the vibrant SNES graphics and the 2 player competitive mode (missing from both NES versions), and you get a version of Tetris that endures forever!

    Runner up: Tetris Attack on SNES (I prefer this version to Pokemon Puzzle League on N64 or Planet Puzzle League on the DS)

    Dreamcast:
    Sonic Adventure 2. I've played thru this game soooo many times i've pretty much got it memorized. The best of the 3D Sonic games IMHO.

    PS2:
    Persona 4. Reallllly long RPG and one of my favorites from the Persona/Shin Megami Tensei franchise that features some light dating-sim elements. Reallllllly good.

    Super Famicom:
    Super Famicom Wars. The second incarnations of the Nintendo "Wars" series, and realllly freaking addictive. If you like Advance Wars on the GBA, (and have a way to play Super Famicom games) you should definitely check this out.

    N64:
    Custom Robo. One of my favorite 3-D mecha games (easily up there with Virtual-On and Armored Core) and what I would say is the really good mix of the two. You can customize your mecha with different weapons and then fight in pretty awesome 3D arenas that easily surpass the Saturn version of Virtual-On. (FYI, the N64 version is import only)

    Saturn:
    Dragon Force. I absolutely love Strategy RPGs and Working Designs made some of the best ones back in the day (The Saturn version of Magic Knight Rayearth was a pretty awesome RPG too). You take control of massive armies and conquer several kingdoms all over the world, and it's one of the best S-RPGs from the time period (1997?) and IMHO, would easily beat out Final Fantasy Tactics on the PS1.
    ==SuperFamicast64's Console Collection==

    Dreamcast, PS2, Super Famicom, N64, Saturn, PS1, PSP, GBA, Genesis (w/Model 2 Sega CD), WonderSwan, SwanCrystal

    I don't think there's any single game that I replay frequently. If you asked me in my youth, then, yeah, I replayed some games a ton because my collection was small, but now I have too many unplayed games I want to get to. That's not to say I never replay anything, but when I look at a single game, even if I look at my favorites, we're still only talking a replay once every couple years or so. And that's only because those games, like Tail Concerto, Wonder Project J2, Dragon Spirit, etc., are short. There are other games I like even more, but if we're talking a 40+ hour commitment, then it's going to be more years yet before I bother with a replay.
