Favorite oldy

[PhoenixFlame]

All those Final Fantasy VII fans fail to realize that Final Fantasy VI was truly the pinnacle of the entire series.

Aside from RPGs, Wolfenstein 3D was great fun, and Golden Axe was even better.

I also liked Jurssic Park even though I never beat the first level because the T-Rex always scared the shit outta me.

Super Mario All Stars was a favorite too

I agree!

However, FFV beats it for fun factor.

FFIX was better

 

[Logan Westbrook]

I would have to say Shadowrun for the SNES.

 

[killrage]

Red Alert was a commonly played one too

Vectorman

Good God, you know Vectorman?

Can I...

Have your autograph? And a hug?

 

[clericalerror]

I can think of three clear ones.

Chronotrigger
XCom Alien unknown
and Total Annihilation (not so old)

 

[Moe The Bus Driver]

Punch Out for the NES has been my favorite game for years on end, and most likely will remain so.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Fallout 2( anyone know where I can get Fallout tactics: Brotherhood of steel), Baldur's gate Command and Conquer, master of Orion, mechcommander (anyone know where I can get Mechcommander 2?).

Oh, and for the Jagged Alliance players: Know of any free download sites I can get it from.

Spectrum! Jet Set Willy, Manic Miner, and of course Jet Pac...

Oh and the absolute classic that was Jumping Jack Flash...

'Jumping Jack Flash is quick and bold,
With skill his story will unfold'

Suddenly feeling old

There are many many others but I've kept it down to the essential games for each system.

I wasn't really around then... but I do love Sam & Max Hit the Road. Makes me wish LucasArts would stop sucking so much.

 

[killrage]

Sim city was awesome

(does anyone like SMRPG? It was like, my whole childhood; not literally)

 

[Mr_Cynical]

DAY OF THE TENTACLE!!!
The Chaos Engine, Monkey Island, Wing Commander, Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, Frontier...

It's hard for me to nominate a favorite oldy. I for one definitely would say damn near all of my favorites are on the SNES. Terranigma is a recent classic for me (since it never got a U.S. release). Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen even though I STILL haven't finished it. ShadowRun, my first exposure to cyber-punk RPGs (and arguably my last). Mega Man X, which held my attention longer than its sequels did. Demon's Crest, but that's just Mega Man X again. Cybernator, as well as the original version, Assault Suit Valken. Axelay, arguably one of the greatest shmups of all time (definitely the best of that generation). And last bu not least, Super Earth Defense Force, not a stand-out title but the weapon system was really fun.

Mega Man X, I was around four or five when I first played it, that game had everything, kick ass suits, cool bosses... I miss the old days.
