Nostalgia that HAS NOT let you down

[Haukur Isleifsson]

Hitman 2, Mercenaries: Playground of destruction, Populous the beginning, Dungeon Keeper 2, Rome Total War, Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege 2, Company of Heroes, KOTOR 1 and 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and 4, Age of Wonders 2, Dawn of War (the whole thing) and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.

The comic book New Adventures Of Paperinik. Italian comics about Donald Duck as a superhero. The first three years are among the greatest comics I've read in my life, and I've read more comics than you guys. Trust me on that point.

 

[mattaui]

The Lord of the Rings books, the movie Blade Runner and the band the Cars. Their new album is good, too!

I have a lot of nostalgia for music. When I was little, I listened to a lot of my Dad's music. I tended to fixate on a few songs, so lately I've taken to finding them and downloading them. Now that I'm old enough to care about the lyrics, I've developed a whole new appreciation for them.

 

[WayOutThere]

Starship Troopers the Roughneck Chronicles is as awesome now as ever.

 

[Timberwolf0924]

Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, that right there..

The Lion King (IN 3D this weekend!)

 

[thylasos]

Streets of Rage 2. Still a fantastic game. Same with the original Half-Life, and the TV series 'Coupling'. And several other things, though that's all I'm prepared to remember at the moment.

 

[SergeMC]

Resident Evil 3.

Walking through a deserted park has never been more depressing.
Oh, and the fact that you have to outrun this giant Tyrant-thing that can kill you in one hit.

Memories, memories.

 

[Sovvolf]

Star Wars, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z... Pretty much every S.E RPG and Kingdom Hearts games (they're about 10 years old so technically nostalgic) .

Resident Evil games... Me'h there's quite a lot of old nostalgic games that I like.

 

[Idocreating]

I would have to say... THIS SHOW!

According to it's TvTropes page, many disagree as that dub changed and removed a whole lotta stuff.

Catchy theme tune that won't leave my head though.

 

[Strife17O7]

Playing through KotOR2 which I haven't played for long enough for the nostalgia to be valid.

Loving it. Forgot how fantastic Kestelman is as Kreia.

Yes! Thank you. I agree completely. At least I'm not the -only- one with an appreciation for KotOR2 as well as the first. To me it always felt like the darker story.

The original Rayman game for PS1. It holds up very well, even against modern platformers. That and Abe's Obysee. I own a PS1 still simply for those two reasons. (Although it is prone to freesing).

 

[Slowpool]

The original Star Wars trilogy, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Blackadder, the Simpsons (up to season 11), and the Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games for the PSX (especially the former).

*snip* ... Command & Conquer ... *snip*

I absolutely LOVE Red Alert 2. To this day I think it's one of the best RTS games ever made. Nothing is quite as satisfying as watching your squadron of Kirov Airship heading towards the enemy base! >:-D

Mine would be Skies of Arcadia and, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie and Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask

Skies of Arcadia is less a game I played ritually as a kid and more one I once dreamed of playing. When I was a kid (6-8 years old) a friend of mine used to play the original SoA and I would usually watch and play the occasional level. Thing was at the time I had an N64 not a Dreamcast so I didn?t have my own copy to play it properly. Eventually after a few years I found the game had been rereleased on the Gamecube and I decide now was the time to finally play the game for real and I was dumbstruck! It seriously is one of my all-time favourite games but weirdly very few people actually seem to remember it or have ever played it. It ranks somewhere alongside ?Primal? as a game that is a blend of Western/Japanese creation that very few people seem to have heard of. Back when I first heard about it I paid about £15 for a copy on the Gamecube, I just checked now and the price has gone up to a minimum of around £40!

Ha! I actually own Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast that I bought when it came out! (My brother had the N64.) I'm not into JRPG's, but I love that game. However, I'm at a point where I can't win a ship battle because I didn't buy extra armor because silly old me thought they would have given me SOME WARNING that I was going to NEED THAT ARMOR. That means that I now have to start the WHOLE GAME OVER FROM SCRATCH. *sigh* I'm going to do that one of these days, too!

What's funny though is that when a random battle is about to begin, because the Dreamcast had a very noisy processor, you can hear the console go "RRRHEN! RHEN, RHEIEN, RHEN, RHEIN!" just before the battles begin! XD

Pinky and the brain, greatest cartoon ever! :3
Also theres a book list that i will never list as it will take me forever

Oh and 2 games that are older than me but i still love, pacman and the original final fantasy, actually just a fair number of old classics

Oh and star wars, probably been meantioned, but love it even more than when i first watched it over a decade ago

I'll shut up now =P

 

[Sam Warrior]

Pretty much all PS2 games there still great

 

[Shadow flame master]

Gundam, DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, any Disney movie, and games in general.

 

[Princess Rose]

How about all you other Escapists out there? What's yours?

Xenogears (on the PSX/PS1).

I played it when it was brand new on PSX.

I played it on my PS2.

And I played it recently on my PS3 (release model, has the full backwards compatibility).

Still my favorite game of all time. The combat is fun, the grind is fairly low (you get enough XP just playing the game that extra grinding is mostly pointless), and the story is still one of the best I've ever experienced in a video game.

 

[nightwolf667]

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), I've always loved it and I probably always will. It's goofy as hell but there's a reason why most people consider it the definitive screen version of Robin Hood. Star Wars OT (without the CGI), KoTOR 2 (not KoTOR 1) cause it's awesome. Batman: The Animated Series, the Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited. The Timothy Zahn Thrawn trilogy. Most Disney movies I watched as a kid like Beauty and the Beast, the Lion King, Mulan, and the Little Mermaid. Tamora Pierce doesn't get old either. Jurassic Park stays as good as it was when I first watched it.

There's a lot things actually...

 

[Tanis]

Most anime that I REALLY love - well, lots of it ages well (at least to me).

THE LION KING (SNES) and CHRONO CROSS:
Both games I've beat more times I'd care to admit.
