If any of you played video games 10 years ago, you know that almost every game out there today is just a knockoff of some old nintendo game, only with better graphics. And possibly a worse storyline. So anyways, this is the topic to discuss how awesome those old games were. Here are a few to refresh your memory:
Kirby Superstar
Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars
Yoshi's Island
Kirby's Avalanche
The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time
Super Mario 64
Doom (not technically nintendo, but appeared on the '64)
Super Mario Kart
Banjo Kazooie (and Banjo Tooie)
Starfox

Here's the ones I played. For Star Fox though, I only played the one over in the Brawl Trial, but I supposed that counts.
Who here likes the Castlevania game franchise!? *Expects agreement, but here alone and solitary*

It's all right. It takes a lot of practice, and I really stink right now. I'm seriously rusty (Again, for like, the umpteenth time). My recent plays, which is right here: http://stepmaniaonline.com/index.php?mod=Stepmania+Online&player=Gaarafan4910 (http://stepmaniaonline.com/index.php?mod=Stepmania+Online&player=Gaarafan4910)
I'm showing a sign of weakness. I'm getting lower ranks than my intended. That's not supposed to happen. Argh...
And winkio, it's all right to speak about Stepmania because it is a variation of Dance Dance Revolution, which is now ten years old! Woo, tenth anniversary (Which meant DDR debuted in the tender year of 1998).
You're right, Castlevania's are missing. D:
yes, many are missing. Definitely
Castlevania (although I only played them a few times). Also:
Donkey Kong (mario vs monkey throwing barrels)
The full game for the original gameboy was awesome! I think there were at least 70 levels!
Pokemon (good the first time around)
Who didn't play this game obsessively?
Final Fantasy (HOW COULD I FORGET!? :o)
No explanation needed
Donkey Kong Series (From Country to '64)
some people may not habve played these but they were very original and innovative.
btw I saw a commercial for a new game called "Space chimps" that is exactly like DK 64 - 5 chimps, you switch them out, adventure game, swinging from vines, the works.
Those are my additions but again, feel free to add ur own!
I'll leave it to kirby to add stepmania.
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Illusion of Gaia (aka Illusion of Time)
Terranigma <3 <3 <3
I know secret of mana, but i havent played the others, mostly because I didn't get into rpgs until after the SNES. They all look great! I shall download them and play them now! I'll start with terranigma, because it has an ABS (I <3 ABS).

Castlevania:
Killing a vampire has never gotten any better. The recent games are very fun for their RPG system can be addicting, with the action paced platforming skills. It's one of the only games I played fairly through the end, rather, one of the whole series.
Donkey Kong

There is about 100 levels. Someone created a speed-run of it, beating it in about 37 minutes or something.
Pokemon
Who didn't play this game obsessively?
I agree, the first so generations were classics. The Gold/Silver generation was my prime favorite however. Get ready people for Pokemon Platinum.
Final Fantasy
I like the RPG. :3
Donkey Kong Series (From Country to '64)

Oh that. :P

Dance Dance Revolution (Konami)
It's one of the original rhythm games that was pretty good. The recent series isn't up to par as some other ones, such as the Hottest Party ones, but that's all right. It is good exercise.
EarthBound
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves...if you haven't played EarthBound. On the outside, it's a regular Turn-based RPG with humor. However, it is beautifully crafted from Itoi, and the third game in the series is very anticipated by fans of EarthBound worldwide...
Sweet, Terranigma is AWESOME! Thanks Blizz! Anyone who hasn't played it should download it now!
The story is pretty cool as well with a nice few twists at the end. :3
Yes, I like the story so far, and all the references to history and the world. I don't think I'm near the end yet: I just started the haunted castle in spain. I can't believe I've never heard of this game before. I guess the only downside is that is uses pretty much the same two music loops over and over, but the gameplay is smooth and fun.
Yeah, the music could be more dynamic. I think that the queen, the boss at the castle is the hardest boss in the game. If you are under level 20, don't even try to fight her. If you are between 20 and 25, you should have no big problems. If you are over 25, th battle will take 1-2 minutes. BTW, I usually level up in the desert city with the zombies to level 20. The little bit of extra battles later before you get to the queen is just enough to get up to 23-24 and have a smooth-going battle with that w(b)itch. xD
You are at somewhere around 40%-50% of the game I'd say. I think that it's too short, there should have been at least 10 more hours of gameplay. :3
Strangely, I haven't played Terranigma. I played the other games made by the people of Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia, ActRaiser, and Soul Blazer for example, but not Terranigma. I know I know, you're going to annoy me about playing it or something, but oh well...What's the best part that differentiates Terranigma from the other Action RPGs made by the same developer?
It's better in every aspect. ABS is better, story is better, music is better, maybe even the graphics. xD IMO it's a shame that this "series" never continued. As I see it, each game topped the one before. :3 I won't annoy you with playing it, but it really is a game that should be played. :)
Other than that I liked the game feeling. You are "creating the world". Usually in games you try to stop somebody destroying it, but this time you are first "creating" it before you have to defend it from bad influence which isn't necessarily destruction.
anyone played system shock? it's probly my fav game still to this date. and system shock 2 was done by ken lavine who did bioshock which is teh pwnage

And tell me, which console is this on? It doesn't help me if you give something saying that System Shock was by the person who did Bioshock, which is a more recent game, giving the implication that System Shock is also pretty recent...Since this thread mainly relates to the old games...
And welcome to posting Dio. :P
system shock 1 came out in 1994.....i was saying that the franchise is a mainstay on the level of bioshock by metioning that the person who worked on it is a decent game designer if he created bioshock.....guess im the only one who listened to the release podcasts with ken himself*sadface*
and ty:)
KIRBY SUPERSTAR WAS THE BEST GAME EVER TO EXIST!
I'm awaiting the new Kirby game, they have the partner ability again :D! YAY!
rly...teh greatest game ever?
personally morrowind was the best game ever in my opinion
Everyone's formulated to their own opinion. I for one, personally prefer Kirby Super Star over Morrowind for example. Though it is hard for me to choose a favorite. Though Dio, Morrowind isn't that old...o.o It's just about 6 years, not that long.
So has anyone ever heard of Shadowgate? It's one of those generic Point-and-click, but it's extremely fun, especially if you die a lot. If you never heard of Shadowgate, it's been released for the NES, Mac, PC, and recently some Mobile and Pocket PCs. Here's four screenshots:

I played Shadowgate 64 on the N64. :3

Unfortunately, that one isn't as traditional as the previous Shadowgate. But...I applaud you, I know no one...just like I know no one who owns F-Zero...Which reminds me, who played that great Racing game of the future?
FALCON...PUNCH!!! :D
I played both F-Zero and F-Zero X. xD

I played both F-Zero and F-Zero X. xD
Likewise Blizzard...what was your main car? I preferred to use Black Shadow's Black Bull (This is F-Zero X) and Beastman's Hyper Speeder. Black Bull was to kill all the cars though, or try to have fun with that. I'm talking about F-Zero X, for the F-Zero game, all I did was stick with the Blue Falcon. XD
Too long ago to remember. But I played a lot with Falcon as well. xD
lol SRK...
i was just saying that kirby wouldn't be my "besty game ever" kind of thing as morrowind is pretty recent
and i'll have to check out shadow gate
and wat of daggerfall? anyone still have their copy? lol
the elder scroll lineage pwns
Metal Gear Solid anyone? :D
MGS4
Well the good'ol one but did you get the new one :D
old one was one of my fav games...played it when i was like 7 and was obsessed. my bros bought me VR missions 4 my birthdat 2

keep on topic:
daggerfall == epic
I was playing the mario game on the super nintendo today, it has so many tricks in it to skip levels :D

Ooohh cant remember what it was called but i played it when i was like 5 and you get this lazer gun thing that you shoot at the tv thats orange and its 2 players. And the characters look funny :P

I played Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Tooie... and they were AWESOME. Especially Banjo-Tooie; that game was a huge inspiration to me.
