Suikoden III, FF 12, and Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II.

Interesting thread.

Off and on, I've been trying to beat Phantasy Star 2 for Genesis. Absolutely perfec non-NES/SNES game. Quite possibly one of the best, most visionary RPGs of all time on a console.

Other than that, I'm thinking about downloading a ROM of Breath of Fire 2 to play. I have the BoF2 cart for my SNES, and it works, but I just hate the save systems on old JRPGs, that force you to save @ a town. Because of that' I never really beat it.

I've been playing thru Panzer Dragoon Saga and Shining Force 3 for the Saturn.

Just beat the original Contra on NES, moved on to Super C and Contra III.

lately,

Amiga : Another world
PC : Planescape Torment
PS : r-type delta, FF5

i always play old games with my brothers and family, cool games and my family dont have to learn much of the gameplay of each game, the gameplay is easy, well the gameplay of the wii is more easy now XD

just Beat Super mario World, DDK country and now working on DDK Country 2 On the Virtual Console......

Soon Going back to Mario 64 to own all the stars

Nights (Saturn)

Yoshi's Island (SNES)

Super Mario RPG (SNES)

Gunstar Heroes (Genesis)

Those games hold up really well I think.

I guess there is quite a few classic gamers here, which is great to know. TheSource, I played SMRPG for the first time a few months ago and what a fun game it was. I agree that it holds up really well, considering I was free of the nostalgia of having played it as a kid and still had a blast.

I never beat Donkey Kong 64, one of my all time favorite games. Let me clear some things up, I always beat every game I start, and I start alot of games. I like most any game, and not beating Donkey Kong 64, despite loving it sooo much, has haunted me for years. 

I played through the whole damn game, but could never climb to the top in the Classic Donkey Kong game. (I already got the coin from the jetpack game) So, after lossing sleep for 6 years, I finally got back into it, playing it for 15 to 20 minutes a night trying to climb to the top of the tower. When I finally did it, I already knew I would only be rewarded with a banana, so I was ready to do it again.  It only took me 2 trys to get to the top the second time through (which is a little harder).  I then probably needed a dozen, if not more, trys to beat the final boss, but I did it. 

I now feel relieved, and refreshed. I feel I could take on anything... I just wish Rare would make one more real Donkey Kong game, although I know they never will again because they broke away from Nintendo a few years back. Actually I think Nintendo broke away from Rare because.. basically because Rare doesnt make any games anymore.. Its too bad really.  I love Donkey Kong 64, and I have finally conquered it.
