How old does it have to be to be old school? I'd say I'm a PS1 person myself.



I don't have a preference, old school games I play mostly out of nostalgia.

I'm and old school PC gamer. My first game was doom (my mates and I played it co-op, he shot with the space bar I controlled with the arrows). Thats one of the reasons I like halo more then cod 4. I'd rather play something more doom/marathon like then a modern based war game. Twitch all the way when it comes to FPS!

Although RTS and RPG are my real favorites genres. I still play starcraft :P

 

PS id should remake commander keen. Commander Keen > all platformers ever (except for jazz jackrabbit, those two games are equal).



I'm playing The Goonies 2 on my NES right now, the only console currently connected to a TV.

Custers Revenge gives me real oldschool vibes :D

Both! SMB3, Kirby's Adventure, OoT, MGS, Jak, TP, Uncharted, etc. Love 'em all!



I'm more of an old school gamer. I really got hooked on NES games a few years ago and I'm currently at about 230+ NES games. NES along with the SNES are probably my favorite consoles. With that in mind it's safe to say I 2D games to 3D. Don't get me wrong I love games like COD4 and Bioshock, but give me some 2D platforming goodness and I'll forget about those games.

Also 3D gaming took one of my favorite franchises, Mega Man, and pissed on it. Sure Legends was ok, but thats about it. Oh what I wouldn't give for a new Mega Man game in vain of Mega Man X, to be released on Wii Ware..



Oldschool. There's nothing more enjoyable in a game, than a great gameplay.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

I like oldschool games way more than new ones, simply because they got a much better gameplay than the modern games imo.

wouldn't the correct term be Old School and New Wave?

Anyway...im more of a Newer wave. I pretty much got started with snes and genesis but had an original nes as well...its just didn't kick me in as much as the other 2. While games are still good on the older systems the only real older games i always find myself going back to is FFIII and Zelda: A link to the past. Sure there were great games back then.....but many people don't realize.....there was WAY more fucking shit back then there is now. It's just no one really remembers all the old shit unless it was downright horrible. Not saying today doesn't have it's stinkers....trust me it does. But qauility games actually come out in bulk now. I honestly don't remember waiting for more then 2 games in a year back then....i was young but i was still a gamer with his magazines. And don't give me the better gameplay shit....Jump on his head!! press B to punch *insert cheesy sound effect and the fist of someone appearing out of nowhere*

Anyway point is....people really only remember those few good gems, and seem to exclude the garbage trying to say that older games are better. However todays garbage is present, so its easier for them to remember something they played 10 minutes ago that was crap....I can't remember how many times i put in a snes game got pissed cause it sucked and never played it again.
