Classic systems (Atari, NES, SNES, SEGA)

[Flamebo]

Mario 3 was a SNES title.

It's definitely an NES title.

Ironman can you explain this emulator disc you have for the dreamcast?

I'm not 100% sure on how it works, but there is something about the Dreamcast that made it possible to run home-brew programs. One such program was emulator programs slightly modified to run in the Dreamcast environment. It may have to do with the Windows CE compatability that the Dreamcast has. Anyways, how it works is that I load the disc just like any regular game and boot up the DC and it loads up a menu of the games that I can select to play and that's pretty much it. DC Emulation website this site has some more info about it if you are interested.

I love Atari. I have a 7800 and my friend has a 2600. I love my 7800. The games are great and it can also play all the great 2600 games.

uh yeah, my nes still works sorta, for a while i had it masted with the punching the nes, then blowing into the game and the system, and pushing the cartridges in in certain ways, etc. but now i kinda suck at that, and megaman for that matter (seriously i suck at megaman and i used to pwn in that game) dont suppose anyone knows how to fix it?

also forgot to mention and havent seen it in this thread, CASTLEVANIA!!!!11 lol i loved that game, and the flash game for it when you fight the nun and jesus is hilarious lol

i think its a proven NES fact that if you blow the cartridge from right to left it will work better then the same blow but left to right.

Sega

i have a bunch of sega genisis games somewhere in my closet, because me saga quit working last year. if you want to buy any PM me.

[trains are bad]

I play SNES for FFIII and chrono trigger, and Zelda: Link to the past.

PPl are already starting to call the ps1 old school. At any rate it has to be my favorite with Metal gear solid, Xenogears, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Final fantasy Tactics and VII, along with the suikodens.

The ps2's finest games would be ICO, Silent hill2, Shadow hearts, Devil may cry 1, the gta games, And anything produced by Kojima including Metal Gear Solid 2 and ZOE 1&2.


So many garbage games out there.

[cheetah256]

i love my old school systems.

i managed to get my toploader NES for $10, with only one controller though. i'm severely dissapointed that gamestop as a corporation quit carrying anything other than GC, PS2, and XB games now. i used to go there all the time and pick up stuff for my DC, NES, SNES.

as for the dreamcast stuff you guys were wondering about, boob! is a great site for info on that. there's even a distro of redhat that runs on the DC with the keyboard : )

*edit*
oh, and those of you with nomads, hang on to them. look how much they sell for on ebay! i unfortunately gave mine away years ago.

YES!!!!!!1 YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!1 I have it for SNES... damn, what an aaaaaaawesome game...

[sgt_easton]

I wouldn't call SNES a classic system. No way. Classic in my opinion would be pre-NES.

I too had an Atari 2600, and I think I had a 7800 as well. Those joysticks hurt your thumb muscles! Speaking of which, I saw an Atari joystick at Wal-Mart the other day. It had like 10 Atari games in it, and it had wires to connect to your TV. Kinda funny how much technology shrinks.

Missile Command, Defender, Combat (my all-time favorite) and Asteroids. There were probably some others.

NES history? Let's see if some of you kids know what I'm talking about:
The grey NES gun
The Powerpad
When Mario 3 came out, it was the biggest event EVER!!!
Contra. Nothing I can say will do this game justice.


Anyone remember this?

[gibby]

Don't forget the power glove too.

I also have a few Nintendo Game & Watches too!

I was special and had a bright orange and grey gun. Another thing that was special I had the original Mario Bros, Duck Hunt & Track and Field on one cartridge. I quickly learned how to cheat on the power pad. Nothing like getting 29 ft jumps on the triple jump.
