"Retro" Gaming 1995-2001

[Tariq]

Recently bought the Metal Gear Solid oldies and Final Fantasy X/X-2 that have been re-released in HD for PS3.

New games don't even scratch the fun of the classics.

gog.com sells quite a lot of old PC games very cheap, they've even modified a number of them so they work in Windows 7(Dungeon Keeper 2 and Theme Hospital included) without faffing about. I'm actually finding it really hard not to buy games when they are a couple of quid each and I was bad enough with steam....

I adored the first Sonic on my dad's Sega Megadrive. That game was an absolute blast. I'll have to dig the old thing out of the loft to relive the memories.

Phew, making me feel old, I consider retro gaming to be Spectrum and C64 :-)

My oldest gaming memory was playing Sonic 2 on my neighbour's Mega Drive. At age 2.

Used to play a lot of really old Mac games like Myst, Pathways Into Darkness, the Marathon trilogy etc on THIS old thing.

[Lozart]

My first memory of games (outside of arcades that is) was playing some traffic light game on an old Commodore Pet at my middle school. I would have been around 12 I guess so 1982ish?

 

 

 

 

God I feel old now.

[ak2m4]

I remember around 1984 Thatcher decided every school should have a computer so our primary school got a Links Machine??? I think it was called..... No one actually used it for programming apart from one of the teachers who made a pirate game that everyone in the whole school would queue up in line to play haha

i recently bought doom 2 for PS1 to play on my dusty PS2. i have a gamecube with a Zelda collection going back to the original

[ItsAJ]

Final fantasy 7 might be old but never grows old. Amazing game, my favourite tbh , waiting for them to announce a remake of it.

[EvilMonkee]
