Any Other Classic/Retro Gamers on Shroomery? * 1
    #26251100 - 10/14/19 05:06 AM (4 years, 3 months ago)

Plenty of discussion on newer stuff; how about classic stuff like NES, SNES, Genesis, etc? Who else grew up in the 90's with this stuff, and still enjoys it from time to time? I got my NES working and have been playing tons of Legend of Zelda. Shit is timeless.

I love retro games. Though for me the ultimate are the PS1 final fantasy and also snes rpgs are awesome. I prolly like retro games (of that era at least) more than most modern stuff.

When i remember a good, old dos game, like Jazz Jackrabbit comes to mind, i will dl and dosbox it.

Theres this awesome cult classic comedy rpg called Kingdom O Magic and you really can only play it on dos (i did manage to make it work in small screen on dosbox, and someone made a remake demo with like the first part of the game thatll work on modern windows).

Its the best. Pulp fiction jokes and a semi open world its just freakin amazing. You also pick your protagonist, a lizard or this medieval chick, and there are like 4 diff adventures (kinda like RE2 and the 4 diff campaigns)

The PS1 is excellent. I just refurbished on a friend gave me that was all beat up. Works great! I just need controllers, games, etc. now.

I've got mostly NES and Genesis stuff at the moment.

I mostly just use my laptop pc with emulators and an xbox 360 controller. Works really well for almost all consoles!

Def esp ps1 rpgs like FF7, FF8, FF9, Persona, Xenogears, etc etc
And soooo many snes rpgs, and a couple of genesis

Yes sir! TJ&E was my favorite Genesis game, especially the second one. I grew up with that big time! Castlevania is one of my most cherished series. I have Crystalis for the GBC! Link's Adventure, Zelda II, correct? Classic! The other three are must haves as well. The first two I've actually never played much of!

Currently bouncing between the OG Zelda on the NES and A Link to the Past - my favorite game of all time - on the SNES (emulated).

I really like the modern Zelda game actually, for switch. As much as i like old school stuff. Its really hard to top Link to the Past and IMO Links Awakening is sick too. Actually the new one is like a mix of Zelda 2 (nes) and Skyrim IMO

But two of my fav "defunct" systems: dreamcast and gamecube, which btw i do find to be similar. DC was way ahead of its time. Ive played most of the DC games. I remember when they had Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament, online play with no lag on a console with 56k modem. Freakin amazing. I remember how fun it was doing team dm with real people for the first time on a console. If you wanted to play Doom, Command and Conquer or Hexen online youd need an individual IP and all that back then

Not to mention gems like shenmue 1+2, Maken X, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure, Grandia II, skies of arcadia (those two i miss most, gotta revisit, just playing too many rpgs at once

FF7 and FF15 on PS4, FF9 on switch. Also playing Tactics.  FF12 on queue, Kingdom Hearts 1+2 collection (never finished either) And also slowly going through RDR2 when i have time.

But i also enjoy oldies like Diablo 1 and 2, Age of Empires..and if anyone here uses dosbox to play Kingdom O Magic you wont regret it (its also ahead of its time and unique for a 1996 game), it plays like open world Monkey Island with rpg elements, and a hell of a sense of humor. Theres even a black prince that thinks hes samuel L jackson and quotes pulp fiction

Basic style of the gameplay


But this game is no lucasarts ScummVM, if anything its a satire of those. Also you can fight anyone and you have levels and hp. And the humor still hasnt been topped IMO

OLD games i like: warcraft 2/starcraft, xcom series, diablo 1, gabriel knight series, all the chrono trigger era snes rpgs (ALOT of more obscure ones like Terranigma), all the genesis phantasy star and shining force games, and sometimes ill just play straight up MUDs and get sucked into MMO text adventure (the more popular free ones have like 300+ players at a time, Aardwolf is the most simple to start with)

Warcraft 1 was good.

You could build walls. I hated when they took that out.

WC1 was cool but i found the GUI to be pretty annoying. WC2 got the controls down pretty well

Whats so funny about Kingdom o Magic? Its a sick fucking game. I was listing a whole lot of classics i enjoy, and that one is near/at the top due to both nostalgic value and just a real fun adventure. Kinda like a playable Monty Python rpg/adventure from 1996

Yeah, the classics are pretty much the only games I play. It's about more than just the game though, it's also the whole nostalgia thing. Playing old games takes me back to when I was a teenager or a kid, it's a good feeling.

It's the same reason I enjoy anime: it reminds me of all my teenage years, really takes me back and makes me feel young again, and lets me lightly relive my teenage years. Same with games.

I have been really wanting to get into Pinball machines lately. Not sure if that would be considered retro but still.... hopefully picking up my first one soon.
