Retro Gaming - The Definitive List

[MK-2]

come on then, lets all take a trip down memory lane. what games for the consoles/computers you owned 'back in the day' were the ones that you always played?

 

For me I'd have to go for:

Spectrum -

Dizzy series; I know it was on all platforms but it was a superb series of games nonetheless

Joe Blade; Side scrolling shooter which I just loved

And one out of the blue........

Rapscallion; absolute classic game hehe

 

Sega Mega Drive -

Streets of Rage series; need I say more. That music is legendary

Toejam and Earl; see above

Even now I load up the genesis emulator and get the toejam and SOR roms out

 

PC -

Doom/Doom2 (not a big fan of Final Doom and Doom3); What.....a.....cracker!

Quake (again, not a massive fan of Q2/Q3/Q4); First multiplayer game I played online....oh the many hours on Wireplay dial-up!!

 

 

 

Any offers?
