Classic video games

[HOBBIT]

I Just recently played all through the first Super Mario Bros (on gameboy...its an exact copy as the Super Nintendo game).

I took me only a few hours I did it several times too (in a row) and gained many points. I don't know if this feature was on the SNES, but after you beat it, its gets harder and it took me a little longer but I beat it again.

IP: how was world 8? When I first got the game for GB, I got up to 8-1....took me about a month to beat 8-1, then I couldn't get past 8-2. When I picked it up a month ago, I figured out how to beat it...then I was able to beat the whole game in about 2 hours (ive gotten very good at it - useful skill )

The other Mario Bros - i beat the classic arcade game (easilly)...but I only got about 82% finished with SMB2 - its harder and im too lazy to figure it out.

I know I already said this, but like all the old mario games and good super nintendo games that everyone liked are all out on gameboy - or coming out on it. Also old class arcade games. This is good for me - because its the only system I have



I'm barely old enough to remember the original Nintendo Entertainment system and SNES. But barely. I do definately remember these though. I don't remember SNES being released though..too young...but I remember playing it before N64 came out. Kids YOUNGER than me won't remember any of these old games at all.

Anyone remember:
Original Duke Nukem 1, 2 , and 3. fighting dr. proton
Cosmo and sequels
Secret Agent Man! (at least thats what I think it was called).
Commander Keen and sequels
Jill of the Jungle
Monster Bash

I had many more - but can't remember them now. Of course none of them really work now (stupid DOS). Most of this were made by Epic Games and Apogee (now 3Drealms).


I never had a game system. My mom was weird that way.....still won't let us have a game system. I do remember playing other's NES, SNES, SEGA GENSIS, N64s. I always had fun playing this at ppl's homes.

I finally convinced her to let me get a gameboy - and I got a gameboy color when they first came out (now i have a GBA). I like old GB games - very fun. They keep coming out with remakes of old NES and SNES games for gameboy - very fun .

my fav old games:
Donkey Kong
Super Mario Brothers (plus sequels - i have this for gameboy and i have fond memories of playing it at friend's houses - VERY fun game. I'm very good at it).
All other Mario Games, mario lands, etc.
Donkey Kong Country
Mario Kart ( this was fun for SNES - but Mario Kart 64 was even better).

For sega - all i remember is some Tiny Tunes game that was fun and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. Very fun game.

I don't remember in great detail all the arcade games...but I loved the Simpsons one, if anyone knows what I am refering to.

I can't recall too many other video games that I really liked. I regret not buying more classic gameboy games - they don't sell them anymore and stores used to up until a couple of years ago. Now they have crappy GBC selections and the new games.

I've gotten too old to buy new games....but I still pick up my gameboy and play my old games (gameboy color games count as old too...obsolete). And theres the SNES EMULATOR. Haven't used that in years though.

I played Duke Nukem I and a little bit of II (didn't like it as much, tho').

Also Commander Keen I and part of II (liked it, but lost the floppy ), Jill of the Jungle, and part of Monster Bash ('twas all right, but not great; never got around to finishing it)

Also played Donkey Kong Country several times, loved it to bits, played DK some, but never finished it. (Hmm, am I seeing a pattern...)

Super Mario Bros, yes, played, loved.
Super Mario Kart, played, sucked.

Emulators! Roxors!

[IronParrot]

I adored Donkey Kong Country, but I never owned it, just rented it, so I was never able to get very far - maybe to the fifth world or so (the factory one).

Level 8-1 in Super Mario Bros. is a veritable marathon. Holy cow, it's long... certainly one of the most difficult levels in the game, aside from some of the castles that go on forever if you don't take the right path, and some nasty Hammer Brothers spots in World 5.

I, for one, do remember when the SNES came out. I got it when it was bundled with Super Mario World and nothing else was out. That's the kind of story I can tell my grandchildren.

I actually liked the original Mario Kart, but it was one of the few head-to-head two-player games for the NES I really got into. (The Street Fighter series is a different issue entirely.)

[Coney]

I've been installing some old SNES Roms on my friends 'puter today (got the Lord of the Rings one for her.....dunno wot it's like to play, but the kids seem to like it )

I can't believe that folks think Duke Nukem was a classic

Did none of you play DOOM!?! (now that, is a classic)

[gimli7410]

played doom on the computer but the last level is impossiblei never beat it.

[IronParrot]

Ah, Doom.

Stuck? IDDQD! IDKFA!

Wow, I can't believe I still remember that after all these years.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

And rightly so. You should get a ROM for it. Awesome game!

[Khamûl]

Now Wolfenstein 3-D... That's a classic. "Eva! Auf wedersehen!" *dissolves into a puddle of blood and gore*

[Celebréiel]

sheesh. I cant belive I forgot about Doom! That brings back memories...
Der...what are these Roms everyone keeps mentioning? *feels silly*

[Gwaimir Windgem]

There's emulators and roms. The emulators "emulate" a certain gaming system, and the roms act as the games for the system. With matching emulators and roms, one can play NES, SNES, or even N64 games on a PC.

[BeardofPants]

Yep, and atari/amiga games as well.

[azalea]

Oh, goody, another thread where I get to be an old lady!
We had one of the first Ataris, and I loved space invaders, super breakout, Pac-Man (of course), Pitfall, and the very best one -- Adventure.
Later my brother got a Sega (this would have been around '87) and had a game on it called Duck Hunt, that would play a little song each time the game would begin, and we made up these goofy moves to it.
Then video games became too complicated for me. I tried to play some Mario Bros. one at my brother in law's house a few years ago, and I couldn't do ANYTHING. I guess I just miss the good ole joysticks, that you could actually manipulate, rather than the little thumb controls (okay, no pervy jokes).
VERY early computer games: Gummer (a rip off of pac-man) and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which was, IIRC, a type of role playing game. This was around '82.

[IronParrot]

Ah, the Commodore game of Hitch Hiker's Guide! Now that's old.

As for Duck Hunt, that wouldn't have been a Sega... Duck Hunt was a Nintendo release. A lot of later NES bundles had a Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt combined cartridge. I, on the other hand, have an original Super Mario Bros. cartridge where it stands by itself.

[HOBBIT]

was the original super mario bros. for NES the same as the one made for SNES?

[Bombadillo]

No, they were a little different. Same story line of course.

To name a few I like:
Bust A Move
Harvest Moon
Dr. Mario
all Mario Bros. (of course)
Snow Bros.

I bought a Snow Bros. catridge a while ago. It was the last one the store had, and only 12 bucks. So I bought it in a hurry and brought it home and played it but couldn't get it to work. So I finally looked inside at the bottom, and found that thing was shattered. Idiot me! But it makes for a great coaster.

I can't find an emulation of Snow Bros. anywhere. Does anyone have one they'd like to send me?

[IronParrot]

Oh my God, SNOW BROS.! What a game! I remember having it for the Game Boy, and playing it all the time...

[wahine]

Mario brothers.
Frogger.
Zelda
Donkey Kong.

That's about all that remains in my memories.

I had Virtual Bart.

Bart Simpson in a time machine or quantum machine or some such.

And Zombies ate my Neighbors.

Heh.

[HOBBIT]

Well, what was the diff between NES super mario bros and SNES? The Super mario bros. i've always played is the one for SNES, and thats the one they remade for gameboy.

Like Coney, I thought you were talking about All-Stars, but on second thought you're probably referring to Super Mario World... I'm not sure, so here's a breakdown.

NES:

Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3

SNES:

Super Mario World
Super Mario All-Stars (remakes of SMB 1, 2, 3 and Lost Levels)
Super Mario World 2 (Yoshi's Island)

Game Boy Advance:

Super Mario Advance (re-release of Super Mario Bros. 2)
Super Mario Advance 2 (re-release of Super Mario World)
Super Mario Advance 3 (re-release of Yoshi's Island)
