    Baldur's Gate series was a blast.

    Genuinely enjoyed Duke Nukem.

    Raptor was fun.

    Ultima for the NES.

    Hmm, so many others >.>

    Probably one of my all-time favorites that scared the crap out of me was Dungeons of Daggorath for the Tandy Color Computer 2. It was a text driven dungeon crawler where your mental and physical health was monitored by a loud, beating heart while you played.

    It was terrifying at the time. I just found out out someone ported it over to Windows a few years ago if anyone would like to check it out.

    Legend Of Zelda! I finished Majora's Mask last week and managed to 100% it again. Now I'm working on Skyward Sword.

    I've been playing Wild Arms:Alter Code F for PS2 (it's nice to see the differences from the original) . I love that my PS3 plays all my older games (not that I've gotten rid of my PS1 or PS2). And the Wii store has older Nintendo games, so I've also been playing Super Mario RPG, and Secret of Evermore.

    I also like the Star Ocean series, and we cannot forget Dragon Quest/ Dragon Warrior! I used to pretend to be sick so that I could stay home from school to play Dragon Warrior on my brother's Nintendo....

    Lunar is one of my favorite RPGs and ive heard Phantasy Star was better but i never had a sega :( (Lunar i played on PS1 had the cloth map and everything)

    my wife just deleted my CT save file on her computer and it made me super sad :( lol


    what abotu the Lufia series anyone play that one?

    and DRMerc i always have gamerwood :)

    Lunar is also one of my favorites!! I have the cloth map box set too. Did you also play Lunar 2? I had Dark Cloud 2 but not the original.



    Right now I'm currently again playing Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. I love tactical RPG's, especially the ones from Nippon Ichi.

    I'm still in love with Final Fantasy Tactics, after all of these years. Turn-based style, and how you can customize your party members.....I really like it.

    One of my favorite games, and also probably the game I've put the most hours into! I got it for PSP as well and was pretty annoyed by the slow load times, but not even that could get in the way of me enjoying that game.

    I'm a big fan of SNES jRPGs; FFIV, FFVI, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire II... and has anyone else here played Illusion of Gaia? That game was a lot of fun.

    hell yea! I played Illusion of Gaia, I think Soul Blazer was the sequel, and Terranigma was the 3rd in the series but considered a spiritual successor? I could have it all wrong, but one thing is for sure, I miss those old types of RPGs, they had more soul to them than the current gen RPGs

    You guys are reminding me of all the games I've forgotten about! I LOVED Phantasy Star, the early FF, and Mario. My all-time old school love is Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap. I was super hyped when I found it on the WII!

    Loved that series. ALthough I wondered what made them change the way to play from a undies, hammer chucking blonde kid who skate boards, to a sword wielding hero. The music in that game was amazing as well. I loved the Sega Genesis follow up. Lion Man for the win!

    Dark Wizard for the Sega CD anyone? Truth be told. I have never played Super Mario RPG for the SNES. It's one of my Wii Virtual Games. I have played every other game after that (Paper Mario games). When Borderlands 2 is done, maybe....just maybe.

    I looked into it and it doesn't seem to be a direct sequel, but there's some crossovers? It's not really clear. I never played Soul Blazer, but I loved ActRaiser! Building the little towns, heh. Now I want to play Terranigma.

    I remember staying up hours with my friends playing that game. I always used India. Lowest health, but strongest defense and offense. The GBA version was fun too. I never had a chance to play anyone though since they never got it. Plus, the GBA had that stupid cable thing going. Speaking of GBA, anyone played the Golden Sun series?

    I could literally replay Ocarina of Time... until the end of time. So pretty much any LoZ (Link to the past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask) N64 or earlier, I could replay with ease.

    Otherwise, I love Kingdom Hearts 1-2 (though I haven't picked up KH in forever since maxing out EVERYTHING you could do), and I've been in the mind to playthrough FF7 or FFX again.

    Toe Jam and Earl Panic on Funkatron.

    For some reason last summer at work everyone (including me) was replaying pokemon on phone emus. I find it really hard to play any kind of non-rpg on my phone. I laugh at how bad I am at super mario 3.

    Yes! I loveee that game.

    My old favorites: FFVII, FFIX, FFX, the NES Mega Mans, Mega Bomberman, Diablo 1/2, Dance Dance Revolution (lol), Streets of Rage 1/2/3, Boogerman, Sonic games for the Sega Genesis, and a lot more Sega games I can't recall at the moment.

    Kirby. I have never been intersested in Kirby at all. My son, who is now 8, decided to buy a Kirby game for the 3DS e-Shop. He wanted the Kirby Anniversary collection for Christmas. I am now hooked on Kirby. I also just picked up Return to Dreamland for the Wii for $20. I wish I didn't miss these gems back in my day. Oh well, better late than never.

    Decap Attack, anyone? It was for Sega Genesis, I believe. I freaking loved that game.

    STREETS OF RAGE!

    I love all the Contra games as well.

    Being that a computer was the first system I ever had (of my very own) until I bought a Wii when I was in college...the selection of games available to me was limited by my parental units. That being said, I loved (and still use DOS Box to play):

    The Super Solver games by the Learning Company:
    - Treasure Mountain
    - Treasure MathStorm
    - Treasure Galaxy
    - Treasure Cove
    And etc. as it was an entire series. They made others (Operation Neptune) that didn't feature the Super Solver character, but were similar.

    Mixed-Up Fairy Tales
    The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary (those dolls were creepy to a 12-year-old)
    Super Muncher

    Myst
    Riven
    and etc. I am going to play through these again with my husband--he doesn't know what he's in for! I want to get Real Myst through Steam, though, and see how they've improved on the older version.
  • I'm pretty nostalgic. I've still got plenty of SNES, NES and PSX stuff. Some old favorites:

    Zelda: A Link To The Past
    Chrono Trigger
    Illusion of Gaia
    Secret of Mana & Evermore
    Earthbound
    Final Fantasy (played them all)
    Star Ocean: Second story
    Tales of Phantasia, Eternia and Destiny
    Mega Man X
    Arc the Lad II

    and probably many others I can't remember

    My first computer was a mac (don't judge it was the 80s.) Scarab of RA was a pretty sweet game. Way ahead of it's time, and shareware to boot! Not trying to sound controversial, but that game owned dying to dysentery in a conastoga wagon. Just saying.

    How old do Games have to be to be "Older Games"

    Break Out - Atari

    Legend of Zelda - NES
    Playing Zelda at a friend's house is why I asked for a NES

    Legend of Zelda Link to the Past - SNES
    Playing Link to the Past at a friend's house is why I asked for a SNES
    F-ZERO - SNES
    Street Fighter 2 - SNES

    Hang On - Sega

    Descent - PC
    First computer game that really made me say WOW when I started playing it.
    Warcraft 2 - PC


    Twisted Metal - Playstation
    Gran Turismo 2 - Playstation

    I assume any game on Xbox or PS 2 is still too new to be an "Older Game"...

    Break Out - Atari

    Ahh fond memories of fist fights with my cousins over who's turn it was to play my uncle's Atari. It was about 80/20 breakout/ donkey kong.
