AKallday,

Is that a poker reference as your username?

[GeraldRose]

Gotta love big slick, or Anna Kournikova. Looks good but never wins

Favorite movie quote from Rounders:

"in the poker game of life, women are the rake....the mother#!cking rake!!"

Old school here.

Real arcade video games. Galaga, Dragons Lair, MACH 3 (how many here can remember this game), Battle zone, centipede, Dig Dug, Robotron 2084, Sinistar.

PS1 & 2. Gran Turino series, GTA series.

Sega Saturn. Midways Greatest Hits, Andretti Racing

Nintendo NES. Mario Bro 3

Atari 2600. Pitfall, Missile Command, Pacman, Donkey  Kong (and Jr)

Still have all my old consoles (and a working Apple //e).

Dont care for the new games (not a FPS fan other than GTA and occasionally Medal of Honor series). One problem I see with new video games is they are more concerned with graphics than the game play itself. Games from back in the early days you could keep playing for hours on end. Ones now you can get bored with within 15 min.

Man, there are so many great older games out there.

I remember spending hours playing Myst on my PC when I was younger. That one was kind of obscure and different.

As for console games, my two favorite video game series' of all time are Mega-Man and Zelda. The originals of both really stand the tests of time, and I still replay them once a year or so. I really like their SNES counterparts as well, the Megaman X series, and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Classics all the way.

Agreed, older games are actually sometimes alot better than most newer games, sure they don't have the 3D HD realistic graphics that we have now but honestly if you play video games not just try to 1up the next guy  then you don't care about the graphics. Gameplay in the old days was all that mattered.

E.V.O. Search For Eden,  Joe and Mac,  Zelda (any of them),  Mario (any),  MegaMan (any),  Dragoon,  Zombies Ate my Nieghbors,  Act Raiser 1 and 2,  Battletoads,  Blackthorn,  Chronotrigger, Clay Fighter,  Cool Spot,  Aladdin,  Donkey Kong,  Earthbound,  Final Fantasy (all),  Lemmings,  The  Lost Vikings,  The Power Rangers. 

These are a bunch of the old games I used to love I still play them from time to time when im not at work.

I still bust out my Atari sometimes. I find it funny, hooking it up to my 50" plasma...

Combat Tanks, Mrs Pacman, Frogger, Ski, Enduro, Centipede, Pinball... classic. All of them.

Mr. Bones for the Sega Saturn in which you play the skeleton of an old blues musician who meets a blind Ronnie Montrose in a shack after escaping the evil skeletons in the graveyard and then uses his guitar to turn back the evil tide and defeat the vampire DeGhoulian.  Gameplay includes platforming, rhythm games, on-rails shooter, playing guitar, and eventually, beating a boss by constructing jokes with the phrases you have available.

Dungeons of Daggorath for the TRS-80 Color Computer - a first person dungeon crawler with text command input.  The two greatest things about it were that enemies would get louder as they got closer to you, and your heartbeat was tied to your health.  You had a constant heartbeat that would get faster as you performed actions, too fast and you would faint or die. The more enemies you dispatch, the more actions you could do.  The game has now been emulated for windows.  Check it out.
