The retro gaming thread

golden axe

**** YES

I love GA!!

Golden Axe ftw! Didn't like the sequels so much though ¬_¬

They took away the awesome axe-thud sound - that's my only reason XD

Streets of Rage is another favourite of mine, I've only played the original myself but seen gameplay of the second on a Let's Play and it looked pretty good.

Gameboy count as retro? - the original chunky grey one?
If so, did anyone here play "Rescue of Princess Blobette"? I've yet to find someone who has ;O

The original gameboy is retro a game i remember having fun with was Godzilla and Dr Mario

I'm still surpised about how much of a jump Super Mario Land 2 is to Land 1. Land 1 is a bit, eh, low fi for my liking.

Though to be fair, there were several years between the two games. 6 Golden Coins was the last 2D Platformer Mario appeared in until New Super Mario Bros, IIRC. It's a very good one at that.

C64 has some great games from the past...

How about C.R.E.A.T.U.R.E.S.? I have that installed too..

Some of you old timers may remember this, I certainly did and I googled it to confirm my memory.

Yie Ar Kung Fu - Ring a bell to anyone here? My greatest opponent which I could never best was Pole. That man oozed with fetid cheese attacks. Once he entraps you with his all out cheesyness assault game over

I vaguely remember playing it on the Spectrum, but definately played on the C64.

Do we have any old worn out veteran gamers who remember this game?

===============================================

Saturn-
Guardian Heroes - I wish they would bring this out again.
Loaded, Killer Instinct (heh), Samurai Shodown (another classic), Virtual On and Virtual Fighter

*sigh* If I only I could go back in time to relive those SEGA and early Nintendo days.

Amiga-
Ninja Spirit, Speedball 2, Armageddon, Silk Worm, Kick Off - to name a few great games

Yoshi's Island wasn't really a traditional Mario Platformer, and was only labelled as SMW2 outside of Japan, I believe.

Save Chaz ASAP? is that where he got his screen name =)

Eh. Why spring up with Yoshi's Island, when Warioland is around as well. That's even subtitled 'Super Mario Land 3' right?

Nope, they don't count
