there's so many! and if we include emulator stuff it gets silly purely from time spent trying to complete it though: rings of power on the mega drive. flawed and devilishly hard rpg but it got its claws in me proper. shooters it's easily thunderforce iv. platformers, it'd probably be james pond 3: operation starfish. super hang on for racing games... rising up through the ranks in challenge mode was great fun and the |

1 on NES. you could probably beat that game in the course of a couple weeks with a dedicated plan, maps, and a schedule... but, i played casually (and was a compulsive level-grinder) and it took months to play it all the way through. played it for an absurd number of hours but probably only completed it a half-dozen times over the course of a couple years, before DOS games took over my focus. i think i have some crusty ancient remixes on vgmix. never got into any of the sequels is this just console, or are we allowing DOS games? because i had an NES with, like, fifteen games and then a computer and then an N64 with like six games |

i used to have an NES game called clu-clu land, and some guy at school was like "i'll trade you this game for that game for a bit" and i promptly never saw it again. it was quite good as i remember super mario world / duck hunt was my first console game ever, and much love for that, and mario 2/3 as well. however, what really took me by storm was Rad Racer 2. i have a very crisp memory of mum allowing me to rent that at videosmith when i was 6 or 7. i started playing it, then my dad, then my mum, and it was promptly the only time both my parents were ever glued to a video game with me -- and, like, i didn't have to ask, they just bought it. but, damn it, the moment never really re-occurred. can't remember either of them playing nintendo with me beyond that i never got terribly far in metroid, but it was still a solid afternoon to get as far as i could before dying; not write down the obscure glyphs to resume later. iron sword was, in retrospect, pretty trippy. mickey mouscapade was also pretty trippy mum bought me "wall street kid" i think with the idea that maybe i'd get into the idea of trading stocks and become a rich stockbroker someday, and i think that's why pretty much any kid wound up having that game i suspect. their whole business plan |

“super mario world / duck hunt ” I guess you mean super Mario Bros. Never played the first FF but I have it on the mini nes. Might give it a go. I came to rpg games a bit later as when I was a little nipper I didn’t like turn based combat. I was impatient, and how I was wrong. |

I have the James Pond Robocod game on the Amiga 500. Loves that game and it’s added to my list along with Lemmings. |

Yep awesome games! |

Ah the monkey island series! Awesome. I might add Speedball 2 to the list as well. |
||||||||
|

Excellent list. No bubble bobble though? I forgot to mention Strider for the mega drive. Played it yesterday and I’m still shit at it! Ninja gaiden 2 is a great game. |

Axelay! I remember being blown away by the graphics. |

Thank you for your input regarding music. What about games? |
||||||||
|
|

i actually only really played bubble bobble on my commodore c64 is it good on nes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got the game with the NES (and SMB) so maybe I’m a bit biased but I truly love that game. I feel the NES port was spot on. |

ya, it looks better than the c64 version. ill try it, thanks! |

i got pretty bad at video games. these days i mostly collect roms and only really play the games when friends are visiting i was pretty good at playing jump n runs. i finished super ghouls n ghosts on snes, which was an intense playthrough. when i played it recently, i couldn't pass the first level. but the kids i played the game with were even worse. games are different these days there are a few awesome shmups on md, like thunder force 3. but i don't have the patience to play them these days… another cool md shmup that you might not know the battle mania series is also fuckon ace wings of wor is cool musha is a game i actually played for longer. great game. cool boss fights |

Musha, and gley lancer are ace. Yeah I mentioned wings of war, I knew it as Gynoug. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Gynoug was great. I still have a boxed copy that I bought in a 2nd hand book store in the late 90s. Completed it on my then-girlfriend's Megadrive and then chucked it in a draw till I acquired one myself a few years later. |

My favs: Xcom - Terror from the Deep Chaos Super Mario 3 Vice Project Doom Castlevania Castlevania 3 Blue Shadow Micro Machines II Mega Bomberman Balloon Fight Balloon Kid Puyo Puyo 2 New one, but designed so from that era and runs on original hardware, Micro Mages. |

Oh I had balloon kid on the game boy! Loved it! Never played the micro machines games, I hear they’re great. Anyone remember bayou billy on the nes? Wasn’t a great game and was stupidly tough iirc. TMNT was quite hard but I loved it anyway! |

free market economics can get fucked up the pisshole with a spiky twig. how it hasn't ended with drug company bosses and their enablers getting the full dangling mussolini treatment is beyond me |

Guys! Children are being sold for labour and bad sex. But can we get back to video games and our childhoods? |

| |||||||||
|
|
🤣 Maybe you'll think twice before casting Summon Danza again. For what it's worth I like classic arcade games like Strider, Snow Bros, Bubble Bobble and a few PC games - HL, HL2, Portal, System Shock 2, and I'm starting to like Minecraft a bit |

“super mario world / duck hunt ” I guess you mean super Mario Bros. in the US, the NES was often sold as a bundle with the console, two controllers, the light gun, and a cartridge that had both SMB1 and Duck Hunt on it at once. perhaps they didn't have that deal across the pond? in any case, while i mostly played SMB, i did quite like duck hunt. i love that the light gun had a sight; when i discovered that i got much better. getting better at duck hunt was a lot more engaging than getting better at SMB, which i don't think i ever actually beat without warp. i also enjoyed walking right up to the TV and shooting the ducks from point-blank for a LOL. it's not viable as a long-term strategy, once the ducks speed up you're better off backing away from the telly a bit Never played the first FF but I have it on the mini nes. Might give it a go. I came to rpg games a bit later as when I was a little nipper I didn’t like turn based combat. I was impatient, and how I was wrong. FF1 is not a game for today. it is for when you are ten, in a time before the internet exists. if you do try, make sure you have a copy of the relevant Nintendo Power (tm) issue, as blundering around the dungeons can get quite tedious otherwise if i tried to play it again, either i would get distracted after a few rounds, or get sucked back into it completely and get little done. either way, i probably shouldn't |

we have a thred about DOS games somewhere, don't we? i remember making this list somewhere on here before i'll do it again and, perhaps, find the thred later, bump it, see how i did in comparison. i'm also lumping in some win95 games that could have been DOS one must fall 2097 jazz jackrabbit terminal velocity tyrian space quest -- 5 and 6 are the best lemmings simcity 2000 wolf3d, doom, quake pickle wars the incredible machine + 2 hunter hunted space cadet pinball of the realm II for win 3.1 searching for castles i came across . i'm not sure why i remember so crisply, as i only played it for a day or three it's awesome how much of this archive.org has set up and organized. i should probably donate or something |

i only had an snes at the time, but recently discovered the streets of rage 2 & 3 soundtracks on genesis, i might have already posted this remaster not sure if the dl links still work been playing super castlevania iv, favorite track/stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzXtYhCoTpM i think my fav snes games were probably mode7 games like mario kart and pilot wings. yoshi's island is pretty good. oh harvest moon was good, played it on emulator. one snes game that i discovered recently and might check out is act raiser 1&2, looks like a weird genre mashup |
