Fav classic video game

I love Sonic.

 

where the fuck is Circus Charlie? I'm not voting if i can't vote charlie. this is outrageous.

 

Zelda:Link to the Past is my alltime favorite, but I also loved Ocarina of Time, Super Mario World AND Brothers. Does anyone remember Super Mario Land on Game Boy? I loved it too when I was little.

It's funny, while all of you are talking about the games you grew up on. I actually couldn't play Zelda for a long time when I was growing up because I didn't have it, it was my cousin's game. And she would freak out if I even touched the console when the cartridge was in the system. I remember watching her play the original Zelda on NES and dying to play. It was years later before I finally got my own copy, and I've been hooked since.

Other games I grew up idolizing were:

Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2
Skate or Die NES
Super Ghouls and Ghosts SNES
Super R-Type SNES

and of course

EVERY Mortal Kombat game ever made.

 

Off the list given I'd go with Zelda, I love that series. But I can't believe no one has mentioned CONTRA?!?! That game fucking owns. Try beating it with without the cheat code (only 3 lives), its intense. RBI Baseball is another favorite too.

marios the man

 

Oh Contra was the shit. I haven't seen it in forever man.

 

zelda on the 64. it's not really classic but its an awesome game

 

i really liked Starfox for the N64 and Super Smash Bros for the N64 as well, even though it might not be considered a classic.

also StarCraft for the N64 was the 1337 PWNage.

 

Starfox 64 was a good game, classic, not really, but good. Now, Zelda Ocarina of Time...definitely a classic.

 

i can hear the zelda music in my head right now

 

So can I. I have the soundtrack on my hard drive.

 

not really a classic? it's regarded by many to be the best game of all time

i concur

 

Space invaders! :d

 

............................

 

mortal kombat

 

I voted PACMAN however my favourite game is: MS. PACMAN!!!!!!! (Best game of the 80s)

 

I say CastleTransalvania :Rondo of blood is my one of my classic games also Contra III the alien wars!

 

If those are the only options, I pick Mario. I still pop it into my NES every now and then.

 

Mario 3, hands down.

call me cliche if you want to, but its the only game where I can still consistently skool anyone that picks up the sticks.

 

When I was around 10, and the Atari 2600 just came out, I used to be able to clock pac man anytime I played it. It would take me about 4 hours straight, by the end of which my hand would be frozen like it was holding the controller for the next 2 days.

Could also clock space invaders.

That should really be on a list of classics, ... as should Asteroid. imo.
