Red Alert Posted 4 December, 2009 Share Posted 4 December, 2009 I was with a mate the other day and we started playing Sim City on the SNES. Brought back many many fond memories and is clearly the best Sim City of the series. Also played Donkey Kong 3, another great old game. What games do you wish they would bring back to life, or be able to play again? I would LOVE to see a version of Goldeneye with online multiplayer, keep the graphics levels all the same. Just let me play License to Kill as Oddjob slapping people to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 Why do people look back so fondly on old games? By modern standards they were terrible.

St Marco Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 Love the old games like Mercs, Streets of Rage, Rolling Thunder, Flashback, Toe Jam and Earl, Golden Axe etc.. I was playing the new Super Mario game on the wii the other day and it reminded me how damn hard games used to be compared to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 I agree with what Ponty said to an extent. A lot of people say that Tekken 2 was a quality game, but you try playing it now and it makes you want to cry, the graphics are f*cking awful. However there are some games which will just be playable for the rest of time IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 Shenmue II also came out on the original Xbox, I found it in Gamestation a few years ago (4 for £20) and completed it (then sold it for £68!). 3D games from the Playstation/Saturn era have aged terribly, but 2D games look as lush as they ever did.

Sheaf Saint Posted 31 December, 2009 Share Posted 31 December, 2009 Road Rash & Road Rash II (Megadrive) Rambo (C64) Sensible Soccer (Megadrive) Wipeout & Wipeout 2097 (Playstation) There are loads more if I can be bothered to think about them. And to Ponty I would say that although graphical capabilities are so much better now than ever before, and will obviously continue to improve, graphics aren't everything. It is ultimately how playable a game is that defines how good it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamLeGod Posted 7 March, 2010 Share Posted 7 March, 2010 Why do people look back so fondly on old games? By modern standards they were terrible. Many modern games (dont get me wrong there are some cracking games out there now) are prone to the same pitfalls as modern films. Technology simply gets in the way. All too concerned with fancy effects and explosions and ultimately lack content. Lack depth, storyline and characters. Many older games have a sense of fun and character due to the lack of technology available to makers, forcing them to look for other more novel ways to entice gamers. A personal favourite is Kid Chameleon on the Sega Megadrive. Though to be fair I have been playing this for a while with the Emulator I downloaded. Have also recently discovered it's on the Sega Classics on the Xbox along with some other gems like Golden Axe, The Streets of Rage series, Echo the Dolphin and ofcourse the Sonic games. Also worth noting you can also get copies of emulators for most consoles online now...So many of you can be reunited with your old forgotten favourites.
