BellaOnline Forums Computers Computer - Console Gaming Help Favorite Vintage System / Game?

I was a huge NES fan as a kid. Some of my favorite games were:

Mario Bros (1, 2 & 3)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
Tetris

What about you -- favorite system? Favorite game(s)?

I don't really have a favorite system, but I do have fond memories of the NES. We didn't buy a lot of games so we played a lot of Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda. I also remember being pretty good at Duck Hunt.

There is a vintage system called "Intellivision" and I loved the poker game on there. The dealer had shifty eyes and everything. It was pretty cool.

I also enjoyed the Sega system with Sonic the Hedgehog and Joe Montana's football.

N64 isn't really vintage yet but I loved that system and still have it.

I wanted an N64, but by then I was married and my husband has never been much of a videogame guy. Yeah, we're bucking the stereotypes in my house -- I'm the gamer :-).

The only Sega system that I have owned was the Game Gear and I played Sonic on it. That game was SO hard! I don't think I ever got past the 3rd level. It felt so different to me after playing the Nintendo and the original Game Boy. The way Sonic sped through the loop-d-loops felt very fluid.

I'm showing my age here -- haha -- but I used to love playing Galaxians! Tetris is a favorite of mine, too!

I think that for me, a list of what games I wanted that I DIDN'T get would probably be longer :-). The one that stands out is the Sega Dreamcast. I only wanted it because I wanted to try the Seaman virtual pet game.

You can probably get a Dreamcast for like, twenty bucks now, though!

How could I miss this thread?! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Sega Genesis. I still have it and it works. My favorite game to this day is the first game I ever got on it. Streets of Rage 2. Love that game! I never owned a Sonic game on the genesis but I have it on my Game Gear (still have this too and it works). I beat Sonic for the first a few years ago. I still have my original Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, and Sega Saturn. They all work. The games now don't hold my attention like the vintage games for some reason idk why.

I'm fascinated by the plot lines of modern games but I can't play a lot of them because the 3-D perspective makes me sick to my stomach. I can watch someone else play them but I can't play myself. I do better with a top-down or side-scrolling view. That the main reason I stick to old PC adventure games or casual games like Diner Dash these days.

Great thread!

The NES and Dreamcast were my favorites from the past!

With the NES, it was Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, Excitebike, and Zelda.

With the Dreamcast, I loved the Virtua Tennis.

I have a Wii now, and love that I can enjoy some of the old NES games from way back when, lol!
