Doom

Glory days!

Civ 4
simcity 4
Morrowind.

Morrowind is chief amongst them because seriously, I fucking love that game.

And yes, the gratuitous swearing was necessary to elucidate my point.

How young are you that a game that came out in 2005 and was supported with expansions up to 2008 is "old school".

How attention seeking are you that you get off on pointing out the small flaws in my original statement?

Check the OP, it says there's no clear definition of "old school" for the point of this thread. I'm talking about games that I have bought that weren't immediately released. I'm so terribly sorry that I don't conform to your own, perfect image in this thread, oh great and powerful Nwabudike Morgan.

You seriously consider 5 years ago old school? Wow. When I think of old school I think asteroids, missile defend, donkey kong, and all those other old arcade came that were around 20 years ago.

Dude, it's just my opinion, they're relatively old games that I still enjoy. I won't reiterate myself, so just look back to my previous posts in case my statement wasn't clear enough.

Your definition of old school is similar to people who define 'retro' as games like Super Mario 64 and GTA3.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, right? *points to OP*

I mostly play old games so I have too many to list, I only have 2 or 3 current generation games (for computer of course). I don't think of the PS2 old since I can easily find games for it, once the games drop out of circulation than I consider it old.

Hm... Does Starcraft count as an old school game since it's still being played by hundreds of thousands? If it does, then well, that's my favorite game of all time so that.

It counts if it counts to you... if you know what I mean.

P.S: liked you long informative post, made for good reading and decent increase in my old school gaming knowledge.

Hehe, I guess it doesn't really feel old school then Maybe once SC2 comes out! Fun thread btw, trips down memory lane are never wrong - at least not when it's down Gaming Avenue.

I agree and am glad you like the thread

haha either way, kudos and cookies to us in our sanity =]

this is why im pumped for this year, lots of rpg's out that im looking forward to playing

(im gonna take my first nab at a mmorpg,with the old republic, dk how long that will last though)

I tried MMORPG when World of Warcraft came out, for about fifty days I played it and really enjoyed it. After that I got steadily more bored of it until I stopped playing it completely.

I haven't been completely put off MMORPG's but I will be more hesitant before investing in one again.

I enjoyed Chrono Trigger a lot. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is awesome... And Silent Hill 1.

exactly what im thinkin will happen, this one has a shit ton of hype built up around it tho with its full voice over and i love bioware and i love star wars so hopefully it'll be pretty good (i dont have high standards so im sure ill enjoy it for what it is)

Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3, Silver Surfer, Double Dragon II, Wizards and Warriors I and Ironsword, Zelda II: THe Legend of Link, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Predator, Rollerblades, the list goes on!

Yep started on the NES I truly did begin old school, kinda makes me ashamed how most kids today start gaming.

I think the thing is, as you said "... a shit ton of hype build up..."... Actually I'm going to set up a thread about the advantages and disadvantages of hype build up... I'll send you a link when its up and going.
