What games do you think that few people here have played from the 8-16bit era, and that they should pick them up right now?

Earthbound: Do it.
Gunstar Heroes: You missed out if you did not play this.
Megaman X series: You missed out.
Bubble Bobble: You missed out.
Super Metroid: You definitely missed out.
Kirby Superstar: What are you, deprived?
Super Mario RPG: Square didn't just make FF games you know.
Contra: Stay up all night with a friend and beat this game. With AND without the code.
Jackal: See above.

That's all I can think of. I'm mad tired now.

StarFox, mo def.

i haven't played any of those.



i'm deprived.

my parents believe video games are bad for you. ehhh.

Super Mario World III
Gauntlet.

Do you mean Super Mario Bros. 3?

Gotta love Super FX. And the talking was great!

And SMB3 was a good one, but everyone has played it. It's the highest selling game ever (not counting SMB1, which was bundled with the NES).

Omg yeah....what has happend to me?!?!?

The bolded are the ones I've played.

Bubble Bobble, no doubt.

Last time we spent the whole night trying to beat the obese bitch at the end, and we still failed.

Girls = not good at video games. =p

supermario i played, i think.

i sucked at it tho.

2-d. mmm

oh , yea , you got em all these .. well i ahven't played gunbound, gunstar, or jackal .



what about Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past ? i loved that gaem

Other than obviously everything Kryo stated

Killer Instinct : The kind of fighting game you could literally walk away from and cook a meal before a combo was over.

^ Oh man...Killer Instinct is a good one. You just gave me another game to put on my PSP.

Shinobi - game gear
Mortal kombat
Wolfenstein 3D - for the atari jaguar system
Power Rangers-WHAT?! WHAT?!, this game's hella fun on Super NES AND Game Gear especially when they get into the megazords
ALL of the Sonic games

wait, are those out of the 8-16 bit era?

OMG I LOVED Power Rangers!! Haha.

OH!!!

Turtles in Time : the greates TMNT game ever. Hands down.

Harvest moon :D
Duck hunt - for retro gangsters lol.

tetris and pacman?

omggg
Tetris was the best. i miss i had my old gameboy and tetris :'[. i should get one on ebay lol

and i sucked at duck hunt

Man I remember Kirby Superstar and Gunstar!! Those games were awesome! Earthbound was nice and weird... but that game used to give me headaches.

Anyway, I would add:

- Donkey Kong Country's (they're way better than Mario)
- Chrono Trigger
- Final Fantasy 6
- Tales of Phantasia
- Killer Instint
- Mortal Kombat
- Sonic
- Streets of Rage
- Shinobi

Also, does Neo-Geo count in that era? If so I would recommend most of their sweet games, especially Metal Slug!

TOMB RAIDER! LARA AND HER BIG ASS BAD GRAPHICS BOOBS

hahaha, ii used to play it 2 feet from the tv rofl.
but those damn ducks are still fast. lol i wana shoot the dog too. He giggles everytime i lose :(

Ok, some of these are getting out of the 8-16bit era.

street fighter!! its hella fun when ur playing 2 players

I've played everything that was listed on this page. I know a game that a lot of people don't know. Running Man, it was an old game on the NES system where your speed depends on how fast you run on your mat. It was one of the first "DDRish" games.

Hmm...I still have my Killer Instinct for SNES. In fact, I play it time to time. Wh00t, Go Spinal!

Are you referring to World Class Track Meet?

I think so, my friend told me the name is Running Man though

one of the greates SNES games ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ZERO-WING!!!!!!!!
"How are you gentlemen. All your base are belong to us !! You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time."
- Cats


hahaha worse translation EVER!!!

game itself actually wasn't that bad tho....

I beat Zero Wing

oh and for who said " isn't this getting out of the 8-bit era " [something like that]



to me: classic = perfection and there's no game like it . not old school

and i can't believe i forgot chrono trigger

Read the first post.

Super Mario RPG, mosdef.

Great game.

Lion King for the SNES/Genesis!

Meh, I wasn't a big fan of that game. But Alladin. Now that was a surprisingly good Disney game.

Alladin was great too! I still remember the level skip code for the Genesis version.

How about Zoop, anyone remember that one?

Who said Lion King?

Not a big Zoop fan either. Columns was my puzzle game, other than Tetris of course. I launched the kremlin into space!

::Raises hand::

Hey, I liked it!

And Zoop.

But I guess Im just a sap for Zoop.

Super Gouls and Ghosts, man I used to play that game for hours.

SGaG was frickin hard.

Super Mario/Duck Hunt. alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy pimpin'.

That's why I played it for hours, lol, I like a good challenge, and plus, I like all the finishing moves.

A little random but... GAME GEAR! My bf had one of those. He said that was popula back then because it had a color LCD screen (the Graphics on that thing, by the way, STILL beats the any GameBoy or DS system I've played on) Wow... the sonic game on there was awesome! Too bad I suck at games in general... *edges away*

Yay Bubble Bobble! I remember playing that at arcades.. yea I was horrible at that too. lol Gigi, I'm probably wayyy worse off.

The only game I'm remotely good at is tetris... Yea gotta love that good old tetris... With it's addictive music. :]

Anyone remember Virtual Boy? I wasn't sure if it was a flop or not, but I sure liked it.

Bionic Comando
Tetris Attack
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Kirby's Dream Course
Gradius III
Super R-Type
UN Squadron
TMNT: Turtles In Time
TMNT III: The Manhattan Project
Earthbound
Metal Warriors
Kirby's Superstar

YAH! game gear was the shit, i loved that thing. we had so many games. so many memories.... OH! SURF NINJAS! that game was awesome too. and damn right about tetris, i could play that for hours lol

I HAVE A VIRTUAL BOY! it still works too, only got i think 2 games for it. Mario Tennis and Telero Boxer. they were both great. it was weird how it was red, but it was cool how the system itself was this huge virtual-visor type thing u have to look in.

Ninja Gaiden for the Game Gear
Castlevania II Simon's Quest

I own it and Im pretty sure five games.

Mario Tennis
Teleboxer
Red Alarm
Wario somethingorother
And theres one more....crap I forget

<3 Bubble Bobble

How about the original Zoo Keeper?

R-Zone

Man, I have a whole big list from the other thread.

Mortal Kombat.
Metroid.
Zelda.
Street Fighter.
And more. I will just look at the other list.

Starfox and Zelda...I remember staying at my cousin's house when I was like 8, trying to beat "the bad guys."

Good timesss...
