The original Batman on NES was awesome. That cape animation was untouched in it's day!

But my all time favorite retro game is ... SINISTAR!!!! "Beware I live!!" "I hunger!"

Man, talk about getting freaked out when walking down the halls of a dim arcade.
 
The ones I can remember:

The Legend of Zelda
Kid Icarus
Metroid
Metal Gear
Akari Warriors
Mega Man
Rygar
Simons Quest
Ghost & Goblins

Genesis:

Alterd Beast
Phantasy Star
Rambo

SNES:
A link to the past

Eh, Can't remember anymore..
 
Contra was cool. Galaga has billions of my quarters.

But nothing compares to standing in front of an original Asteroids or Pac Man game....

....wearing parachute pants and listening to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" playing on the hi-fi. :)
 
I've always loved the Pac Man table games with the plexiglass top so you could play a killer game and eat at the same time.
 
You people are babes in robes.

You want retro? Zaxxon on the ColecoVision. M.U.L.E. on the Commodore 64. The original Combat on the Atari 2600, with the guidable tank shells. Genius! If you got hit, did you explode? Crash? NO! You spun, and then kept going!

K. C. Munchkin and Pick Axe Pete on the Odyssey 2, not to mention the two very best games of that generation of home video games, The Quest for the Rings and Conquest of the World.

How about all the great Electronic Arts C-64 games? Skyfox?

And krestofre, 100% agreed on the original Batman NES.
 
Jubal - Well, if we're going to go that far back, then why not just say PONG. The greatest game EVER!!! And before that? CHESS. Some oddly shaped stones on a patterned table. Explosions? Lasers? PHUEY!!! Give me a Bishop and two Pawns and I'll take your King in 3 moves!!! Oh, And if you know the cheat codes you can make all your chess characters move like Queens. :)

Most of those games came along after the original Kong. But I agree--a great selection!

The Commodore 64 was the unsung game machine of our time. I spent countless hours popping 5 1/4" floppies into my 1541 disk drive. Blue Max....Choplifter...Infocom's Planetfall. Anyone remember ARCHON? That game was awesome (chess in live action format).

I was never a big fan of Intellivision (as an Atari guy) but had to concede its technical superiority. Those George Plimpton commercials were classic.

Here's a site for C64 fans:

Wow! You got to play with actual equipment? All I was given was a stick and a piece of string and I had to entertain my self for hours ...

Seriously - I loved that Comie 64, I wish I had hung on to that :cry: , oh well, I still have my NES with all the Mario games, and tetris ... :thumbsup:
 
Bah was everyone but me playing consoles? My first was original PS; only PCs before that.

Manic Mansion/Day of the Tentacles, Police/Space/King's quests, Street Rod... No fancy cartridges, just floppy disks and DOS :undecided
