[Clay.]

Which would you prefer : All time classic games (like mario, etc)
or new modern games (like F.E.A.R.?)

and Whats your fav video game?


(personally i love GTA3 and old skool mario )

 

[IWP]

I'm all aobut the classic Super Nintendo games like Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Super Punch Out, etc, and even though it may be un-hip and what not, I enjoy the first couple Pokemon game boy games (Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, and Silver).

EDIT: Shouldn't this be in the chat forum?

DOOM!!

 

[-FleshStorm]

I prefer Modern Games. I play PS3 games like Resistance, The Darkness, and Tony Hawk's P8. The GTA series are also favourites as well as old school games like Mario and Pokemon.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Old School by far.

Zork & other IF
Dune
Myst series
Civilization series
AD&D series
The Dig
Grim Fandango
Journeyman Project series
Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday
Gabriel Knight series
Callahan's Crosstime Saloon
Another World
GODS
Monkey Island series
Space Quest series

New games have forgotten how the art of gaming should always come before graphics and gameplay.

I like my videogames like I like my Death metal: OLD SCHOOL

 

[Hatebreeder]

I don't play a lot of video games, but I really liked a lot of the Playstation RPGs, particularly the FF series. I prefer old school gaming, though; since I'm always behind the times, I use the periods of hype over new systems to get acquainted with the old, forgotten stuff.

woahh! looks like people prefer the classics! nicee!

dont you think the video game industries/companies are getting kids addicted into these virtual realities. i mean, you all most probably heard of warcraft/counterstrike etc, ive seen kids play those kinda games for days with out stopping! they pratically sleep at the net cafe. its just not right to see how kids these days play games 24/7 rather than doing other benitifital activites like rocking out! and come on...guitar hero?! its kewl and all, i guess...but its certianly not the real thing! the parents would b helping ther kids alot if they actualy bought them a REAL guitar! theyd learn something new and they wont screwup their minds with virtual trash!

games are messing up the future generation, so whose fault is it?

(btw, i thought that this was the Chat forum, apparently it isnt, lol. my bad! Thanks IWP fer pointing that out)

I still prefer old school games like doom, wolfenstein, etc. altough I like the new enemy AI nowadays. It's come a long way.

EDIT: Shouldn't this be in the chat forum?

actually in the technology forum but why don't have a mod for non-metal, I've asked for one a while back but haven't gotten a reply from deron yet. Maybe if someone would second that request...

I must say I have a special fondness of old games, but all the stuff that's coming out now is really difficult to ignore. Unreals, Halflifes, Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo and tons more...you can't just stop playing them and say "I'm gonna plug my super nintendo and jump on some 2D koppas".

If new games aren't better than old ones now, the will be soon.

yeah, but it's pretty annoying sometimes

Oh well...I guess it's the price of freedom.

Rock & Roll Racing for SNES...drank a lot of whiskey and stayed up many nights playing that with friends...

Rock on!

 

[tagradh]

I don't like any really old games but nor do I like any modern ones that I have played.

Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, Civilization, Fallout, Baldurs Gate, etc FTW.

I haven't played Lemmings in years. But I prefer the newer games, because FPS games rule.

Does anyone like the Tekken soundtracks? I don't own any of them, but I was thinking about buying one of them- the Tekken Tag one. I haven't even played Tekken Tag, but I heard what I think is the arcade version of King's stage. It's a simple song, but it has this amazing, uplifting synth part in there. Anyone else heard this? Any recommendations for which soundtracks within this series?
