Xenogears!!! I even still have my Brady Official Strategy guide as well! But I'm STILL on the last disc, and haven't beaten it fully yet! 
But I still can do infinite combos w/ my gears now too!
Oh Yeah bro, Xenogears ROCKS!!!

Oh yeah! The original Castle Wolfenstein was a great game! I just played it about six months ago (using DosBox). It was way easier than I remember it being, but still fun.

If you think Diablo > Diablo II, then you might enjoy Torchlight. It's almost an exact Diablo I clone (right down to the identical music), and it was made by the same group of people who made Diablo I. But it is a 2009 game, and has updated graphics for modern technology.

2. Galaga
3. Dig Dug
4. Centipede
5. Elevator Action
6. Punch Out (Mike Tyson)
7. Gaunlet
8. Rampage
9. Tron
10. Tapper

lol at Gauntlet.
"Elf needs food badly!"
"Welcome, Valkyrie!"
"Elf shot the food!"
"Players' shots do not hurt other players. --Yet."
"I'VE NOT SEEN SUCH BRAVERY!" <-- loudly, after all but one player have been killed, so people will put more coins in and 'help out'
Yummm.
Galaga.
Xevious.
Vanguard -- with the backing music Queen "borrowed" for Flash Gordon.
Ahh, the good ol' days.
After I win the lottery, one of my projects will be to assemble an arcade full of old, classic, lovingly restored arcade games and just charge $5 for a few hours' free play.

BTW Have you tried MAME?
Check out some of the custom MAME cabinets out there. Someday, I will build one.
God of War 1/2/3(currently playing)
Mechwarrior 2/4
Bioshock
Tetris
Diablo I/II
Doom/Doom 2
Duke Nuke 'em
Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate 2
Neverwinter Nights
Gemstone III
Mechwarrior 2/4
Bioshock
Tetris
Diablo I/II
Doom/Doom 2
Duke Nuke 'em
Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate 2
Neverwinter Nights
Gemstone III
Pellaz
Tigron of Immanion
Easily explained. $5 "cover," and all the arcade games are set to "free" play, no quarters or tokens needed.
Yep, and it practically MAIMed my old 'puter. As I recall, a registry restore was needed then.
Having said that, a custom MAME cabinet would be really cool...but I'd want the original controls, too. BattleZone without two control sticks would be...weird.

thanks for the referral!!! I downloaded the demo and was absolutely HOOKED. Went out yesterday and picked it up for $19.99. Fantastic game. Heres the trailer:

I did not like these games at all. Perhaps it's AD&D's difficulty of combat -- you have to rest after almost every fight, especially if you're a magic user (I HATE the way AD&D rules treat magic), and the level of micromanagement is ridiculous, particularly in BG. Perhaps it's the sparseness of loot, especially in NWN -- I never feel rewarded for what I accomplish. Or perhaps it's the fact that I was promised some real moral choices to make in the story line, and was let down -- almost every dialogue contains a "good" and an "evil" path, and these are always pretty obvious.
In BG, I was annoyed by the fact that I could not play at my own pace and accomplish objectives on my own timetable. I was constantly hounded by party characters to go and solve "their" quests, to the point where they would leave my party and take my gear with them! I am someone who likes to complete as many quests as possible, and this was not feasible in BG.
In NWN, there is also the issue of the FUCKING HORRIBLE henchman AI. If you have a magic user for a henchman, he/she always burns his/her spells on easy monsters for no reason. If you want to use magic properly, you have to play a magic user, and take a fighting character for your henchman.
For modern RPGs, I much prefer the likes of The Witcher. It uses the same engine as NWN, but the plot is much more engrossing, the world is a darker/grittier/more inhospitable place, and the action is not broken up by the constant need to rest and re-acquire spells. The moral choices you make are actually difficult and require thought (often forcing you to wrestle with two equally "evil" courses of action). Combat is largely action-based instead of strategy-based, but there is still strategy involved. The level of micromanagement is whatever you decide it is -- you can choose to be extremely involved with the item-crafting and ingredient-harvesting system, or you can just fight your way through the game, buying whatever you need along the way from merchants.

We've uploaded two songs from the "GAME ON" album at this link:
http://www.officialvangough.com/
The song "Simon's Revenge" is a tribute to the game "Super Castlevania IV" from the Nintendo Entertainment System (the game was originally released in 1991). The song ambitiously combines five different songs from the game into one.
The song "Corneria" comes from the "Star Fox" game - also a Nintendo game, dating back to 1993. This song is quite the action-packed game-soundtrack that should appeal to all game-freaks out there.
Right now you can pre-order the "Game On" album at [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Game-Vangough/dp/B003BWN52E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1270813621&sr=8-3"]Amazon.com[/ame] - in a couple of days the album should also be available through other sources, such as CDBaby, The Laser's Edge and more.

Sorry, I never played any computer games (except a bit of Pong and PacMan years ago), so I didn't know there was any difference btw Nintendo and Super Nintendo
