Was installed on a SyQuest Disk, and played on Apple's MacOS 8~9. Before that? Math Mountain and Bolo.

I also played some Zeliard on a Zenith 386 I purchased in middle school.

I played too many PlayStation games too count. But Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is pretty much burnt on my mind (I have tried the first 2 as well, but 3 is the best)



That and Twisted Metal 2:



If you used to own a PlayStation and don't know these games, then you're lying

SNES games. Mainly Super Mario World, All-Stars, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country 1&2 I still play these games often, they are great!

For me it was countless hours at the local arcade popping coins into this:

And then later on got myself the C64 version.

Yep! on Amiga and Atari ST

My faves from then were 'Captain Blood', 'Xenon 2', 'Robocod', 'Magic Pockets', 'Yo! Joe' and 'R-Type'.

Happy days!

It was all about Sabre Wulf for me:


That and Jetpac on my Spectrum, or Paradroid and North and South on my mate's C64.

Nice Spectrum picks mate. Jetpac was one of my favourites too, along with Atic Atac, Into the Eagle's nest and of course Canyon Warrior

georgelappies, I still play it. Got the Gameboy Advance, SNES, Mega Drive and Master System variants.

I should point out that I'm a small retro games and consoles collecter with a small but nice collection of a few hundred games total, so I still play these games on the original machines every now and then . Off the top of my head now, I'll just name a few
ANY Ghosts 'n Goblins
Metroid Fusion on Gameboy Advance
Gargoyle's Quest on Gameboy
Gremlins II on Gameboy and NES (huge fan of the movies too)
Ninja Gaiden III on the NES
Monster Hunter on PS2 (not sure if it qualifies as retro yet, but it's my absolute favourite PS2 game)
Final Fantasy I and II
+ a ton of Japanese only SNES and Gameboy games

I really can't list them all, I have dozens of favourites. I'll just come back to this thread when I play something.
