Any old school players here?

If Retro is for the Snes/Sega Era and further back

Just wondering, If you play the old games on the compilations (Capcom Classics Collections, Midway Arcade Treasures etc) for the PS2 and whatever else that has them are they still Retro ?

Depends if they have been modified or kept in tact, even then I'd say no since they are ports onto a disk and not the actual game cartridge designed to be played on the old home systems, but that's just me (maybe being a little pedantic there.)

For me its

SNES - Art of Fighting , Mega Man X , SNES Empire Strikes Back , SNES Star Wars , SNES Return of the Jedi

PC - All of the Old X-WING \ Tie Fighter Series , Quake II , Doom , Star Wars Rebel Assault Duology , Serious Sam The First / Second Encounter , (I Consider the year 2003-4 to be the end of old school gaming for me)

I would, I mean, they're still the same game.

Oh, I also play Quest for Glory. All except for V, because I hate the battle system.

Tetris, forever and always

Tetris can tear relationships apart, much like Settlers of Catan.

I'm an old school player. I not only like to play old school fighting games from the 90s, but I also still play some NES games. Luckily, I got some of those games downloaded to play on my Wii, as I miss playing them back when I had my NES and SNES systems.

I play games like:

Street Fighter 2 (all versions)
Mortal Kombat 1,2,3
World Heroes (got the collection. Ha!)
Super Mario 1, 3,
Super Mario World
Super Mario RPG
Mario Kart 64
Mega Man
Zelda
Donkey Kong Country
Sonic
Final Fight
Streets of Rage
Punch-Out!! (both NES and SNES)

I even still got my N64 and Dreamcast.

I can't believe I forgot to mention that.

You do know there's actually 3 Punch out games.

Thought old school meant stuff from Atari n shit.

Only two for the consoles (with an upcoming third one).

I'm surprised as well...technically Punch out, technically not. mmm

Power Punch 2? 😘

It tried to be Punch-Out but nah! ❌

My favorite N64 game bar none was Starfox 64, which was also the first game I got for it, along with Super Mario 64, another great game.

Star Fox 64 upset me. I guess I'll just always prefer the original...

I never cared for the original, but I loved SF64.

pit fighter

I found my old Atari Lynx the other day, Pit Fighter was one of my favourites, along with Batman and Hockey w00t

But one of the buttons doesnt work, and I'll be damned trying to find a new one or get it repaired....

getting it repaired would probably be really cheap at any electrical repair shop...the circuit boards are really simple and generic and if it's a button it's probably just a connection

yes but i simply dont have teh time to play my retro games anymore. will be tempted to sell tell the truth. got a nes, snes, mega drive, master system, saturn. my snes will be sorely missed... mario kart, all stars, and super mario land were the true classics. but, money and space is a nice thing to have.
