I'm an old school collector and gamer--wondered if anyone here was into that too! I see posts for Fallout 3 and stuff and haha, I just don't even know what you're talkin' about.
Currently playing Mega Man 3, Castlevania Bloodlines, M.U.L.E., Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge and Maniac Mansion.
I have about 200 old school games, most of them NES and Genesis, though I dig the SNES and GBA a lot too.
"Old school" has never died and has never ended...i still play the old games today...and i recently brought Megaman 9 and Contra 4. which are a great example of modern "old school" gaming.
I still have every system I've ever owned, myself. Don't play the older ones too much anymore, mostly because I just don't have room to do anything but keep them packed away.
i took out one of my 4 snes's and booted it up the other day so i could have a blast on pilot wings, mariokart, UN squadron and of course...a link to the past
regularly get out my megadrive and play the "strike" games...desert strike, jungle strike and to a lesser extent, urban strike.
occasionally take out the master system for a blast of alex kidd (miracle world and shinobi world) and wonderboy 3...basketball nightmare, california games, altered beast,
also playing on various old consoles
micro machines
populus
psycho fox
road rash
r-type
rampage
sensible soccer
leader board
zool
canon fodder
cool spot
F-zero
king of fighters
final fight
operation wolf
starfox
pit fighter
Old school gamer here. I started video gaming since the atari 2600 when i was a kid, like at 6 or 7 yrs old, even though it came out the year i was born..
Current old school games that i play now?, um too many to mention. I don't play 'em everyday but i turn 'em on every once whenever i feel nostalgic.
My friend downloaded and burned onto my PC hard drive like every NES and SNES game there ever was, including each games version, for me. And i also got like 50 N64 games, but that's it. I use regular control pads too. The logitech ones, meaning. They look like ps2 or 3 controllers.
But the games i always seem to play alot are:
Super mario bros., 2,3 World, 64
Contra
Double Dragon 1,2
Turok
mega man 2
Act Raiser 1 and 2, (this one especially, and love the music in it too)
Battletoads
and
Street Fighter II: Championship Edition (Sagat all the way)
Fun stuff especially while playing it on a sony bravia plasma in dolby surround sound. But then after about an hour i'd eagerly go back to the future and pop in a game like "Crysis"..

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
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 ?
