Paperboy is up there for me.
I'd actually love to see an indie game version of it for current gen hardware.

Mega Drive and Mega CD for me. Streets of Rage 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Road Avenger and the other FMV games on the CD. I had a Mark1 Mega Drive/CD combo and I loved that so fucking much, I wish I still had it, but I sold when money was tight.

If we are talking about old games, the best on C64 were Flimbos Quest and Raid Over Moscow.
Flimbo looked and sounded amazing and RoM had such variety in its levels that it was incredibly impressive.

warhead for me. Weird little space game but atmosphere like nothing I'd played before
we're the ones that when we get to the old peoples home will be upgrading the wifi and getting arcade machines put in instead of cribbage boards
Hey, I'm early 30's! I can wield my zimmerframe like a martial artist I want to!
I started my gaming journey on the Atari 2600 (specifically an Atari 2600 Jr that me and my brother got given by a family member who didn't use it anymore) but I was too young to really get it other than using to play Space Invaders and Centipede, I knew it was fun though.
Then was the Master System which was the first time I played anything with real depth like Golden Axe Warrior (a very good Zelda clone) and Alex Kidd they hooked me in big time and after that the Mega Drive which became one of my top 5 systems all time, even now.

In theory but in practice we will all be thrown into a cupboard and checked in on every week or so by the one 16 year old they hire to manage 500 old people in the collapsing nursing home built with crumbling concrete.
Flimbo is incredible. I think I had it on cartridge.
Oh god the music. Up there with Myth and Supremacy's OST's.

I liked all the Thalamus games like Retrograde and Creatures, too. The latter's trap levels were frustrating but great. God they were so, so hard.

I'll be the one making the poor bastards cart in heavy CRT's to my room and set up a cabinet with all the old consoles I've kept over the years. Have mercy on their backs, by the time we're their age the TV's will be seamlessly integrated into the walls probably, so actually physical freestanding TV's will be a novelty by then.
The igniter is broken on mine so I've had to use a candle lighter to light them for about 2 years lol
I work with and interact with 18-21 year olds constantly, so I kinda love where this thread is heading for making me feel younger.
Anyway, best gen was the 5th gen; PS1 era. MGS, FFVII-IX, an absolute mountain of RPGs, loads of kart racers, Spyro, Crash, Tekken, Hogs of War, Tomb Raider and Tony Hawk's. Absolute class.

I got my Miyoo Mini+ and loaded it with every game ever made, up to and including PS1. It's amazing what these little things can do. The world is my oyster!
And what have I been playing ever since I got it?
It's not the best version of Tetris. It's not even the best version of Tetris on the Game Boy. But the nostalgia factor is overwhelming.
I'm gonna play Final Fantasy 6 next, when I can be arsed. Got a bunch of 8- and 16-bit console stuff to play as I missed most of it (Speccy and Amiga kid).

Pretty sure piracy talk isn't allowed on here.
Didn't even know, have they even been promoting it? Are they still doing the five episodes a week thing or is it a different format?
All this 'gaming peaked' stuff from people my age and younger makes me feel *really old*. So thanks for that.
It hasn't peaked :P
Space Quest isn't even the best Space Quest, let alone the best adventure game. Heck, a better one came out less than a year ago!
I'd much rather be playing next month's new releases than to be back playing Amiga games.

I do love all the retro handheld consoles and watch lots of videos on them (I know the Miyoo is one of the highest regarded) but as someone who works from home and doesn't go anywhere, I simply have no need for them.I got my Miyoo Mini+ and loaded it with every game ever made, up to and including PS1.

I instead got a series X and set it up for emulation and the wife got me an external 10 TB HDD so I could hypothetically store everything ever up to the Wii if I was into that sort of thing.
Best thing is being able to play PS1 games in 4K on Retroarch with the settings that correct the wobbling effect on PS1 games which makes a huge difference in games like MGS.
Only 4 eps a week. It's front and center on Prime today but if you weren't following it I don't think there has been a huge amount of fanfare.
Mike and Jane are both in it currently.
I was in my second ever full time job by that point and had already finished two year long college courses a few years before.
Because I can't give away my true age, one of my favourite games from my teenage years is Resident Evil 2, the original not the remake obviously.
That's the opposite of what I'd do. I'd want maximum wobble, and a filter that makes the 4K TV look like a CRT. But yeah the Xbox looks lovely for emulation. No hacking or owt, just whack it in dev mode.
Nah I'm all for getting rid of the wobble and making things look as good as possible. Vagrant Story and FF9 looks so much better with all the bells and whistles turned on.
But yeah I did have it in retail mode but after they took that away I just set up Dev mode.
Indeed. He was MVP of the final week up to it's cancellation too.
I've turned on screen ghosting for Game Boy games to make it more authentic. But what I should do is turn off the backlight so I can only play under a lamp or in direct sunlight.
I remember trying to play in the back of the car at night, using streetlights.
Christ, the nostalgia I felt in that sentence just hit me like a train.
I paid £35, and don't see a handheld with a proper d-pad, that plays everything, as a novelty. But if you're not into retro games at all I can see why you'd think so.
I bought from Temu the day before the "don't use Temu they're stealing all your data" stories hit.
Never had that one.
I would say I'm surprised as we had hundreds of games but C64 had so many that trying to find a complete list that features all the games I loved is very tough.
I'm going to make it clear that I'm the baby of the thread by saying my first system was the game boy pocket, and I had the Star Wars: A New Hope game for it. I spent countless hours trying to beat that thing.
Blast from the past time, did anyone else here play Werewolves of London? I played it on the CPC464, but I'm sure it was available on Spectrum and Commodore as well.
I loved it especially the fact that it was a very early example of open world game design.

I will have to remember to give it a try.
The first I owned was a C64 which was pre-owned but my nan owned an Atari so I used to play that if we went there.
I was always a little behind with games machines compared to some friends because we were poor but I would eventually get one second hand or through someone we knew etc.
