I have emulators for snes, genesis, sega cd, 32X,nes, gameboy, all the old ones and the classics.

I just recently found my old 32x and was pissed that I was missing a crucial cord. So I found an emulator, and the roms of all the ggood ones(AKA Knuckles chaotix)

My all time favorite old games are...

Mario 3-NES

Sonic 3-Genesis

Sonic and Knuckles-Genesis

Sonic Spinball-Genesis

Kirby-NES

Sim City-SNES

 

Too many to list here, but that's a sample;)

Emulators ARE legal, as are ROMS, but as long long as you own the original copy of the game. If you don't own it you are not supposed to keep the game longer than 24 hours on your HD. So better be careful about what you post, you don't want trouble, dou you?:p

Nah, thats bull****. Read the Video Game Manuals. You may not copy this, even if you own the game. Therefore, roms and emulators are Illegal. Lets not go off topic, start a flame war, and get this thread closed now. ;)

Gens, where have I found the site for downloading that thing? The name rings a bell.......

 

 

But anyways, I kind of had a thing for Street Fighter 2: Championship Edition back when I had a Sega, and I also happen to have a copy of Mortal Kombat 4 for the PC (never play it anymore), and I still happen to have Batman Returns, Sonic 2, Earthworm Jim, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Mortal Kombat II for Genesis as well.

 

*sighs* My, those were times. Wish I could relive those days..........

The emulators are not illegal. But the roms for them are.

 

That said, I still bust out the old-school games every once in awhile. I've got emulators for NES, SNES, Genesis, and Atari and just about every worthwhile game for each system.

 

As far as the PC goes, I still bust out the old TIE Fighter, X-wing, Dark Forces, DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, etc.

 

If you guys want a rare PC classic check out System Shock 2. It's not old old, but it's been long enough for the game to have been forgotten. Probably mainly because its developer, Looking Glass Studios, is out of business. But this is hands down the freakiest damn game I've ever played. Screw stuff like Resident Evil (which really isn't all that freaky despite what people claim), or the Silent Hill series (which actually is a pretty good contender). System Shock 2 is by far the best thriller I've ever played.

 

You wake up on this ship and you have no clue what's going on. The ship was supposed to be a test vessel for faster-than-light speeds. Apparently you volunteered for some experimental and highly illegal cybernetic surgery as some last-ditch effort to save the ship from whatever unfortunate fate has befallen it. The only problem is that the memory restoration in the medical tank you're in failed just as it was restoring the past two or so weeks of your memory. Thus your cluelessness as to what's befallen the ship. All you know is that there's blood, and dead bodies all over the place. A few poeple have hung themselves. You find one body sitting against the wall with a shotgun sitting upright in his lap. It leans against his chest and the barrel is pointed upwards. Where his head used to be is just a bunch of buckshot and a blood spatter on the wall. If you find anyone alive, you find them just getting killed.

 

But out of all the thriller-survivor games out there, this one does the best job of making you feel tiny, insignificant, and alone. There's no mega killing weapon that you can pick up near the end of the game. You never get that invincible feeling. You do have a mysterious ally to help you out over a comlink for about half the game. But you never meet anyone in person that's alive. You just find old logs and e-mails of doomed people talking about things they've seen, or things they'd planned to do to fight for their lives (clues for you to finish what they'd started if you want to live, because they're too dead to do it now). Its a pain in the ass to find enough ammo so you're left conserving your shots and shooting straight and accurate. And crap jumps out at you from no-where. Even worse, the enemies have the capability to open the doors on their own, and if you decide to run instead of fighting, they'll chase you down. The only way to escape them without killing them is to go up to the next deck. See, the game isn't divided by individual levels. You're on one ship, divided up by it's different decks. Engineering, Medical, Hydroponics, Command Deck, Recreational Deck, etc. You have to go back and forth to accomplish various tasks. And the enemies have free roam of each deck.

 

But what puts you on edge so much is the fact that you can hear them in the next room, or above you, or below you. You don't know where it's at. You just hear ominous footsteps, and a creepy inhuman voice that says things like "Your flesh betrays you!" "You cannot hide forever! We seek! We find!" They hunt your ass down, and you'd better have the ammo to take it on. You'd better find it, before it finds you or else you won't see it coming.

 

Yes, good stuff. Good stuff.

I use to have a Matel Intelevision game with several games and those replacable key pad templates which display what keys worked for different games, I also had an old Atari box thing. Mario and Mario 2 whatever they were called. Some computer geek wanted them a few years ago, so I sold them, I have no idea what they are or were worth. an Atari with 2 games, and a Matel Intelevision with 9 games something like that. old dusty and looking well old. he gave me $125.00 for them. and since they had no value for me and I was eventually going to sell them for nothing at a garage sale, I said okay. they were neat to play and bring back certain found memories of childhood and all, but I like playing the games they make now a days much more.
