Let's start a discussion about all the old videogames that are now free. I'm trying to pick up atleast one good game to play in my freetime whenever the damn internet hates me. I'm thinking along the lines of an RPG or a good long adventure game. I'm frickin dying.
-
Old video games that are now free? As in ROMs? Haha.
Or the Wii's Virtual Console? ;) In that case, it isn't free. Hehe.
-
I started playing Legend of Mana again for no reason a few nights ago. I forgot how fun it is.

I'm talkin roms, mang. Forget the nintendo wiiner
-
I'd play old SNES roms if I had a computer to play them on. All three DKCs, Power Rangers: The Movie, Mario World, Mario Kart...basically all those old SNES classics we used to have that we don't anymore.
-

You know what's better than Legend of Mana?
Anything. >_>
No but sirrusly, any other Seiken Densetsu. Although I do like it's Terranigma-like world-changing stuff. Though Terranigma's is always set in stone instead of variable like LoM's.
Of course there aren't any left-handed werewolves, half-elvish priestesses who look totally loli, or thieves named Hawk in SD4. Wait, are there?
-
I guess now would be a good time to post some slightly obscure roms I have.
Bare Knuckle II (http://www.cross-changer.net/bk2.zip)- This is the Japanese version of Streets of Rage 2 if you didn't know. Not too much of a difference, Mr. X now smokes a cigar when you reach him and Blaze's underwear can be seen when does a jump kick. I'd imagine that second difference piqued a few interests.
Sonic Classics Compilation (http://www.cross-changer.net/soniccollection.zip)- Sonic 1, 2 and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. The difference here is that Sonic 1 and 2 have been bugfixed (in other words, a lot of bugs in those games have been fixed). Sonic 2 doesn't have the "morph into Super Sonic after finishing level" problem anymore.

Duck Fucking Hunt.
Contra.
SHINOBI.
Double Dragon.
TMNT II The Arcade Game
Holy shit, anyone ever play Heavy Barrel? That game was the shit! Then I lost it... ._.
-
Fuck yes I remember Heavy Barrel! I use to play through that shit with my friend Thomas back in the day
-
Shinobi (Arcade) was the first video game I ever played. This would certainly explain two things:
a) Why I like Sega.
b) Why I'm a fucking pimp-daddy mack master at video games.
Anyways. I'll throw some more classics up on here.
Street Fighter II- I spent three months straight playing the Genesis version. It's where I learned how to play fighters.
Sonic the Hedgehog- See above (the three months part). Amazing series of games, at least before Sega jammed a coat hanger in its uterus.
Mortal Kombat- Fuck y'all. MK is the shit, and you know it.
Samurai Shodown- Everyone need love. Do you know that it's true?
Shinobi III- This is the best game ever made. 'Nuff said.
Streets of Rage- It's fucking Streets of Rage
Beyond Oasis- Better than Link to the Past IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY.
-
Remember when movies didn't translate well into games at all? Motherfucking pieces of shit like The Karate Kid, Top Gun, Friday the 13th, Nightmare On Elm Street, Jaws, and porbably more I can't think of and probably don't WANT to think of.

LOL it's still not much better (see "Enter the Matrix")
-

Haha. It was a fun game man. Ever beat it? I could never beat it alone, and the only other person I could play with was my sister.
Samurai Shodown- Everyone need love. Do you know that it's true?
"PRAMA BRAAAAY!!!" "GO GO, POPPY!"
Streets of Rage- It's fucking Streets of Rage
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"
"GUWOOOOOOH!"

Oh shitz. Anyone remember "The Adventures of Bayou Billy"? Everyone hated that, I thought it was pretty cool... the whip and all. Haha.
-
River City Ransom.
Ooh, arcade games -- that Simpsons arcade game... and that x-Men arcade game. you know both side-scrolling beat-em-ups. My brother and I used to play both of those all the fricking time. And even before that was that Avengers arcade game but that was when I was so young I dont' even remember most of it - even my brother doesn't remember much.
Double Dragon on NES.. yeah... but remember Super Double Dragon? Awesome. Yeah SNEs era but...
OOH - Bubble Bobble.
And the two Sesame Street NES games. Yeah you heard me bitch they both fucking rule you.
But back to SNES... anybody ever play Metal Marines? That was awesome - and Metal Warriors. I found the latter while searching roms for Metal Marines - when I first loaded it up I wa slike WTF LucasArts did console games? Yes. they did. and they were pretty good apparently too. god I wish I knew.
-
I played the X-Men and Avengers side scrollers. I also remember a C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa side scroller that owned. Sadly I can't find a working emulator of it anywhere.

Did you try the title Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa? I looked for it forever and found a rom of it in a MAME section of coolrom.com methinks
-
Yeah, I found it by title, but the roms I've played of it always freeze up at a certain level.
-
Freespace 2. There is no space combat game that includes more win per kilobyte.
ROMate: You probably need the latest version of MAME. I was able to play through it no problem.
-
Last time I played it was on someone else's machine. Mine's now toast, so...yeah. Even if I did have a machine to play on, I wasn't quite able to work MAME anyhow.
-

Amen to that.
-
Grrr... fuck it. The roms arent working and I dont care anymore.
-
Remember Jaws: The Video Game for the Nintendo?
That was cool.

In case you haven't read my post earlier, it really wasn't.
I'm not going to stifle your opinion, you can like it if you want. But I found the game to be EXTREMELY repetitive.
Allow me to elaborate, if you will. Imagine just sailing around until BAM! You hit something and are forced to swim around under the water, shooting at three types of enemies max. And you get conch shells to buy upgrades. Upgrades that are USELESS until power level 9.
The three enemies? Jellyfish, stingrays (I think they're stingrays...) and sharks. And then there's JAWS, who's obviously a resized shark sprite. And unless you're power level 9, you're going to be shooting hundreds of spears at him if he hits your ship.
And the last fight is too damn hard. You have to be dead on accurate and have ungodly timing. The last fight... well, anyone remember the fourth Jaws movie? I believe it was "The Revenge?" No one remembers? You know why? BECAUSE THAT MOVIE SUCKED ASS. But I digress. The Jaws video game is based off that very movie, and the final battle with Jaws is a total ripoff of the movie. You know, ramming a ship into it.
I will admit, this game COULD have been fun. But somewhere down the line, they just went and said "let's make a game about shooting stuff underwater, then make it really boring".
Let's just face it, the game is not fun. It's one of the worst. Why? Because LJN made it!
No, seriously.

The best game featuring sharks and aquatic gameplay was Ecco the Dolphin.

Wait: are you describing Jaws, or every RPG ever made?

You don't need to level up to 9 to beat Jaws. The third power upgrade makes you strong enough so you can begin picking away at him.

How many types of enemies did Super Mario Bros. have? Four? Five, maybe?
I agree with you on one point: finishing off Jaws. I don't think the encounter is all that hard, since you don't get Game Over for failing at it; however, using the 4th Jaws' movie as the basis for the game's climax was lame. They should have used the classic sequence from the original film, where Chief Brody blows up the shark using a shotgun and an airtank. That would have been awesome.

I'm sorry, but that game sucks.
The whole idea of a dolphin fighting aliens is cool, but the game is just too damn boring and frustrating.
-
I liked the puzzles, but then again, I've always had a thing for puzzles in video games. It was very rewarding.
-
You guys can debate crappy games all you want. But all that matters is that Spaceworlder stated the facts.
Brody blowing up Jaws at the end of the first movie = Win.
"SMILE YOU SON OF A BITCH"
-
-
That fucking wins.
-
Spaceworlder's avatar reminds me.
The Jurassic Park game on SNES. THAT was a fun Movie-Game, one of few that I actually still enjoy today and don't look back to say "WTF why did I like this shit"
Jurassic Park FTW. (The first movie was one of my all time favourites, but any sequels blew more shit than a man with diarreah sticking his anal cavity into a leaf blower - Blowing end of course, and turning it on afterwards.)
-
I thought Jurassic Park III was a decent sequel to the original. The Lost World, on the other hand, was God awful.
-
Meh, I liked Lost World. Mind you the original is the best, but it was fun seeing a T-Rex rampage in downtown San Deigo. Then again the T-Rex ain't got nothing on Godzilla.

UP FROM THE DEPTHS, THIRTY STORIES HIGH, BREATHING FIRE, HIS HEAD IN THE SKY, GODZILLA! GODZILLA!
-
Lately, I've been playing me some Gunstar Heroes and Alien Soldier on my Genesis emulator. The only SNES rom I've played lately's been Legend of the Mystical Ninja(Ganbare Goemon). I remember how I went out and bought Gradius 3 after playing the Gradius minigame in the amusement park. Good times.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"
"GUWOOOOOOH!"
