Default Favorite old school system/games

What is your favorite old school system? Atari? Do you still like some of the older games where you only had black and white with minimal graphics? Or even some of the other games like Centipede?

I still love the Original Nintendo Entertainment System which came packaged with Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt, the very first FPS hunting sim i can recall which was infamous for the dog which laughs very much like Muttley from Dick Dastardly fame but infuriated anyone who missed the ducks.



It's too bad the 'light gun' couldn't have evolved into the PC Gaming age, perhaps then Games like Deer Hunter 1-5 and up would be more realistic and maybe eliminate the real thing. or add realism to FPS games today.

Donky Kong and Zaxxon on a ColecoVision. I was pretty good at it too.

Used to love playing Zaxxon on the Coleco. That and the Smurfs were my 2 top games. Coleco still makes handheld games believe it or not http://coleco.com/games.html

My favorite is the Super Mario Brothers. I had it finished a dozen times before but it seems that I couldn’t get enough of it.

Super Mario 3 on the NES was one of my favorites. I grew up the the Atari 2600 though. I still have a soft spot for some of the games.

I always liked Zelda on super nintendo. Just talking about this makes me want to go dig up my super nintendo to see if it still works.

I like the original Nintendo version though they might have poor graphic quality when compared with the current ones. Playing Super mario in those systems kindles my sweet experience of playing games during my young days.

back when beating your friend's high scores superceded winning the entire game.

Back then games were fun whether you won or lost. now it's all about beating x games which makes you popular in gaming, which is where i lost interest.

My favorite is Family Computer! Does anyone of you know the game Final Fantasy? If you want to know where it all started you should have a family computer.
