What is your favorite retro (pre-2000) video game?

[Magnify 12]

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who enjoys playing older video games, so I thought I'd post this. My favorite video game from before 2000 is EarthBound for the SNES. It's an RPG that is fun to play and is humorous at times and I was first introduced to it at the age of six, so I grew up trying to beat it even though I was awful at it. 

 

What is yours?

Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past

Crash Team Racing 

 

If I hadn't lost my copy I would still be playing it now

*bangs hands on table and chants rhythmically* Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Kazooie...

Pac-Man, cause it's the only pre 2000's game I've played, I'm so sorry

Well, my favorite retro game is Super Mario World, which is my favorite video game of all time.

 

Like I've said countless times before, I've replayed it TONS of times, and I still find it fun to play.

Super Mario Bros. 3, hands down; though Mother 2 (Earthbound) is my favorite old school RPG.  I also love the Castlevania series; Simon's Quest in particular.  I favor many classics from the NES and SNES eras to most games nowadays; I have a slow-growing cartridge collection (that used to be much larger ; _ ; ).

Pokémon and Crash bandicoot!!! :lol:

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,297]

So many choices here...

 

Okay gonna say this one because it's on my brain, one of my absolute favorite pre-2000 games is Roller-coaster Tycoon. I can never get enough of it, it is just too fun. Plus, it is one of the greatest tycoon games ever and it was one of the first. It's a shame the series has fallen so much off the radar.

 

There are plenty more I can name but I wanted to give RCT some much deserved attention.

I would say Contra, hard as but beat it when i was 10.

[cmarston1 5,952]

I would have to say Pokemon Gold and Silver versions for the Gameboy Color.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

I would say Contra, hard as but beat it when i was 10.

Super-C was / is my favorite Contra game.

I'm surprised no one said this but mine is Harvest Moon from 96! It is literally my favorite game now-a-days.

[Grepper 3,192]

 

It's kind of hard to say... I'd have to choose Donkey Kong Country.

Yoshi's Story & Pokemon Yellow the two games I first played as a child.

[galaxysquid 2,121]

The first video game I had ever played was the original Super Mario Brothers on NES. =3

 

My favorites would have to be, Legend of Zelda Link to the Past, Kirby's Dream Land and Star Fox 64! owo

[Christmasy Britty 2,553]

Pokemon Yellow i feel so old now 

[EddG 554]

Hmm either Earthworm Jim or Sonic 2...

[Celli 4,332]

Oh that's easy. I'm a huge Metroid fan, so Super Metroid is probably my favorite retro game.

Argh, still waiting on another game, Nintendo!

[A Black Circle 1,585]

I SO want to say Morrowind. Ah, screw it. I'd say Dark Forces, the best Star Wars shooter, the best Star Wars game, the best licensed game, the best DOS game, the best FPS.

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

Super Mario 64 is definitely my favorite retro video game, but my other favorite retro video game is Pokemon Stadium.

[Pastel 7,627]

Donkey Kong Country 2 (1995) or Age of Empires II (1999).

God, I feel old now. Since when did everything before 2000 become retro? Q n Q

When there was a one instead of a two and very few zeroes. Prehistory!!!
