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

[CosmicSpark 2,120]

I would have to say Donkey Kong Country 2 and Super Mario Bros 3

[Celtore 2,769]

Before 2000, it would either be Super Mario World or Pokemon Blue. Pokemon was the first game I really got into (and I'm still into it today) whereas Super Mario World was the first game I ever played on my parents' game console. Super Mario RPG is also pretty amazing and one of my favourite SNES games, but I only played that when I got older. I don't know if it's considered cheating because Paper Mario warmed me up to the class RPG style and that was released in mid-2000.

Hmm... tough call. I think I'd have to go with Super Mario World (never could get tired of that game ), though EarthBound, Super Mario 64 and LoZ: Majora's Mask are pretty close as well. 

[Kivil 1,721]

Anything LoZ related is my stuff. I love LoZ, Ganon, Vaati, Link, Zelda, The Great Deku Tree (rip) and all of the little guys from Wind Waker that looked like plants!

Geez, that's reaching back. I am going with Yoshi's Island because that right there is perfection.

[Lexamena 391]

Ocarina of time. Then any other loz, take your pick. 

 

Other than that, I'd say some memorable ones are marble madness, spy vs spy, dragonspirit, nba jam, man alot of original nes titles.

Some of my faves, kids today would never believe could actually entertain.

Super mario 64!  I love it truly is a classic.

[Looking Glass 197]

My favorite would have to be StarCraft and StarCraft brood war.

 

A few of my other favorites would be Centipede (first game I ever played!) Gravatar (another Arcade classic) And system shock.

 

Also a big Mario guy.

Ocarina of Time. I've grown up with that game since I was 5, still play it to this day!

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Age of Empires 2 is LIFE, SON! best RTS of all time hands down.

[Denim&Venöm 16,522]

Those would be Pokemon Stadium, Digimon: Digi World, Rampage: World Tour, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Battleship for the PC, and Darkstalkers 3. 

[Flareblood (V2) 6]

Can't decide, but I'm gonna say Legend of Zelda, 'cause that's the first game that came to my head.

[EpicEnergy 22,089]

Probably either Mappy or Dig-Dug. I also loved Alex Kid.

[Brony Number 42 9,933]

That still leaves many consoles and games. Maybe Resident Evil? I played that so many times on PS1.

[DubWolf 16,621]

Someone's on a roll being the anti grim reaper eh ?

Spyro the Dragon, Abe's Oddysee, Mario Kart/Super Mario World, those were "de deys".

I'm an old man child.

Super Mario Bros. 3

[Splashee 28,537]

Road Avenger for Sega CD

[Nsxile 25,689]

Half Life: Opposing Force, Unreal Tournament and Spyro The Dragon

[Rainbow Cloud 16,330]

Sonic Adventure, Crash Team Racing and Pokémon Snap

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

I'd have to say Final Fantasy VII, Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid. Those games define 90s gaming for me.

Honourable mentions: The Spyro trilogy, Chrono Trigger, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

[Denim&Venöm 16,522]

It's been a while. Haven't had time for any gaming until recently. But back in the day, it was Rampage: World Tour, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, the Pokemon Stadium games, Darkstalkers 3 and Gundam: Battle Assault. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,371]

Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast
