Default Best and Worst Nostalgic video game

I was just talking to a friend about the games we used to play on NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, and all those old school systems. And I found some very intriging discoveries.

Funny how all the worst games I ever played with came from Sega CD. I really hated those movie games like Night Trap and Sewer Shark. They're often horribly acted and annoying. Not really much of a "game."

I feel the same way as this guy who reviewed the game.



Night Trap

Best games I played often came from the NES and Super NES

All time favorite Zelda series

haha, those are considered Nostalgic as well. I remember wanting a Coleco vision as a kid. Made up for it when my parents got me Atari 2600 instead.

I remember going to my friends after school to play Colecovision. There was this game where you were a penguin..that's all I remember.

NHL 94 was nostalgic and Super Mario 1. Worst game I ever played was ET on the Atari.

In some ways the Coleco was a better but it was very hard to find games...I remember going down to Zellers or K-Mart and looking in awe at the tons of Atari titles compared to the 4 or 5 Colecovision games in stock (if you were lucky).

There were some good games though - Cosmic Avenger, Ladybug, Mousetrap, and I always preferred the Coleco version of Donkey Kong.

For some reason my folks also bought the Coleco ADAM computer which was just an awful piece of crud.

Haha watching the Angry Nintendo Nerd brought back some memories for me.

Simon's Quest. Kneel at the lake with the pink pearl for 5 secs. How the hell are you supposed to know that without reading a hint! Haha. Oh yeah, and F13th sure was a pisser too!

I had an Atari myself, some real classics on that. Played a Coleco and an Intellivision as well. My friends had a Commodore 64, that thing was the BOMB! Always wanted to be at their house.

Without a doubt, River City Ransom and Double Dragon II. Two best games as a kid when I was growing up, I must've rented them each about 100 times.

Sometimes I still play River City Ransom.

Hell, my avatar is from that game.

Winter Olympics on the Commodore 64. Or was it summer. Whichever it was, I miss the simplicity.

Also, I wish my mom didn't toss the old Intelivision.

My friends system got fried with that game in it and all the calls made no sense except for "Penalty Shot" which sounded afterwards like "Penile Slot" We would intentionally cross check the guy in front just to hear that!

Worst game ever? Raiders Of The Lost Ark for Atari hands down. You would get to this part wear you had to parachute into the black market which was just a hole in the side of the screen and you would almost always die. Then if you did make it in your parachute would still be open, you could not move and a thief would kill you. Stupid!
