so my brother and i were hanging out over in his dorm a few weeks ago and we were talking about all the games we used to play when we were little. we decided to get on ebay and order an old sega that came with like 30 games...including TOEJAM AND EARL, which was probably our favorite game when we were growing up. we only ever beat it once, so we decided to get a case of beer and play it and it was soooooo fun. now we play it like once a week and we've beaten it a couple times already. that sega was only like 15 buck and definitely, definitely worth it.

has anyone else done this? and what were your favorite old games growing up that you still love to play?

After ten years of tireless playing, my friend and I finally got 120 stars in Super Mario 64. It was epic, to say the least.

anyone old enough to remember Oregon Trail?  That game was the shit.  I used to look forward to computer lab days when I was in grade school so I could play it.

Fire emblem, mortal kombat 1&2, smash 64, marioRPG to name a few. I am a real fan of retro games and am always playing them on my phone. Oh cant forget about doom, pretty sure that counts as retro about now~

Super Mario RPG is definitely one of my all time favorites. Download an emulator sometime to play that.

My dad would always destroy me at Mortal Kombat 2 for SNES...

Contra's the shit.  I totally forgot about life force.  I'd play that for hours.

Where's the Atari, Sega (before sega genesis), and Sega Saturn fans? and DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE LYNX CONSOLE????
