So just bored, taking a break from studying and continuing up on the FF7 replay that i started up two weeks ago. Basically, FF7 has never been my top 3 games of the series (my list is 10, 8, 6 in that order), but had a few cousins over for a wedding, and was watching over a few of em. They got tired of LBP2 and getting their asses beat by Galactus (mvc3), and they don't want to watch anything on netflix, so i just look for a random DVD in my room and dust off ff7 Advent Children lol. They don't know wtf is going on, but watching it made me feel like replaying ff7. So yea here i am. Replaying it brought back some good memories (and some not as shocking now surprises like end of disc 1). Right now on disc two where Cloud gives black materia to Seph (again) and Tifa/Barret are about to be executed by Shinra.

And when i thought i would beat ff7 and that was it, i drunkenly dl'd an SNES emulator+ ff6/chrono trigger AND burrowed xenogears from a friend of mine. Yea i'm getting hit with that RPG nostalgia BAD. dunno if ill finish these (or even bother replaying), but meh.

So any other old nostalgic games you guys been playing/finished recently?

That's funny, I got that RPG nostalgia too recently, so I downloaded Breath of Fire 4, Saga Frontier 2, FF9, and Grandia and put them on my PSP. Having a blast

I wish the PSP battery lasts longer though.

Also I just downloaded warcraft 2 two days ago, already beat the Orc / Human campaigns, and starting the "Beyond the Dark Portal" (expansion) orc campaign. Warcraft 2 was the first game I bought when I got my first PC back in the days

i never really played final fantasy cause i never had a playstation. i kinda feel i should get them in an emulator or something sometime.

i totally relate to this thread though, i got a friends nintendo 64 for a few months while he's at uni and i got goldeneye, mario kart, perfect dark on it. the thing is while goldeneye and perfect dark are awesome games the controls when playing back on it are really weird and make it quite hard to play.

another i did lately was after huk was talking in his stream about how real men picked charmander in original pokemon i got an emulator for that (my old game boys broken

) and played a load of it.

some others i always end up going back to every now and again is stuff like quake 1, dungeon keeper 2, alpha centauri, rollercoaster tycoon, theme hospital etc. fuck i love old video games

apparently these guys are making an open source version of theme hospital working on newer computers. not tried it yet so don't know how it'll be. but i thought i'd post it if anyone else loved this game as much as i did

I think over christmas break up until spring break I finished ff6, ff7, ff8, ff tactics, legend of dragoon, xenogears, chrono trigger, and star ocean 1+2, all on a psx emulator.

I don't know how I ever managed to finish these games when I was around 6, but these were some excellent games of their time.

Anybody remember the Namco Museum for the PS1? It had a collection of unforgettable classics and was an insane blast of fun with some twists thrown in. Dig Dug and Tower of Druaga were a real treat to play again.

heh namco games for my ps1 so gewd. rayman, soul blade, tekken 2 (with the super jumping), and tekken 3. tekken 3 was just breathtakingly amazing.

also any1 ever played super punchout!!! or the spiderman/venom anxiety separation side scroller for snes?

also aeris dying in disc 1. the feeling i had the first time just wasn't the same (obv.). i feel the same would be if i replayed re3, compared to when i was like 12 and realizing for the first time he doesn't just disappear when i go into another room
