Here you can discuss one of my favourite aspects of life: Retro games!

It can be anything from Pong to the N64. What are the RPGs, Platformers, etc that you could just never forget even if you dared to try? Here' s the place to talk about it. That includes handhelds, such as the beloved Gameboy or Game Gear.

Discover a secret that you think nobody else found years ago? Maybe you just want to tell us about a long lost title that not many people know about. Or post screenshots. Any regrets? Memories? Wishes? Well, I suppose you get the idea by now. So put your fingers on those keyboards, and start typing already.

When mentioning the NES people usually talk about Super Mario bros and all those classics but one important game to me is Duck Tales 2. It was magical. I was a big fan of the TV series (and still am) and the game was just perfect. Excellent in every way, gameplay, graphics, sound, etc. I won' t forget that game.
Finding all the secret maps and treasures is still very challenging compared to todays games.

Tetris attack on the SNES (had a different name in one of the regions). Very addictive puzzle game, one of the bst IMO even though it was rather simple. Very cute style and nice music. It had lots of Nintendo mascots in it, like Yoshi.

Guardian Heroes on the Saturn is one of the rare gems in the Saturn library that shouldn' t get forgotten. And they should make sequels FFS! A remake on the PSP or the DS would be freaking awesome!!! The GBA sequel sucked!
Ginjirou is one of the characters in Guardian Heroes. He is a ninja with green clothes and spikey purple hair.... He specialises in fast techniques, acrobatics and lightning magic.

Twisted Metal 2 on the PS1. Pure fun in co-op and VS. Pure skill required despite what some people say. I still kick ass in online in the later Twisted Metals thanks to the countless hours I wasted in TM2.

Watch the Nights into dreams video.
I like how they mention a rumored quote by Shigeru Miyamoto
" If there is any one game I wish I had made, it would' ve been Nights."
