One of the greatest racing games of all time. I'll never get sick of it.

Did you know it expands once you beat king league on expert?

Oh, another sleeper hit for SNES if you like the vertical scrolling shooters:

Strike Gunner S.T.G.

What about Space MegaForce?

You mean F-Zero for SNES or F-Zero X for N64?

 

[ibex333]

Sonic the Hedgehog games from SEGA, MERCS(good fun when you're bored), Street Fighter games, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, and off course... METAL SLUG.

I used to play Puzzle Fighter but lost the ROM when the computer crashed. Haven't been able to find a replacement.

 

[Fenixgoon]

anything on SNES - super metroid, rock and roll racing, super mario RPG

 

[Chaotic42]

Final Fantasy 2, 3, and 5.

Well, recently I played through the first Double Dragon. I don't know why, but that game makes me want to go out and fight people.

HAHA,, It made me feel the same way in 8th grade. but then i realized that I was a scrawny azn kid.

SNES.

Never played F-Zero X. I assume the graphics are better but is it funner than the original?

Im having issues getting Rabbit punch to work on mame. Can someone else give it a try?

 

[Oyeve]

Blades of Steel! For NES

 

[BFG10K]

I occasionally play Apple IIe games.

 

[Oyeve]

Yars Revenge.

I play old stuff on Dosbox and Basilisk pretty often. I went through Lemmings Chronicles for the first time just a month ago.

 

[TheVrolok]

I DOSBox a lot of old Sierra adventure games (KQ/QFG/SQ/etc.), also love playing just about any old NES game (A Boy and His Blob, and the Dragon Warrior series recently). I often go back and play Mario 64 a lot on my 64 emulator.

 

[CP5670]

Does anyone know of a decent classic Mac emulator apart from Basilisk? It runs most of my old stuff well, but there are some games that run way too fast and a handful that don't have sound. There is no way to make the emulation run slower as far as I can tell. It has a framerate limiter but that has no effect on the speed, and external programs like CPUKiller don't do much for it either.

 

[NeoV]

Neo Geo games forever

I actually had a console until my ex sold it....grr...

but now I can play all the games for that great system!

I also dig the newer CPS3 emulated games, as well as the older Capcom games

Mame, btw, works just fine in Vista, but I usually use Kawaks

 

[Dude111]

I just sat down with Star Fox 64 and beat it in 30 minutes...lol, was a blast to the past, but it surprised me how good the old games can look with some anti-aliasing.

Ya but emulators ARE NOT 100% RELIABLE!!

I have MAME,atari 2600 and Colecovision emu programs and my Coleco one freezes after so long of playing a game!!!!! (@ least when playing donkey kong (I really would love getting another atari/coleco console -- I have tons of cartridges for both!!))

One thing I do like about them though is PAL GAMES WILL WORK!!!! -- Some of them anyway......

I have to start with the greatest arcade game ever made, which is Robotron 2084. I actually own a Robotron cabinet but I still tend to play on my M.A.M.E. cabinet because it is more convenient (pause button helps when you have a marathon game going).

After that there are tons of great arcade games (Karate Champ, Gyruss, Rolling Thunder, Tempest, NBA Jam, etc.).

I actually still play Larry Bird vs. Dr.J One on One on an Atari 800 emulator from time to time as well. If I have friends over sometimes we will play Tecmo Bowl (NES) or NBA Jam (Sega) on the big screen. I am a little too old to have fond console memories, so most of my emulation play is arcade related.

 

[sweenish]

I like that this thread is now a blast from the past as well.

My laptop is not a graphical powerhouse, so SNES JRPG's right now. I want to actually beat FFVI without any cheat codes or anything. The laptop may eventually go to Genesis and GBA ones as well. I use SNES9x. I would like to use higan, but it's not quickly apparent how/if *.ips files work.

On the desktop, PSX and PS2 emulation. PS2 mostly because my PS3 had to be replaced and I lost the emulator that was built-in. I may also end up doing GCN and N64, but my backlog will have to fall off first.

 

[Sonikku]

I liked emulating FF6 on my first PC because I could play it without a gamepad, which I did not have at the time.

 

[KMFJD]

Spelunker for c64

 

[DeathReborn]

Road Rash II (Mega Drive), Ikari Warriors (Atari ST), Spider (PS1), Civilization (Atari ST) & Sensible Soccer (Atari ST)

 

[poofyhairguy]

So many Wii and Gamecube games. They actually looked pretty nice for their day, but 480p is such a crappy resolution.

The ones that improve most from the upscale are F-Zero GX, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Donkey Kong Country Returns.
