Favorite oldschool console games.

If you want to act like He-Man, grab a sword and stand on the peak of one the mountains in Valua then stick your sword into the sky screaming "I HAVE THE POWER!!".Then get struck by lightning just like He-Man.

Flashback was THE business. General Chaos was annoying, just clicking like a mad motherfucker got you further than any attempt at real strategy.

I remember playing Collumns (on a 6 in 1 cartridge for the megadrive) with a certain friend, and we DESTROYED. It was never as much fun with other friends though.

In absolutely no real order:

PC
Out of this World

NES
Dragon Warrior III
Startropics series
Super Mario Bros. 3

SNES
Prince of Persia (SNES version. Nuff said.)
Breath of Fire II (Can't stand the "translation", though.)

Genesis
Cannon Fodder (I HATE BAZOOKAS)
Valis III (tragically, that boss with the shifting yellow background is TOO @)&(^!(*&%^! HARD EVEN WHEN I USE VALNA... wait, I thought I beat that one. Must check Gens savestates...)
Final Zone (Blowing shit up has never been so much fun. Except for the final boss.)
Lost Vikings series (Love it.)
Phantasy Star II-IV
Afterburner II (Wheeefun.)
Flashback
Space Harrier (sure, it's a 32X game, but enh.)

PSX
FF1, 2, 4 and 6 (Though the PSX load times for 4 and 6 suck. BUT THATS WHAT ROMS ARE FOR)

EDIT: Wait, I did beat that one boss in Valis III. As Valna, no less. Too bad the ice level after him is $(*^@)$&(*^@(!!

I played Axelay just the other day after getting a heads up on it from Clysm's site. It's the best space shooter ever bar perhaps Thunderforce 4.
