My favourites are Kirby's Dreamland, Zool, Street Fighter (that's where the girl in my avatar - Cammy - came from), Donkey Kong, Tetris, MarioKart 64 and plenty more!

[dirty old man rant]
Ach! Mario Kart 64 ain't retro! In my day we didn't have no 64 bits! We had eight, IF WE WERE LUCKY!!! When I was a wee lad, I'd sit with my onion and lemon juice - a good hearty snack that you whipper snappers can't handle these days - and play our NESs and ColecoVisions, and we'd like it! I remember we'd have to crank-start the old kerosene generator, because of the war-ZZZZzzzzz.....

Err... Anyway, I'm not really into newer games, since many of them seem to have more graphics than storyline. Some of my favourite classics are the Legend of Zelda games for the NES, Dick Tracy, Wurm: Journey to the Centre of the Earth, TMNT2, and the Mario games on NES. I also liked Kirby for Gameboy. Ahh, good times, good ti-ZZZZzzzzz......

I have to agree, all the games nowadays just focus on the pretty graphics they want to show off. It makes me sad to see so many kids buying those "new" games when they're not really anything worth buying.

I am slowly building up my plug and play library saving up to get the Atari Flashback-- basically it is like an Atari 7800 but alot smaller and alot easier and it comes pre-loaded with 20 games on it--No more game cartridges!!! but I can go back further than that and say my first official platform was an Atari--loved to play pitfall(the original),Yars revenge, Pac-man,Space Invaders, Centipede, Pong(that was the bomb for two player games back in my day) but if we are talking computer game's there is only one and that was Star Wars--No Graphics--no nothing but a screen with some words on it, you had to use your imagination, and you had to use commands >Go Left >Go right >Look around etc etc it was the mother of all first person shooters and it was harder than heck to play but boy was it fun(Apple 2 E's were all the rage when I was learning to use computers)

I never got into the "interactive fiction" (i.e. text-only) games, which is weird, because I used to read those "choose your own adventure" books when I was younger, which is similar.
You brought up Zork: Nemesis in another thread; did you ever play the text-based originals?

No I played Star Wars and a couple of others, but nothing like I did with the Atari and the NES.
