Good 'ol days of 8 bit and 16 bit video games

[red oct 2]

i think the old genesis trillogy "Streets of Rage" deserves a remake. it got a crappy 3d clone on the playstation and N64 called "fighting force" and it sorta sucked. it would be pretty funny if they made a 3d remake for game cube of the old 8 bit Nitendo game Duck Hunt.

I played a flash game where you shoot the dog in duck hunt.  Now if only I could remember where I saw it.....

[EDIT] God damn google is good for finding shit:

I too had the gun for NES, and the best game to play was Operation Wolf, man I had so much trigger action, my finger wouldn't work anymore.  I wish the made the gun so if you hold the trigger, it would be automatic fire.

Duck Hunt was THE game than, everyone who owned a NES usally had Duck Hunt and the little ray gun that came w/ it. matter of fact if i remember Duck Hunt and Super Mario Brothers came w/ every NES as a package. they don't do that anymore because i guess games are now much more expensive to make now, back than i cost a game like the origonal super mario brothers like maybe $56.000 bucks including saleries for the devs work, sound FX, production, boxes, advertisment, instructions, and trademark. now it can quite possibly cost up to $1,00,000,000.00 (as much as a movie) to make and thats probaly Not including production, boxes, advertisment, instructions, and trademark. hrmph! cheap bastards, grumble grumble grumble not giving me a game w/ my PS2 grumble grumble grumble wonder how much it cost to make OF?

Double Dragon or P.O.W.

I got the NES delux package that came with the gun and ROBOT and I didn't get Super Mario bros. But I did get a game called Gyromite that used the ROBOT. I think there were only 2 games that used the ROBOT, Gyromite and Stack-Up. God I loved that robot, it was my best friend.

When was the last time anyone went to a arcade? I mean, i just passed by one the other day and theres this game with a pump action shotgun. Back in the 90s, the only games with guns had these crappy pistols or UZI/Mak 10 clones on them. I heard my brother telling me there was this one game with a sniper rifle. Man, I just want an arcade with a 25 cent tetris game and a vending machine with Mountain Dew and I could stay there for hours.

2 crude dudes was great, the one thing i remember was beating up a vending machine to get cans of coke to drink. Strange thing to remember i guess, but it was real cool at the time

You're talking about Silent Scope Die Alive,it's really cool game :]

Too bad i played it on the ferry to dover on a rough sea...

(YOU try playing a sniper when the ground you're standing on shakes like hell)

But of old games,i really loved ninja for commodore64,it had shurikens and stuff :-p

And streets of rage was awesome playing with friends.

They never improved on starflight.

It's hard to believe that i once found the megadrive graphics "impressive".

I also liked playing one of the turtle ninja games back then, i can't really remember what game it was but it sure ruled!

I get my Retro Arcade fix every few weeks when I boot up MAME.  As it's not strictly speaking legal to download ROMs, I wont post any links or go into details.  But it is a load of fun to play Robotron 2084 or 1943.

As for remakes, I cant wait to see the new Metroid game for GC.  If its as engaging as the first game was, I'll buuy one of the damn things!

Ahha, you're talking about illegal stuff on this forum, sorry pal, you're banned

The day has come, I shall rise again!

There's this used CD store by my house that sells used NES games, for like $2 each. And they have like 300 of them for sale. One day if I ever get a load of money from somewhere (come on mega jackpot), that's one of the first thing I'm gonna buy, all those games.

problem w/ the old 8 bit NES is that if left uncleaned for too long, it can fail to work right.

Midway has done a remake of Defender... Doesnt get much older than Defender I reckon : )

[red oct 2]

midway has also made a remake of Gaunlet. though i still really much see the remake of SoR, that and maybe Gunstar Heros, though it would probaly be more fun as a side scroller w/ better graphics and better levels.

[Longinius 1]

The Defender one is better than the Gauntlet remake, but Gauntlet is fun to. Especially in multiplay.

Is this an arcade remake, or a PC/Console game?

I loved defender back in the day!

I spent many many quaters in Guantlet in the arcade with my friends, that game is so much fun with friends. Also when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game came out, we played that for a long time.
