mine are:
mario 1,2,3 world, yoshi's island Surprised
sonic Razz
contra Very Happy
tnmt for snes
oddworld
and heck kirby games

there are many more but i can only remember these at the moment. Sad

How about that new Half-Life side scroller that came out a couple of months ago.... Project Gordon maybe? Can't remember the name. It was free and was supposed to be fun.

The thing is, every time I get nostalgic and download some old game/emu etc. I get excited and think, "Wow <insert game here> used to rock! I would play it for hours at a time! This is gonna be soooo fun!" But then reality sits in and you realize that while the game may have been great at the time, it pales in comparison with what is available now.

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I downloaded a C64 emu and lots or roms and was real excited to play Bard's Tale. I played for 5 mins and went back to Farcry. Uggg. Alot of old stuff is freaking unplayable today.

mario
streets of rage (2 being the best)
some old snes games like mystical ninja, clay mates, putty squad.
shinobi (dunno why no1 hasnt mentioned this)
earthworm jim did get pretty hard after a while but was pretty good especially if u liked the cartoons.
there seems to be a game escaping my mind but i have no idea which one. codename is alright but sucks compared to something like smw.

Actually they DID it for PC. In Korea, an officially approved port of MS 1-5.

Plays fine and comes with a nice case. Get it at play-asia.com, you don't need to read Korean to play such games of course Wink
