Nostalgia (videogames)

Post by zicada »



Imo THE best game for the NES. Oh the years I spent as a kid trying to beat this. SOO hard.
Also, this player is hysterical :D At this point he's died like 10 times in that maze. Frustration'd

Battletech! I remember my brothers got this game and couldn't beat the first level. I picked it up and cruised right through and was hooked from there.

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

I can't claim this one to be nostagic for me considering I only got the chance to play the de-jap version on emulator recently but it's still a damn good game.

but this. . oh this was the SHIT!

Good times. Was about 1st grade, so 1987.

... Although I played on the Apple IIe, and I don't remember the graphics being as good as that, and there was no colour.

And then basically anything on the Amiga 500.
