Super Mario Bros. 2

The Sims and SimCity. Still trying to find a copy of The Sims 2 so I can live the childhood I never lived.

You mean you don't play Pokemon anymore? :P

Nah, not really. :P I don't play it on the laptop anymore because it just isn't the same compared to playing Pokemon on the GBA or DS.

The arcade had a lot of stuff, too like that Simpsons beat 'em up, that X Men beat 'em up, the Jurassic Park game where you're in the car, the Aerosmith rail shooter where you shoot explosive CDs, the Die Hard rail shooter, and this shit right here...

Lucky & Wild. My sister and I used to play co-op on this all the time in the arcades.

While I'm sure that there still are arcades there seem to be less demand over visiting them past 2000

There is one in the Mall near me, but none of the arcade machines I mentioned are ever going to be in any arcade. You can buy cabinets, but they're expensive and a lot of them are probably hard to get.

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. My life was great in 2007. I actually had friends and I wasn't a social wreck. Sometime, I want to play through Diamond and Pearl again. I have over 150 hours on my Diamond.

Hmmmm......

Just about any of the Final Fantasy series(& other RPGs) for me.

I see what you mean by expensive There's a Final Fight Arcade cabinet on Ebay which is almost 800 dollars.

Super Mario 64, the two N64 Zelda games, Half-Life, Spyro 3 (can't be bothered writing the full name).

This thread as a whole is a nostalgia fest for me- so many games being mentioned I remember from my youth.

My earliest games were played through DOS:

Rogue
Pacman
Space Invaders

Before I branched out into the world of PC gaming:

Doom 2
Hexen
Tomb Raider (the first game I bought with my own pocket money)
Quake 2
(later Half Life and Deus Ex)

And then my first console was the N64 (though I played on my friends Megadrive for years before that)

Banjo Kazooie
Super Mario 64
Goldeneye
Ocarina of Time

I still play some of these now when the mood takes me.
