Hello GS, this is my first post here, and I hope it is a good one! All you do is post your favorite older game and a reason why it's so good! Here is mine:

Halo: Combat Evolved

This is just a flat-out amazing game. Great controls, weapons and game play, with a good story, the list goes on. The graphics and AI need a little work, but not much. Overall, totally awesome!

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

Still the best in the series and it's still as great as it supposed to be.

Fallout 2

Still nothing like it.

I'll stop before I use 30 mins on this one post. I could also list a ton of Virtual Console games :D

Halo: CE is not really an "older game"... it's only one generation old.

I'll second RK-Mara here and say Fallout 2, if you have not played this game, you need to purchase it (it runs on pretty much any computer these days), and then put your life on hold for a few weeks while you play through it.

You call games from the late 90's retro? You sure haven't been a gamer for long.

I like the old Sonic and Mega Man games a lot. Most notably Sonic and Knuckles and Mega Man X4.

Problem is that Halo CE is a bit like CS:S - it's actively played still online on PC, and is brought at LAN parties. Halo CE died on the Xbox when Halo 2 released (LIVE vs tunneling... wasn't really a competition). If you're still a fan of it, I'd suggest getting the PC version, I stopped playing it about six months ago myself, but there were still tons of servers when I left.

You're lucky, your "favorite" is still current :P.

-

Now if you mean Halo CE on Xbox, I do miss the LAN parties with that, now it's Halo 3, which is a much better game than Halo 2 (lightyears ahead) but still not as great as Halo CE (or rather, Halo CE was a better game relative to the other games at the time)

Halo isn't really "older" but whatever...

I'd say FFVII, but if we're talking actual old-school games, then most likely FFIV :D

Agreed. TheKnights of the Old Republic Series was a brilliant RPG and shows the true quality in Star Wars games

Streets of Rage 2 for Sega. It was a great game, you had choice of 4 characters to play through the game as and the fighting pending character was fun and each person had unique moves to their size and strength.

Mine are posted in my sig. Although I think I will go with Super Mario 3 as number 1. Love the gameplay. I love all the suites that didnt appear in the other Mario games. I love the atmosphere of the game. I love the music. I love fighting against King Koopa's children. I love beating Bowser himself. I love finding new secrets in the game. I think my runners up are Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time.

I still play Deus Ex every now and then. That game is amazing. I saw things in that game that I had never seen before it's release, and kept finding new things as I played it over and over again.

I'll list a few just for the heck of it :

- Castlevania : Symphony of the Night

- The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past

- The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time

- Super Mario Bros 3

- Final Fantasy (the first one on the NES, best of the series IMO)

- Contra/Super C

- Wonderboy series

- Rastan

- Double Dragon Series

- Altered Beast

- Shinobi

- Super Mario World

- Dragon Warrior series (NES)

- Battletoads

- Jungle Hunt

- Pacman/Ms. Pacman

I could go on and on because there are so many great classic games, but I'll stop here.
