Most games I play are older. Everything from the original Halo, to Unreal Tournament, to Sega Genesis games on Xbox Live, to the NES Classic system.
These are all retro, because they aren't modern games. No way can I choose a favorite. I seem to play Left 4 Dead 2 more than anything now days. Is Left 4 Dead 2 modern or retro? It is about a decade old.
The oldest game I love enough to replay it every few years is Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sure there are older games I really like, but I don't revisite them as much as S3K
i remember my brother and i glued to the TV playing (i would always pick skate) and my mum called us to eat dinner but we were so addicted we ignored her so she came to the room with the belt and beat our asses..
@PAL360: Surprised to see Asterix mentioned here... That's one of my favourite platformers of all time.
Great game indeed! It's far from my all time favourite, but it's easily my favourite Master System game.
Yup, it was great fun. It also introduced me to the Asterix comics & cartoons, and the history of Roman-era Gaul (now called France).
However, it's not my favourite Master System game. That would be Ninja Gaiden. IMO, the SMS game is better than the NES trilogy. They're quite different games though, with the NES trilogy focusing more on the hack & slash and the SMS game focusing more on the platforming.

Sonic and knuckles. it was better than anything mario did.
Yeah, I especially like the really floaty controls, and the way it encourages the player to go fast, but makes the player not able to by putting enemies and spikes where you're supposed to go fast.
Really epic game design right there. Way better than Mario's genius level design and accurate controls.
That tank game on the 2600 where you can select bouncing bullets (or maybe the plane one in where you can 'hide' in the clouds).
Lots of ones on the C64 - Paradroid, Summer Games 2, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Head Over Heals, Mercenary, Wizball, oodles of them. Too many games to mention (sung to the tune of money's too tight to mention).

good times
...seriously? That is one shitty mom.
To be fair, at least that's better than her coming and turning the game console off. You'd end up losing all your progress. That's worse than getting a parental beating.
