Topic: Retro recommendations thread

@Ryno: OMG Battle of Olympus. That has always been one of my favorite games but I was young when I last played it and wasnt sure where I was going or what to do. Still I always liked it.

One thing I remember was the commercials for Battle of Olympus especially the one that they had where they compared it to The Guardian Legend as to which game was harder. I am not sure if any of you guys remember that one. If I find it on youtube I will post it here.

@Waveboy: Yeah other than Battle of Olympus the only other game that comes to mind is Athena

I was at my local Play N Trade and they had a gold Majora's Mask catridge with a label that looked holographic. Is that rare? I can't remember the price so what's the most I should pay for it?

@Retro_on_theGo: I wouldnt say it is rare especially after how with OoT they actually had to stop taking reservations for the Gold Edition of that game. By the time Majoras Mask came out they had an idea of what to expect from OoT. I am not sure on the most you should pay for your best bet is maybe check the internet on places like Ebay and see what they are going for there and calculate the average and compare that to what the store wants for it. Usually with those stores though they have a set price and its usually around what everywhere else is asking for.

@Waveboy: Yep those were the days . Although I dont know what video store you are talking about but the video store I went too kept the games and movies behind the counter and the actual empty VHS or game boxes on the shelf. So if the box wasnt there for the game either they didnt have the game at all or it was rented out. So you would take the cardboard box up to the counter and they would give you the game in a black plastic VHS like box. But yeah TMNT 2 was pretty hard to get at my video store as well Chip N Dale not so much.

@Waveboy: Yeah as I said my video store had the actually cardboard NES box on the shelf and you would take that up to the register and give that to the person. They would than go into a backroom and come out a few seconds later with a black VHS case with the store logo on it and all that jazz and the game inside the case.

I am not sure what game you are talking about there Waveboy I didnt rent any games with a blue cartridge but I remember renting the Tengen Black cartridges. Which if my memory serves me right werent too bad of games. I remember the Tegen Tetris was way better than Nintendo's Tetris and of course there was RBI Baseball and Gauntlet which were two of my favorite Tengen games.

Will Mario is Missing run on Vista?

Oh, they also have banjoo kazooie.(or maybe it was twooie. Sorry if I spelled that wrong.) I keep hearing soooo many things about those games. Are they really good? I think it costs some where between $7-$19.

~$15 is a good price for them. I found Banjo-Kazooie had some problems but Tooie fixed all of them. Either way, they're both great games, but you're getting the better deal if they have Tooie.

It's a Dos game, so it should work as long as you used DOSBox.

Ok

@WaveBoy
Amagon was impossible...i watched someone beat it on youtube...hell i had to see that. i used to rent it back in the days, and i too actually had it in my collection for awhile. it woulda been a good game if it wasnt for its difficulty. and as far as Kickmaster that game is badass. i was trying to tell yall about it awhile back. yeah that game uses nothing but kicks. i like to say since Shatterhand was all punching someone was bound to make an all kicking game.

I have that one. I've heard that surprisingly, the normal sticker label is the rarer version.

Amazon has a Sega Saturn for about $40. Should I get it?

You either missed it, or all the ~$40 ones are broken.

I got a sega saturn for £5 from cashgenerator last year and that works great.

Those are the ones I'm looking at. Did you even read the descriptions? 2 of them are broken, one says SYSTEM ONLY, which means you'd have to pay $40+ For cords, and one says nothing at all, which is ALWAYS a bad sign. In fact, out of all of those, I'd buy the $60 one.

What are some good multiplayer SNES games other then Mario and TMNT? And what are some good single player N64 games?

@Retro_on_theGo? What genre are you looking for cause I could recommend alot but knowing what genre you are interested in will narrow it down.

For the N64 some really good 1 player games are: Blast Corps, Banjo Kazooie and Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, ShadowGate 64: Trials of the Four Towers, Quest 64, Resident Evil 2, Earthworm Jim 3D.

SP - Mischief Makers

Awesome thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
@Tasuki my favorite genre of video games is platformers, but some racing, shooting, or fighting games are welcomed too.
