Classic games you love, and why.

As the title says . . .



Feel free to rant!

Super mario 3 was pretty awesome, always loved the stage where you shrink! Plus the raccoon tail!

Scrabble, in the original wooden tiles. I love word games and this is classic word game. The tiles have a cool smooth hand and they make a nice sounding dry rattle when they are mixed in the bag. The game board has pleasant pastel squares and the design is adult spare. I love the feeling of triumph when anyone lays down an eight letter word.

Also the 52 card deck of standard playing cards is pretty awesome. Again classic, traditional, adult design. Shuffling a deck of cards is a singularly unique action. Playing card imagery is so popular it has entered the English language.
Deuce = lowest or loser
Ace= highest, A or great competence
Jack of Hearts= a romantic
Then, there are the poker terms that have entered our language as expressions: up the ante; show your cards; ace in the hole; all in; wild card; poker face, penny ante.
Is there anything else that can be used to play as many different games as playing cards?

Blood
Shadow Warrior
Powerslave

Metroid, my favorite!!

It would be nice to see Mega Man on here, but I love the Gauntlet Series (not anything past Dark Legacy though)

Loved to play the first couple of Gauntlets. My brother and I would spend hours looking for dragons. Of course if we wanted to move on we had to kill it . . .
Mario Bros was an awesome game too. Theme sometimes gets stuck in my head at work.

Were you referring to Mario Bros. the old arcade game or Super Mario Bros. that was launched with the NES? I voted for Mario Bros. with the assumption it was meant as Super Mario Bros. lol There was nothing like running an audio cord from the NES straight to a stereo to hear that 8-bit music with huge amounts of bass, especially in the underword levels!

Any Mario Bros! If you like any version, vote for it.

YES YES YES YES AND MORE YES

The Mario Games and Monopoly are always my faves.

Ok.......
I always loved Mario games growing up until they started going in to the psuedo-3d realm starting with Super Mario 64. I use Super Mario Bros. as a benchmark test for emulation performance.

Have any NES Monopoly players ever set the game up so that all eight computer players play each other, no human player in the game at all?

Ever accidentally/intentionally learned how to cheat in the game?

Voted Sonic but this really could have been better by putting the option Other in this voting poll.

Pac-Man... Space Invaders... Doom... Barbie...
You know, else we could be listing everything....
