Games you really miss playing

[Mike the Foxhog]

I want to play Rayman again so badly. I just know I can get to the Candy Chateau all by myself now. I'm watching YouTube videos of the boss fights at the moment, and it's like nostalgic torture. =3

Also, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie and Digimon World 2003 (I miss meh WarGrowlmon/Gallantmon).

[ESP]

Pikmin 2. Me and my friends can't find it anywhere :(

[Cryssie]

Hmm... Phantasy Star Online Eps. I & II for the Xbox (we don't have the Xbox set up right now, meh) and Guardian's Crusade (an old PS1 RPG which blatantly ripped off at least two other franchises but was quite a lovable little game in its own right).

Neither game is really anything special, but I liked 'em. D:

[Venged_Kitty]

I miss MDK. I haven't played it in about 6 or 7 years. It was the first teen game I'd ever played:sad

[Storm, Earth, and Fire]

Panzer Bandit, a Japan-exclusive PS1 beat 'em up.
Power Stone 2, whimsical Capcom fighting game on the Dreamcast. Rather unique gameplay, and a great multiplayer experience.
Vigilante 8: 2nd Offence, best vehicular combat game ever. The Dreamcast version is the best.
Digimon World 2/3, I kind of liked 2 better, but 3 was lovely too. And it had the card battle minigame, which reminded me of...
Digimon Digital Card Battle, for the PS1, vaguely based on the Digimon Trading Card Game, as far as I know. I love this game to death.
MDK and MDK 2, both brilliant games.

[Rasrap Smurf]

Majora's Mask - My brother has it at university.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PS1) - Lost some of the cables for the Playstation. :(
Worms Armageddon - Lost the disc for years, when I eventually find it, it doesn't work on XP or Vista.
Some internet game that I've forgotten the name of and so can't find what website it was on.
A load of Star Trek games that came out on the 80/90s. - Mostly text-based or simply point and click, but they can't run on anything later then 95.
My SEGA Megadrive games.

[Leafpool]

Also, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie and Digimon World 2003 (I miss meh WarGrowlmon/Gallantmon).

Yeah, I have a question on SM64 (which I only managed to get my paws on a few weeks ago, although I have the DS version and before now had been playing for around five years at the local daycare [what? It had video games.]). On Big Boo's Haunt for the Big Boo's Balcony star, after the star appears on top of the roof, how do you get up to it? I've tried jumping onto the slope and then diving onto the spike right above the door, but I can never get enough distance.

As for games of my own, I honestly haven't played all that many when it comes to oldschool games. For the N64 at the daycare, there were Glover (or whatever it's called -- the one with the walking glove and the ball that I never got very far in), Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Stadium, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, some basketball game, Super Smash Brothers and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Of those (all of which I found good), I already own Kirby, SM64 and Stadium. I also want to get my paws on any Zelda games for the N64, since I've never actually played them before. :P

[Spaekle]

Ocarina of Time. We gave my N64 and all its games to my cousins. Dammit.
Kirby's Dreamland 3. I don't remember what happened to my SNES, but it's gone too. :[
Klonoa: Empire of Dreams. This one just disappeared one day. I tore my room apart looking for it and never found it.
That Lion King game for the SNES. First video game I ever played. ; ;

Edit: Glover! I remember that game! Wasn't that the one where you were the magician's glove thing, but something or other happens so that the magician turns into a fountain and you have to save him? And his other glove is evil? That game was crazy. xD

[Byrus]

Tombi for the PS1. PS1 was the first game consle i ever got and Tombi was the first video game i ever played. It was a crazy game where a feral boy with spiky pink hair raced around the place solving events and saving the world from evil pigs. Ah, good times.

Rayman was fun too. I remember in Rayman 2 there was a level called "The cave of bad dreams" where a creepy eyeball monster chased you down a slippery slope. It was really cool, the monster's jaws framed the screen as it chased you down.

Oh, and Digimon world. Metalgreymon hell yeah.

[Icalasari]

There was an old game for N64. I forget its name, but you were this little boy who went around. It had a 3D battle field that popped up with random monsters. You gathered the elements that were in Crystals, I believe. It would allow you to unlock new skills and actually, erm, survive

Another one that I don't remember the name of that was for the N64 had Gauntlet in its name, and was wicked

Also, Sonic the Hedgehog 2. My Mom let my Uncle sell my Genesis and games... WHEN I SAID THAT SHE COULD ONLY LEND IT TO THEM! >.< Oh, that pissed me off... You know how hard it is to find a working Genesis, two working controllers, and working Genesis games when you DON'T have access to EBay? (Heck, they are probably rare there too)

And Leafpool, that IS what you do. You need to time it just right and have just the right angle

[Leafpool]

And Leafpool, that IS what you do. You need to time it just right and have just the right angle

Huh. Never seems to work for me. Anything I need to do to get higher up the roof (hit the first slope on the second jump of a triple jump, hit it *on* a triple jump, long jump, etc)? At least in the DS version triple-jumping is a lot easier and you have the float-thingy-flower.. 8D

Edit: Glover! I remember that game! Wasn't that the one where you were the magician's glove thing, but something or other happens so that the magician turns into a fountain and you have to save him? And his other glove is evil? That game was crazy. xD

I have absolutely no clue. The only thing I remember was the first level with the sand/water/whatever it was and the ending that I always failed at, and then a level where you had to get like fifty magic carpets or something and I always ended up with like 45. 8D I should look into that again...

Either way, the games were fun, even if I never got anywhere (*points to SM64 with the first four levels, "the lava level", "the quicksand level" and only ever once "the-level-that-looks-like-a-oil-and-water-pool", as well as "the slide", "the flying level", "the hole in the moat" and "the Bowser level"*)

[Strawberry]

Mario Kart DS. I lost it somehow and it's been gone for months D:
Oh, and Pikmin. For some reason when I was younger, I traded in that game because I didn't like it. Now I really want to play it ;_;

[Murkrowfeather]

I remember that Lion King game. That and Yoshi's Isle for the SNES were my first games too. xD And, also Aladdin, which i got pretty far in. But then our SNES went Arceus-knows-where and I have to settle with the dreadful DS remake of Yoshi's Isle and SMB.

[Mike the Foxhog]

Rayman was fun too. I remember in Rayman 2 there was a level called "The cave of bad dreams" where a creepy eyeball monster chased you down a slippery slope. It was really cool, the monster's jaws framed the screen as it chased you down.

Eh, I never really liked Rayman 2. Not as much as Rayman. Though the keeper of the Cave of Bad Dreams was awesome. I could just stand on that level on the world map and watch him hop up and down all day... xD

[Cryssie]

Tombi for the PS1. PS1 was the first game consle i ever got and Tombi was the first video game i ever played. It was a crazy game where a feral boy with spiky pink hair raced around the place solving events and saving the world from evil pigs. Ah, good times.
Oh yeah, Tombi was awesome! :D Did you ever play the sequel? That was quite possibly at least as awesome as the original.

[Exo-Raikou]

I remember that Lion King game. That and Yoshi's Isle for the SNES were my first games too. xD And, also Aladdin, which i got pretty far in. But then our SNES went Arceus-knows-where and I have to settle with the dreadful DS remake of Yoshi's Isle and SMB.

But what about the GBA remake? That was pretty good. It pretty much enhanced the SNES version, but kept the same levels and such

Ahyways, I miss Smash bros. 64, and Star Fox 64. THose were some amazing games

[Dannichu]

Pokemon Snap and the minigames on Stadium/Stadium II. I just can't be bothered to hook the N64 up again.

And a so-bad-it's-awesome Gameboy game my sister used to have of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, where you had to turn all these animals back into people and it was SO COOL. :DDD

[Flora and Ashes]

^ I think my friend had a game like that, except it was for the PC. I vaguely remember boucing cupcakes, too. O_o

I want my old LoZ: A Link to the Past game file baaaaaack...darn you SNES magnet-thingies, you erased my game. D:

[Celestial Blade]

Digimon World 2/3.

[alonsyalonso]

Star Wars Battlefront 2
Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (well I got Brawl now so i should'nt be missing it)

[Iwakuma]

Final Fantasyyyy ;_; (and FFIII as well I guess, since the DS remake isn't quite as glorious as the real thing)

Also Rayman 2. My grandma's computer was the only thing that would play it and it's messed up now.

[Animorph]

Pokemon Crystal- My internal battery went dry...I loved being able to have a fire, water, grass, electric and ground type all within the first few hours of gameplay...with an Espeon right around the corner. That, and Sprout Tower. That place rocked for no apparent reason whatsoever.

Oh, and the Stadium mini games...*Sighs wistfully*

[Leviathan]

Final Fantasy 7 and 9: I had to borrow both of these from surskitty. I was able to complete most of 7 (everything but Emerald Weapon), but I didn't even get past disc 1 on 9. They're still great games, and I'd love to have a chance to play either of them again.

Rayman 2 (PSX version): OH GOD YES!! This was easily one of the most addictive games I ever played when I was younger. I remember that I would go over to my cousin's house to play it all the time (assuming he even let me), and I would always start a new file just to see how far I could get before mom dragged me back to the car. Eventually I managed to get my own copy, which became extensively worn and beat-up before finally becoming lost in some obscure fold of space-time.

[ultraviolet]

Oh, god, Rayman. I used to love that game. Tombi too. But I really miss Klonoa 1 & 2, they were great games. ;-;

[Erindor the Espeon]

I have an emulator, so I have a lot of old games, like Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie (and Tooie) Super Smash original, Majora's Mask...

I might be able to find a way to send that to you guys...

[Dewgong]

Hamtaro: Ham Hams Unite.

I suspect my aunt's mom threw it away.

[PichuK]

Spyro 3

/:(

[ultraviolet]

Spyro 3

/:(

ultra approves. ^__^


I'd let you borrow mine... but I live halfway cross the world...

[Music Dragon]

Oh God yes. The original three Spyro games... *droooool*

Everything after the first three, though, sucks.

[PichuK]

That "A Hero's Tail" one wasn't too bad. The others were crap, yes.

[Mike the Foxhog]

That "A Hero's Tail" one wasn't too bad. The others were crap, yes.

Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning was awful. It was way too short and Sparx made me want to die. After that I was scared to try The Eternal Night (or was it Enter the Night? I can never remember).

[Worst Username Ever]

Tiny Toons Wacky Stackers(or something) for Gameboy Color. It wasn't that good, but I just want to play it again...

[Valor]

A working copy of Tales of Eternia would be really nice. Don't have the disc and the ISO I have is glitchy. Or maybe it's just my emulator, since Tales of Destiny forces it to close when I open the game menu (Not that I want to play that piece of trash. The PS2 version deserves my attention).

[Cryssie]

Quoted for being so, so true. ;;

[ultraviolet]

That "A Hero's Tail" one wasn't too bad. The others were crap, yes.


I like A Hero's Tail, but Enter the Dragonfly was terrible. A New Beginning and The Eternal Night was repetitive and had nothing to do with what Spyro is about. I mean, come on. Wave after wave of combat? He's a pony-sized purple dragon that flames sheep and collects gems... ;-;

I used to love Crash Bandicoot. They've slaughtered him like they have Spyro, though. .___.

[Ruffledfeathers]

The commander keen games. I can't play em now, as the screen jogs whenever Keen walks.

[Music Dragon]

Crash Bandicoot rocked, too - although I was always scared shitless of those nitroglycerin crates. They seriously gave me heart attacks whenever I accidentally touched one.

I doubt Crash was too chuffed about it either ^_^

I loved how those games had an individual death for each hazard Crash can fall victim to.

[Cirrus]

Rayman 2: The Great Escape.

It was my favourite PC game back from when I was ten or eleven, and I miss it so much. XD I keep tingling with nostalgia every time I remember it... *sigh* But it doesn't work any more, and it's at my dad's house in Germany somewhere.

It was so messed up, it only played on a certain computer. >> And it was all blurry on other PCs, god it was weird. Also, The Sims 2, I got it recently but it only sort of half works on my mum's laptop because this computer's eight years old and is shitacular.

[Leviathan]

The commander keen games. I can't play em now, as the screen jogs whenever Keen walks.

Ohhhhhhh, yes. If Rayman was the catalyst for my video game addiction then old Commander Keen was what drew me to computers. It's pretty much the same situation, too. I actually do have a working copy of Marooned on Mars, but it's too old to work on my computer. :/

[Dannichu]

Ye olde Spyro and Crash games were great and all, but I always needed a book handy while playing them to get me through the 15 minute-ish loading screens DX

[Koori Renchuu]

My entire collection. I has no Wii in my dorm. :(

[ultraviolet]

Uh? I think there's something wrong with yer PS, Danni, coz I remember them loading well under 5 minutes. And spyro's loading screens had him flying, it was awesome. (:

[Cryssie]

Yeah, the loading times on the original three never bothered me (and the flying Spyro loading screens which had you gliding down seamlessly onto the level were a nice touch). Enter the Dragonfly, on the other hand, had some of the most hideously long and boring loading times that I can ever remember suffering in a game. (Also, limitless gems, what? D: And give Moneybags his old accent back. ;;)

Now there's a game that I don't miss.

EDIT: Ohhh, games that I do miss: the old Monkey Island games. Awesome, funny point-and-clicks for the win.

The developers of Enter the Dragonfly need to be burned at the stake. :/

[Eeveeon25]

Holy freaking crap I miss the real Banjo-Kazooies. The new Nuts and Bolts won't even be close to being a real Banjo-Kazooie 3... :( On the bright side, the the first two are coming to Xbox Live! :)
