Retro Gamer forum

I'm pretty surprised by the amount of overrated votes for Streetfighter II. I just assumed that as retro gamers we all shared the same experience when it was released in the arcades and on SNES. Is it because some of you don't know the moves, never applied effort into learning them, had no mates to...

Pong was very overrated just compare it to a x-box 360 game very poor, even a spectrum game could beat it.

No but seriously I found Street fighter 2 very overrated at the time I slowly got into it when all the hype died down.

One of my favourites is Vendetta on the arcade it was a follow up to crime fighters, very Streets of rage before S.O.R.

Be it title screen music, main game music, or end game music what is the best, for example turrican 2's open music is great as well as R - Types loading screen music.

Your opinions wil be very helpful.

This topic is all down to your own interpretation you can go the technical route or the time at which the machines came out it doesn't really matter, I personallly went the technical route...the choice is yours.

Final Fight - SNES

I wouldn't say the Snes version as it didn't included Guy.

R type - Pc Engine

16 Bit
Final Fight - Mega CD

32 Bit
Virtua Fighter 2 - Saturn

Just some suggestions..what about yours?

Thunder Force 4 the best shoot em up on the megadrive.

My local stores is the Wembley branch and it had loads of retro stuff a few years ago but has been phased out the staff are ok but the shitty music drives me crazy. I herds they were bought out by GAME and thats why the retro stuff was gone.

Sorry I didn't read the post correctly Gunhed on the Pc engine

A cheap Neo Geo AES console would be good or the key to vector sigma both as easy to get as the other.

I can easily go back and play old games as I find some (not all) stand up to todays standards and some current games look as if they belong in the past and not in a good way and i've been playing games since the early eighties and I find the games that are put on a pedistal like Zelda Ocarina of tim...

R type on the Pc engine.

Turrican 2 on the Amiga brilliant ..

The new episode will be alot shorter in running time and a bit more structered, but won't be more serious as that is not how we do it. The Theme will be the Amiga so there are plenty of good games to talk about and if there are any games you want us to look at or you have any top 5's for the Amiga m...
