Must-play Old Era Games?

Postby blade » Tue Mar 12, 2013 3:26 pm

I am getting really really sick of how bad games have become recently with just average gameplay and too much focus on consoles killing it.. argh! I really feel like playing some older RPG games.. List some of your favorite games of all time that you feel are must play.. Gotta be after 1990 (maybe even after 1995, idk) - nothing before 1990 though...

The few on my mind right now are.. Skies of Arcadia, replaying FF7, FF8, Grandia 3, vagrant story, Kingdom hearts (I never beat it!!!), different zeldas... what else is must play??

I do have working emulators for ps1 and ps2 (pcsx2) and a fully working dreamcast + xbox360

Lets see some great lists! :D

Everything else I got was already listed.

PS. if anyone has 15-20 mins later tonight to walk me through emulator install i would be very appreciative. I tried for an hour to get ePSXe to work and fucking failed miserably. I don't get how to do this at all and all the readme's are garbage

PC
-Fallout 1 & 2
-Descent 1 & 2
-Baldur's Gate series - The first BG was just remade (BG:EE) to use the BG2 engine and D&D rules as well as updated resolutions, BG2:EE will be out soonish, if you get around to playing this series I suggest using these versions as being forced to play in 640x480 or 800x600 in this day and age sucks with a widescreen. Both games have plenty of user mods, also. Custom NPC's, quests, areas, items, etc.

NES
Bubble Bobble
Super C (after Contra ;) )
Kirby's Adventure Land

more to come running out of time
