Default Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?

Since the Game Thread is pretty much all new stuff, I'd like to see if anyone's playing any of the old stuff (Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, Turbo Grafx, Neo-Geo, N64, PS1, emulators, etc...)
Also, anything retro on the Wii Virtual Console or PS3, XBox 360, or PC too.
I've been playing Punch-Out, Tecmo Bowl, Contra, Castlevania, Earthbound, and TMNT: The Arcade Game of late.

Anybody else into retro gaming?

Other notables I've played of late:

Kid Icarus
Metroid
Battletoads (The Arcade Version)
Excitebike
Super Mario All-Stars
X-Men: The Arcade Game
The Avengers
Mega Man 2

Old school gamers, recommend something good.

Kung-Fu

California Games
Star Fox

Some of the best

Star Fox for SNES?
I might have to revisit Skate or Die and California Games. I loved Skate or Die when I was a kid, but couldn't figure it out when I revisited it last year.



And how could I forget the most AWESOME game of all time:

STREETS OF RAGE 2! The soundtrack alone puts it in the top ten, but the gameplay for a beat'em up makes it my favorite of ALL TIME.

Does the bouncing back and forth give you a headache?

Never was good at either Pong or the more modernized Breakout, but I still respect both games.

I don't own any new game system. I bought a PS2 a few years ago when I quit drinking to keep me occupied. Now it doesn't hold my attention for more than a few minutes. I still have my original NES from 20 or so years ago, along with a few games. Commando, Gunsmoke, Gradius, Contra, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Skate or Die 1 & 2, World Cup soccer, Super Spike V-Ball... and of course all 3 super mario's.

But my favorite was always Breakthru. That game is the isht.

I used to play Kid Icarus all the time. Loved that game. I still play RBI Baseball on the NES when I visit my parents.

Love the feature to buy old school NES games on the wii. I have punch out and smb now and looking to get more. Also went out to get the old school controller a few months ago, much better than trying to use the wii controller to play.

The old school controller is awesome just b/c of the retro look, but if you want a more accurate controller for games such as Punch-Out, I would suggest looking into a GameCube controller that you'll actually have to plug in. The wireless remotes have a very slight delay and can hurt you on games like Punch-Out.
