The SNES version of rock and roll racing is much better than the megadrive version :cool:

Hell yes it is :rockout: Love playing that game, still use quotes from it today, like if my friend goes down the wrong street id say<*Steve is headed the wrong way* :laugh: or *Steve looks lost out there* lol

I reinstalled Age of Empires 3 over the weekend. It made me cry about how bad SupCom2 and C&C4 really are. RTS games, pffft.

I actually prefer AoE2, but you have to jump through hoops to get it to work in widescreen, and even then it isn't "right". I might build a legacy system just for it.

It goes without saying. Those games were FANTASTIC. True story. I ordered QFG2: Trial by Fire, and sent my payment in for both the game and the hintbook. I guess my dad shorted them for the hintbook, but they sent it anyway with a note saying I should pay for one next time.

Sierra was an awesome company for a teenager.

Before I started PC gaming a couple of years ago, I kept up with playing my older games a lot more. If I ever get back to it, here's what I'd be playing:

Final Fantasy VI/VII/VIII/X
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Shadow Hearts/Shadow Hearts Covenant

I used to cycle through these games every few months since their release. I still get the urge to replay them regularly, it just seems like I never have time anymore. :( Back in the SNES days though, I would just cycle through FFVI, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana. I did that until I got a PS1 in '99.

5. Rogue Spear

Often it has nothing to do with the games themselves—it's pure nostalgia for some of them. But Delta Force BHD and NFSMW are truly downright fun.

Hero's Quest / Quest for Glory - 1 & 2 ( After they went "all-mouse" - It kinda killed adventure games for me)
Diablo 1 & 2 - WITH HIGH RES PATCHES - It's like a brand new game!
Dungeon Keeper
Starcraft 1 - WITH HIGH RES PATCHES - It's like a brand new game!

Honorable Mention :

Legend Of Kyrandia Series
