Nostolgia thread

[ekoz]

trust me, we need one. talk about anything old that brings back the good old days.

to start - a ten year old song that flo-rida recently copied the chorus of - IM BLUE!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H25lz7gchaw

i just listened to the song three times in a row...i remember how good it was, and still is. dude. if you werent around to hear this when it was popular (and it was popular for a while) LISTEN. the music video may suck, but the song is just amazing.

now spread the nostalgia

[Samail]

You'll have to explain what "nostolgia" is.

Ooh, we could use a nostalgia thread, though.

[ekoz]

DAM! i originally spealt it with the 'a' then i thought ...'i think this is wrong...'

...just listen to it.

Heh, I remember those images.

I originally typed "white", but it then occurred to me that the SNES is not white; it is a light grey.

[chimchar1337piplup]

mine is no longer grey, sadly... and part of the plastic is broken, too.

one of my fav. games as of now (ive been playin about a week and already have 180 missles, 3 health tanks, and some cool upgrades)

also this looks awesome:Metroid 2 DX (http://metroid.homestead.com/Metroid2DX.html)

edit: @everlast: i still have that box. it's holding my cabinet together. XD

[Samail]

I possess all but three in the Metroid series. (Prime 3, Hunter, Pinball)
*looks at shelf*
Metroid II secure.

[Everlast]

I played Metroid Fusion so much I could beat the entire game in a little over 2 hours.

[chimchar1337piplup]

but pinball is just prime retold in pinball form.

metroid 2 is the only metroid i have, sadly. il probly get zero mission eventually, along with the others.

[Samail]

but pinball is just prime retold in pinball form.


So... What's wrong with that?

[chimchar1337piplup]

nothing, its just its a pinball version of prime. theyre both good games, but i like the original prime better.

[Samail]

Well yeah.
I don't see Prime and Pinball as even being comparable. They're completely different games and different entities.

[chimchar1337piplup]

but with the same plot

[Samail]

Still, completely different feels and experiences.

Man, I still have to complete Prime 2...
Course it's been so long that I'll have to start over, as I can't even remember where I was going or what I was trying to do.

[chimchar1337piplup]

yah. i just picked up II a week ago, after 2-3 months of not playing it. i could barely tell what was going on.

[chimchar1337piplup]

just found this: Metroid Prime Trilogy (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=74982)

[Loofiloo]

This is some of the coolest nostalgia around for me.

The grand ol' days of pixelated point & click

metroid 2 is one of my long time favorites, and one of two sidescroller metroids that I can play without wanting to throw the bloody games at something.

I played Metroid Fusion so much I could beat the entire game in a little over 2 hours.

3 hours, I had a bad case of insomnia, and needed something to pass the time, lest I go nuts.

Still, completely different feels and experiences.

Man, I still have to complete Prime 2...
Course it's been so long that I'll have to start over, as I can't even remember where I was going or what I was trying to do.

took me a month to beat prime 2, with a text based guide that in some locations I was certain at times it was inaccurate with.....that or the author needs lessons in clarifying how the bloody **** to get past that magnatron thingy...

[Samail]

I never really got into the point & click genre. I tried...

Ever heard of Clock Tower on SNES? Still creepy and scary at times even now. I should genuinely see how well I can do one of these days...

[Everlast]

I also played Super Mario Bro. 2 all the time. I could beat it in about 30 minutes, using the shortcut jars.

[chimchar1337piplup]

i still play the original smb. recently got it for gba so i play it even more. one of the castles is still hard to me. the one where it repeats if you dont go in the right order.

[Loofiloo]

If I had to recommend one single point & click game, it would probably be Loom... Maybe Monkey Island. I actually don't like those kinds of games very much now, but my brother(s) bought several of them, and I played them just because they were there, so now they're all nostalgic.

[Everlast]

I love the Monkey Island games, they are coming out with a new one.

LINKY (http://lucasarts.com/games/monkeyisland/)

Although the graphics look bad.

[chimchar1337piplup]

already out on ipod touch

[XRaiderV1]

simcity 2000. hated 3000, it kept fighting me with the bridges.

never tried 4000.

love simcity 2000, always have, always will.

[prateek.singla]

For me, Pocket Tanks is one of the earliest games I've played. Each time I listen to Fabric of Time, I am reminded of my childhood.

[blue_moon]

Being only 16, I don't really remember that much stuff from before 1990. You know, 'cuz I wasn't in existence back then. Yeah. I went there.

However, I miss my Game Boy Color. Overall it was teh sux in comparison to what we have now, but the games were genuinely fun. I tried playing a few of them about a year ago, but whatever primitive storage devices they used no longer work. Sadface.

[chimchar1337piplup]

what? i've been playing metroid II on a gameboy advance. the only systems with a gba slot the gameboy color games dont work on are the DSs.

After several HOURS of interpretation, I found out what you were saying.

The games still work, but the internal battery that powered the primitive flash memory died, so I couldn't save anything.

[XRaiderV1]

trust me, you aint missing much.

the 1990's were practically the stone age...

[chimchar1337piplup]

then get a security wrench and open it up, replace the battery.

EDIT
C:\WINDOWS>run post-o-matic.exe

couldnt think of anything better.

EDIT II: got metroid zero mission and fusion. both for a total of 15 USD.
