/vr/ - Retro Games

>what was your top "feel" moment?
I was given a broken genesis and a copy of Sonic & Knuckles before I moved across the country, and I didn't think much of it for a while. After my brother had been playing Sonic Advance Flash for a while, I decided to give Sonic & Knux a try through emulation, and how good the game looked blew me away.
>at what moment did you finally realize that gaming just wasn't what it used to be (dat "aha" moment)?
After playing metroid for a bit, recommended thingys kept on telling me to play Mega Man, so I played the first game on an emulator, but forgot it. A bit later I decided to legitimately play a game, so I got roms of Megaman 1, 2, and 5, and played them through. They blew me away. Even though constant death frustrated me to the point of looking up a walkthrough, I loved the games. I then played Megaman X and Battle Network, and those games were similar, and I then went through the rest of the series (except Legends. N64 emulation tired me out after finally beating Mario 64 with the Arrow Keys.) and I loved even the batshit hard Zero games. I later was talking to my brother, and found out that he had traded a copy of Mega Man X for another game when I was really little, which made me wonder how my childhood would have been like if I had discovered what is probably my favorite retro series early. That caught me thinking about how much more I had enjoyed playing MM5 and X than every FPS ever, and here I am.

>how old are you?
18.

>when was your "golden age of gaming"?
I never got one. My family was and still is poor, so I grew up with a mishmash of things from the current time and stuff from the 90s/80s. My older brother had a Super Nintendo left over from when he was younger, and I played that a lot, and my family got a Gameboy advance that I played forever.. I would look up info on current and previous gen stuff on the internet, and fantasize, but I rarely got a chance to play one until I bought a gamecube when I was 13. As the only games I had played from that gen or up at that point were Melee and Soul Calibur 2, I got a copy of Melee. Because I had played as mewtwo at my friends house and he wasn't in the starting roster, I played as Samus because she had a basic B attack that was the same as mewtwos. That made me interested enough in the character to play Metroid Prime, which had come with the gamecube, and because of that I bought Metroid Fusion. That made me get Super Metroid, which opened the floodgate to retro games for me.

>what was your favorite console?
Gameboy Advance/Gameboy Color. As those games were more affordable, I played mostly these when I was younger. It helps that VBA works even on tech from 98.

>what were your top-5 games on your favorite console?
Pokemon Saphire, Metroid Fusion, Loz: Oracle of Ages, Pokemon Gold, and Golden Sun. My tastes have expanded since then, however.

>what game gives you the deepest feeling of nostalgia?
Links Awakening/Pokemon Gold. I played those for hours, and was totally engrossed in the worlds. They no longer are my favorite in their respective series, but they bring tears to my eyes when Nintendo gives them a proper reference. Seriously, the LA map in Four swords Anniversary made me cry.

>what game did you have the most fun playing with your friends?

Post too long, so will part 2.

Mega Man X is the easiest, and Mega Man X2 and Mega Man 3 are both high quality. Do not start on Zero, cause it will rape you.
