- adorton 16y agoFallout 1+2 (and 3 when it gets old enough to be considered "classic")
- noahth 16y agoI still replay 1 & 2 every now and then, and I enjoyed Fallout 3 reasonably well, but I'm pretty confident it won't reach the same echelon of classic games as the first two. It's mediocre as a shooter and otherwise it's just a solid iteration of the now-standard sandbox RPG a la GTA, Oblivion, etc with the advantage that it takes place in a rich and beloved gameworld.

- MrJagil 16y agoDungeon Keeper 1 is still one of my favorites. I complete it a couple of times every year.
- jsrfded 16y agoI got my apple 2 out of storage, and my 11 year old son got addicted to Apple Galaxian. Was one of my favorite games, I thought it was interesting that even though he played modern xbox and wii games he could get so wrapped up in a game that old. Comes down to solid game mechanics and playability I guess.
- rograndom 16y agoI got my 9 yo hooked on Lemonade Stand through a Apple 2 emulator.
- mtinkerhess 16y agoZelda: Link to the Past
- danilocampos 16y agoOh, hell yes. I loved Zelda on the SNES. As immersive as was possible given the period's technology. It really took me to another place.
- saint-loup 16y agoThe question is: do you still love it? Does your son love it?
- danilocampos 16y agoI (thankfully) don't have kids. But I played it start to finish a couple of years ago and still enjoyed it, as much or more than some modern console games.
- scott_s 16y agoYes, and I don't have any children. I still play it sometimes. For me, the SNES era represents the period of "getting it" for 2D games.
- Natsu 16y agoI'm not him, but yes, I still love and play Zelda on the SNES. Even the NES one is still fun! Just try it swordless (except, of course, on Gannon). Most of the SNES-era games are still great, IMHO. It really depends on the game as to whether or not it ages well. Even classics like PacMan is still just as fun as ever. Some early RPGs? Not so much. Yeah, I still love the original Final Fantasy, but the original Dragon Warrior has a horrific grind, but so do later games like 7th Saga (a SNES game). The only thing that fixes the grind in FF1 are those two tiles where you can meet giants early and if I didn't know about them, I'd have probably given up on the game by now, because of the steep grind when you hit Elfland. That makes me believe that our tolerance for clunky UIs changes over time. For example, if I can't automatically keep my items sorted and organized without flipping things around one-by-one, I get frustrated. It's one of the few bad parts of EarthBound (a game I really loved for the creative writing... seriously, even the back of a billboard is likely to contain a joke). In that respect, Ultima has one of the worst UIs because it was so complex and people hadn't figured out how to simplify it yet. In that respect, later Ultimas seem worse to me, because each one is more complex than the last. I can still have a bit of fun with Ultima 1 on the NES. More than I have with the later ones, anyhow. I wonder if the guy who invented automatic note taking in games was playing Ultima at the time... it would make a lot of sense.
- tokipin 16y agoi play all mario games on and off through the years. mario bros, mario world, mario 64. the mechanics and "feel" are impeccable, like how tactile the control is
- thehigherlife 16y agoToe Jam & Earl
- noahth 16y agoI played Panic on Funkotron first, after which the original was painful and disappointing. Panic on Funkotron is fantastic though!
