Eldude did you ever clock Pitfall on Atari 2600? I played that game for what felt like a eternity and it didn't seem to end.
One of my favorite retro game would have to be Asteroids on 2600 which I did clock

Joust,Galaga and river raid were some of my favorites as well.

How old does a game have to be before it's considered retro?
Anyway, I would have to say the old Sonic games on the Sega.

Oh, and the Earthworm Jim games too.

Guyver. When you got to the last level of pitfall....and onto the next level..... You went back to the start..... Asteroids was good on the 2600, I think it came with the console. Beats the hell out of the original arcade version which is the one they ported to the DS which I just reviewed.

Eldude said: I just finished writing a review on the Retro Atari Classics and then started thinking about what my all time favourite reto game was.
Now I have been around for a long time and have been gaming since about 5 or earlier so this was 30 years of gaming to think about.
In the Arcade I will have to say Yi Ar Kung Fu was my all time favourite.
On Atari 2600 I liked playing Pitfall 1 and 2
C64 is tuff for me I played alot of not so popular games. I think Beach head was great and I liked International Karate and the series of leaderboard golf games (Yi Ar Kung Fu on C64 as well). Told you this one was hard for me.
I liked Super Mario Bros 3 on SNES.
What was/is your favourite retro game?

congrats on yor review

my favorate retro games are as follows
NES:Metal Storm

SNES:Snset Riders(co-op)

N64:Super Smash Bros.

Game Boy:Tetris

Probably not, I wouldn't call it Retro. My favorite would be Space Invaders, I love that game so much.

Nope, nothing.

Wikipedia: "Retrogaming is a pastime which is becoming increasingly popular where individuals play video games on vintage computers and games consoles; although the idea of what constitutes a vintage or retro machine is one open to debate."

I'd say anything made before 1995 or 1990.

If you want to define retro gaming loosely then I would say anything that is out of production but personally I would say if play it off a cartridge then that falls in the retro section for me(excluding the DS)

So you say Game-Boy Advance is Retro. You know what, this would be a good Poll idea.

I don't know how Eldude could not have mentioned Guardian on the C64. That was gold, like a free-roaming Starfox.

My favourite is probably A Mind Forever Voyaging by Infocom. Text adventures are undoubtedly retro.
