Wings
Maniac Mansion
Super Frog
Alien Breed (oh yes!!)
North and South
Walker
Settlers
Elite 2 (though Elite was better imo)
Flashback (which I also have in the MD)
Another World (class but what a crap ending!)
Pinball Dreams
Stuntcar Racer

That's all I can think of at the moment but man those were the days.

If the N64 counts as old-school, then I would have to say GoldenEye. If that's too new, then it's t3h Mario shiznit.

Frogger and Pit Fall were classics on the Atari. on the nintendo, Mario and Excite bike.

on Sega, Sonic, definately, and Toe Jam and Earl was cool. Also, Altered Beast. classic. on regular nintendo, street fighter. and Zelda.

on Super ninento, Mario again. mario 3 was best i think. also Rock and Roll racing. i played that for months. Donkey Kong country is good too. and Zelda

playstation, Battle arena Toshinden, Suikoden, Need for Speed, and of course, FF7.

any final fantasy untill 10 is good.

I think the "Marathon" series is very important to the Xbox society because it was Bungie's first game (started in 1993) My avatar is the symbol for Marathon and an honor to Halo. If you look at the screen shots of Marathon you can see it is awfully similar to Halo and Halo 2 - Check out this pic and compare to Halo's skulls...

The purpose is to blow up that big Green stations every level, but they send out fleets, and there are astriods flying to throw you off.

River City Ransom all the way, I don't know about the GBA version though, haven't played it yet. Flashback was also fantastic.

Commander Keen? Just played it a couple of weeks ago, don't remeber which one... Graphics were unbearable! I don't normaly say that, fun game though.

Wolfenstien3D was the first game I play on the Mac, back in 03.
There was another game, I wanted to mention, but I can't remeber what it was.
(some dude with a cap pulled to low over his eyes, wlaks around a TV Station with a remote that works as a gun, Math educational)

I post to much about this game... Doom2 based free game.

CHEX®QUEST!
