Super Nintendo

[serpheus]

I just bought myself one of these off ebay. Its the Street Fighter 2 bundle with a copy of Super Mario Allstars (Super Mario bros. 1,2,3 & the lost levels) included aswell. I'm a massive gamer and love all the retro stuff ( i have a sega dreamcast which is class). I started playing video games in the mid 80's and used to go to the local chippy most nights to play double dragon, do you remember when you had to put your 10p down to secure next go. Anyway i bought this today because it was the same bundle that me and the brother were eagerly anticipating getting around 1992. We had our whole room covered in posters of SF 2 on the walls and ceiling and what did our mother get us a week before christmas day only the Super mario world bundle:( well she was made to bring it straight back and get the SF 2 bundle which only had one bloody controller. Any snes fans or even sega mega drive fans on here with similiar stories or a love of retro games?

My cousin had a amiga..Good i loved that.He used to have sensible soccer on it,the one where you can manage as well as playing.I used to love it...So my mam thought she was doing something good when she bought me the commadro 64.And i got Paper Boy(remeber the game where you threw papers at things while on a bike) and a few other games...

Next for me was the sega mega drive..Which i got sonic with and a few other games..Loved the old stuff..

I got a SNES for my bro as a present last year as it was the best times I remember growing up with him, we fought like nuts over it and broke joypads to beat the ban but good times, not sure he plays it, maybe I'll get a loan of it ;)

Its my favourite game of all time mate, i'm gonna splash out for a decent copy of it when i have the money.

[Aido82]

Basically it is a software application that runs all the old games.

From what i remember you place a rom (that is the game) into a folder on your laptop/pc and mame recognises it and starts it up.

The cool thing is roms are only like 2-3mb for the snes and megadrive games, so there are literally hundreds of them

had the commodore 64, man i hated it, remember you had to press run..shift...start... and press play on the tape deck and wait 30 mins for it to load up, and most of the time it would crash just before your about to play it, and as for the best arcade game of all time(80s) KUNG FU MASTER

[carpe diem]

oh god,spent the most part of a relationship watching her play mario on the super nintendo,and there's me thinking it was dead and buried :mad::D,made my day when mario got killed sinking into a pit of burning hot molten lava :D

[F@ces]

All I can say is - Super Mario Kart. The SNES version still hasn't been beaten imo (particularly Battle Mode which is just excellent). A great great great game.

You need to get Mame 32 pal....Has Kung Fu Master and its an arcade rom so it looks, sounds and plays like the arcade..you even have to press a key to insert credit before you can play!!!! :)

If you have a Wii they also have some Commodore 64 games on the Virtual Console. Not many mind.

Man, remember once I made it all the way to level 100 or so of Bubble Bobble on the C64. Only had a couple of lives left, and croaked it. Tape had to be reloaded for level 1. Part of me died inside.

I still have my megadrive, with Streetfighter2, Golden axe, streets of rage, shinobi, strider, super hang-on and all the old Fifa's...

Before that i started with a Nintendo NES i think it was super Mario and Duck Hunt package...:)

We still have our NES at home in a box with Duck Hunt and Mario. We het it out every few years for a bit of craic. Loved Duck Hunt! The aul lad was/is useless at it. It frustrates him more than golf! :D

[vodkacolly]

Super Mario Kart on the Snes is still my favourite console game ever. Pity it was only 2 player not 4.

[McLovin]

Internatinal Superstar Soccer was one of the best games on the SNES, that and Street Fighter 2. Me and my brother got a lend of Supperstar Soccer of our mate, it was only out a couple of weeks at the time, we loved it that much that every time our mate called to the house after that we got our ma to tell him we wheren't in so we didn't have to give him his game back. The Kray brothers eat your heart out. It took our mate about 6 months to get the hint.

Anyway, it was the worst thing my ma could of done, me and my brother battered each other every night of it. Great times.

Defo gonna try get my hands on one now, a couple of pairs of boxing gloves aswell.

Still have a Sega Master system at home :D How i love sonic with crap graphics :D
