Old School Video Games : NES, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo and N64
Ranked #99 in Games, #3,131 overall
A page for old school gamers who enjoy playing vintage video game systems such as the NES, Atari, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo and N64. This is a lens of my classic game memories and where to obtain some of these old school games online. Take a walk back in time with me to the golden age of gaming when Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Mario and Sonic ruled the gaming world.
I really enjoy playing old video games for the systems such as the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, my 2 all time favorite systems. My goal is to promote the classic video games that we played in the past and hopefully still play occasionally. Those who are in their mid 20's and older can really relate to this lens. I started out on the original NES system when I was about 8, and at that time, I was blown away with how awesome it was. Who could have known that in 25 years what the graphics and game options would be? I remember blowing on the old NES carts and reinserting the game until the system worked and breaking out the rubbing alcohol with the q-tip to clean the contacts. I was so pumped up when the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo came out because they functioned better with minimal blowing, cleaning, and better graphics without having to wiggle the game around until you found that special spot. Those were the days I remember with much fondness and spent a great deal of time playing my favorite games. My 2 favorite systems of all time are the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis with the Sega getting the overall edge.
My 8 year old is an ace at the Nintendo Gamecube, PS2 and Nintendo Wii and yet where I used to think I was a pretty good gamer, in modern games, I'm not as good as I'd like to be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy trying to play the Wii and Gamecube but primarily keep playing my old systems.
I'm a diehard Nintendo fan and was a huge Sega fan as well. I was heartbroken when Sega closed up shop in regards to making systems though they still have involvement in producing games, etc. I have dozens of favorite games ranging from rpg's, shooters, action and adventure, strategy, etc. Some of my favorite games among various systems: All TMNT games, all Super Mario Bros, Dune, Golden Axe 1 and 2, Super Metroid, World Driver GT, Bass Hunter, Phantasy Star's, Dragon Warriors, Zelda games, and Sonic the Hedgehog series. This is just a small percentage of some of the games I played the most and probably left a few hundred off the list:) I also remember playing on the Atari 2600 and 5200 system at my friend's home but never had an atari growing up.
Please feel free to post here, contact me, suggest duels, etc. I have another squidoo lens where little Howie and I tackle old school games together to see how we do. May 27th, we just beat Golden Axe 2 on the Sega Genesis. If you're a gamer and love old video games, check that out as well since it will interest you. On another note, in regards to buying/selling online, I'm NOT A FAN of the auction site EBAY. Their fee increases and lack of respect to sellers with radical changes for corporate greed turn my stomach. I ran a store(s) there for a number of years until I closed them down due to these reasons. Currently I am selling at Atomic Mall so feel free to check that site out and hopefully my store. I welcome any and all comments and feedback.
Check out what I have in stock
Awesome games RPG's and classics I've added recently to my Atomic Mall store or will be stocking as soon as I can get them listed
I sell games because I like some money for my hobbies like collecting video games I currently don't have, marbles,and buying my boys things they like (toys and video games). Also, I like to share some of the best games with everyone. I love talking about games so feel free to chat about various games, I'm into that. If you have ever beaten Dune The Battle for Arrakis we are like family. I confess I have only beaten the game in House Atreides and almost made it in Ordos many times. That is my all time favorite game right there so tell me yours. Feel free to leave a note or contact me if you're an old school gamer. August 2011 EDIT: I have sold many of these games listed above in the 3.5 years when I wrote this and need to restock my store. In the next month or so will have a few hundred more to add. I just have to go through them, test them, etc before listing them.
I just posted photos of Golden Axe 2 which Howie and I just beat. This is a great Sega Genesis game that I enjoy, and I'll continue to update photos every now and then.
