Teatowel Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hiya! I've got pretty much every console released since 1987 (except a PC Engine or Turbografx - sore point!) and up until the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube era bought and played most of the high profile, and lots of the obscure, games. I am a little addicted to buying and owning all this stuff, as unlike most other artforms, a lot of old games will simply just disappear, at least on the original system it came out on. I now have a Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 which have a decent selection of games. My Dreamcast collection is basically sorted (essentially all I needed were Shenmue 1 and 2, Powerstone, MSR and PSO). What I have missed out on are the original Xbox, GC and PS2, and to some extent, PC from 2000-now. Now I know a lot of old games are essentially obsolete, stuff like football and other sport games, but I think that there are loads of classics that I have missed out on and should probably get, with a view to finishing them sometime in the next decade! Generally I'm thinking of games that were platform specific or great updates of PS1 era games. So, what do you recommend? I have already made a list of ones that I already have or know about, but would welcome your thoughts on what I should buy. Given that Game and Gamestation are now selling games from these platforms at about £2-5 each, £50 ought to go a long way! Xbox Halo Halo 2 Prince of Persia 1, 2 and 3 Forza 1 (already completed) MGS 3 Gamecube Rogue Squadron 2 Resident Evil Metroid PS2 Maybe nothing as pretty much everything decent is multiplatform and has either come out on the Xbox, Xbox 360 or PS3? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmarky Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Try find Tokyo Extreme Racer for the ps2, the game is seriously crap but the addiction level is high. Me and my house mate played that game for 3 days straight with no sleep. Timesplitters 1 and 2 are probably my favourite games on the ps2, pure classics. Just thinking about thise games makes me want to get my ps2 out the loft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Snes:ISS Deluxe Mario World Rock N Roll Racing (i love this game!) Mario Kart You left out Secret Of Mana, you heathen! I cant stand RPG games at all... the only ones i've ever been able to play through are Shenmue 1 & 2, Zelda: Link's Awakening, and Mystican Ninja Starring Goeman (on the N64). ...But i appreciate that that Secret of Mana/Evermore were some of the all time greatest RPGs..
