What’s the last “retro” game you last played on its original console?

[-]

countfizix@reddit

Heroes of Might and Magic III - on PC, which is technically the original 'console.' For everything SNES (eg Chrono Trigger), I just emulate it.

[-]

ChefGreyBeard@reddit

I have a snes and nes in boxes where they are safe. I play their games on an emulator my son bought a few years ago

[-]

DrummerBob10@reddit

Fantasy Zone 2 for the Sega Master System

I also attempted to play Daytona USA on the Sega Saturn but none of the polygons load anymore.

[-]

"14% of Americans..." is a weird way to categorize this. The headline should be from the perspective of Reteo Gaming as a hobby or interest. Should just say something like:"45 million Americans have interest in Retro Gaming"

I guess it would depend on what you consider "retro". I still play on the original consoles I own so I would say Chrono Cross for the PSX (started playing it again last month). What a game ...

SMB3 was literally the only game I could get to work on my vintage NES when I decided to bust it out after the recent 40th anniversary, and believe me it wasn’t for lack of trying to meticulously scrub the contacts (on both sides) clean with specially made cleaning pads and alcohol.

Still beat it though! Though took the Switch and save states to beat it with Sledgehammer Mario.

The oldest console I've played a game on in the last ten years would be the PS3. In the last fifteen years, the Gamecube.

Growing up, as soon as a console got obsoleted, I was done with it. Atari to NES, NES to SNES, SNES to Playstation, PS1 to PS2, and PS2 to PS3, never looked back.

GarblingCumfarts@reddit

I'm generally a handheld guy these days with the Retroid. However, the NES/SNES/Genesis Mini's have been my go-to when I want to play on a television. All my systems are now boxed up as collecting for them is no longer fun.

[-]

green_tory@reddit

I have a bunch of systems in storage; I should just sell them to a retro game store, they're doing no one any good just sitting in boxes.

[-]

GarblingCumfarts@reddit

Yea I definitely can't sell mine, as they were my systems growing up and games I got from birthdays and Christmas.

I'll never forget when I was 20 and would buy up all the Saturn games for $5 a piece and the guy said "Why do you want all this junk?" and now they're worth hundreds. I still can't part with anything, as it was a part of my life.

[-]

I wanted a Sega Saturn so bad just to play Panzer Dragoon, its one of the only systems I didnt have.

The SNES is hooked up in the bedroom. It gets used frequently. It was also the last new console I had until PS3. Which I have hooked up in another room. Hooked up to a CRT tv for playing ps1 and ps2 titles on. The snes was also hooked up in there but my wife was sick and wanted to play Donkey Kong Country in bed. It like I said I got out of the console market for several years and was a purely PC gamer. And I still play a bunch of games from the 90s on that too!!

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the NHL Hockey games from the original '92 version all the way to '97.

[-]

Quiltface@reddit

I was always a "96 is better" guy So i replayed all of them for snes at least (nhlpa 93 - 98) I came to the conclusion personally that 98 was the best one.

Also in mallrats they played "nhl all star hockey"

[-]

No-Dig-4408@reddit

'94 gets most of the love because it was the pioneer, but yeah, 95\~97 had full some gameplay refinements that felt better and the improved Season mode that made me like those much more. I'm with ya on that.

[-]

Epicardiectomist@reddit

my OG SNES is currently hooked up to my TV. I've been going through and beating all the Super Mario All Stars games.

Let's be real folks, Super Mario 2 just isn't good. It probably would have been fun as Doki Doki Panic, but our nostalgia for it is definitely through fireplant-colored glasses. 1, 3, World, Lost Levels, even Land for Gameboy are all awesome in their own unique-but-familiar way, but 2 doesn't hold up the way I wanted it to.

[-]

spicybisonwings@reddit

A few weeks ago I bought Super Empire Strikes Back and Super Return of the Jedi for my SNES. What’s great is I never played them as a kid, so they are new to m. I am really enjoying all the trial and error, compared to games where muscle memory does all the work.

Still have the same one in 20" I bought new in 2002 for my first year of college. That beast has survived college, multiple moves, a decade+ of sitting unused at my dad's, and being dropped but still works as good as new. Currently has a PS1, Dreamcast, N64, and GameCube piped into the S video and a PS2 with a hard drive on the component input. Sound goes through a Sony LBT-ZX9 I also bought new when I finally finished college circa 2007. The tape decks on the stereo have been surprisingly handy to have.

I used to work in retail in the late '90s-early '00s, when I was in college. It was around the time when the Sony Trinitrol line was huge. I always wanted one, but the TV weighed about 60 pounds more than I did and I had an upstairs apartment.

Beautiful sets with the best picture I'd ever seen, but good God they were heavy.

Not original console (I've never owned my own console, not really into games).

My kid has a Switch. He's on the retro games all.the.time. He likes NES Baseball and one of the football games.

At a school event the other night, he and another kid were passing back and forth this little hand-held brushed-gold Nintendo device, playing Mario! The screen was incredibly bright and clear, I'm 99% certain it's a newer device with an OLED screen.

[-]

ExpressReveal2480@reddit

I don't even know what the last vintage game I played was but I'm totally on board with the whole whining about modern games thing.

Games were way better before online accounts, advertising, rent to play/monthly fees, constant massive load times, having to update the game the first time you put the disc in, downloading gigabytes of data, waiting for patches to arrive to fix broken games, etc..

NES/SNES/PS1/PS2/Sega all just worked and were honest fun. Realistically NES was the one I had the most fun on as a kid just cause we had it at the right age.

Hmm. On the original console? Tough call. I still have all my consoles from Atari 2600 through PS4, but anything pre PS3 I typically stick to emulation since I have a massive collection of roms and it's just easier to pull games up on the laptop.

Graphics and live interactive multiplayer have clearly changed gaming, but while the beauty of the games and ability to connect with more people are great, there is just something about the raw 8-16-32-64 bit games that makes the classics hold up. No matter the advances, gameplay has always predominated.

IMO, Goldeneye and Doom are where video games of the past are where the genetic mutation happened allowing gaming to expand in the future.

But, if they ever remake Paperboy (if they have not already) it will not even compare to the original. May be better spinning on it off into a movie.

I bought an original NES off Ebay in the early 2000s. Had to get a new RFID reader to install. Played SMB3 and Punchout hooked up to an tv/vcr crt combo. I beat Tyson. I swear to god. Never beat him as a kid but I beat him in my 20s. After that I put that game down forever.

Then I bought the NES mini in like 2016 and play it once in a blue moon.

Oh jeez, I have no idea. A few years ago I got a new console that will play my old NES, SNES, and Genesis cartridges on the one device. So original cartridge with original controller? Last week when I was showing my daughter Turtles in Time. Original console was maybe 8-10 years ago.

Pirates! on my NES.

I prefer to use emulators with USB versions of old controllers.

PlagueDrWily@reddit

Maybe 10-ish years ago, I dug out my NES for my kids to play - Super Mario 3 was the hands-down favourite and basically lived in the console, so I’m guessing that was the last one I played on original hardware.

Since then they got the NES and SNES Classics so the older games live on, although it’s still mostly Mario 3 for them.

Why is everyone referring to the Sega Genesis?

The PlayStation was released in 1994.

[-]

SlinkDogg@reddit

Because the genesis does what the PlayStation don’t

We played a lot of snes in high school well after the 64 and game cube came out. I had memories of playing a broken Super Mario World cartridges that was missing the top half. Still worked, still fun.

Ratchet and Clank on my hard drive modded PS2. I also still have a Genesis in my basement.

My buddy has me playing Zelda ocarina of time on the N64 because he was obsessed with it when he was young, and I said I never played it because it's for nerds. And some 4 player golden eye with the boys.

I’ve been playing on emulation long enough that I don’t remember what I last played on an actual console. But statistically, it was probably Streets Of Rage 2 on Genesis…

John Madden Football aka Madden ‘90 on SNES. I still emulate games and have a couple of retro consoles with preloaded games, but that’s probably the last one I played on OG hardware.

Lothonian_Jester@reddit

I think it was super Mario Bros 3 on the NES... Found one that had only been used like twice and put back into its original box and left in a well protected part of a family member's garage like 8 years ago... Then I moved three times and have no idea where it is.

GreenHairyMartian@reddit

I've recently got myself a retro handheld. I just was playing some SNES Super Mario 3.

The retro handheld and emulation world has changed a LOT on the past few years.its pretty awesome what the devices can do

The retro handheld I have is android based and can emulate any game from Atari 2600 up to, and including ps2, including Wii, wii-u, and most switch games. It can also play a lot of steam games, and it can also stream games from my Xbox series x, and my PC. It's a magical device for $250 (retroid pocket 6)

I got one of these things last fall, a Retroid Pocket Mini with this weird ass square screen. I've really put some miles on it. It was part of my plan to ditch my smart phone, it's more fun than doom scrolling.

[-]

NedStark1979@reddit

Yep. I have a Nintendo, Super Nintendo, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, DS and a whole slew of games. As well as a R36S handheld emulator preloaded with 20,000+ games from the 70’s - late 90’s. Never moved on to the modern consoles.

[-]

MysticKei@reddit

I have Mario 3 and Zelda on Gameboy Advanced 😅

I still have my PS2, and occasionally pull it out. I long since got ride of my older consoles. I still play my favorite 90’s games on my PC though.

Never had a console. I have a beige Commodore 64 in somewhat working order, a Commodore 64 Ultimate and a ZX Spectrum Next.

Depending how far back we're talking, maybe Altered Beast on Sega Megadrive. Pretty sure I still have the console and cartridge.

FaceRockerMD@reddit

I'll give a strange one. I was talking to my buddy about how it's virtually impossible to beat most sega CD FMV games because you have to know the perfect inputs to beat them so we looked up the timings of the traps on night trap, loaded up the sega CD and beat it.
