What is your favourite old school video game? (Now with a poll!)

I limited it to games from the 80s and earlier.

My fav will always be tetris. The gameboy version practically raised me as a child

Good lord there's a lot of good selection in there. Gonna say Pac-Man because it's the first game I ever played in my life. I was memorizing clearing patterns on my grandma's atari when I was 4! Used to be able to make it to one of the keys before my noob ass got handled by those ghosts though.

Wow. Great thread. My favourite is not on the list so I wont vote but it is called Wonder Boy in Monster Land for the Sega Master System. I think by just saying that I have dated myself. lol.

I still pull out my Atari 2600 and play Pac-Man and Decathalon once in awhile.

I remember spending so many lunch hours at the arcade playing Double Dragon. I downloaded Double Dragon on my XBOX360 and was surprised how easy it was....finished the whole game in less than an hour.

niiice, though I only played arcade - when you could beat this game in 1 quarter and pull off the "67 golds" trick more than half the time in all the possible spots, you were pretty hardcore!

Also, Star Wars was always good times. Whoever was playing below failed to use the force though and missed out on the hardcore bonus (not supposed to fire at anything except a single shot into the exhaust port in the trenches)
