Going to have to bump this, and bring this thread to life.

I'm an avid retro gamer, and collect everything from the Atari 2600 up to mid 2000s (And current, obviously) game wise. My favorites are split mostly into two eras...1982-86 on computers (Apple II, mostly) for the RPGs / Adventures like Ultima and King's Quest. And 97-99 for the absolute wealth of games in every possible aspect.

Also a big fan of classic handheld gaming, be it on Game Boy, Lynx, or Game Gear.

My favorite old school video game is also my favorite game, period:

(Also, yes, I know I just posted a review of it. That was on purpose. )

I replay it at least twice a year, once on Halloween, and then again on my birthday.

I am a huge fan of Pitfall from the Atari. Didn't like the SEGA version, but played it so I could play the hidden Atari version. I also liked playing the original Frogger. It was a game me and my grandmother played together.

Also, Rygar on the NES is definitely in my top 5. I couldn't believe Nintendo didn't include this game on the Mini.

Rygar is fun, and had a really fun Atari Lynx port.

Ever play Pitfall II on 2600?

I can't say that I have. I played II on the NES though.

I find pretty much all of the original Pitfall enjoyable. Though not so much the later 3D games.

I'm pretty much the same. I'm kind of wanting to play some Zelda, but Dr Mario is another I've been playing on lately. I'll start playing Zelda, get through the 3rd or 4th dungeon, then I'm like let's play Dr Mario. I can easily get lost playing it and 2 or 3 hours have passed.
