Recently I have noticed that a lot of stores that buy/sell/trade are starting to carry an inventory of retro games, Nintendo has been doing this as well with the Virtual Consoles, and we are seeing a lot of retro remakes, or even new games designed to look and feel like retro games.
Being a product of the 80's myself, I have a fond memory of my Sega Mastersystem, Collecovision, and NES, and with recent games like Hotline Miami, and Retro City Rampage I am starting to get nostalgic all over again. Some of these new remakes, or relaunches are falling flat for me though, as Double Dragon Neon atleast felt like DD, but personally felt Tommy Tallarico(composer for Earthworm Jim) would have done a better job on recreating the music for this one, and then there is always the online multiplayer Castlevania that came out on XBLA & PSN, that lacked absolutely everything that made Castlevania games great, while Shadow Complex brought back the Metroid-Vania gameplay in a great way.
So my question to you is, what games from the 8-32bit era do you have fond memories of, and what forgotten gems would you love to see get the retro treatment?
