So the other day I went out and purchased a Nintendo NES, yep that 8 bit little grey box that was all the rage in the mid-1980s. I took it home and set it up on my tv, turned in out, blew into the cartridge and started playing Super Mario Brothers!
Well all this excitement started an interesting discussion as I posted pictures of Mario Brothers, Ice Hockey and even Double Dragon on Facebook. The question became, what is the best "old school" video game?
And since I enjoy hearing what everyone here things, I figured I would post it here. So what is your favorite pre-2000 video game? Can be from any system.

I will say some of my favorites were Quake on the PC, Rise of the Triad on PC, Streets of Rage 2 on Sega Genesis, Doom 2 on PC, Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 and Knuckles on the Sega Genesis. I know I am forgetting some.
I have been collecting Sega since 2001 so I am biased towards them but I do like Nintendo just collecting Nintendo is too rich for my blood.

Chrono Trigger... the best of what the golden age of the SNES had to offer. It was the first team up of Squaresoft (Final Fantasy) and Enix (Dragon Warrior) before the two companies merged. It also had Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame doing the character designs. It was a perfect storm of talent that led to the most cherished game of my youth!
