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.

Too many great games, couldn't make a solid choice either. I forgot Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

CW3 (Join to see) - I forgot that it came out prior to 2000, that game has been ported so many times, and has been often imitated. That was a true classic.
