In no order.

Tie Fighter
Sonic 2
Mario Bros 3
Resident Evil 1 remake
Castlevania 4
Metroid Fusion
Advance wars DS
Streets of rage 2
Dark Souls
Half Life

Off the top of my head, I'd be happy with those ten if they were all I had for the rest of my life. I was tempted to leave Dark Souls off as it's not really retro, but I can't, it's too good, I love it and can see myself going back to it for years to come.

[Corazon de Leon]

Off the top of my head:

Perfect Dark
Pokemon Gold/Silver
Resident Evil 4
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Timesplitters 2
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Resident Evil 2
Majora's Mask
Half Life 2
Rock Band Series

I think on reflection The Last of Us will take the place of HL2 soon.

[Dig Dug]

My top ten changes constantly.
In no order:

Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Zero Mission

Just playing through Super Metroid. Currently in Maridia and trying to grapple along this room. It's so infuriating I'm worried I might smash the SNES in anger.

The Dark Souls of it's day.

Old, but news to me, so thought I'd share: there was a Game Boy Color version of Jet Force Gemini that was practically finished, but for some reason never saw the light of day.

I don't even remember that being announced

[Hypes]

I really should play/finish Jet Force Gemini

Bless, it's sweet that you think you will actually be able to beat the final boss.

I can't remember them every announcing a GBC version either, Suzz. It isn't just our memory playing tricks on us. I think.

Bought a PS1 chunky at a car boot sale for a few quid, controller for £1, cables for £1 and bought a couple games like worms and theme park world - thing is when it's connected after the initial playstation intro the game runs but the screen flickers very fast. Very distracting... anyone know why it would do this? Console issue/ game issue? The games are pretty scratched but it does thje same thing on all 3 games i have!

[Ironhide]

Probably the cables, Try buying a component or s-video cable off eBay.

[TheTurnipKing]

I'd probably guess the console, more specifically the av cable/socket.

Which cable are you using? an RF box? Composite? RGB scart?

The PS1 Av out socket has about 12 pins. There's a lot of signals there for different cable signals, so you might try a different type.

Our new Irish stamps

[Hypes]

Oh yeah, stamps.

Very retro
