I was without a current-gen (or even previous-gen) console for the majority of 2016, so I managed to play a lot of old games.gallo_pinto wrote:Love the idea of "Classic" Catch Up and like everyone else, I've got my own list I'm trying to work through. I didn't get a Nintendo console until the N64, so most of the classic games I'm trying to catch up on are NES and SNES.
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels - I'm on World 4, using save states liberally. Really difficult.
Super Mario Bros 2 - Downloaded on 3DS, but haven't started.
Metroid - Haven't touched.
Metroid 2 - Haven't touched
Super Mario World - Haven't touched
Super Metroid - Haven't touched
Persona 1, Persona 2 IS+EP - Downloaded on Vita, but haven't started
Metal Gear Solid Series - Going to play through most of it on Vita, then switch to PS3
Okami - I got to the halfway point on Wii, want to play it all the way through on PS3
From this list, I was able to knock off:
Super Mario Bro: The Lost Levels - Too hard to be fun for me, but I finished it with save states
Super Mario Bros 2 - Liked it, but didn't love it
Metroid - Didn't enjoy at all. I felt about Metroid what most of the C+R team felt about Zelda II
Metroid 2 - Enjoyed this one A LOT more. Surprisingly fun. Would love to give AM2R a shot when I have the time
Super Mario World - This 100% deserves the decades of accolades. Really great, even in 2016.
Metal Gear Solid Series - I got through MG 1+2 and MGS 1, 2+3. I plan to finish MGS4 and PW this year. It's been fun going through the series, but I haven't connected to it the way I think I might have if I'd played it at the time. Looking forward to catching up.
I'll definitely play Super Metroid and Okami this year and I hope to play the early Persona games soonish.
How are the rest of you going with this?
