But, instead of everyone just listing all the old games they like and everyone talking about different games, I decided to this a little bit differently. One person will name a retro game that they really like, post info and maybe some screens, and then will discuss the game. After a certain amount of time we'll go to another game and so on.

I'll start off with Guardian Legend.

For some reason it's one of my most memorable NES games, along with Zelda and the Mario series. Guardian Legend is a blend of Zelda-like dungeon levels and top-down shooting levels. I think one of the reasons I remember it so well is because of the music, which was pretty good for an NES game. I don't remember ever getting very far in it, I was only about 5 or 6 when I got it, but I probably played the first level a hundred times.

You are right!! Excellent game!! I have the whole soundtrack!!
