I guess it depends on how retro 'retro' is.... but my favourite older games are:
-Doom (still makes me jump when playing it now!)
-Command & Conquer
-Perfect Dark on the N64 (James Bond clone - excellent 2 player mode)
-Tie Fighter (Won't run on Win 2000  )
And finally a shameless plug for the Playstation 1 I'm selling on Ebay - ideal for playing all those old skool ps1 games on (link's in my sig - have a punt!)

Loom was cool. Had it on my Atari ST.
Zak Mckraken and the alien mind benders was also a good point 'n' click classic.
Space harrier is worth a mention also
So what retro systems does everyone have here.
I have;
Sega - Master system2, Mega drive, Saturn, Dreamcast and gamegear.
Nintendo - NES, SNES, N64
Atari - 2600, Lynx and Jaguar.

Come to think of it really, most anything the Bitmap bothers touched turn to gold. Pysgnosis too. Gremlin always made quality games, and EA used ot be good in the day as well. Team 17 were gods
PC
Hmm I guess Doom is about the only "retro" game on the PC. Pretty much anything pre doom would have been a retro game now.
Speccy
Special mention of Manic Mansion on the Speccy, even though it was tape loaded it was a ton of fun.
Arcade:
Paperboy
Gauntlet
Tron
Sidewinder
Defender
Ajax
Narc
Chelnov - the nuclear running man
Moon Patrol
Bubble Bobble
Star wars - both the original wireframe games and the new one out where you lightsabre fight, its nifty!
1943

Hmm bout rounds it up for me
@masseur:
The old wireframe arcade games were very nifty |
