Hey guys,
Just thought it would be some sort of inspiration to discuss our favourite old school games,

My favorite Game of all time; Which I'm classifying as old school has got to be Alien Hominid by The Behemoth studios :)
(Made in 2003 for PS2 & xbox, Based on a 90's Game :) )

    If the GCN is considered "old school" then I would say Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. I love that game sooo much. Best zelda EVER. :D
