So many, I'll probably forget quite a lot but oh well

Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Rampage World Tour, Star Wars Battlefront I and II, Alien Hominid, Destroy All Humans, Tekken 5, Freedom Force, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Okami, Sly Cooper, NFS Underground, MDK, Rayman, MoH Underground, Age of Empires, Ape Escape

I miss games which were all cartoony and imaginative, too many games try to be as realistic as possible these days

Either I'm ****ing old or these aren't old school.

Streets of Rage. Around 1996. Played hours and hours with my Dad.

Good times.

Streets of Rage, hell yeah!

Walkin' the streets, fightin' goons. Doesn't get better than that.
Definitely this game

In the year that Mario 64 and Quake came out you preferred to spend hours playing a Megadrive beat em up that came out 5 years before?
If old school is before the Xbox360 came out, I go for Jet Set Radio Future on the original Xbox.

If old school is before the Dreamcast came out, I go for Lemmings on the Amiga, Banjo Kazooie / Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64 or Metroid Prime on the Gamcube.

Just Metroid Prime if only choosing one.

Old school is before the Saturn and original Playstation were released. Up to the late 80s for me.

And Metroid Prime (and the Gamecube) were released in 2002. The Dreamcast was released in 1999...The Dreamcastm the first released console of its generation, was effectively dead by the time the Gamecube was even released.
