Ill second that, but only the real Nintendo 64 version. I have no appreciation for a game that is done on high tech equipment, and on top of the emulation for some reason is never perfect.

I nomiate Space Megaforce (Super Aleste) simply because I've been playing (again) it a lot lately.

Also, not that I don't like the thread and perhaps because I have a raging migrane but, doesn't the topic of retro game of the year seem a little odd to anyone else?
However, I'm actually excited because I might discover something new in this thread~

my picks:

Metal slug anthology
Castlevania dracula x chronicles

also did anybody play Final fantasy anniversary? and if a ps1 game remake can compete then my winner is:

Final fantasy tactics the war of the lions

Is that game on the VC now?
As for the topic, this is my third year of doing it

(but the first time I have done nominations and voting)

Mountain of Faith - Shanghai Alice/Touhou.
The Touhou games are the donmaku shooters that I talk about all the time. Here is a video of the gameplay, keep in mind they were completely made by one guy:

Atleast watch 1:36 to 1:50 - it is alot prettier when it hasnt been compressed.

The demo can be downloaded from a lot of places but Pireze, a fellow Touhou enthusiast, has it on his site:

I forgot to mention the Red Star. That game is fantastic old school fun.

I'll second FF Tactics. Haven't played the PSP re-release, but the original game is very solid.

@DDD:
It might seem counter-intuitive, but I think it's a great idea. With XBLA, PSN, VC and two strong handheld devices all out there now, old-school gameplay is kind of coming back in a lot of ways. There's a lot of remakes and re-releases but lots of good new stuff, too.
