Your favorite old games!

[Arrowstar]

I used to play the Commander Keen series when I was young. Those were fun games!

 

[C3PO]

And how about... X-COM? Own the entire series that MicroProse made (thank you Steam! And 2K Games!)

Those were cool!:thumbup:

The one with the coolest "atmosphere" () for its time was Space Hulk IMHO.:declare:

I'm sure we can all agree on something:

Old games sure did have WAY better storylines then new ones

There are lots of crappy old games with awfull storylines

GALAGA

 

[James.Denholm]

But UFO: Enemy Unknown (I think it was called X-Com: UFO Defense or something elsewhere) was one of the games which almost robbed me of my degree!

Yeah, that's exactly right. The only problem is the bugs in it, like that difficulty bug and the base-earth-wall thing... and the source code is long gone, so it can't be officially fixed by the current owners...

I have all except part 4 here, great game and great fun. Collected the parts over the years. But I think, nobody will disagree that X-Com:Apocalypse was the coolest part of them all.

By part 4, do you mean UFO: Aftermath? Don't have it either, but it's not made by MicroProse, and the information from Wikipedia dosen't look appealing...

I'm not that old
I like Doom

Heh, I haven't played the original, however up until some time ago I had Doom 3. That scared the basgeezers out of me!

Enchanter (another Infocom game)

Wing Commander I (PC) -- I really loved that game, but I really hated flying the Scimitar on the "Hell's Kitchen" mission!

...and of course, Doom (PC)

 

[SlyCoopersButt]

And I be another Doom player. Coolhand, I have the PS1 version of it too! It was an interesting twist! The sound was especially good. I also have the complete trilogy of the Classic Doom for the PC. I mod it a lot with GZdoom. My other old favorite for PS1 is Figthing Force 2. A great game for just taking your energy out on the destructible surroundings.

Wing Commander... I have 1, 2, and 3. I LOVED that game. I even still have the orginal boxes with manuals and CD's.

I could go on and on, I have been playing video games since pong was invented.

I should start a thread for what game, if you could only play that on a deserted island.

 

[Linguofreak]

The Roguelikes, especially the *bands. Usually freeware, often open source, and lots of fun. Actually, some of the newer games in the genre are younger than Orbiter, but when your character is represented by an @, rather than some nice-looking mesh, it really gives the game an old-school feel.

 

[Master of Blades]

A-10 Cuba! and F/A-18 Korea where nice games i grew up with : D

Wing Commander I (PC)

Awww, hell! Yeah, Wing Commander too!

I saw that in a PC magazine and thought "I must get that game". Unfortunately, I only had an Amiga at the time. I was delighted when they decided to release it on the Amiga and bought it the day it was released.

Of course, it was barely playable with frame-rates probably not even reaching double-figures! But that didn't stop me enjoying it. :lol:

When I got my first PC in 1994, a 486DX33, I bought WC again. This time it was difficult because it was far too fast to control! :rofl:

I had a long-running joke with a friend whenever we heard of a new super-computer (and even with talk of the quantum computer) of "I wonder how Wing Commander would run on that". :lol:

I guess you had to be there... :dry:
