Anyone remember the Golden Age of computer gaming, those shareware classics that all of us have played at some point from like 93-96? Loved those games. Anyone know the name of the one shareware game, where you built fighting robots and fought like mortal kombat, but the game ran much faster and was more fun? I think Epic made it...any ideas and what was your fav?
That was a cool game! It was called One Must Fall 2097. I remember you could do some pretty weird moves, even bouncing off the wall.
Duke Nukem 1 and Wolfenstein 3D. Need I say more...
Yeah that game rocked.Quote:

I had my bot tripped out with everything! I think i still got the character file in an old backup somewhere.
I remember number munchers. I love Wolfenstein and Duke nuke'em was alright. I liked Doom back then and Zork!
my fav was one called fiddle, it was a puzzle game.
As for Zork, I could not stand the zork games
Doom ruled back in the day!
I remember when we loaded a copy of Doom on all the computers in the Computer Lab and had a massive deathmatch tournament. Damn was that awesome.
i loved wolfenstein! i could not get enough of that game. the only problem was that it gave me a killer headache... my computer must have gotten 5 fps, cr@ppy IBM 286 p.s.2
(personal system 2, not playstation 2 <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> )
i now "lovingly" refer to it now as the pos 2
Old school shareware from 93-96? Hehe, I have 2 titles that rocked at that time..
Scorched Earth
Popstar
Hey I have the PS/2 sitting on top of my desk and the damn thing still works perfectly. I just airdusted it last week! Not to mention I have the original mouse and keyboard too!Quote:

Duke Nukem for sure and Commander Keen!
Commander Keen reminded me of Super Mario Bros.
I used to spend hours playing Doom. The Simpsons add on was great.
I really like a game called "The Fishing Game" It had crap for graphics, and even though i am not a fisherman, i enjoyed that game greatly
Doom, Commander Keen Series, Duke Nuke'em Series, Wolfstein Series, Wacky Weels.
The good old Days
In the Registered (Legit) games:
Warcraft1-2, Dune1-2, Tyrian, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Golden Axe.
Mine would have been Castle of the Winds by Epic Megagames.
Anybody remembers Silkworm? now that was a fun game! and golden axe! Castle Wolfenstein and spear of destiny, my Wang 286 had some problems runing those games smooth :-)
Doom, Scorched Earth and Descent!
electroman (ne one else heard of it??? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">) and sopwith camel 2, although neither r really shareware, but many a happy hour could be had with them on me ol' 486SX 25MHz.
Scorched Earth Rules!
prince of persia (actually bought this 1), Dangerous Dave, All dukes, All dooms, all Keens, goes on and on
I convinced my school teachers that it was a Physics game and it got networked for the whole schoolQuote:

I liked Doom, Wolfenstein, Commander Keen. Also liked Wizardry, Darklands, Ultima, Moto Racer, golf, Leisure Suit Larry, Rogue, AD&D.
Me likes UT most of all, with Q3 in at a close second.
