Hey guys, a nice casual 'Tech Lounge' conversation for ya'll, what was your favourite old school game? Like, pre-95 I guess would be a good cut off. Why was it?
Mine was Flashback, on the PC and Genesis. Maddest platformer ever, coz of amazing stunts and usage of a single pistol. A thinking persons platformer you might say.
Also a poll, what was the best old school 3d-Shooter, Doom, Wolf3d or Quake (Quake not as old, but still).
moon cresta.
Lords of Midnight - still as great a game now as it was on the Spectrum back in 84-85 :thumbs:
CastleVania, or Megaman 3, and then Konami's 6 player X-Men arcade game.
Spectrum: F-19 simulator
PC: Blood
Xaxxon on the console. Had a cool almost 3d quality to it.
I liked 1943 arcade....sweeeeet
Pitfall on the Atari 2600 was interesting....one of those games that never ended. No, NEVER.
Legend of Zelda, the original.
Defender (first game I flipped the score on).
Contra
Mega Man II
Street Fighter II
Doom II
Seeing a pattern here?
A handful of games where the sequel was better than the original...though I still think 3 was the best of the Megaman series. :)Quote:

Always liked Sega Genesis...
Herzog Zwei
Toe Jam & Earl
Also Gunsmoke and Trojan for Nintendo...
Metroid
Galaga
Mine is weird, I guess. Does anyone remember an old game for the 486 called Jazz Jackrabbitt? Great sidescroller!
I wanted to pick Quake III, but you only had Doom up there.
Awwww hell yeah.Quote:

Look for emulators.Quote:

Meatwad, thanks for bringing this up. I had heard about this when I was younger, but never got to play it. I know what I will be doing the rest of the day at work! :thumbs:Quote:

Great Fottball: The tinny announcer yelling "intocepcion" and "tudow". The magical way you held in the air at the goal line while the slow ref had to run down the field, your legs pumping all of the time.
Missle Defense 3d: Save East city and West city from war! You have 3 chances to shoot the missles down, since you can easily travel faster that a missle! The screen vibrated and had double vision, which made it tough to watch if someone else was playing. :thumbs:
I thank you. And as soon as I tell him, my dad will thank you.Quote:

The only UT that was ever authorized to remain on my PC longer than 2 weeks was UT 2003/2004. Unreal 3 might also make it.
Everything else UT was diarrhea.
The greenish, chunky kind.
On C64 - Autoduel - I spent years on this game
On PC - Transport Tycoon
Privater
Civ
Anyone ever play Law of the West on the C64?
Don't remember that one !!!Quote:
