What are your favorite oldies??

[Stormfury]

As I looked through all my games I remembered how cool some of these old games are and wanted to hear what other peoples favs are. Here are my top 5:

1. Prince of Persia 1,2,and 3d. The second one was so cool I replayed it, played it some more, then played it a little more. 3d was alright, a lot of bugs.
2.The Dig. Spent so many hours playing this game back in the days. It was cool when Brink went insane, went off and got his hand stuck in a crack,and you had to saw his wrist off with an alien jaw bone!!!I thought for sure there would be a Dig II but none so far
3. Commander Keen series.
4.Captain Comic 1 and 2

and the last one

WHEEL OF TIME-This has to be one of the unrated games of all time. I still remember when I had my headphones playing it at midnight, had the volume close to full blast, and I'm just walking around when BOOM!!!the thunder hit in the game and makes me jump so bad that I knocked off the mouse and my huge stack of cds. I've seen this game for .99 cents on ebay.

And the worst game that I ever played was the odyssey. I don't see how anyone could ever conquer it without a walkthrough. Coolest part though was when you got turned into a pig

Descent, Tie Fighter, and Command and Conquer: Gold edition all rock even now.

And you forgot the best part of Wheel of Time: all the creepy stuff in the shadar logoth levels. Although 1999 is hardly an oldbie...

damn comander keen was so cool (i downloaded it a few years ago and played it all again cept keen dreams really sucks)

my favs were
DUNE2 (not dune 2000 or any other rts game but dune 2 was perfect in every way except click & drag and replenishing spice)

[Stormfury]

Forgot about descent never did beat it.

"all the creepy stuff in the shadar logoth levels."
Like those monsters that hide in the shadows and jump on you from behind??

 

[Twitch]

The text version of Zork.

Hey, you could play it on the cheapest graphics card and, at the time, it was the most engrossing game out there.

After Zork, Wing Commander, Doom, Doom 2, Quake 2 (my all-time favorite multiplayer game.)

I want to move to space, so I can overclock processors cooled to absolute zero.

 

[Stormfury]

Keen Dreams was pretty disappointing. Wasn't the only thing you had was a pogo stick??

 

[Stick_e_Mouse]

Oddly enough, my favs are from the console, not the PC:

All Final Fantasy series
All Zelda series
Super Mario 1 and 3
Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Contra 2
Crono Trigger

Water cooling is for the weak. Get liquid nitrogen.

 

[Skipper007]

I can't believe I forgot about X-COM! Must be that I didn't actually play it until around 2000 or so where as I played the others in the 90s, but even than it rocked.

Of course, I also still have the hardware to play some of these...

 

[Stormfury]

Ahhh....
One of my all time favorites was space taxi. My second favorite was Scorched Earth. I played them on my commodore 64.

Some of my fondest gaming memories came from:
Bard's Tale I
Temple of Asphai by epyx (cartridge game for C64)
Lode Runner
Robotron 2084 (I don't know how many times I played this)
Demon Attack for the Atari 2600

Wolfenstein 3D, Doom 2 were the most addictive games on the PC for. Wolf3D was mostly novelty. Doom 2 it was something about the pacing of the game, and the lighting.

Most games I get tired of very quickly. So based on games that I actually completed Fallout and SOF would be at the top of my list of oldies.

I also enjoyed BoB, Battle of Britain, and the sequel SWOTL, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Very crude graphics by today's standards but the games were extremely well crafted.

Need for Speed (1) - I haven't enjoyed any of the sequels as much. I liked Porche Unleashed but it didn't have the same addiction factor.

As a golfer (a bad one) I played a lot of Links & Links 386 in the off-season.

[HolyShiznit]

Dune 2
X-Com: UFO Defense
Simon the Sorceror
Wolfenstein 3d
Jones in the Fast Lane
Warcraft 1/2
CnC (original)
Crusader: No Remorse
X-Wing/Tie Fighter

Think I've played X-com. If its the game I'm thinking of I thought it was impossible. Could be because I only spent 5 minutes playing it. Is it like an old Deadly Games but with aliens??? X-wing and Tie Fighter was a blast. My dad had to buy 2 joystick because me and him both snapped one.

 

[Pettytheft]

1. Wasteland
2. Kings Quest
3. Fallout 1 & 2 (Not quite sure if these are considered oldies yet)
4. Battletech
5. Mechwarrior (The very first one, I'm talking the EGA graphics here)

[papasmurf]

half life, star craft, star wars rebellion, and the ultima series

In battle Israel uses F-16's and big ass tanks, Palestine uses small children strapped to bombs. Which do you support?

 

[Yahiko81]

Anyone ever play Legends of the Red dragon or Space trader or anything like that on an old BBS.

[Pettytheft]

I didn't include any internet type gaming. Never tried any BBS stuff. But I did do some Mudding. Anyone ever play Gemstone III?

Man, Red Storm Rising. I loved playing that on my C64. Just today I was talking to my brother via telephone and Gyruss came up in the conversation.

[Grub]

Red storm Rising was one of my fovorites as well. I remember it came with a cardboard overlay for your keyboard. At 11 years old, I thought that was the most complex game that could ever be made. Lots of fun...

Joust was another good one.
Transformers the Game was good as well
