Old games

[Da1andonly]

ps. anyone remember Ugh!?

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

I played 3-4 of the King and Space Quest games. The games by nature were slow and not very memorable. A few moments remain with me, such as running your 2 pixel butt off for 5 minutes to escape a pissed off witch.

I've come to the conclusion, after many years, that you and I are just diametrically opposed. I, for instance, like good things.

My list:
-F19-Stealth Fighter (absolute classic Sid Meyer game)
-Wing Commander
-Tie Fighter
-King's Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-4, Hero's Quest (aka Quest for Glory 1-3), -Police Quest 1-3 (who could forget the 'driving' part of Police Quest??), Leisure Suit Larry 1-4
-Adventure Construction Set (awesome old school EA RPG creator game)
-Rampage
-Syndicate
-Lode Runner
-Decathalon (based on 1980 olympics with Bruce Jenner)
-Digdug
-Links
-Dune 2
- Sun Tzu's Ancient Art of War

Hells yes on all of those. I remember playing Decathlon on my family's first IBM PC. Nothing compares to the tactile feedback of slamming your index fingers on two keys to run (Wasn't it like A and S or Z and X? Whatever the keys were, it was on the old LOUD-click IBM keyboards.), then timing that f'ing javelin throw.

And surprisingly enough, after my last post, I was talking with a guy out at work, and he had never heard of Lode Runner (it actually came up in conversation--I called MS Publisher the "Print Shop of MS Office". If you get the reference, you're an old bastard too).

I agree with Fluffz that LHX Attack Chopper was a hell of a game, as well.

Worms still is a classic.

Fuck yes.

And no one's said a peep about any of the Sierra "Quest" games (King's Quest, Space Quest, muuu'fuckin' Hero's Quest)? Either I'm an old bastard, or you all are uncultured fucks.

Why is Shierra not listed? Police Quest. Kings Quest. Larry. Etc.

thats the same i was wondering about. tons of hidden humor in those games. especially space quest.



At junior school, we went on camp. And one night we did a trivia with the group, and we came to the last question. Surprisingly, I had all the other questions correct. The last question was "What is Sierra". The natural answer was "a type of car of the brand Ford" (in europe).

However, I filled out "a game maker company. example: KQ, PQ or SQ". This was my bonus answer, noone else would have this answer! This would be the cherry on the icecake! For the first time in my life i coulda had a 100% score!

What happend? The teacher never heard of it and didn't believe me. The red pencil went thrue my last answer. It's still a trauma, because i was fucking right.

HAhahah yes, it was 1212121 and ][][][][ I believe. Man that was some hard running. I never quite figured out the javelin throw until years later, and then suddenly one day it just clicked. That was a good day. Of course I had an excuse, I was only 5 when I first played the game.

I agree with Fluffz that LHX Attack Chopper was a hell of a game, as well.

AHH that was the name of it... I kept thinking Commanche but I know that was much newer. There was nothing like blowing up endless T-72s with my LHX, that was pure bliss.

Syndicate wars was hard as hell, even when cheating I couldn't complete it

Not sure why you put in the 'wars' part in your quote of me when I didn't even put it there. Syndicate Wars was the 2nd game in the series... I'm talking about the original Syndicate!

Some arcade favorites:
Ninja Spirit
R-Type
Shinobi
After Burner 2
Super Punch-out
Final Fight
Street Fighter 2

Lately I've been playing After Burner on emulators with a flightstick. There's a version of that game on practically every platform, but it's not the same without a flightstick.

Fighting Frogs.
Combat Amphibians.
War Tadpoles.

Fixed.

1977 - Pong

1978 - StarTek (terminal/mainframe text game, answer questions for points), if you succeeded with the mission, it would print out (ascii art) the Enterprise on tractor feed paper. Networked game, too cool.
