Well, few days ago i remembered some old games and i try to find it on net... Thanks to some of you for help on DARK SEAL...

The thing i want to ask you is:

WHAT IS YOURS FAVORITE OLD GAME?
(that is played on nothing newer than 486...)

Well my favorites are:

-Dark Seal... brrr... (neo-geo)
-Metal Slug 1,2,3,x the best arcade shooter (neo-geo)
-Pirates pure legend (commodore)
-Maniac Mansion & Zac McKracken (commodore)
-Creatures 2 (commodore)
-MDK1 (one of best game ever made!) (PC 486)

And for end COMIX ZONE (Sega Genesis), one of most orifinal games that I've played.

Manic Miner - fun, although somewhat impossible (speccy!)
James Pond - quality fish platforming action (amiga)
Goldenaxe - far too easy, but the most polished game ever imo, a joy to play (megadrive)

ah the old bbc...the essential of the 20th century classroom. i loved repeatedly flaming those games where u get this guy tellin u where u r and u say things like "north" and "east" to move about. if i wasnt flaming it i was asking it why i was eaten everyt time i went up the stairs even though i was fully armed.

I agree with Jobabob in Golden Axe, it was great... But the Manic Miner?s Wally saga was... Annoying. Those colors on my amstrad computer are still in my nightmares, as well as the impossible figure that appeared on the title screen.
I liked those games in which you had to write the thing you?d want to do. They were very popular in Spain, there was even one that could speak (seriusly!!!!), it took 256 k on a floppy disk. Was great.
And my favourite games of all time... Don?t know, maybe Super Mario Bros, the Legend of Zelda, Ninja Gaiden (I loved NES). I played Livingstone Supongo and La Abadia del Crimen in my amstrad, but I guess these were only published here. As for international games on computers... I don?t know, maybe Doom (a legend) and much earlier I would say Total Recall, Supertripper, Raid over Europe, Pyjamarama... These kind of games.

Cronotrigger - One of the best role-playing games I ever played
Yoshi's island - The probably best platform game ever.
Mariokart - Only racing game I like
Donkey Kong 1 - Well it was uh, original

And there's more
although I can't remember them.

the best ever racing game of all time has to be crash team racing. you just do not get better mp than it.
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-07 10:37:13 UTC Post #6915
Errr... Nothing was funnier than Enduro Racer and Out Run. Those were really fun racing games despite the lack of realism.
And The Atari thing was... Awesome!!!!. It looked crappy but we thought it looked real good with that Superman game, the Star Wars one... There were another consoles that also looked crappy (my uncle had one) but now I can?t remember their name.
By the way, did you know that a plug and play atari has been re-released?. It has games in its memory, seems to look cool (nostalgic sigh).

Atari is before my time : my first console i got was a 8-bit sega mega drive, and now i lost it :(. that rocked!
The best roleplayin game/adventure game: Final fantasy vii!!
ownage! Chocobos!

Hey, anyone ever hear of 'Night Stalker' its an ancient dos game, but as far as tension and gameplay goes, it rivals some doom maps...
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-07 17:03:36 UTC Post #6941
Cmon guys, we're talking RETRO here, no mariokart nonsense goddamit!

I love my old adventure games:
Cruise for a corpse (wow at the time, and still a great story)
Beneath a Steel Sky (really gripped me when I played it again last year)

A cut from the game:
SAVE THE WORLD
I can't do that

LEAVE THIS HOUSE BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED
This room has a window which is locked.

BREAK THE WINDOW
The window is made of glass
So basically a verion of dart :)

Grim Fandango might not be old but It's one great adventure game, tried it Die@Hard? :)
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-10 09:56:00 UTC Post #7126
I would have to say Chaos Engine for Amiga, i used to play that game all day with my brother...it's really fun=)
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-15 05:18:40 UTC Post #7826
Grim Fandango is a great game.... "I'M READY TO TAKE YOU NOW..."
I've loved that scene when that big guy (i can't remember his name) says:
"Menny, oh Menny they FIRED me!!!"

I love adventures. Gabriel knight is a great serial (second part is the ok, but 3rd is best)

Good old times... I played LaserSquad and UFO alot with my friend with pc386. Some names comes to mind from amica500 i think: California dreams, Lotus, AnotherWorld. If we go back to c64 i have to say BruceLee was a hit :D
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-17 14:19:01 UTC Post #8096
Heheee... Bruce Lee... Annoying music on Amstrad.
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-19 04:23:46 UTC Post #8345
yeah, Another World. It was a first game with 3d opening scene...
brutal.

Final Fantasy for me need i say more, (oh and yes i do) resi-evil 1 was good.
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-19 21:16:31 UTC Post #8475
Duck Hunt??!!!. Damn, you had NES too Jobabob!!!!. I mastered Duck Hunt, I could shoot in any position :P. Operation Wolf was also funny, but, do you remember one game in the same line, "Prohibition"???. It had good music!. I remember playing it in arcades and later in my computer... In those days Amstrads, Spectrums, Commodore and, of course, Amigas, were better playing machines than our beloved PCs.

DOOM, DOOM II and Wolfenstein 3D all rocked! They were the first proper first-person-shooters!
m0p m0pIllogical.
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-20 13:24:48 UTC Post #8548
no they were the first proper 3d shooters. Everyone thinks of them as great games so think of something original dammit.
Posted 20 years ago2003-12-20 17:17:21 UTC Post #8572
