My old favourites were Time Pilot and Bosconian, but there were so many more from the mid to late '80s.

The Contra games for the original nes will be my favorite of all time. Take no names, kick all ass, and look like Rambo while doing it. Nothing compares for me.

Ahh yess..Contra. It's one of my favorite games of all time as well.

My Amiga A1200 (33MHz processor - called Fat Agnes - with 10Mb RAM. Hard!) still gets usage, mainly for SWOS because it's such a kick-ass game. Back in the days when computers were good and not plastic hell boxes.

Oh yeah....still got my 600. Best games were:
It came from the desert I & II
Wings
Walker
Alien Breed
North & South
Stunt car racer
And the best game ever releeased on any computer anywhere (except maybe GT3)....MOONSTONE. Has anyone ever played it? Its the best.

Oregon Trail was pretty funny, Contra was ok.

Rise of the Triad(a doom like looking game) was pretty hilarious because of the fact you could shoot them and they'd neil and beg for mercy. I always let them suffer and shoot them in the forehead :lol:

I've been spending some time with Zak McKracken & The Alien Mindbenders and Maniac Mansion on the CCS64 emu the last few days.. It even emulates the insane loading times :grrrr:

Those two, Stunt Car Racer, International Karate 1-3 and Boulderdash are what I remember spending my time with on the C64..

[edit]Ohh.. Anybody remember Alter Ego ?. That was pretty cool as well...[/edit]

Jay · Mar 9, 2004

i used to play alot of street rod 1&2, usagi jojimbo, international karate 1-3, boulderdash series, test drive series, chase HQ and many other i cant think of right now

Cap'n Jack · Mar 9, 2004

Lately I have been playing Formula one for PS1, It's the oldest game I have, I tryed to play test drive but it had a scratch on it and it wouldn't work.

That's the Yie-Ar Kung Fu game I was talking about. I thought I messed up the title. Oh well.

I could never figure out how to beat the red bull. Were you suppose to kick him, or punch him. Everything I tried never worked.

Mystical Ninja 2 : Goemon....
and Yie air kung fu..

Aww man, I LOVED ZAXXON. The pure isometric view played head-games with my depth perception though. I watched the shadow more than the ship sometimes. I also played a lot of Defender Stargate, Spy Hunter and Galaga.

Atari 2600: I think between my cousins and I we had every game they released on that platform. Funnily, very few of those games stand out in my mind. Pitfall, for some reason.. even though I hated it.

I didn't have a commie 64, but I remember playing Archon and the Bard's Tale for hours on end on my friend's.

As for old school PC, I played *a lot* of F-19 Stealth Fighter which I played on my 286AT, 1MB RAM, 512k VGA, AdLib sound card. Haha.. 256 colors and 8 bit sound.. state of the art back then.

Another awesome flight sim was Gunship 2000. Eventually, Falcon 3.0 came out and blew everything away. I remember racking up about 400+ 'flight hours' in Falcon 3.0 (ah, to be in highschool again).

Pah!

I played F-19 Stealth Fighter on the Amiga A500 (then A1200). The A1200 may hav eonly run at 33MHz, but she had 2Mb RAM (and an 8Mb fast RAM expansion) and a load of custom graphics and sound chips stuffed inside her.

State of the art? Pffft. Pointillism maybe...

Hold on, I thought that was the name of the display controller. The first A500 had the OCS Fat Agnus and then the A500+ A600 everything from that date had the ECS Fat Agnus. The A1200 had the AGA chipset which was called Alice I think. They kept the same Audio controller throughout though, Paula. It Pwned every other PC/Ataris sound for a long while. And all the Amiga's processors were standard Motorola 680X0 series processors. I had a 68030 Accelerator board for my A1200. I also got rid of the 1.3 rom in my A500 and swapped it for the 2.04 one and somewhere around that area on the system board it said 'B52 Rock Lobster' which was wierd.

I was a big Amiga nerd when I was like 11.

I remember F19 Stealth fighter I used to play the crap outta that and F 15 Strike Eagle all the time. . .

Max Powers · Mar 9, 2004

I always loved the Punchout!!! games for NES and SNES.

Ice Hockey for Nintendo was another great one, my friends and I still play it from time to time.

And my all time favorite...Wolfenstein 3D for my old Windows 3.1 computer.

Scary.

I still have my A1200 with the 20mb Hard Disk inside. It still works and has outlasted 4 PC's!!

And I bet you never had a CD32!

I had an 80mb HDD in one A1200, although I managed to bugger it up something rotten, so many bad sectors. At the end of it's life, it only had like 10mb's useable space. Couldn't you just get a CD-Rom drive for the A1200 and then you could just play the CD32 games? Mind you I remember there was a kit to use the CD32 as a computer also.

Yeah, It was a big box thing that you attached to the back of the CD32. The connection between the 2 was crap. I was forever shoogling it to try and get a connection!

I still have the CD32 and a pile of games that I "borrowed" from the library that I work in.

(possibly "worked in" now!) They were bought by mistake, so I liberated them.

Race Idiot · Mar 10, 2004

Bought them by mistake eh?

Heh.

I had it for PS1 and have it for pc. Still works on my rig. Nothing still beats to shoting down ufos in the jets with the midi music blaring.

einhander for playstation....now theres a great throwback(throwback...wtf?) game:tup:

Einhander~!!! Man, I feel bad for wrecking my disc..
:nervous:

kikie · Dec 17, 2006

I've got MAME 32 for pc, a cd full. I think they call these games;"emulator" or something like that. I like some of these game more than the latest new ones.

I just checked: 478 games. It's a multiple Arcade Emulator for win32

Dude... TWO AND A HALF YEARS. Let the thread DIE already. Games that were NEW when this thread was made now qualify as "Old Video Games".

Evolution. · Dec 17, 2006

Resurrecting a thread is better than starting a new one on the exact same topic. A bit redundant, isn't it?
