RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - aaronINdayton - 10-31-2012 04:10 AM Games! Some of the memorable games I've played over the years: Bubble Bobble Word Muncher Mario Bros Mario Bros 3 Super Mario Bros Super Mario Kart F-ZERO Super Bomber Man Street Fighter II Megaman X Guardian Heroes 007 Goldeneye X-Men COTA Smash Bros Melee Diablo 2 FF X Halo 2 WoW Smash Bros Brawl Demon's Souls Batman Arkham Asylum Starcraft 2 Hero Academy Shadow Era Outwitters RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - CombatEX - 10-31-2012 04:25 AM haha, Golden Eye =P My friends and I didn't play it much compared to Nightfire, but I still remember some great times with that game. That was was the one with all the traps right? Well there was this one map where there is a bridge and at one end you can hit a button that makes the bridge open up. I'd just crouch next to the bridge so no one could see me and then when they'd walk over it I'd spring the trap and they'd die. I don't know how everyone kept falling for it. I guess they were all too busy fighting each other. Good times =P I can't believe I never played F-Zero. I've always loved the idea of futuristic racing, but when I was younger I could never find any good ones... Turns out there were plenty, but most notably, F-Zero and WipEout. How did I miss them both? =( Probably because none of my friends were into racing so I just never heard of them. Oh well, now I have all the recent WipEout games so it's all good. Just need an F-Zero remake... please Nintendo? =D RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - jaesonwu - 10-31-2012 05:14 AM wow, so many games. I didnt play many when I was younger. Mostly just starcraft brood war. Wanted to be like BoxeR someday. Didnt happen RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - Promicide - 10-31-2012 06:32 AM (10-30-2012 08:15 AM)CombatEX Wrote: It's cool seeing what games other people have enjoyed over the years =) And now that you've mentioned it there are quite a few more games I neglected to include but I enjoyed nonetheless. Your life will never be complete without FFVII or chrono, once you start playing ff7, a lot of crisis core will make crap ton more sense to you... I am still ever grateful for them making crisis core for the sake of us lifelong fans. I cannot BELIEVE I forgot Pokemon... I had red version the day it came out, definitely very influential in my childhood.. I can still hear the midi file Pokemon "cries" and town themes whenever I see a kid playing the newer versions. I really wish Nintendo would start porting to iOS, because they would make a KILLING out of the sheer number of people who would gladly pay 10 bucks for Mario games on iPhones. Edit: Oh and Goldeneye for bringing the world it's first contagious super quality FPS.

Totally forgot about that one, def one of my favs. RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - Samura| - 11-01-2012 05:53 PM @RandyDogz: Oh yes, I remember those old Ultima games . Definitely nostalgic. Had an amazing epic feel about them, I remember wandering around pretty lost and wondering what the meaning of life, i mean the game, was. Here's my list, I fear many here might not be old school enough to know some of them: Diablo 2 Dune 2 / Command & Conquer / Warcraft 2 / Starcraft FF6/FF7/FF8 Subspace (doubt anyone here has heard of that before?) Romance of the 3 Kingdoms Ancient Art of War King's Quest series Gauntlet Pool of Radiance Pirates! Street Fighter 2 Championship Manager RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - RandyDogz - 11-02-2012 08:14 AM (11-01-2012 05:53 PM)Samura| Wrote: @RandyDogz: Oh yes, I remember those old Ultima games .

Do I save up for that new weapon? Try and steal the shopkeepers chest to help finance? Or just go in and kill everyone in town and take everything? And Pirates!, wow forgot about that one too! Fantastic ship combat with some pretty good sword fighting too! Kings Quest, another great choice. But I was more of a Police Quest fan myself! And Ancient Art of War - was that Sun Tzu?

Didn't know it by that name (Sun Tzu), but I think the hardest difficulty setting was Sun Tzu! Plus of course there was also Ancient Art of War at Sea, that was pretty amazing too! Ah yes, Police Quest - I remember finding that pretty tough initially as I didn't watch much TV at that time... hence not knowing to read someone their rights etc!! RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - =) Random Task (= - 11-17-2012 10:26 PM Hi chaps, This thread brings up memories... I am 39 and havea family with two kids so my more recent gaming history is pretty much concentrated to Outwitters only. I had an episode with Warzone 2100 an open source real time strategy game which i think is pretty cool. i found it when I was searching for a strategy Game which also runs on OSX. But I dont have enough time for this really. On Windows there was a game called S.W.I.N.E which was made a free download already something around 7 or years ago I think. At that time I found it was amazing that such a rich and fun real time strategy game was releasedfor free. I had lots of fun with it back then. Atabout the same time I used to play at http://www.Takto.de, which is an online version of the board game "Risk". Speaking of board games.... Do you know the game "Diplomacy". This is a really cool board game which is purely based on strategy and negotiation whithout any element of chance. It is very cool if you have some friends you can gather in person and play it for 3 to 4hours on an evening... When going longer back in my gaming history a game called "Battle Isle" comes to my mind which I played on my Amiga computer. Actually this was a lot like Outwitters in its mechanics. With a limited number of units played on a hex grid turn by turn. On the Amiga I also played "Populous" if some of you remember. In my C64 times I spent a lot of time with the space trading and fighting game "Elite", Giana Sisters (jump'n run), Wizball, Paradroid, Pirates!, Pitstop2 I am sure many more games wil come to mind if I think about it longer but these pop to mind instantly. One addition.... Do you know those little handheld games Nintendo produced before the game boy existed? There was a game called Donkey Kong Jr. Which was really great at that time. I totally loved it. My parents never bought me such a game when I was a kid but I was always happy when a friend lent this game to me. About a year ago I bought one of these on ebay just to bring back those memories and finally to own one myself. RE: Nostalgic Games and Favorite Games? - Necrocat219 - 11-18-2012 12:26 AM Oldest game I've played (apart from arcade games) is AOE1, I had so much fun messing around on it as a kid and I still tinker around on it now and then with its easy graphics and iconic sounds I've always loved Pokemon, I'm extremely competitive but the new games they are chugging out are complete garbage. I've placed 96th out of 5000 players once online and go to qualifiers for Pokemon world championship (and fail ) every year - damn knockout :L FF Chrisis core is the only one I enjoyed in the series. Maybe because of the repetitive nature. SSBM I loved this so so so much, even though I sucked at it xD Mass effect games Mario and luigi Superstar Saga, Partners in time and Bowsers story - I just lovd these games soooooo much, there's no other game where I get so attached to the story, the little inside jokes and puns, the original turn based combat of dodging attacks! I played partners in time 3 times over I just lived it so much! First time round getting to the final boss was really difficult and is the only game I've never managed to complete in one run (as in having to reset the game or giving up) I have an Xbox, but I bought it when CID was all the rage and I thought Cod and the likes were taboo; then I started playing and got bored... So I only really use it for ME123, Skyrim and will play fabled soon PS I forgot Skies or Arcadia? The one with sky pirated? PSS Touhou is my guilty pleasure of a game PSSS I've been meaning to get round to diplomacy, I love risk and play vortex wars online. Only problem is I find that games like that get old fast and trolls ruining games are common. My fix to that is clan wars |
