    Where to begin, where to begin....

    I suppose the fairest thing to do is to categorize them (there's no way I could just pick 5), so I'll start with my favorite 5 nostalgia games. And in no particular order:

    1)Sam&Max Hit the Road(and all other LucasArts adventure games)

    2)Pirates!(a game way ahead of its time)

    3) Wolfpack(still the best sub sim ever made imho)

    4) X-wing flight-sim series

    5) Command&Conquer 1(the only truly balanced C&C to date- subsequent versions have seen unbalanced sides unfortunately)

    Well those are my five fave "old" games...loads more that I enjoyed though- just too many to list here.

    1) - Kane (C64) Extremely Addictive (But only had 4 levels of over 3 difficulty settings) - Still amazing fun and involved shooting Migrating Birds through the throat with Bow & Arrows and used an ever so funny synthesized "SQUAK" noise when they flopped like a rock from the sky - Also involved shooting gangsters in the face with a Six-Shooter (and even they went "SQUAK"... Great Fun...

    2) - Mission: Impossible (C64) - A truly impossible game (As the name implies) and seriously tense... Used the same graphical system as Kane (For the main character) and also had a cool sound for if you fell off screen... "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" etc etc

    3) - Syndicate (Amiga) - Has anyone actualy mentioned this game here? It's truly one of the best Amiga games around (And one of the best games ever, infact, according to lots...) Seriously, I always packed my agents with nothing but Shotguns and a Flamethrower each for backup biggrin.gif

    4) - Resident Evil (PSX) - Was the scariest in the "Evil" Series up to date, still amazing despite the release of it's brothers Res 2, 3, Veronica, and the Shoot-Em-Up version... The Half-Life Res Mod is on the way, and it's looking amazing...

    5) - Renegade (Spectrum) - The best Beat 'Em ' Up on the Speccy, and it ****ing owned the C64 version, yet the C64 version of the sequel owned the Speccies Sequel (Typical)... This game had some serious playability, and the ability to lob your enemies over the shoulder into the rest of them was great, and you also had the chance to grab and knee your opponent multiple times in the groin (In time with a synthesised crackle sound - yum) depending on the difficulty you were on... the harder it got, the more beating they took, and you take great pleasure out of standing there, kneeing this bald knife weilding tramp in the balls for a whole two minutes before he decides to give in... Lobbing the guys off onto the train track on level one was amazing also...

    Golly, why is it the Classic Comps always made the most playable / addictive games out there...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


    In no particular order...

    Mario kart (snes)

    Mario 64 - OMG i remember seeing a mario's head as it started up, my jaw nearly hit the floor. the game was just pure class, brought my jaw the rest of the way down wink.gif revolutionized platform games

    Metal gear solid

    Shenmue - cant wait for the sequel, a game that REALLY engrossed me, not being a great RPG fan and all

    Sonic 2 - released on sonic TWOsday, biggest launch of a video game ever afaik

    Lots of others really and there's not much between them but these are just ahead by an inch


    It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    HIT IT!
