missing 1 game tho crispy - Not mentioning Unirally is a sin!

THE INCREADIBLE MACHINE :worthy:

QFT


Crispy and me usually played the same games so he mentioned some good ones (ofc missing some c64 karate games). Killer Instinct was a great fighting game. and crispy was a beast with 36+ hit combos so many awesome features for ending enemies (raptor could eat people, Cinder could toast them and so forth!)
Unirally was the king of SNES in my eyes, you could keep going and going beating records - even in the first map.
Donkey Kong 2 - Diddy Kongs Quest: missed out 2 tokens to get to the secret island

but the game that gives me the most nostalgic feeling has to be Diablo II. sometimes out of the blue i just get the feeling of Diablo II. its not possible to explain.

 

[CorNokZ]

Ahhhhhhhh - the old times. Theres a brilliant site you can download a lot of nostalgia :

Best Old Games | Old Games : Free download [eng]

 

[Gamah]

downloading the settlers 6 beta!

 

[Golena]

Settlers 2 (all the newer ones are crap)

Never has a truer word been spoken.

The later ones became "modernised". I.e. remove the entire thing that made it great because it was too complicated for your average chav and turn it into a crap rts.

 

[tris-]

dungeon keeper 1

 

[Overdriven]

for your average chav and turn it into a crap rts.

RTS/Anything involving memory for a chav, is like soap for a sweaty emo kid...

Never gonna meet.

 

[not_vintervargen]

critical mass

the screen is from a new version but still..

edit:

Warlords 1 (Lord Bane, Sirians, Horselords, Orcs of Kor etc..)

and that ofc

fuck me i forgot to metion the snes ones but i had a GREAT time beating you in KI, and you beating me in uni r(e)ally xD

And how dare you forget Yoshis island 2? Im at land 4 atm with the joypad i bought (cutest game evar!)

i wonder wtf is in the last secret lands of DK2... You know we still miss 2 of the approx 500 coins in the game (lol just read the reply, how can we still remember its two? xD) :>

Remember the ol' C64 days with that game where you were underground? Or Ghosts and goblins, paperboy?

 

[Urgluf]

Return Fire for me tbh such a fun game

gonna download unirally and dk2 and complete both, just need to find dk2 mod, dont think it exsists ;(

 

[Arethir]

1. Civilization 2 (Can play those Scenarios over and over and over and over, like being the neutral forces in WW2, rocks)
2. Shogun: Total War (Always great fun, awesome strategic battles where you control huge armies unit by unit)
3. Heroes Of Might And Magic 3 (Always an ok game to spend some time on)

Main priority for me really is to make it simple and easy, ie Civ3, where they totally fucked it up by making it far to complicated and stressful to play imo, so it aint such an easy timewaster anymore. Civ2 is great however.

And ofc, there's games like Diablo, Delta Force, Warcraft, Dark Colony, Rollercoaster Tycoon and other easy ways to kill time

 

[old.Tohtori]

Oh yeah, IK+

 

[Huntingtons]

Oh yeah, IK+

that game is a classic!

 

[crispy]

The jump kick pwnd it all

 

[Cromcruaich]

LOL true!

The trick was to lift up the joystick and just shake it.

We used a golf ball on the speccie keyboard. Ofc Daleys was superceeded by Hypersports.

Knightlore is still one of the most atmospheric games ive played - quite an acheivement for 8 bits.

 

[Cromcruaich]

Oh yeah, IK+

Ahh, yea, thats reminded me - Way of the Exploding Fist.

 

[Cromcruaich]

Oh, Moria on mainframe. I'd recommend anyone to put some time into playing some of the nethack style stuff even these days. Quite a learning curve, but highly addictive and huge variety.

Look for nethack, moria, umoria, angband, zangband and give em a go (are loads of others - perhaps peeps could post up their own faves). Moria probably the easiest to start off with.

 

[Everz]

anyone know if battle net works still for diablo1?

 

[old.Tohtori]

anyone know if battle net works still for diablo1?

Worked last summer i tried it, not sure now though.

On the karate/ninja thingy, have to mention The Last Ninja ofcourse.

And that game where you went up a house, or some such, gathered throwing stars and..all that.

Also, teenage mutant ninja turtles. The one on nintendo where the second level is the city and you get the turtlevan and so forth..not the streetfightingmoving thingy
