oooooooh I don't like where you're going with that there buddy...are you calling yourself more old and therefor authentic than ME ?!! I remember the old Amiga games, Wolf 3D, Super Mario 1 on NES and that shytty duck shooting game !

let's see what you got...............ya young punk....



I like you. Like, in a slightly *I can't say the word here* kind of way.

Try 'I used to program in assembly language on the BBC Micro', and my second gaming pc was a ZX81 (with 16k ram pack!) (First was the Atari ST with 'real wood' casing)

Chucky Egg, Manic Miner, Jetpack Willy (giggle at the name).

Oh yeah! I'm bringing it, youngster!

 

[Big Ewis]

yeh yeh I remember Chucky Egg and those old games...believe it or not we had this in Qatar !....but you may have a couple of years on me or so..hhmm, a worthy foe in deed...

 

[Rich Taff]

Of the (fairly) modern games, I must admit I've wasted days on X3-Reunion (It's like Elite in HD). Just have trouble with my PC being a self build and 9yrs old, so can't actually do anything when there's a lot on screen.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

In terms of how much fun I had when I first played them:
1) Elder Scrolls series
2) Mass effect series
3) The Walking Dead series
4) GTA Series
5) Assassin's Creed series


Worthy mentions:
Total war series
Warzone 2100
Dawn of War series
Dragon Age
Company of Heroes
Minecraft
Dirt 2 and 3
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Stronghold 1 and Crusader (everything after that has been crap)
Borderlands 1 and 2

Argh want to put to many more on but must stop.

The World Ends With You (Nintendo DS)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo Wii)
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (SEGA MegaDrive)

I can't pass this thread by without putting in a mention for Scott Adams' 1981 DOS Text Adventure, "Ghost Town"

It took me absolutely ages to figure out that "old paint" was not a tin of dried house paint. It was only when I failed to "pick up" or "carry" or "collect" old paint, that in pure frustration, I typed "kick old paint" and the game said "Old Paint kicks you back" that the truth dawned on me.... Old Paint was a Horse!!!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

My ones, which will live long in my memory are:

Super Mario Bros (NES)
Doom II (PC)
Pro Evo (PS1)
UC series (PS3)
TLOU (PS3)

[Rich Taff]

There was a text game, many years ago, called 'bored of the rings'. It was...ermm...risquee..in parts, but it had the best example of that, that I've seen.
You walked into a dark room, and no matter what you did, you could not light it up.
Eventually I found a hidden 'octopus statue' in a room, walked in to the previously 'unlightable' room and 'many hands make light work'.
I was hooked.

(that was in reply to cooky btw)

[RedruthRFC]

I'm grunching this thread, so I might post another list when I read it and am reminded of others I've missed. This list is based on the enjoyment I had playing them, how often I revisit them and the influence they had on the gaming world:

Tenchu Stealth Assassins - vastly underrated game, one of, if not the first "sneak 'em up", just the right level of difficulty / learning curve and a fair amount of game play. The control system was so far in advance of most things around at the time, that having played this, I couldn't get on with Metal Gear Solid and gave up within a day.

Street Fighter 2 - the first legit console beat 'em up which paved the way for many others. I spent many hours plugging away at this game until I managed to complete it on level 7 without losing a round. I imagine that subsequent editions have been better (Street Fighter 2 was a little sluggish and limited for characters), but it's the only version I played much.

Worms - the original is still better than any subsequent version I've come across. A pretty average single player game, but comes into its own once mates and beers become involved. Many happy hours spent playing this when I should have been studying earns it a mention.

Speedball II - another classic, one that I still dig out and play from time to time. Lacking at lot in modern terms, but soooo playable that most people must remember it fondly.

System Shock 2 - I had to include something first person(ish), this is a great blend between strategy, problem solving and first person shooter. It's massive and gets the difficulty just about right.

4) X-WING Alliance

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have any clues as to why the graphics/movies from Final Fantasy and the music of Pink Floyd almost seem like they were made for each other?



and many more
