Samus Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 In your opinion, what's the best of the good old games from before the 3D-games started to flourish? I remember Prince of Persia as one of the best games ever. The animations were a real breakthrough in gaming at the time. Also, I really enjoyed the Commander Keen series from Id Software. More suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 My first addiiction on a 'pc game' was Castle Wolfenstein (*NOT* Wolf 3D) on an Apple ][ back in the ... early 80's (which is before someone of average age on this board was born ) I played it last year via some AppleWin emulator ... still brings a smile ...

The Cheat Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 treasure mountain was a lot of fun imo. i also liked the keen games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Bard's Tale was by far the best RPG ever on Apple. I still miss those green screens and the animation where they moved their eyes and we thought it was cool. I used to name all my characters after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Prince of Persia was cool but I never came close to beating it. I hated Commander Keen. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBomber Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I don't have any, I can't think of any game before Dark Forces that I have played..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Robo... I swear that's what it was called. It was an old DOS game with you controling a robot and you went through like 15 levels full of like puzzles and stuff... it was pretty fun. I would guess it came out around... 1995.

KBell Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 hmmm....well, My Favorite old game would have to be Amazon or any of the early (Or late for that matter) Lesuire Suit Larry games. Quality comedy right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jed Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Originally posted by Egg Destroyer Red Baron, any of you guys ever heard of it? Was that a Flight Sim? If it was, than I remember it My first one was probably Wolfenstein 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pad Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I played soo many games in the early stage (on our commodore) i even havent the slightest idea which one was the best. Prolly because my age wasnt that high aswell. Old games I really liked playing were "who dares wins", "prince of persia" and "dungeon keeper". I still like Dk when im studying for my exams and want 5min of complete timewaste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topshot Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Sonic 3D Blast: PC edition, before I even heard of Dark Forces. Man, playing that game had some good times......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I would have to say, my love of gaming all came from one game. Rogue Squadron. Now I have xbox and GC and I used to have PS2. If I had never got RS, I would never have been at these forums, much less been even interested in video games. *a moment of silence for rogue squadron* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of non-graphical ... my first multi-player experience was playing a Star Trek game head-to-head against a friend on a IBM 3630 mainframe ... wasted much time and computer account allocation time doing that ...

(Not that I really care ... it is interesting to see what some consider 'old' games ... I tend to think that old, in the context of these forums, certainly has to pre-date Dark Forces.)

Jared Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 umm...I dunno what you are talking about. I have RS for PC, not n64 and it is from like 99. That is fairly old. It was the first game I ever played anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samus Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 I think the first game I played was Commander Keen: Secret of The Oracle. Man, I've spent many hours playing that game. I still play the Keen games from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
