MrTed46 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Duke Nuke'm = the only game where you gain health by using the restroom. "Ahhh, much better." Come get some... That is the game that got me hooked in FPS, but the #1 game of all tiem for me is Counter Strike. I don't know how many hrs I logged in for playing that game but it has to be ALOT.

Egret Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Did you guys ever play Civilization? I think that was an amazing game and actually had some educational merit. I just got done using Civ IV in my classroom to teach a variety of grade level content expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraff Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I still load up the original Quake every other year. Great replayability for FPS plus a little puzzle solving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Pool of Radiance - loved that game and still have the Forgotten Realms collection that came out not too long ago. Still have all those AD&D games. Plus all the Ultima up through 7. Bards Tale was one of my all time favorites. Every once in awhile I think about pulling all those out and playing again. But most of them are down in CA with my boy. Maybe I will have him send some of them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboysDiehard Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yes, Duke Nuke'm 3D. Saw it at a friends house and went out and bought a new PC the very next day just so I could play it. Loved that you could interact with the strippers..."Shake it baby!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 The whole C & C series. Agree - great for their time. Skirmish mode kinda sucked though; they always ended up building too many units and getting "stuck" (couldn't move). The orig Age of Empires was great too, played that off and on for a long time. Like DOOM, my fav way to play was to hook up a PC w/someone else and we teamed up to beat the PC. Problem was trying to find the right mix of baddies so it was challenging but not impossible (and AoE used to cheat like hell). I was mucking around w/DOOM the other night and got through about 4 or 5 levels. It's almost scary how much I remember ie the rooms etc. But ask me what I had for lunch 2 days ago and....

NAUgrad Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My kids and I still play the hell out of Age of Mythology. In 1st grade my boy would write down all of the greek gods that he remembered from playing the game. His teacher asked us what it was he was making a list of. My wife replies "oh, that's just all of the greek gods", teacher "ummm, oookkay". She probably couldn't name 2. Pretty funny I thought.

Skilly Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Not so early, but I really got into Myst there for awhile. Cool graphics and sounds. I also bought this ridiculously huge NFL game program for the pc....must have had something like 20 floppies. I never really got the thing going because by the time I finished loading all the discs I was exhausted with the whole process. Why did I buy it? The pictures on the box were SOOO cool!

BeeR Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 "NFL by XOR" was a simple but great game for its time. The players were just Xs and Os, no real sound, and the play selection was blessedly simple, but it was simple easy fun. Who thing fit on 1 floppy I think.

Bring Back Pat!!! Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Front Page Sports Football Pro was an AESOME football sim for the PC. It was Madden before Madden. Easy to play plus a pretty cool dynasty mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) FPS kicked ass, I would still rather play that than Madden. (again for me it's not really about graphics - way more user-friendly, for one) God I hate EA. From what I remember, MS's NFL game was good too, except it had one glaring fault, I think it was that it had no support to play others via modem or online/etc. Edited October 30, 2009 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) In before Duchess starts talking about old Sierra games. I'll see your Sierra Games and raise you the old Gold Box D&D Games. (Pool of Radiance, Champions of Krynn, Secret of the Savage Frontier, etc). On the Sierra end - some of the greatest games in the world w/ with Quest for Glory being the best of them - the Lucas Arts games (Monkey Island, Indy, Maniac Mansion, etc) we fun as well. I loved Civ. I was also a big fan of an old EA game called Starflight. They had 2 version and a third by a different name. Starflight ranks right up there with the Sierra and Gold Box games. edited to add - most of these were lovingly played on my Tandy HX, SX and TX Edited October 31, 2009 by Duchess Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 You can download Duke Nukem 3D on the 360 these days - set up a lazer trip wire, drop a few pipe bombs and blow up your friends. Or - if that's too forward for you - you can set up a HolloDuke and shrink and stomp on a buddy while he's wondering why his rockets keep on going through you.

Sox Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Anybody play Delta Force 2? Loved that game. I'd still play it if the server were still up and running. I didn't play 2,but I played Delta Force Landwarrior,Blackhawk Down,and Joint Ops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to play plus a pretty cool dynasty mode. I almost forgot about that game!! Awesome! And way ahead of its time. Wolfenstein was cool. Leisuresuit Larry!! Any King's Quest fans?? My favorite was probably Wing Commander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby's Hubby Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I had an Odyssey and an Intellivsion. The intellivision had a freaky controller for the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliaz Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Still have all those AD&D games. Plus all the Ultima up through 7.Bards Tale was one of my all time favorites. I would have never pegged you for a BT fan. I can remember countless nights at my friend Richy's house each taking turns playing while the other was using grid paper to map out the game. One of the best all time RPG games IMO I'll see your Sierra Games and raise you the old Gold Box D&D Games. (Pool of Radiance, Champions of Krynn, Secret of the Savage Frontier, etc). Champions, Death Knights, and The Dark Queen of Krynn is a trilogy with no equal in the RPG gaming genre....again, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
