best old games

the best old games i think are oregon trail and where in the world is carmen sandigo, oh and one game that i had for the 1986 apple machintosh it was a star trak game it rocked didnt have any graphics all you did was read but it was really fun to play.



oh and when i put best old games i mean old games not games from the late 90s or early 2000's

 

umm

i was a kid during that time period.

i have played both carmen sandiago and oregon trail.

gotta say, though, while those games are somewhat entertaining... that time period has a lot more to offer.

im thinking console gaming - shinobi, contra, sonic, mario, zelda, and the like.

 

Hugo's House of Horrors, Leisure Suit Larry, Duke Nukem, Space Quest... lots of neat old games by Sierra

I'd also suggest NetHack if you liked the text-based adventures. Good stuff, I think they have Windows versions (I play under Linux)

 

if you wanna get into consol games. double dragon was a good one best sports game ever i dont care what you say is tecmo bowl!!! super punch out cant forget about duck hunt. and dont say you was shooting them ducks from far away either ya had to be right up at the screen lol

 

Tie-Fighter. Still the best flight sim game around. That was the first ever PC game I played, and it's still my very favourite. Came on 13 floppy disks .

 

dang 13 lol thats crazy, i wish i still had my old apple macintosh from 1986 id gut it and put all new stuff in it and watch people laugh at me intill i put in a new game lol

 

-Civilization II
-Original Castle Wolfenstein
-Original Dune
-Total Annihilation
-Syndicate
-Original Doom

 

atari:

mule
ali baba and the 40 thieves

 

i played a few atari games when i was little but i couldnt ever get them to work right. the freakin joystick thing that ya twisted got on my nerves so i gave up with it. lol

 

That's an awesome game; X-Wing is a bit more primitive but also fun. Those games will never die.

Anyone ever play Star Crusader by Take-Two Interative? Really enjoyed that.

 

Master of Orion was my favorite "old" game. A not quite so old game that was fairly fantastic was Interstate 76. Too bad they ruined Interstate 82 >_>

 

i think i played x wing before im not sure though

 

Hrm... there was a game on the c64 that i loved. Wizards... or something like that. ****... that computer had some crazy good games. And I've got a hardly used one sitting in my closet right now. Unfortunantly, no games for it.

But hrm... I also loved the old gold boxed ad&D games. those were FANTASTIC.
And of course, all of the classic nes games. Castlevania, zelda, metroid... those were the days

 

Tabletop Dungeons and Dragons. Beats the crap out of any video game.

 

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe
Sensible Soccer

Both responsible for more than their fair share of beer soaked loud gaming nights.

 

archon
ultima 3. those were two that really got me hooked at a young age and ruined my entire life ;o)

 

table top dungeons and dragons lol come on now, im a nerd a geek whatever you wanna call me but i aint no table top dungeons and dragon player lol.

 

This bike game where you had to collect apples, i forget the name

 

F-zero -- SNES
Zelda -- NES
007 Golden Eye -- SNES
First Doom -- PC
Dig Dug -- Atari 7800
Food Fight -- Atari 7800
Kid Nikki -- NES
TECMO BOWL --NES

and many many more

 

im glad to see theres more people around my age on here i was getting worried that most people on here were below the age of 18 lol

 

Anyone play Chopper Command or Karateka? I loved those games back in the 80's.

Those games were fun.

Definitely a classic! Archon was so addictive!

Yes to all of these--except for me Food Fight was an arcade game. Tecmo Bowl is still one of the best football games!

 

nothing will ever beat tecmo bowl. i dont care if the madden games have good graphics, nothing beats running diagonal to score a touchdown lol and missing a field goal was the best with the dink ta dink ta dink sound lol.

 

I'd pay $50US for a DirectX 9 update of Tie-Fighter, with multi-player. God that would be awesome.

 

- Last Ninja 2 - C64
- International Karate+ - C64
- The Great Giana Sisters - C64
