What are your favorite oldies??

[jaythaman]

I forgot to mention caesar 3. I still play it and prefer it to even simcity 4

I only really started PC gaming in 1997, so my fav games
are not as old as some I seen in the other post. So here
goes in no particular order.

-Starcraft/Brood War
-Fallout 2
-Twinsen Oddysey
-Dungeon Keeper
-Total Annihilation
-Diablo

I liked the old first caesar, the 2nd one got old after awhile. I forgot to mention all the HUGO games. I remember it took me hours to figure out that the key to the house was in the pumpkin by the front door.

What is the first video game that you can remember playing?

(Home and/or out elsewhere)


At home my family had the Wizard. My parents still have it I think. It played Pong, Hockey, Tennis, and Squash right on your TV.

I am not sure what my first stand up arcade game was. Pac-Man, Space Invaders, hmmmm. That is a hard thing to remember.

How about you guys?

Pong as well. I don't know what the system was called but my parents had it.

The first arcade game I ever saw was pong, boring even then.

The first really addictive arcade game for me was Space Invaders. Played a lot of Asteroids before that and Space Wars before Asteroids but they didn't have the same addiction factor.

I forgot one of my oldie favorites. That was Missile Command, one of the few games ported to the PC from the arcades that I actually liked better on the PC. (Mouse + keyboard was better than Trackball + buttons).

Of course MAME brings all the old arcade games to the PC in their original splendor, control issues aside.

My family got an Atari back in '78 or '79. I remember playing Combat and some cartridge with Hockey, Volleyball & Tennis which were variations on Pong.

 

[r2k]

The oldest is River Raid, both on Commodore 64 and Atari 2600. When I got a C64 at home, the first one was Impossible Mission.

I remember when I first learned the trick to making double sided 5.25inch disks out of single sided disks. I miss that C64 and Vic20.

My first computer was also a C=64. I can't believe no one has mentioned <b>Lode Runner</b>. Incredibly addictive game. It even had a level-editor. Check out this <A HREF="http://entropymine.com/jason/lr/screenshots/c64.gif" target="_new">screenshot</A> for a dose of nostalgia. Also:
-<b>BoulderDash</b>
-<b>Gauntlet</b> - very first dungeon-crawl. Dialbo's anscestor.
-<b>World Karate Championship</b>
-<b>Spy Hunter</b>
-<b>Dragon's Lair</b>
I know there are more, can't remember...

Ok, I think Defender of the Crown warrants a mention here...
(ta ta tata etc.)


BTW. I have played nearly every game mentioned here...makes me wonder how much time I have wasted...
