Classics

80's --> Atari --> Pong , Frog
80's --> Amstrad cpc 6128 --> saboteur , shinobi , rick dangerous , after the war
90's --> Mac --> Doom2 , Castle wolfenstein , warcraft
90's --> Win98 ---> Unreal , Quake , Starcraft

So who wants to play Starcraft ?

Let's talk again when part II is out^^

yes in 2012

well, for me it whould be

Knights and merchants, hell of a complex game it tooks me hours to go trough a single map, but still excelent strategy game

Heroes of might and magic III, i loved that one...

fallout 2 and fallout tactics i never get to play the first one

Command & Conquer, i played the first one, red alert 1 & 2, and tiberian sun

Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 (all finished and flipped arround, specialy the 2nd one)

Contra 1 & 2 for the nes, i remember this time i was playing contra 2 and my mom call me for dinner and i yealed "not now, i'm trying to save the world" xD

warcraft 2 and dark portal, starcraft and broodwars, age of empires and rise of rome... all excelent strategy games =D


and that would be for me xD

I'm not really part of the Atari and Commodre generation but a friend of mine has a NES that we still play sometimes. I've been playing Doom since I was 4 and I also had the episode 1 for Duke Nukem 1 and some of the Commander Keens and other classic ID softwares games. I'm still quite loyal to ID and I've played pretty much all Quakes, Dooms and Enemy Territories (and I'm still playing ET:QW) Now I'm waiting the release of Rage and after that Doom 4. Oh, and from Blizzards classics I have a copy of Warcraft 2 & Beyond the Dark Portal and Diablo 2 (which I also still play sometimes, while waiting for Diablo 3)

Hah, yes, Commander Keen - and the Jettsons or however they were called

I would call C&C a classic game... windows 95 lol... or umm whats it called for the Dream Cast... Andromeda! AWESOME 2 player game!!!!!

What's so funny about win95?
I know one person who still thinks 95 is the best windows, but just lacks some power now. Also windows 3.1 is something you should laugh at, we still have a computer using that. That's the one with the Commander Keens btw. Got them with the comp when we bought it

Lol, Windows 95 is funny though ^^ its like half built but I'm saying C&C was released on the 95 which is what makes it a classic. ^^

Kinda hard to define a classic don't you think? The oldest windows I've used is 3.1, but my father told me about a black and white windows they had sometime during the stone age. I guess from his point of view 95 would be rather advanced
I think Deus Ex, for example, is a classic, but it's based on the Unreal engine, and thus not all that old.

kids... i grew up in DOS on my dad's 186.... and followed versions... from 3.x to 6.x... then windows 3.x to 95... to 98.. to ME... to XP...

i still play a game of Tyrian once in a while..... maybe i should try playing blindfolded, i'm just that good at it

deus ex was a very nice game mid rpg/fps , i hope the 3rd will be good.
btw unreal engine is like 10years old

Actually CNC:1 was released for MSDOS, not Windows.
Later Westwood made a Gold Edition, which was suited for Windows 95.

Edit: And the unreal engine was made in 1998.

lol I still remember playing on my Comador64 with the Joystick and having a stack of floppy's next to me ^^ Giant lunk of a computer too lol ^^

Yeah unreal engine's over ten years old, but come on! It's not about how old it is but how advanced it is. Sure modern engines can do much better, but compared to some really old engines and games, it's rather modern.

Also, the win3.1 comp we still have is mostly used via MSDOS cause there's some problems with running exes with the 3.1 So I too had to pretty much get used to using DOS. Then there was the good old win95 comp, which also still works, but the win98 comp we got after that is now completly useless. The last comp my father got uses XP, but later I bought for myself this vista laptop. So I didn't ever get to use win2000 and ME, though I've been told there I didn't miss much.
I still play some old DOS games, I that I used to love, with the DOSbox emulator. I recommend it for all who grew up with DOS. Also there's emulators for most of the old consoles and other systems.

I used to play with MAME emulator some years ago to play my fave old games
(arcade and console)

shinobi , ghouls n ghost , castlevania etc ...

Yeah I've used the Nestopia console to play the Castlevanias

thinking about classics, i got myself a WII emulator to play the gamecube version of Ikaruga !!!

i always wanted to play this game, it looked so great and fun to play... and i played it to death today.. finished it on easy.. it's so damned hard! especially with the keyboard and slowdowns of the gamecube (it's not my computer, i still got processing power left to spare) making the game easier (running at half the speed when there is lots of action)...

now i'd like to play it arcade-style.. like the youtube stuff you see, moving much faster and more precisely than the version i played...

Well couldn't you just get Wii and the game? Wii's not even that expensive. And are those youtube vids about playing with emulator or with thte actual console?

i don't want to buy a wii just for one game... especially since i can't really play it in my physical condition (tennis elbow that doesn't want to heal)... and the game is at least 50$ on ebay because it's rare...

so paying that much to play a single game is... too much...

the youtube vids are probably all from the console or arcade versions... as the emulator is quite recent (and only has a couple of games that works on it)...

I liked this game, but the boss is kinda...well seems like they needed money xP

yeah... at 100yen a continue... it cost him like 600-700 yen for that boss...
i wouldn't pay 6-7$ to play like that... not counting all the hours he played it before to know the patterns and stuff... it must be a fortune!
