6/26/2007 9:11:56 AM

Privateer was off the chain, but so were all WC games back then

6/26/2007 10:00:57 AM

older than privateer i think... could be space quest...

6/26/2007 10:39:27 AM

Space Quest was the SHIT! Took me FOREVER to get through the desert on the landspeeder thing. And the first time I did get through I forgot to save the game and got killed by that damn Orcut in the cave.


JumpJoe FTW!

6/26/2007 11:35:27 AM

oh Epic Megagames, ok

Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure was good fun

I think all the Commander Keen and Duke Nukem (original) were Epic?

Legend of the Red Dragon! bbs ftw

6/26/2007 11:39:15 AM

Commander Keen was made by id, Duke Nukem was from Apogee.

6/26/2007 11:42:29 AM

oh yeah Cosmo's Adventure was Apogee also

memory blur

6/26/2007 11:43:08 AM

I <3 old Sierra games. Quest for Glory rocked too, the fourth one had John Rhys-Davies as the narrator and he definitely made it that much more awesome.

I think Space Quest IV was my fav though, I remember you went back in time to Space Quest I and everything was in CGA graphics and if you talked to the bartender he said something like "How do you think I feel? Look at me! I have to live my life in CGA graphics!"

6/26/2007 11:58:39 AM

Rhys-Davies was in Wing Commander 4 also (the one with Mark Hamill)

6/26/2007 12:09:57 PM

That wing commander 4 was awesome because it had a porn star in it.

6/26/2007 12:15:23 PM

who? i just remember it was like 6 CDs and my shit locked up sometime in the 4th disc

or maybe i'm thinking of WC3...cant remember

"During the course of the game, the player can choose with which of the 2 main female characters he ends up with: Ginger Lynn Allen's mechanic or fellow pilot Jennifer MacDonald. MacDonald's character, Flint, was so unpopular and was almost never picked that she does not return for any of the following games. Allen returns for Wing Commander: Prophecy. "

Old DOS game? You mean like gorillas?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillas_(computer_game)

6/26/2007 1:05:51 PM

GORILLA.BAS and NIBBLES.BAS were the heat

DOS v5.0 Qbasic ftw

i liked to make this basic program and run it on somebody's computer:

10 BEEP
20 GOTO 10

6/26/2007 1:34:37 PM

6/26/2007 1:43:27 PM

Anyone play Bar Games???? You needed to guess what type of bar glass it was to enter the game??? Someone find that so it will run with xp..

6/26/2007 1:58:27 PM

I played all the Wing Commanders, Rhys-Davies was in 3 & 4. The porn star was in 3 (Heart of the Tiger). The Wing Commander series had a pretty decent cast for a video game. Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell, that dude who played Biff in Back to the Future. Maniac was always my favorite character.

6/26/2007 2:05:26 PM

i was always hoping Hobbes would side with the humans but those fuckin Kilrah furballs always eventually side with their own

6/26/2007 2:10:45 PM

Yeah I know. And all that time I thought Cobra was just being a bitch.

6/26/2007 2:23:40 PM

I've actually got System Shock on my computer right now. Fun game, although I wish the controls were customizable.

6/26/2007 3:21:05 PM

^^haha exactly...you were like "aw come on, he's one of the good ones" but old girl knew all along!

6/26/2007 3:25:12 PM

Man I remember my first Tandy 5000 or something. Took my dad an hour just to install
Test Drive 1. God I played the shit out of that game.

Space quest was amazing, but I had to buy the hint book.

6/26/2007 4:04:35 PM

Did anyone ever play the Duck Tales game? I remember that you had to fly around the world and collect more treasure than Glumgold (sp?) in order to win. That shit was really hard, though. Any time I tried to do the mountain levels I kept dying.

6/26/2007 4:08:53 PM

The porn star was also in 5.

6/26/2007 5:52:54 PM

TIE Fighter, X-Wing, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, i rocked them all

6/26/2007 5:59:19 PM

the first game i remember playing was an old Winnie the Pooh game on my dad's computer, had to load it off 5.25 floppies....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_in_the_Hundred_Acre_Wood

we had the first couple king's quest games as well, but i was a little young so i couldn't begin to play/follow it.

6/26/2007 6:29:41 PM

was it star control ? what a great game

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Control

6/26/2007 7:49:03 PM

Space Quest was the first video game I ever played.

PC Jr ftw

6/26/2007 8:03:47 PM
