Nex Angelus Caldari Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2007.08.21 17:02:00 - [1] Hi all! Am I the only one around here missing the simplicity of some of the older games out there, or perhaps just don't find the newer games as good as the old ones? Anyway, here's a little list of old games I find really good. * MAX (Mechanized Assault and Exploration) This game is buggy as hell, but it's a really good play, especially in multi-mode. So far I haven't found any game that measures up to this when it comes to strategy. * Fragile Alliance Somewhat similar to Master of Orion (don't know which came first though), another excellent multi-game, not better than Master of orion, but different and according to me; better. * Descent (1&2) The best "FPS" as far as I'm concerned. Not as fast as Quake and some of the others where you play a person running around, but if you put some effort in learning the game mechanics... WOW! * Giana Sisters A Mario-clone for C64, that I find better than the original Mario-games. More power-ups, and simply funnier. * Dungeon of Doom A Mac-game for the earliest macs. Basically you are a small stick figure running around in a maze of squares meeting more and more monsters. Not a "good" game, but very entertaining * Escape Velocity Another mac-game. Think EVE in 2D and you have it. I won't clutter up this topic with more games I like, time for you to tell me which old games You like! clicky
Mardonius Gallente Get out of the Kitchen Zzz	Posted - 2007.08.21 17:08:00 - [2] Edited by: Mardonius on 21/08/2007 17:10:16 Don't know how old we're talking here but these games have been around long enough for me to consider them old. God knows how many times I've completed them, but I've completed all of them at least three times, after that I lost count. Quake I & II Always good for a bit of carnage. Deus Ex I'd always replay it roleplaying with different goals and a different ending in mind. Pity the sequel sucked s**t through a straw. System Shock II In terms of immersion and story you just can't beat it. Unless of course, the game is BioShock. Grim Fandango Just brilliant. If you're looking for something as good and as wacky I'd strongly recommend Psychonauts.

Any tips on getting it to work on XP? all my attempts have been futile, even with dosbox it crashes. Hmm... I played it on XP not that long ago, even played multi over the internet via a VPN-tunnel (or similar don't remember what we used) IIRC the trick is to have the win98 release of the game (could be win95) and not the pure dos version, and then run doxbox (think we used v0,63) and as usual fiddle with the .cfg until it works.

Stakhanov Katana's Edge	Posted - 2007.08.21 19:41:00 - [19] Originally by: Nex Angelus * MAX (Mechanized Assault and Exploration) This game is buggy as hell, but it's a really good play, especially in multi-mode. So far I haven't found any game that measures up to this when it comes to strategy. You have an excellent taste in games. MAX has the brutality of Red Alert combined with the detailed strategic scope of Civilization. Hardcore game , and the AI isn't half bad too ! A tactical game I like is Cyberstorm. Very involving , and with nice multiplayer modes for a turn based game. Originally by: Cipher7 If you manage to get baited, what's your skill, being a good victim?
Tarquin Tarquinius Gallente Escorts of Eve	Posted - 2007.08.21 19:44:00 - [20] Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) Still the best Mario game ever in my opinion. Colony Wars 1 & 2 Great Story. Great Gameplay. Multiple story arcs. One of the few games where you can fail every mission and still beat the game, albeit with a "bad" ending. Mortal Kombat Such great childhood memories. My mom refused to buy it for me, so I played it at a friends house. Such an awsomely violent game. Civilization II It was well into the PS2 era when a friend introduced me to this little gem. I think I spent 12 hours solid playing it the first time I tried. I actually got conquered by the Mongols in that first game.

Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun	Posted - 2007.08.21 19:49:00 - [21] Oh man, would have to go with heroes of might and magic series...3 being the best. There was also this RTS that came out after warcraft that was a blast to play. You had a hero that could be an excellent fighter or mage and you gained skill as you won battles. That hero was basically the general of whatever race you commanded. I had the undead skelly and everytime you gave him a command, he would say ** like "Lock up your children!" I used to gamespy with that game every night...***** blast! I think it was called warlords or something.

Me and my roommate last year played the 1st one on NES a ton... heck one time, in some amazing stroke of luck, I beat the game start to finish without ever being hit or dying. I ended up killing world 8 bowser with the very first flower you can find. Zelda Again pick any of them. My favorites are 1 and 3. Contra Yup... again... pick any of them for the SNES or NES. 1 2 and 3 are great. Civilizations Any of them, you can't really miss with one of these. Sim City I like Sim City 2000 the best personally. StarCraft Duh. Pirates! Couldl be old or new depending on point of view... still great fun. Uncharted Waters 2 Best sailing game ever. Street Fighter 2 Put it in and beat the crap out of a buddy. EDIT: AAAACK! forgot the best pc game ive ever played... X-COM UFO Defence Turn based tactical game with base building, research, aliens, and character advancement.

Then I'd have to go for Quake 1 and Quake 3. I've noticed Steam have all the older Quake games so I bought them about an hour or so ago. I've forgotten how brown Quake 1 was, but still a great game and the very first genuine 3D game. Oh yeah, and Fallout 1 and 2, and the original Baldur's Gate. I couldn't get into Baldur's Gate 2. Too many dungeons and you weren't allowed to explore the great outdoors like you could in the original BG. Hell is other people's ringtones.

Marie Sklodowska Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.08.24 14:54:00 - [79] Freelancer one of the greatest space games that gave you a sense of actually flying the ship. I wish they would develop and release a sequel Chrono-Trigger Classic! I loved the fact that I could travel back and forth through time, do whatever I wished, and have that action echo in later years. It had a central plot and story line, but you could stray from that and do smaller sidequests. www.eve-search.com \| www.eve-files.com

Amarria Black Clan Anthraxx	Posted - 2007.08.24 17:44:00 - [84] Originally by: Sharupak There was also this RTS that came out after warcraft that was a blast to play. You had a hero that could be an excellent fighter or mage and you gained skill as you won battles. That hero was basically the general of whatever race you commanded. I had the undead skelly and everytime you gave him a command, he would say ** like "Lock up your children!" I used to gamespy with that game every night...***** blast! I think it was called warlords or something. There's a turn-based strategy game similar to this on the Saturn called Dragon Force. It possesses the incredible awesome. Beat it twice over a weekend by playing 12 hours + a day.
Pang Grohl Gallente Sudo Corp	Posted - 2007.08.25 00:16:00 - [85] Elegance is the word I'd use.

Dezzereth Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2007.08.25 08:15:00 - [88] Supremacy - wonderful strategy game. Simple, yet immersive. X-COM - The first game of the series is the best turn based tactical games ever made. Period. The sequels are not that good though, imo. Fantasy General - Excellent game. Master of Orion 2 - I still recall the sleepless nights. "Just one more turn, just one more turn...", and the sun rose. Subtitans - It has it's flaws, but yet VERY fun. Chaos Overlords - It is a very simplicistic game, yet at the same time it is very deep and fun. Fallen Haven - Nice, nice. feartured a nice, non-linear campaign map. Privateer - very nice memories. Missionforce Cyberstorm - very entertaining. Mechwarrior 2 - Awesome mission design, excellent music and atmosphere. Starcraft - no need to elaborate I think. Homeworld - Nothing short of a masterpiece.
Reiisha Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.08.25 08:23:00 - [89] M.A.X. The OP reminded me of it's existence... I almost forgot about this brilliant game. Brilliant turn based strategy. Mega Race 2 The cutscenes sometimes took longer than the game itself - But it's just so ridiculous that it's fun! Lance Boyle forever! Reunion Think Imperium Galactica, Pax Imperia 2 and all that - But older. The only game that no one has ever finished, because it was way too difficult at a certain stage :P MDK One of the best games ever made. The original was simply mindblowing. I still have to find a game that was this well-thought out and ridiculous at the same time... More to come, maybe :) EVE History Wiki

Dune 2 the battle for arrrrrakis (mega drive version) Back when I was just a little kid it introduced me to the world of RTS, perhaps my favourite game ever, actually. Had kick ass techno dirges too. Cannon Fodder on the amiga 600, and Syndicate Wars...good times. Mario Kart on the SNES or 64, both fantastic, good times again. Sonic The hedgehog, master system. first game i ever played, good times. Command and Conquer Red Alert + Doom (95), most popular games at secondary school and, for my lack of never doing any school work utterly owned at them. A lot of fun. Virtua Cop, great fun at the arcades playing two at once trying to impress my mates, and sucking every time. Gran Turismo, PS, lots of fun playing against my mom :P Half Life 2, first game I played after a long break, reminded me how good a game can be. There are other games in this thread I also like, R-Type (hard as hell), Streetfighter, mortal kombat, etc, etc....People have some good taste ;oP an MMO will never touch this list as these are games not life wasting programs based on ***. Eve gets me excited at times, not sure right now if it's for the right or wrong reasons. I pay my first months subs in a week, subs* to play a game...ugh, this game better be worth it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -8<- - - - - - - Stab some scissors into the screen and cut me out.
