haha, I used to play leisure suit larry when I bought my first computer (a blazing 384 DX40 with 2mb of RAM for CA$2400) but I couldn't stop myself from having unprotected sex with the prostitutes and my crotch kept exploding.

Guess I should have used a rubber. :(

Nah, you needed a "walkthrough" :)
No shit! 386 DX40 was the absolutely fastest piece of machinery back in the beginning of 1990s.. Amazing how prices melt, technology builds, and we are growing up..

I remember the first game I played was Pacman, it was around 1980. I was about 5 and it was in a Black Angus restaurant.

Then came Atari, I used to play pinball all the time and Pitfall.

Then Commodore came and had lots of cool games for that, Zaxxon, Spy hunter, Ghosts & Goblins, even had some adult games.

Then came modern computers. First real cool games were Doom, Heretic, Duke Nukem, Quake. Then of course Half Life.

Now here we are and I can't wait for Doom 3 and halflife 2 to come out.

Man my 2 fav games are:

Duke Nukem 3D
Wolf 3D

Back to the good old days of gaming (mid 90s). Loved Shadow Warrior but not as good as DN. Where abouts in UK are you bruv?

StarCraft :thumbsup

Yeah my favorites 80s games, unfortunately I never finished jet set willy, too huge map :Graucho

Anything from Cinemaware, Sierra or Lucasfilm Games (not current games) :thumbsup

Dune 2
Doom

lots of them ..


c64 (80s): bruce lee, pitfall, spy vs spy, boulder dash, last ninja 1,2,3, simcity, defender of the crown ...

pc (90s): doom 1,2 , quake 1,3, starcraft, warcraft, capitalism, wolfenstein 3d, defender of the crown, full throttle, sam & max hit the road, discworld, little big adventure, screamer, destruction derby, mortal 1,2,3 (2 was the nicest one), slipstream 5K :), ecstatica, duke nukem 3d, fury of the furries, dune 1,2, Leisure Suite Larry series and OMG the list would be too long ...

there were too many nice games. I think i didn't play this millenium, and i am not too convinced by newer games ... halflife2 seemed really nice although :)

About 45 minutes outside London (near Guildford).

The game I have in my sig .. last ninja, good stuff. H.E.R.O was evil also. (C64 of course)

Zork

:winkwink:

I would say Starcraft but it's not a '80-'90 game. Well I think it was Super Mario Bros on NES, I played it for months.

Frogger, Pac Man, Double Dragon, Age of Empires, Defender.

Definatley Rampart. as well as 7th Saga, Final Fantasy, Romance of the 3 kingdoms 1 2 and 3, and of Course the ever popular Altered Beast.

We are one and the same :thumbsup

I still have all of those games on my 700mhz w/ win 95 :thumbsup

LOVED Zork, did you play the return of zorks?
All of em were great.

Zork, worst game ever, it's was text-only rpg, unless you talk about another Zork game. :(

Kaboom, on Atari...though I liked the bowling game too, what a fucking loser I was

MULE and Jumpman
