I'm not sure about favorite, but I definitely spent a lot of time with time: Chaos, the Battle of Wizards. You are a wizard, and your mission is to kill every other wizard on the board. To accomplish this, you have an arsenal of spells at your disposal, ranging from summoning creatures to aid you in your efforts, to casting lightning bolts on the heads of your unsuspecting foes. Damn, now I want to play that game again...

Here's a video of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTFITF0ofF0.



PS: while searching for the pic, I noticed that someone ported this to android.

[Lethn]

The earliest game I remember was C&C lol

Edit: I actually played the original nintendo with that weird brick controller ages ago but the games are so old I actually don't remember the names, I'd probably get my memory back on it though if I had gameplay footage

[Gimmelfarb]

oh, oh! i mentioned wolfenstein and galactix, but how could i forget this masterpiece -- heroes of might and magic!! the first one was my favorite. i think they started churning a bunch of them out, didnt keep up.

[terrapinflyer]

Oh man I played the shit out of Hero's of Might and Magic, that really brings me back!

...and the RPG variant (Might and Magic) was also brilliant. Have you guys played Ultima Underworld? Wizzardry was also a really good one.

Anyone spend countless hours trying to play that morass of a game The Magic Candle?  I was just a kid and the instructions were so thick I just tried playing it without the instructions and I was clueless.  It was like a huge fantasy world and you had to write things down and the game took like 100 hours or something.  I had no patience though and it got really tough for my little kid brain.

Prince of Persia was also an old PC classic. no -- i am absolutely NOT talking about the new school "Sands of Time" installment. the original was awesome!!

Anyone remembmer and play this game growing up?  First played it on the good old Commodore 64.  Later it was released on the Nintendo.  I still it to this day on the computer through a Nintendo emulator.  You can even play it online, even though I haven't tried it.

Never heard of it, but it definitely sounds intriguing. I'm gonna have to check it out and possibly give it a try if I can find it and get it to work.

I remember when I was about 8-9 years old, I played Leisure Sweet Larry with my parent's pc,
the 8 color graphics was amazing for the time, I enjoyed that game much...

Oh man This was the best game ever the one of my childhood
Long live Heroes of Might and Magic and the powerful Blue Flag
It was also neat that you could sometimes find artifacts from the defeated heroes of the other players hehe or send a suicide hero if you pick up the scroll of misfortune hehe.
Mmm think I still have this Windows 95 CD tempted now played this a heck of a lot with that soundtrack
Boots of Haste Medals of Valor Gauntlets Good old money purses

(Oh and Peasant army for the win easy to get them to join you and put haste on those things and they are powerful)

LOL!

I remember that game.  My buddy had it for the Apple IIE if I remember correctly.  The questions they asked at the beginning to prove that you were of age were hilarious.  Oddly enough, the questions are a lot harder now than they were when I was a kid, LOL!

Other than that, I think back to the store where you buy the condoms, LOL!



Classic!

There you go.  You will need a dos emulator like DosBox or D-Fend to run it though.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried the file yet, so be sure to have an antivirus/antimalware program ready just in case.
