The best old old skool game has to be "Elite"  truly amazing playing that on a BBC Micro. God I'm old.

heroes of might and magic -- that's some serious nostalgia porn right there

[Swordsoffreedom]

(3DO Windows 1995 Heroes of Might and Magic with the Spinning Globe)

scrambling to go download a copy of this somehow to go relive my childhood

I know that feeling all to well long live Heroes reminded me to go find that CD I mentioned a day back haha

[beetcoin]

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.

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

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)

oh lord, i remember playing this game in high school.. either hot seat or via my 33.6 KBPS modem. and it was fun as hell. my favorite race was probably the ones with the titans and halflings.. and then the warlocks/dragons were pretty good too.

Ultimate Domain was classic.

I always enjoyed playing the fairies since I always had the indian druid guy and the Sprites which were attractive enough plus the Elves and their double attack.
FIRST UNIT I TOOK OUT unless they had a phoenix (Then Armageddon to All of them including my own troops lol)
Late game use a skilled hero with high magic skills and send it off to suicide attack with Armageddon + a cursed item if I had one.
Recall Armageddon worked on Phoenixs but not on Dragons
Since the quests changed your Castle depending on what scenario you were playing.
That reminded me of how random the cannon fire when attacking castles were.
The Paladins Clanging sound was cool weakest ultimate hero for its HP but fast if I was lucky I mean real lucky my favorite troop was GHOST followed by Genies the best counter to Ghosts.



Go sexy sprites

So who remembers this one there was also that tower game as well with wizards can't recall its name atm.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis / The Last Crusade were two of my favourite point-click games,
I could play with those games today and still enjoy them.

Sitting here reminiscing about old school computer games and this one popped into my mind.  Surprised it hasn't been brought up yet.  I remember playing it for hours and hours, day after day.  Here is an original screen shot of it, didn't realize the game was so old.



Never played that version, but I did have this version on my old IBM Aptiva.



I really wish I still had the city I made, that thing took forever.  Once it reached full size, I was constantly tweak it and make improvements.  Then there was always the fun of setting a disaster on the city, LOL!

It was also interesting to cut power to areas, raises taxes, cut funding, etc. just to see what would happen.

[hollowframe]

oh yeah. i had a lot of fun with the original sim city, but sim city 2000 sucked up like a year of my life when you add it all up....

[Lethn]

Okay, just realised I know a lot more games than I thought

I was around 16 at the time and had no life.  It's likely a good thing I can't remember that time in detail.  The amount of hours I spent on the game would probably make me throw up, LOL!

I tried playing it again around 8 years ago, whatever the newest one was at the time.  Started getting in to it far too much and had to stop playing it.  Apparently the newest one was a real train wreck.

It's fun to sit and think back to the games from the past.  I seriously had totally forgot about how much I played Sim City back in the day.

Damn! I just thought of another one I played the fuck out of:


Oh the memories!

[aliceHortrex]

Knytt stories rocks. It's not as vintage as the ones before, but, damn, the music in this game is so awesome. And it looks nice.
