Devogen Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 G'day everyone,Well after some nostalgic conversations tonight regarding great old games, I've decided to make a thread which will focus on a different game every week from the past and the machine it was released on.Being honest, alot of you are not old enough to know what a vintage game is or plays like (this is the under 15's im talking to, and theres a few of you) So i figured you really needed to see what things were like back when. I'll be reviewing games on consoles and PC's (ie including the Amiga 500 and the Atari ST) so everything will be covered and alternate weekly. I figure your all pixel art freaks, and over time there has been some seriously good hand drawn pixel art in older games.Since it was the topic of tonight, I will Start with Wonder Boy III, the Dragons Trap on the Sega Master System.Im not going to just review, im going to play these games through… again. so stay tuned I'll post some screenies and review tomorrow.Please feel free to offer suggestions of great old games that need their 15 mins of fame again.

Reguba Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Heh, being only 16 right now, I did miss out on this stuff when it came out… But none the less I had step bros who got all this stuff when it was new so I have all these vintage games laying about :POne of my favorite vintage games was, Kaboom... Oh god that game was addicting.This thread just reminded me of another ancient piece of equipment, for those of you who remember the "Game Genie" << I loved that damn thing. Still got the book of codes for it too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 lol i had the game genie… not sure where i got it from.. probably borrowed it from a friend, and just forgot about it... but eventually it was the only way i could get nes games work again! I had completely taken my nes apart... had to have games stacked on top of the one i was playing to hold it down... and then had to use the game genie to get the game to read.

Kusy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I loved those. Also a good oldschool game is Duke Nukem (the real one before 3D) - it's quite shitty but you should know what are the orgins of one of the best games ever. Conquest Of The New World, Ascendancy, Simon the Sorcerer… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwen Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 original dune is much different than dune2… 2 totaly different games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmont Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 could you edit vehicles on dune 2? like change weapons/tyres on them? I think I might have played it on ps2, or it might be a totally different game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 no… it was basically starcraft but in the dune world... im almost positive it was the first rts of that type, or it was the one that brought rts to the mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylexus44 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The original Age of Empires is one of the most nostalgic and epic games in my mind (my dad showed me how to play it when I was 4 years old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombie0hour Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Age of Empires is the best game ever! I have the gold edition with the first AOE with the expansion and the second AOE with its expansion. The first and second ones are consitered the best RTS games to ever exist. I love AOE to death! Number 3 killed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 3 killed it!No, AOE will never die, 3 just lowered its rep a bit, 4 will do the same. But 5 will be epic.I still play online for those of you who wish to challenge me… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reguba Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ha, I'm surprised to see Commander Keen mentioned lol I love that game, It's sittin' in my closet. "Good bye Galaxy" it was something like the first two episodes in one… Oh the nostalgia... :PNote: Gwen you're right, Dune was either one of, or was the first real RTS.

Devogen Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Excellent response guys, ironically youve all mentioned games that were my favourites, so they definately will come along in the thread. If I happen to finish the game lets say within 24 hours (lol not hrd) ill do as many per week as possible.Hell we could even have high score competitions… remember those days? high scores???
