Your favorite childhood video game.

hey

Metal Slug is not abandonware, man. Their is still a market for that shit. NeoGeo is still alive believe it or not, and companies like Playmore(people who bought SNK) still have a list of games to be released on it.

Intellivision Rocks! There are emulators out there for intellivision so the you can play the games on the PC. Not as cool as the actual thing, but fun nonetheless. I too love Tron: Deadly Disk [ the Recognizer was the best ]

Other Intellivision games that rocked:

D&D Treasure of Tarmin (also known as Minotaur)
Atlantis
Astrosmash
Lock & Chase
Night Stalker
 
Day of Tentacle a few years ago.
Fallout 1 & 2 and Metal Gear Solid in younger times (and since I'm only 20 that does count as "childhood video game").
 
wasteland
legacy of the ancients
jumpman & jumpman jr.
mail order monsters
archon
M.U.L.E. (best cutthroat game EVAR)
wizard's crown
buck rogers countdown to doomsday & matrix cubed

(all on me ol' C64)
 
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Game Boy. Been in love with the series ever since (yes I'm a mincy faggot who plays Zelda; now piss off :P).

Yeah, 2+ years. Still, it seems everyone was just waiting for it to reappear.

You're all too young, though. I remember seeing actual Space Invaders and Asteroids arcade machines in the late 70s when I was far too young to play them. In the early 80s my dad brought home from work an early form of laptop whose pixels were something like 1x1 mm on a small LCD screen. You could play Light Cycle (Tron) or a kind of bombing game that was quite fun and had a game idea I've never seen anywhere else. Later on there were Nintendo handheld thingies like Donkey Kong and actual colour graphics on the Spectrum! Atic Atac! It's shite now but back then it was awesome.
 
Knightlore, Elite etc. Ah Space Invaders... Whenever I get
disillusioned about games programming, I just think back
to the one we had at the local cafe.. and how I could piss
people off by pressing the reset button at the back. 8)
 
oh god yeah good dig!

SPECTOR! eh eh
Doom
SPACE QUEST IV... ROGER WILLCO - And the time rippers (really the entire series is so good. Sierra should grave dig that)
Lmfao ohh man, Bolo and Hell Cats on my old MacIISi
Definately the Sonic series on SegaCD
Ohh the memories

i'm ashamed to admit, that when i first tried it waaaay back that i gave up on it after yet another totally useless death.


as for more games, i played commander keen, BoB & Tornado a lot.
for the REAL oldies, i also loved one of those 2D artillery games i can remember the name of...
 
Pirates, Civilization, SimCity, Red Baron, F-19, Pitfall... who would remember them all?

Macintosh Internet Information Services?
 
I started with Spy Hunter on the Commodore 64...

Moved up to various Ataris and into the NES and SNES Golden Years...

(FF2 was good times.)
 
I'm still waiting for some old forum Ent to say something
like "Temple of Apshai" on the Commodore PET (1979).
 
TELENGARD on the C64


-- heh, i loved this game, i took the original source, and ran it thru the blitz basic compiler, added some timing tweaks and disk save game code... THEN the load times and game speed was perfect :)
 
I had no games when i was a child.....

Only once..... me and my cousin got a greates video game of all time.
It was in a small white box which had controls on either end.
You could pplay as defender or atacker.
defender had one small blue ship at the bottom of the screen that could move only left and right and shoot, and atacker would have 20 red ones that could move in any direction except back and could not shoot.

what a game..... sigh.....

eh eh eh... Wait, why is the word Internet being assosiated with my MacIIsi... It can't do it. It DONT have the POWER!

*Pats Sina on the back* It's ok Sina... I know a good counselor, her name is Rebecca... 32, single... looks 25 5'10" dark hair brown eyes, Latin T&A... oh yeah, that’s counseling. ahh, I'll look up the number 1-900 something. eh eh
 
Police quest and the Leisure suit Larry series (the ones Al Lowe was helping with), Simon the sorcerer?

Have anyone played Hopkins FBI? So damn good looking adventure game. The gory hand-drawn movies gave it a Mature ESRB rating I think.
