Re: Stupid video games you still like
No matter how old I get, I could play Galaga for hours. Bionic Commando for NES was always a hit. And Doom for play station one kicks ass. Oh, and don`t forget Teken!

Pong was the first I ever played, Galaga was the second. I loved that game, and was good at it too.
I don't know if many of you know this but if you have windoz and go into your NT folder you'll find Pin Ball in there. |

Re: Stupid video games you still like
There was a classic, a Japanese game with zombies and bats and other monsters. You had a six-shooter and when you were out of rounds it'd say: RELOAD RELOAD. What was that one?

Re: Stupid video games you still like
Pole Position and Choplifter on the commodore Vic20 were brilliant, PP was obviously a racing game and CL was flying a chopper rescuing people.

Re: Stupid video games you still like
^ Dude, Choplifter ruled. I was addicted to that one! Topped everyone else's score on it, but I played it on the Commodore 64.

Conflict
An Middle Eastern political simulator (quite accurate ) where you are the PM of Israel and has to balance foreign policy/support foreign subversives/military spending/Palestinian problem/UN demands and hard liners in your own country.. etc etc ......
Highest score 601

Re: Stupid video games you still like
Pong
although the newish Space Invaders really gives me a chubby, so I may have to forget about my dearly loved Pong.

Anybody remember Zaxxon? Tempest was by far the most addictive.

Re: Stupid video games you still like
Elite - Amiga
Manic Miner - Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Phoenix (loved that one) ZX Spectrum
Uridium C-64
International Karate C-64
Also, a lot of defunct companies made some really cool games.
Remember Accolade, U.S. Gold, Ocean, Team 17, Codefuckingmasters... and who could forget Raindow Arts, the maker of super amazing Turrican 2.

Re: Stupid video games you still like
^ I think a lot of them warped into other companies mate.
Ocean became Infogrammes.
Ultimate became Rare (and some of them left to form Free Radical).
Team 17 and Codemasters are still pumping them out.
Rainbow Arts was eaten by THQ although some left to form their own company.
