willstrickland Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 GALAGA baby! Best game ever made. All time fave. Centipede was cool, Tempest was fun. But nothing could touch Galaga. the original Mortal Combat, Punch Out was fun and this other game I forget the name of where you could play as team of 2 and were basically just kickin ass in street fights..might have even been called street fighter. You could kick someone's ass and take their weapon...a chain was one of them I remember. Quote

layton Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 wasn't it up up down down left right left right ba ba start? Nofriendo: METRIOD Atari 2600: Kaboom!!!!!!!!!!!!! Intellivision: B52 bomber Apple IIc: Apple Cider Spider! IBM XT: Leisure Suit Larry! Arcade: 2 player mario bros (original)-you could totally fuck the other player with the POW thingy. WORST GAME EVER: that arcade game that looked like a cartoon movie, and it cost like 2 fucking dollars, and you actually couldn't controll the action and you die instantly Quote

Most of those games sucked if you didn't use the code. Nintendo classics (used to play this shit totally high on a HUGE bowl of Frosted Flakes on Sat mornings): Super Mario Bros of course Mach Rider Legend of Zelda Kid Icarus Contra one of those mega man games paperboy Quote

Lambone Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 Do you mean Golden Axe? That game was the shit! And it was cool before all the Lord of the Rings Movie Hype...I liked being the dwarf with the bg ass axe! Quote
iain Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 gauntlet pretty much ate quarters for breakfast too. the buttons were always broken because you had to kills so many f'ing guys constantly Quote
layton Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 No, that's not it. This was like watching a cartoon movie. I think it was called something like "Dragon Quest" or Johnny somthing....? "I want my two dollars!" Actually, my favorite games were the text based games where you had to type things like "Go North" or "Pick up Torch." You had to use your imagination. Quote
willstrickland Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Yeah, it WAS Dragon Quest...fuckin bullshit is what they should have called it! Kung Fu was cool. I remember playing some weird game on the apple IIE where you were wandering around Hitler's bunker it was like a primitive version of Doom and if you got far enough you could see Hitler, but we never figured out how to get in there and wax his ass.

iain Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 wolfenstein another IIe game was karateka where you had to play for fricken ever and when you beat the last guy after like 4 hours you rescued this princess but if you didn't press some bow key she kicked your ass and you had to start over. bitch.

layton Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 "Contrary to popular belief, both Dragon's Lair and Space Ace did contain diagonal movements. In some cases, these movements were simply the combination of two acceptable moves, while in other cases the diagonal move was distinct (for example, during the whirlpool segment, moving to the right or left is acceptable, moving diagonal up-right or up-left is acceptable, but simply moving up results in death). In all cases, the diagonal moves were optional, and there was always a 4-way alternative. The '91 re-release of Space Ace contained some diagonal moves that were required." Shit, if I only knew that back then. Quote
iain Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 now I remember that game. no one EVER touched that thing Quote

EWolfe Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 This one pretty much ate up my summer's earnings at the "Sasparilla Saloon" in Anacortes: Talk about old school Quote
Wopper Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) Football and baseball on the old Nintendo..circa early 90's. Nightly ritual during the week at CWU....go to library, stop and get Foster's on the way home, get home get baked, play Nintendo w/ whatever roommates were home while drinking an oil can, watch Letterman, go to bed. I miss those days! Edited December 11, 2003 by Wopper Quote
