Old frickin games.

[GrilledCheese28 (aka Aruth)]

I've been video-gaming for a while. I guess since...uhhh...wow...1978'ish?

Anyone have any really old favorites that they would love to play today? (but your too lazy to futz with an emulator)

There were a bunch I had in the 80's for my C=64 that I would LOVE to see & hear again.

Phantasie and its sequels....
Magic Candle
original Bard's Tales (lets face it, the newest one they released SUCKED...bought that terd used for the Xbox and SO glad I didnt pay full price)
Adventure Contruction Set
Blue Max
Ace of Aces
Bad Dudes (that had to be Ellwin's favorite)
Wizard (I think that was the name of the Jumpman spin-off)
All the games in the series with Legacy of the Ancients

Ahhh well, just reminiscing a bit

[Aberrant]

Bad Dudes was a great one.

I would also like.....

River City Ransom
California Games
Ski or Die
Secret of Monkey Island
Police Quest (all of them)
Space Quest (all of them)
Kings Quest (the first 2)
Tie Fighter
Lode Runner
Goonies for the NES
Punch Out
The original Prince of Persia

And this one is a bit newer, but I really want a next-gen Road Rash, played over Xbox Live, that would rock.

[Wrasse]

The Bard's Tale rocked!

I played a few of the old Ultimas, I loved the Infocom adventures (but don't think I'd play them again now ), my father and I played the Wizardry series and games like Lode Runner were great.

*edit*

One game Mal and I loved was Mutant League Football for the Gensis (a bit later I know). Man that game was fun...you could purposefully throw interceptions (football bombs) and blow up the defenders.

[Aberrant]

Mutant League was a good one. You would think a developer would go back to something like that, since only EA can make NFL games.

Mal and I have this discussion at least once a year.

It boggles the mind.

[GrilledCheese28 (aka Aruth)]

I remember most of those.... how about California Games?

[GrilledCheese28 (aka Aruth)]

Well maybe someone can do a video game version of Games Workshop's old football combat game


edit: Blood Bowl! That was the name that was escaping me.

[Turd Fergusen]

I am never too lazy to mess with an emulator =D I use it to play Dragon Warrior 4.

If you buy the new Bard's Tale, which is nothing like the old series, you get the old series for free! The new one is fun in a different way.

[Nefertiti]

Good memories, late nights, and called-in-sick shifts on those lists! ;D

Secret of Monkey Island (pirate fetish, rarr!)
Police Quest
Space Quest
Kings Quest
Prince of Persia
X-COM: UFO Defense
Masters of Orion

[GrilledCheese28 (aka Aruth)]

X-COM: UFO Defense

X-com rocked! Well at least the first 2 did...I didnt play the third version.

[Kaarenyth]

Pool of Radiance for my C64 - I played the hell out of that game.

original F16 was great - played that head to head across a 2400 baud modem.

X-Wing from lucas arts - and Privater.

There was another one too privater in planes, can't remember it was good too.

The Arcade Version of Afterburner! that was cool.

[Athene]

The Curse of Monkey Island.
The Legend of Zelda - SNES
Street Fighter II

[GrilledCheese28 (aka Aruth)]

Karateka!

One of the few games were you can die within 2 seconds of starting the game, just by taking 2 steps backward.

[Winin]

I've been downloading the old arcade games for Xbox360. I'm still waiting for Spy Hunter and Space Ace. I do have Joust though.

[Shenro]

Marble Madness
Police Quest
Space Quest
Kings Quest
Quest for Glory (1-3 especially)
Gabriel Knight
Ultima 1 - 7
Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle

I'm sure there's lots of others. I actually have a DVD full of the classic games kicking around somewhere. All the Sierra classics, Ultima, Bards Tale, Wizardry series, and a few other gems.
