Classic memories of our childhood

[majestic12]

This, along with Wolfenstein 3D, Wing Commander, and Prince of Persia got me interested in computers. Later on, Doom's high requirements (386 running at 33 MHz, 4 megs of RAM!) got me interested in learning how to make my computer do more. All of the learning could have been spared had I learned to press the left shift key, f5, or f8 when booting up...

 

[TAViX]

The first game that make me upgrade the memory of my 486DX 100Mhz to 8MB RAM was Syndicate, one of the best games I play in highschool:

Then Prehistoric 1 and 2 also were awesome!

Then Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, with superb graphics:

And, not the last, one of 2 BEST games I have ever played, DeusEx and Descent Freespace 1+2

 

[streetfighter 2]

Of course street fight ,how carzy when child

Glad someone mentioned it

Oh and lets not forget about Nibbles (Snake) back in the days of Qbasic:

And the best thing LucasArts ever did, Day of the Tentacle:

 

[majestic12]

Ahh Street Fighter 2... The reason I bought a Super Nintendo!

 

[gumpty]

Oh god.

My prevailing memory is using my psychic powers to make Settlers not crash on startup with our Amiga 500.

And North & South was a favorite too:

My brother used to buy pirated games from a guy by mail-order! Every couple of months the guy would post out a list of games he had, how many diskettes it was, and the cost per diskette. Awesome.

He must have been someone else that was banned before. IP can be a bitch.

Classic memories for me. First game I played was Super Mario Bros on NES. Then I moved up to Doom, Duke Nukem, but I have to say the one that stands out for me is.......

Well here goes my Bandwidth Bombshell...

Firstly - starting where it all began :

On to a wide spread of my old favorites - there where MANY more - but these are a few i can still get a shot of :

On to a special mention :

And then to the greatest OLD game of my life - and still IMO the best WarCraft EVER - relative to it's time and technology :

 

[Phxprovost]

The Mortal Kombat games were fun, no doubt, but Killer Instinct was my favorite fighting game from those days.

Co,co,co,co, COMBO BREAKER!


F#@King Orchid. She almost broke me of my Asian girl fetish. I never wanted to punch a bitch so bad in my life.

Damn. I really pity you. No irony here. One of the best games EVER produced were made in the '90. Back then the "artists" were more interested in the gameplay, story, intelligence, and duration.
I have to mention here BEST strategy games of all times: C&C Red Alert and Tiberian Sun, Warcraft 2, Transport Tycoon, Sim City 3000, Little Big Adventure 2, Syndicate,
then BEST quest games ever, like Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, The Longest Journey,
and not the least BEST 3D games: Doom 1/2, Hexen 1/2, Heretic, ROTT, Quake 1, Unreal 1/2, DeusEx, Descent 1/2, Freespace, Wing Commander, etc

God, I really miss those games on my 15 incher!!!

Today I think the series like Mass Effect, M.O.H., C.O.D., are worth mention it, not because of graphics, but gameplay.

I agree. Late 80's, 90's and EARLY 2000's were a golden age. We are decades behind the times now. Quake 3 was the last game that hit me like a ton of bricks. Now everything is a port and paid DLC.......broken record is broken.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

YA!! K I !!! I used to take Maya all the time and mastered her in like a day in the arcade. My personal favorite was this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Trilogy_Arcade . When I was homeless in the 90s this game and the arcade that housed it kept me warm all the time

 

[Zen_]

My dad and I were both serious arcade junkies. That's what I miss most about the golden age, when you get actually get mad at the guy who just kicked your ass in Mortal Kombat. So many sub zero and scorpion noobs! If I had invested all the quarters spent on Raiden and Ghost N' Goblins I'd probably be set for life...loved all these games so much.

Console wise I guess SNES Mario Kart, Goldeneye N64, Twisted Metal on PS and Soul Caliber on DC. All those games were so fun with friends.
