ZOMG!! teh classic computer games neeehaww

Sign in to disble this ad
hehe...I was rummaging threw all my emulators on my gaming computer, and to my great delight, I found my favorite stealth shooter game...


castle wolfenstein


I've been playing this game for HOURS now. I can't get over the cheezy, yet awesomeness of this game. When I'm done i'm busting out wolfenstein 3D and maybe doom II if i can find it.

So, what is TB's favorite classic old-school computery games?

Try to find Rise of The Triad... (AKA RoTT)

That was a good one.

Wolf was/is amazing stuff. My first RPG was The Legend of Kyrandia it was beyond awesome. Additionally Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos was uber-cool. With Patrick Stewart voicing King Richard what more did you need?

I just trashed the computer with the 5.5 disk, I need to put
that in a drive box and hook the old games up.

I had
Wolfenstein
Captain Comic took a year out of my life.
MS flight simulator. Yup.
TPA Golf
Pacman

I think I still have all the disks. Pack rat.

My wife never found those pics of that chick famous
for the V shaped.... well, never mind.

Yeah, LS Larry. We had our boss hooked on that for 6 months,
months he didn't bother us.

My 3 favorites are:

Wolfenstein 3d
Raptor
Jazz JackRabbit


trying to beat Raptor on the elite mode was stupefyingly difficult, yet amazingly fun.

Some I used to play:
Wolfenstein, Commander Keen, Red Baron, King's Quest, Space Quest, LS Larry, Fifa, Grand Prix 1 + 2.

Perhaps it's rose coloured glasses but I can't remember having so much fun with these games than anything I've played since.

ooohh the memories

King's Quest 1 through 6, baby.

As someone mentioned, Rise of the Triad was good fun.

Wolfenstein is complete genius. Commander Keen is great too. The Hitchhiker's Guide text adventure is impossible but entertaining. A game I used to play a lot is Space Rogue - brilliant RPG with clever space flight simulator that was way ahead of its time.

Commander Keen was good... along with the side-scrolling Duke Nukem games.
