Old enough for you?

Goldeneye on N64. I was a student in a shared house. I'd get back from college, bang it on and as the 'dar da dumm dar da dumm' loading screen kicked in doors all over the house would open and within a minute the front room would be full of people desperate to shoot each other. At the time it was the best single player and the best multiplayer game of all time.

Cannon fodder on the commodore amiga. Amazing. 'War, never been so much fun, war, never been so much fun. Go to your brother, kill him with your gun. Leave him lying in his unifrom, dieing in the sun-nnn, war.'

Sensible world of soccer. Best.

Commando. Spectrum 48k.

Banjon kazzoie.

Diddy kong racing.

Soul calibre.

Golden axe.

F Zero x.

Ocarina of time and Majoras mask.

Perfect dark.

Time splitters 2.

Bomberman.

Mariokart.

Rainbow island

Oh god ive been gaming for far too long.

The Xenosaga series and FFX have just stuck with me all these years, Xenosaga has some great blobby CGI set in a sci-fi universe with corruption and salt-aliens. FFX is just a pure fantasy RPG which I love and adore for all of it's accomplishments.

Was THIS: mentioned yet?

Seriously, ubisoft, why did you make the anno games so bad, increasing graphics but decreasing gameplay?

Take the gameplay of 1503 add add graphics.

[jbaltus123]

that was mine too!

[trvtannenberg]

Planescape Torment, Morrowind (not as old for me), Pharaoh, Zeus, Total Annihilation, Earth 2150, Age of Empires 2 and many many more.

I sorta did montage, I have so many fond memories of so many games it's hard to throw the best ones up there..

[RedKosmos]

What I spent my early years on........

.......and now I spend my later years still playing these games

Best soundtrack for any C&C game is right here also

[breakthrough]

By hours of play, its Doom 2. By hours of play I didn't wish I could have spent better when I got older, Total Annihilation.

By genre:

RTS - Total Annihilation (with honorable mention Homeworld)

Shmup - Tyrian

FPS - Brute Force

platformer - Mega Man X4

RPG - Secret of Mana (Final Fantasy 6 is the front runner if you think SoM is too action-y to be a true RPG)

Falcon 3.0

this is the game that got me into flight sims and computers. It ran in DOS on my 286

Falcon 3.0

this is the game that got me into flight sims and computers. It ran in DOS on my 286

That was a classic, and yeah I remember my good old 286.. 4mhz beast of a machine..

if I wasn't playing Falcon 3.0, I was playing...

[KevinTMC]

My first flight sim was the subLOGIC Flight Simulator for the Apple II.

It came with two manuals; the one devoted to "Flight Physics and Aircraft Control" wouldn't have been too out of place in a general flight training course.

This game was rather hard. A family friend who actually owned and flew a Cessna was, in fact, of the opinion that it was harder than real-life flying.

I spent a lot of hours on it anyway, especially in the WWI Ace battle game.

More accessible and fun (if rather less realistic) was F-15 Strike Eagle. (Good old Sid Meier again!) There were enough different keyboard controls that I played with a friend and we divided up tasks (just like in a real F-15E!).

This thread is full of nostalgia... NEEDS MOAR!

There are a lot of my favourite games that have already been mentioned, but I could not find Alien Legacy.

Despite having never actually finished the game, I absolutely love it.

Alien legacy on Abandonia

[EKS21]

Mine is definitely The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

EDIT: I also forgot Halo: Combat Evolved. Those two games were keeping me inside better than KSP ever could.

Ahhh yes Halo, I've only just started playing this year but it's already on my top 3 favorite games!

[EKS21]

The first game I remember playing would have to be 'Chowder' followed closely by Popcap's 'Insaniquarium'!

[EKS21]

That was a classic, and yeah I remember my good old 286.. 4mhz beast of a machine..

if I wasn't playing Falcon 3.0, I was playing...

So you enjoy flying games then? I like sci-fi games when I can shoot aliens!

[Nullspace250]

Star wars battlefront 2...

No more needs to be said.

[TerrificToby]

Star wars battlefront 2...

No more needs to be said.

I certainly spent hours playing that... I still play Civ IV, though i'm not sure if it qualifies...

One other game i still play is good old Pong. Addiction.

[TerrificToby]

loved insaniquarium!

[Thiel]

Wing Commander, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Crimson Skies

[Megapead]

My Favourite old(ish) game is the first Ratchet and Clank game. It's the game that got me into gaming . I'm actually surprised no one has brought up Ratchet and Clank yet.

Some Gameplay from the original game:

[Bioman222]

Ratchet & Clank? Good times, good times. That is one heck of a game

Also, Star Wars Battlefront pictures:

Also, just for the heck of it,

My all time favorite of old games is Might and Magic II

I must have played for.. ages (Played till some of my chars reached level 250+).. back on my Amiga 500 that was..

[Thiel]

The Ratchet and Clank games remains some of the best platform games ever made for the PS2 but for some reason I don't consider them old.
