Video games??? What happened to REAL Role Playing Games - where you sit in a room all Saturday with a Dungeon Master hidden behind his dungeon master's screen arguing rules with the kid who just bought the brand-new Players' Guide? And no one questioned why Orcs would be underground next to a trap room with a basilisk? ("Ogres? Cool! I got an ogre-slaying knife! It's got a plus-nine against ogres!")

...But I loved Asteroids and Defender. Donkey Kong Country for SNES. Podracer on N64. Mario Kart Double Dash on GameCube. Haven't spent enough time with MVP Baseball 04 to score runs, much less win games.

Blue
 
Blue Ninja...yep, that's where I got my Pharaoh/Cleopatra copy.
 
Wik- All I have is Allied Assault

the D-Day mission is very hard, took me awhile, almost got the single player completed.
 
Arcade:

qbert
galaga
galaxian
pole position (sometime in the early 80's, I used to put the high score on the Pole Position machine at Penn Station's Station Break every day on my way home from work... I guess the real fun was the awe from the kids, since the game actually wasn't all that much fun and was real short).

Atari 400/800:

Star Raiders
Jawbreaker
Breakout
(several other games that I will probably remember the names of once I post this reply... From late 79 to early 84, I worked at and managed a bunch of retail computer stores (4 locations eventually) in Manhatan, NY (DigiByte which then became Computer Center). We sold Atari's and TI99/4A's and C-64's and Cromemco's (anyone remember them?)... in fact, I ran the store's mail-order software business (Software City) for a long time... anyway, I don't remember all that much of the details thru the haze... did eat a LOT of cold pizza at like 2am, tho) Anyway, I played just about all of the games back then, so I could demo them to customers (yeah, right)

Various PC's:

Zork (and most, well, many, other Infocom games... in fact, I should introduce my kids to these... I found an interpreter for them a while back and I have a whole bunch of the games)

IBM-compatible systems:

An old EGA-era game called Sherlock (a puzzle game), pc-hack, some of the Infocom games...

I work at a college and many of the student workers have tried to get me into various games like Starcraft, but I've never really caught on to them... seem too complicated.

Hmmm... I should dig out my old Atari 800... eh, or just the joysticks for it, and use one of the Atari emulators on one of my PC's
 
I had the original Castle Wolfenstein on the Commodore 64.. dual CPM floppy drives rocked!!

Zork... 1 & Zork 2

fade to a black (or amber or green) text screen with a blinkin cursor.....

I knew I'd forget at least one! :rolleyes:

I lost loads of time to Pokemon Yellow on a Gameboy Emulator, and Dragon Warrior Monsters too - theres a fun game if you like fight-with-monsters-RPGs - you can breed your monsters to make newer and (mostly) better ones.

Post 1,000!!!! W00T!!! .... and I wasted it talking about Pokemon (lol).

I play multiplayer for Black Hawk Down

Metal Gear Solid is one awesome game, still play on the PS 1.:)
I remember plying Oregon Trail, whatta classic, I would like to get BF1942, but i only have 56k modem it will probably lag, but Black Hawk Down works fine, maybe I should give it try.
 
1942 runs ok on 56k on server with like 8 or less people, so stalingrad would be an ok map...

that game is my like life... leader of clan blah blah...
