Anyone know where I can download Monkey Island 1 + 2?
And before you start *****ing about 'no warez', I own the first 3 Monkey Island games but they're stowed away in the loft somewhere, beneath great mountains of Lego blocks.

Bah, pre-2000. A pre-1990 thread would be more interesting :)
As for pre-2000:
(in no particular order, limiting to PC games only)
Icewind Dale
Freespace: The Great War
Starcraft
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Little Big Adventure
-
I can't believe that no one has said this:
Super Metroid
My favorite game of all time.
-
Pre 1990? OK,
1. Super Mario Bro's 3 *"PRE 90? don't know"
2. Legend of Zelda
3. Kirby's Adventure *"PRE 90? don't know"
4. Super Mario Bro's
5. Super Mario Bro's 2
-
In no particular order :
Tie Fighter
Wing Commander
Diablo 2
Civilization
Freespace 2
Though I could go on for a while.
-
I am a little surprised no one else has said Master of Magic. It was the perfect empire builder at the time and I have seen nothing since that appeared to have the same Fun Factor as MoM. Head over to HotU and pick it up.
TS has it's high points, just not many of them and I'm hard pressed to think of one at the moment, but it does have a few. Rumor has it that EA has finally pulled it's head out of it ass and started work on C&C 3: Tiberian Nightfall or sommat, if true I only hope that they've contracted out for a quality product and aren't going to make another General.
-
If it ain't Westwood it ain't CnC.
though I've never been too big a fan of the series (not due to its quality, I just haven't played much of it)
-
Terra Nova (poor Looking Glass)
Dark Reign (released a few days before Total Annihilation-didn't stand a chance)
Total Annihilation
Freespace 1 and 2
Tie Fighter
Delta Force 2 (Nothing quite compares to sitting on a hill a kilometer away and firing 1 or two shots, then changing postion and repeating-20 kills, 0 deaths...ah yes, that was fun)
Half-Life
Ground Control (it was out in 1999, I think-if not it was in Jan 2000)
-
Nah, got an e-mail from EA or Westwood or whoever runs these things now. They're making another Red Alert game :blah:
*plays Battle for Middle-earth*

MOST of my games are pre 2000! :lol:
1. Starcraft
2. Transport Tycoon (Deluxe)
3. Civ 2
4. Quake 2
5. SimCity 2000
Between Transport tycoon, Civ 2, SC2000, and Starcraft (dont play quake as much) I've wasted thousands of hours of my life. Civ 2 is especially hard to stop playing, atleast starcraft has a definative end to the mission.

Yup. Not sure how much further they can actually milk it. Moscow has been destroyed so many times.
Personally, I was disheartened after they brought in pyschic troopers...
-
And the mind-controlled Squid of Doom..... :doubt:
-
I've been browsing HotU, The Legacy and sites like that.
I didn't know how many games I had played. Browsing all that stuff from half a lifetime ago made me terribly sentimental.

Squids...
You pop one with one Destroyer. Simple as that. But seriously... another RA game? It's been beaten to death already.
-
I wish they would remake MoM.
Planescape: Torment was Perfection in an RPG.

It's C&C Red Alert 3 actually

There (http://amigos.amiga.hu/ancientoys/review_ambermoon.html) you are. Beware, it's quite old and needs an Amiga emulator. :D
The prequel, Amberstar, is available as a PC version through HOTU.
-
1) UFO: Enemy Unknown (Well that's what it was called in the UK ok!!!)
2) Freespace 1/2 (Bought as combined set so :p)
3) Simon the Sorceror 1/2 (Again box set WITH Talkie for StS1)
4) Star Trek A Final Unity (Buggy as hell but first game I ever played on a PC and was really good at the time)
5) X-Com Apocalypse (Biggest case of release date over game functions ever :( )
Honorable mentions to Starcraft, Diablo II, Heroes of Might and Magic various incarnations and Tie Fighter (where I first fell in love with the Space Flight sim...although X-Com Interecptor tried to kill it).
-
A Final Unity was quite cool, though I never encountered any bugs.
-
In no real order... they're my favorites, after all!
1.Tyrian. [nobody mentioned it? Shame on you!:p]
2.FS series.
3.C&C series, including all of the various spin-offs etc.
4.Total Annihilation.
5.Hm... it's hard one. I guess that Major Stryker may qualify, or Master of Orion 2. Most likely it'll be MOO2. I spent so many times with this game.:D
-
And not to forget my old Amiga:
Epic
Turrican 2
Desert Strike
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Fighter Bomber
Project X

The problem it had mainly was a penchant for severe crashery...and not CTd crashery (as that didn't happen in Windows 3.11 days) but full on system freezing, bone-chilling, jowl-wobbling crashery
The main problems appeared to be on Allanor in that game where one time, I don't remember how, but the game decided to beam all my guys up at random ending the mission short and I had to do the damn thing again....also this is where my system now crashes if I try to play the game in XP (virtually impossible but managed it once). Shame really, just wish when they re-released it they would have made it 9x compatible.
My mates PC was prone to a bit of crashing but I think Final Unity was what gave it most nightmares....don't the UFO requires enough system resources to crash anything :D
-
I remember A Final Unity. One of my first PC games too. It didn't crash so much for me and my cousin as it was hard.

It's C&C Red Alert 3 actually
arg. it better not be gay and cartoonish as RA2.
I actually liked TS, but by the time it came out, the RTS genre had became oversaturated. The AI ****ing cheated in skirmish mode as well, which pissed me off to no end. TS also had the ability to make really cool looking bases (i should get a screenshot). i mean which other RTS allows you to pave your base?
-
Dune 2000

Didn't find it that hard. But it was by far not my first PC game, maybe that's the difference.

the TS exoansion deed indeed rock but it nearly allways crashed too. Never did find out why.

Allanor just completely stumped me (even now official walkthoughs do it WRONG) and even getting a good ending to the first mission wasn't blindingly obvious. The rest was pretty easy though....like how the game goes down different paths depending on what you do though. Interesting for 1993 tech or whenever it was. Plus it was Point & Click which was the daddy of PC game formats :D , although fighting 6 Chodak Dreadnaughts wasn't what I called fun :mad:
-
Wow. ST:TNG:AFU. What memories that brings back. Wow. :( :)
-
:D
(http://www.netcologne.de/~nc-muenchma2/Bild118.jpg)
Maybe I should install that again. It's been 10 years since I last played it, as it was published in 1995.
-
Those old game boxes were pretty cool. DVD cases suck ass.
-
Aww man I remember that - especially the damned bit where you have to cross a room with changing floor tiles. Anyway...
What I loved was the space battles (cause remember this was before anything like Academy, Command or Armada).
-
Good luck installing it on a modern day PC :D It no like such things and Windows Xp Dos faking makes it cry
Not to mention the fact, have you seen the speed of the battles on an Athon 2200+ :eek: ....not much to do but cheat in those circumstances...although if you do get it to work please tell me how, I love that game
-
psst....use the Dosbox Luke!
-
1: Thief. Hands down.
2: Descent 1-2
