The grapics may not be much, but it is fun!

You don't know how many hours of my life have been lost to that game  

[Thorn]

oh god..
I'll be here all night now...

[Stryke 9]

That the game with the artillery pieces shooting at each other? Cloned to death and beyond?

[Thorn]

Actually, it was a clone itself I believe...
I think Tank Wars came before it, and its pretty much exactly the same...

[CP5670]

I still have that one; I spent many, many hours with that game.

[Grey Wolf]

What's fun is the Death's Head with the arms level turned all the way up...  
I've actually had this game for around 4 yrs.
And the new question is: Scorch claims to be the mother of all games. Who's the father?

Awesome! Anyone remember the old game Scarab of Ra? It was for the Mac, and I want to play it, but dont have a Mac.   Anyone know where I can find a emulator of some sort? Thanks, and sorry for changing the topic. Thanks again!  

[Dranon]

I first played that game nearly 7 years ago.  Was the third computer game i ever played (after Dune 2 and Civilization).  I still like to play it every once in a while.

[Turnsky]

you have no idea how much class time was spent playing eachother with that.

LOL, same here.

 

Dune 2

Another of my old favorites. I spent a lot of time with this one as well.

*sigh of reminicing*

Dune 2, Scorched Earth, Cmdr. Keen, Duke Nukem, Jazz Jackrabbit, C&C, Colonization, SimCity 2000, Tyrian, Transport Tycoon, TIE Fighter... *sigh* Ahh, the good ol' days of 640x480 at the maximum...

You just named many of my favorites right there. These, along with Doom, Descent, Raptor and a few others, made me a very happy gamer back in the old days.

Get a slowy downy tool thingy. Like CPU-Killer.

For some reason I owned the first ever commercially available CD-drive yet there were no games or programs on CD at the time. Stupid huh?

And on the subject of old games:
Doom, Raptor, Duke Nukem, Keen, Privateer, Elite, C&C, Lemmings, Leisure Suit Larry. And the hard-drive killer (at a hefty 92mb back in 1992 (?)) Macrocosm.

But the four (well 5) bestest old games in all existence:
Rex Nebular And The Alien Gender Benders (naked ladies and plenty of 'em)
Monkey Island (1+2)
The Dig (Excellent Lucas Art game)
Wolfenstein 3D (the God of all FPS's. Killin' Nazis while they're takin' a piss)

Search for abandon-warez on pretty much any search engine and you'll get all sorts of wierd old games. Like ones that were made when only text was used for games, ones that make Pong look state of the art.

[Stryke 9]

The Dig????    

Ah well, how the correct answer was:

1. (indeterminate- would be Syndicate if Syndicate had a level editor)
2. Syndicate
3. Earth 2150 (well... it's oldish now)
4. Master of Orion
5. (I forget the name... some old text-based game I found where you died almost instantly... that or SimCity/SimEarth)

I'd have posted that but I think I'd rather keep my knee-caps.

The Last Half Of Darkness was F'ing excellent. Txt based. If anyone comes across A Night With Troi, give me shout   .
