Going back to AVP2, actually having the option to delay chestbursting when you're in it was another golden moment for me ...especially after shredding his innards first.

I prefered the first AVP, even if it was bloody hard and the Predator was rubbish.

That skirmish map, marooned or something where you start by an EEV was the worst one..........sheer terror.

I finished Raptor again on Elite difficulty for all missions without cheats or workarounds!

Try a classic real time strategy, still popular online. Netstorm: Islands at war, you can dowload the latest version from this site: www.netstormhq.com

Speaking of old games, I'm visiting the original Legend of Zelda (via GBA port) for the first time.  The 3D games have me spoiled...this **** is hard.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Well, games were a lot harder back then. Ever heard of AVGN?

Nup.

Meddling around with Netstorm. Damn this is nostalgic.

AVGN, or the Angry Video Game Nerd, does reviews of old games. Sometimes, he just plays it bad to give himself an excuse to rant, but usually, the difficulty of the games he plays is genuinely insane.

I finished Lemmings 3D last night. The gameplay is very unique and well designed, but like Lemmings 2 it's let down by being too easy by the standards of the series. There were perhaps 10 levels that I actually had to think about.

Still need to complete Lemmings Revolution now. That game can be frustrating since it doesn't incorporate any of the interface improvements made in the earlier games, but it actually does provide a real challenge and is the closest to the original game among all the sequels.

Rcently I'm playing 1991 Prince of Persia

[Colonol Dekker]

Road rash 2 and Splatterhouse on the Megadrive. Also 2020 baseball on the Snes

I tried BioMenace last night. It works, but not as similar as it would on a real DOS computer.

[Angelus]

I'm playing atm, one of my all time favorites on PC: Shining Force a old Sega Mega Drive game.

Tyrian, FTW!

Played some Homeworld 2, with and without the PDS mod.

Great time, that mod, though it doesn't really do anything tactically new as compared to baseline Homeworld 2-- it's still just 'build a lot of big ships and fly them at the enemy.'

I was on the sixth-ish PDS dev team, and I lasted through until about the eighth. Went back to check on the site recently and was amused to see the few stragglers calling one of their number a 'veteran' when he'd only been around a year or two.

Shame that project went so bad so fast. They attracted a ton of great talent and then threw it away.

Here we go again...

I need a laptop mouse to play it properly on my Mac, but as of yet I don't have one, so it's just sitting in my Mac and taking up a little bit of free space.

The recent versions are still fun. TBH, I did have a lot more fun with the older 7.3.2 because of the fact that there were a lot more guns, and I had a bit more fun with version 6. Shame the AIs weren't fully done for those versions, though.

[Stormkeeper]

Been playing NetStorm and MechCommander 2.

I attacked an assault/heavy demi lance with a jump lance and fire lance of light and medium 'Mechs. I've probably never had a bigger high while playing MechCommander.

I get bummed out at what could have happened, though.

At one point, believe it or not, PDS had an SCP-quality team. There were talented original modelers, a killer fluff guy with amazing graphic design skills (Norsehound), and military members from all over the world contributing. And then Tel just threw it all away.

It could've been such a spectacular project without him. The versions since v7 have basically been working with the material that team (in its various iterations) produced.

Have you played Mechcommander 1? It's even better than 2.
