Favourite video games from the past

Megadrive- Sonic and Sonic 2
Pc- MoH allied assault ,silent hunter 2, IL-2 sturmovik, bf1942 (first multiplayer game, i spent way too many hours on that one)

IL2 Sturmovik is brilliant – but refuses to run for more than 5 minutes on my win 7 machine, it’s sequel is technically great but lacking in the campaign/planes department.

Phantasy Star on the Sega Master System, a game completed 3 times due to battery backup failure.

One from the BBC B where you were in a massive haunted house of many rooms all filled with odd moving pixellated shite, early platform game. Any suggestions?

Not really that long ago I know, but..

This article is worth reading if you had a Speccy or C64. There are a few quotes from ZZAP and Crash magazine journalists. Really brought back memories. I still have my rubber keyboard Speccy 48k in working order. Wish I still had my Amiga 500.

Eurogamer Digital Foundry Speccy vs C64

Repton
And Sensible Soccer, as above.

Also, there was one where you were some kind of wizard, and you could change into animals. You had a limited number of changes per level, and basically each level consisted of changing into appropriate animals – so a cat to jump up, a baboon to climb a rope, and so on.
No idea what it was called.

Tanks, too.

I was chatting to Julian Rignall on Twitter the other day. In’t the Internet brilliant?

Chuckie Egg! Why has no one mentioned Chuckie Egg?

Just read through that whilst eating tea. Dinner. Whichever. Anyway. Really interesting read, thanks for posting.

A mate and I completed BB on the ST. Genuinely, no cheats or anything other than the lives and few credits it gives you. It took us months.

Ooh cool, it’s a wetwo weview of Tawget Wenegade. Shame he’s wubbish at it.

Used to love playing Gauntlet when I was a lad. Epic multiplayer in its day. How times change.

Hehe, that’s quite fascinating, even though I never played the game.

Elite, end of thread

Hired Guns on the Amiga

My favourite game ever

That’s quite a feat, Pyjamarama was a swine of a game to complete.

I had a walkthrough, does it still count?

edit: thanks for the link, will be playing that again, cheers 🙂

+1 for Chuckie Egg if only for the sounds

Turbo Esprit on the spectrum – the first game I can recall where you could ignore the goal and the time pressure and just go and have a muck about in the game world instead

Reading this lot back there’s so many games I’ve played and forgotten about.

Honorable mentions to Silent Hill (the original), Half Life 2, Hunchback, Tony Hawks Pro Skater (1, 2 and 3), Rogue Spear, Metal Gear Solid 2, Colin McRae’s and Thrill Kill (!)
