I was going through my old game disk collection and came across a few favorite old games that completely engrossed me back in the day. Just wondering if anyone else has played these or if there are any others out there that you remember as being alot of fun.
-Master of Orion - turn based space strategy
-X-Com - turn based strategy
-X-Com 2 : Terror from the Deep - turn based strategy
Any old schoolers out here?

I have decided to produce and sell a strong alcoholic drink called "Responsibly".
That way everyone in the country can get wasted drinking Responsibly.
And all the other drinks makers will be advertising for me on their cans with the slogan "please drink Responsibly".
Probably will annoy the government as well.

Re: Any old schoolers out here?
I think I still have somewhere the original Doom on 3.5" disks.
I can't believe I spent so long playing a game that fits on to that small amount of space.
Then I went on to Doom 2.
Next it was Duke Nukem 3.
I then went through My Age of Empires period for many years.
Eventually found BF42 looking for some download demos.

Who remembers Strikeforce? - the UT mod from the turn of the century.
This was my first foray into online gaming.
My first game on a PC was original wolfenstein which came on a free floppy disk with a PC mag in 1994.
I got bf1942 as a christmas present from the outlaws. I guess that makes me some kind of reformed jingletard.

I remember playing Dungeons and Dragons on an Apple IIe using 5.25" floppy disc's because it had no hard drive. And if you think an Apple IIE was old technology, take a look at what Grimp and Tissue got when they first came out...
You've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Re: Any old schoolers out here?
I played many of those also in addition to the original Wizardry series collection, Zork, and a ton of other games. Back then my folks had purchased a 55" mistubishi TV and I had the Apple hooked up to that for gaming. It was pretty sweet. lol[JiF]KellysHero wrote:I remember playing Dungeons and Dragons on an Apple IIe using 5.25" floppy disc's because it had no hard drive.

Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
