Good 'ol days of 8 bit and 16 bit video games

"Is this an arcade remake, or a PC/Console game?"

Console remake, I played it on PS2. Its different from the original, of course. Full 3D, based on the same concept as the original (saving colonists, protecting stuff from alien invaders). I played the original many years ago and liked it then, I liked this one a lot to. A worthy succesor if I ever saw one.

some games are better left as classics... in my old college, they had table with screen underneathe the glass tabletop, and they had Galaga(sp?) and Pac-Man (they still do)

if I have to choose one, i'd say Q-bert. That was a brain teaser for me

Even though its a PC game and its only from the early 90s, I think it really deserves a remake.

The game was called Shadow President and it had about 256 colors and you basically had a map of the world and you could cut economic relations with countries, increase espionage spending, nuke, etc. The object was to stay in for 4 years or get reelected or whatever but I found myself getting assassinated or impeached whenever I tried to show Iraq and Russia who is boss by nuking them, then nuking England for complaining.

It was a DOS game and if anyone has ever played tell me about it.

Lol imagine a Lesure Suit Larry game done with the 3-d like Grim Fandango or the last Monkey Island. It would be classic.

COLINMAN

There is a kinda of a remake of Shadow President that came out this year, called Super Power.  It lets u play with any country and u can do terrorist attacks, sabbotage, etc. plus nukes, and all out war where u control the units in a kinda E-Z RTS system.

Golem Labs makes it.  Check out the overview of the game. The shit has hit the fan: All out nuclear warfare pic

Something like this:

I've too used to play on those, at this pizzaria, while eating pizza i'd be playing pac-man.

Anybody remember this game?

Time Traveler "hologram" game made by sega in the early 1990s. I remember it sucked big time.

Is it just me or is their knowledge of geography very limited? As far as I can see Yugoslavia is one country on the screenshot and the year is 1997. Hmm....

[EveronVetsAgainstTheWar 0]

I played the demo of the Super Power game. Boy did it suck.

Well the demo you're only limited to playing for the US, and that ain't fun to be the best. And back when the demo came out, there were 1000s of bugs still in the game, and the AI wasn't as refined as in the real game. For example, in the demo, I remember Mongolia attacking Columbia. Now after 3 patches, it's more refined to poor nations only attacking the neighbors next to them, not those around the world.

I think i'm going to buy it in the coming weeks, I passed when it first came out in April because of the bugs, but now it's alot more realistic and war isn't 100% certain.

Not the worlds most realistic game I would say :

[Duke_of_Ray 0]

Super Tecmo Bowl!

[Assault (CAN) 1]

Yeah, I know eh.

I think it was King's Quest 5. I remember when we upgraded our computer and that was one of the first games I played on it. I remember being awed by the amount of freedom of movement that I had. And just think of where we are now, I would have killed for something like OFP back then. Just think of how good things will be 5 or 10 years down the road. We will look back and laugh at OFP because we thought it was so advanced at the time.
