Anyone else still playing old/retro games?

)rStrangelove @ Feb. 12 2009,18:10)]Little off topic here, but Sony's The Agency will come very close to the style of the NOLF games. And no, no monthly costs.

Yeah, but as a MMO its purely MP. What I loved about NOLF was the weird single player story and the lovely characters.

NOLF had its moments, especially on the Winter Map with Skiidoos whilst playing that voluminous opera singer character ... made the opponets laugh too hard to defend themselves <span id='ME'><center>Mr Burns hums the Hummelflug</center></span>

Just reloaded the PSP´s battery, going to give Genesis/Mega Drive Soleil a whirl

I just started playing Trespasser (awesome game even though the graphics are raw... but you can enhance it significantly with mods) and Ghost Recon.

Trespasser cracks me up with its spazz hand

Bit late to the party here.

I still regularly play:

- Close Combat 5 (currently going through loads of mods; I replayed Gold Juno Sword a couple of times, finished Okinawa, and am now a couple of days into Stalingrad: Operation Circle)

Red Storm Rising Mod

I still play play the CC games although it has been a good while. They are always installed with CC2 being my favourite. Looking forward to its re-release.

It's still an amazing game

I recently got a new computer and decided to install some of the games with dusty CD cases before getting back into more modern games such as Arma, cod, gta, etc. just for nostalgia's sake (Thank god for Windows 7 compatibility modes!).

These are the ones I'm talking about:

• Star Wars Battlefront
• Total Immersion Racing

I'd like to know what other people used to play in their childhood (whether more recent or distant than mine ;))

These games really brought back some good memories, even though they only lasted a few days till I got bored of them again.

The gaming part of my childhood consisted mainly of driving games, especially the ones with elements of simulation in them (e.g. Juiced & TIR), but the odd large-scale fps crept in such as SW Battlefront and a bit of GTA, then I discovered Arma1.

I'm also interested in knowing what other people played right before Arma (or in some cases OFP, as it was called back then!)

That is all, pretty interested in any kind of response really, if you've ever had moments of reinstalling happiness and especially if you played any games I did!

R3con.

Need for Speed most wanted was released in 2005; Star Wars Battlefront in 2004. And you call them oldschool? Damn youngsters.

How about Doom, Steel Panthers, Duke Nukem 3D, Apache Longbow, Rainbox Six? :p

In this day and age, at least we can remember when the games that came from the big publishers were still decent, at least.

Also, Deus Ex and both System Shocks. Not as old school as your old school, but older than the original old school.

[W0lle 1050]

Oh yeah, Deus Ex and System Shock were pretty cool too back in the days. :)

Just my hardware sucked as I was playing them so never really enjoyed them. Maybe I still have the discs somewhere... but then there's the time problem :D

You call those oldschool??... Listen youngster when I started gaming it was just plinks and plonks for sound, no colour, no 3D, pictures were made up of ASCII symbols

and most games you had to type in yourself from a magazine [bASIC] or wait 50 million hours for it to load off tape.

This is oldschool kiddo

As regards FA18 Interceptor' date=' I remember the days of playing that to death on my Amiga through all the missions (loop the looping back onto the carrier was my favourite) while listening to Ultramagentic MC's first album over and over as the soundtrack to it, ah school days :)

DANG! That's a tasty lineup right there. These were all favorites of mine, especially Duke 3D. Okay, so I was only 7 when it came out, but my dad still let me play it!

[dmarkwick 261]

I still have all my old Spectrum equipments & softwares, as well as all my old Amiga equipments & softwares. In my old age I expect to be revisiting old favourites :)

Like:

Dungeon master.

Carrier Command.

Xenon 2.

etc.

[[aps]gnat 28]

Still have my old Vic20, C-64 and Amiga500 ..... sad hey ! LOL

God knows if they'll even work if I plug them in ( *thinks he might try this weekend* )

Today spotted (and briefly played) a 2 player Pub (table) game machine with 60 authentic arcade games (old style), and an up-right single player unit with over a 1000 authentic arcade games !! O.M.G.

Unfortunately $1,500 and $2,300 each :(

[luizsilveira 5]

WOW!

M1 tank platton, I had forgotten about that one for a long time! It did give me so many hours of very good entertainment a couple of decades ago.

The ones I still have and play are UFO:Enemy Unknown and Jagged Alliance. As a matter of fact, I just finished Jagged Alliance 2: Wildfire last year. IMO one of the very best games ever made. Hard as hell, but it's one of those that if you learn it well (and have time to play it properly and not reading walkthroughs) that's a top notch strategy (with hints of rpg) gaming experience.

[sanctuary 19]

Recently i have wasted again lot of time in Master of Magic that i played for so many years (and thanks to DOSBox could continue to play with my computer upgrades with time), mostly thanks to that unofficial patch that actually made the AI much more challenging and making lot of bugfixing.

Master of Magic is still one of the games that stand the test of time.

BTW as regards playing old games I created a thread about emulators here (Fairly sure most are aware of this anyway) its a few pages back now:
