It was basically an awesome fighting game where you fought on a 3D plane, throwing fireballs and shit of varying strengths at eacother. It was so fun.

pretty much just a really awesome, gory fighting game that had a very strange sense of humor and employed some interesting game play that i don't think has been seen since in a fighting game. for instance: the ability to literally blow the limbs off your opponent. it wasn't easy to do but if you could hit them just right without killing them you could, if you were lucky, take off one or both their arms. i think you could even take off heads but it probably resulted in death.

I loved that game about 8 years ago, I played it constantly, mostly the sims though, I kept getting stuck on the missions (couldn't get past the first one because I kept picking up the wrong crate for shipping). I was a real star wars nerd around then.

Legend of Faerghail.
It is an RPG from 1990 that was along the same lines as the original Bard's Tale I and II, except a bit more complex and a bit better graphically. Among the cool things were a rank-based fighting engine (ie: melee up front, ranged and magic up the back) and people could change where they were situated in mid-battle, battle animations (which were good for their time) and the ability to let the party simulate an attack round (which was especially helpful vs low-level enemies, as they'd just kill the fuck out of them). There was also a rather large and wide array of spells in comparison to most games around at that time, as they kind of ripped off DnD a little, if I remember rightly.
Another especially interesting thing was that there were a number of different languages to learn. If a character in your party knew enough of a monster's language they could talk to it and sometimes convince it to leave you alone. This was especially true for wild animals, as they didn't really want to attack you, they just wanted you to go away.
For a good review of the game, check this page out: http://amigareviews.classicgaming.gamespy.com/legendfa.htm

That game was one of the most ludicrously gory, over the top and fun things I ever played. My favorite ludicrous gib was the flying eyeball.

KKND Crossfire

Me and my friend used to play this all the time. We only had a copied version though and it was a bit sketchy and eventually got scratched out of existence. Was still an ace game though.

SYNDICATE
Mmm cyberpunk.
FUCK YES.
I used to play the original of this on the Amiga. It was fucking badass. This game could really do with a re-make. It would be completely fucking awesome. Apparently Molyneux would like to do a remake, but considers it unlikely due to licensing issues :(
-
Holy shit, Muteki. I played that when I was a kid and wondered and wondered for forever what it was called and could never find anything about it until you just posted that. Bless you.

It's on the Virtual Console, if you have a Wii.

The Guardian Legend. I could talk about this game for hours.

Mischief Makers was awesome!
man, i used to love that fucking game.
-
Yes, anything by Treasure.
I think I'm a bit in the minority because I prefer Headdy to Gunstar Heroes.
Also, Light Crusader was doing the Symphony of the Night-style gameplay even before SOTN (only in 3D, so it has its moments of frustration due to the isometric viewpoint). It's amusing considering their crowning achievement while still a part of Konami was Super Castlevania IV.

If you have an emulator for NES, i suggest you get on this immediately.

I think it's slightly sad and distressing that I have absolutely no knowledge of any of these games except Mario....

Of the games listed, I own Lockon, SMB3, I76, Rise of the Triad, EVO and Syndicate Wars. I don't own X Wing Alliance, but I've played and owned all of its predecessors.

Man... I heard that tie fighter was pretty much the best star wars game ever, but by the time I had heard of it and connected it with X-wing Alliance, it was old, I doubt I could find any of them anymore.
All these great games, and I know there is no way in hell I am going to ever play all the games I should play.
-
I've always considered the lack of new X-Wing/Tie Fighter games rather inexplicable. Too bad the pc market isn't what it used to be, because it'd be awesome to dust off a joystick and blow up imperials/rebels the ol' fashioned way again rather than just fumbling through another railshooter. Not that there's anything wrong with railshooters, mind you-- I enjoyed Star Fox as much as the next guy-- but I'd kill for another X-Wing game, since it split the difference between arcade style and simulationist offerings so well.
-
Vectorman
They tried reviving it, but people didn't like the look of it and felt it was too derivative of Metroid Prime and Halo.
Still, I'm mostly with you.

KKND Crossfire

Yeah, it was pretty beast, and this is from a guy that pretty much refuses to play RTS's.
The original KKND was also good.
Also, the originaly Duke Nukem sidecrollers were awesome when I was seven.

I remember it was a fun arcade/platformer. I'm not surprised people didn't like the idea of it trying to suckle on the FSP-Teet.

When I read this post I went off to look for someone to quote about the rumblings I thought I'd heard about the wii getting a new rogue squadron game. Turns out that Factor Five have pretty much said they're not doing anything for the wii, so no, there won't be a rogue squadron game for wii.
That sucks.

sure 99 wasnt that long ago (fucking 10 years nevermind long enough) but this was an awesome pc rpg and i actually just downloaded an iso again to play through it, lots of fun to be had here, and maybe aside from dialogue is quite original.
-
I actually liked the original Syndicate. It had massive corporations fighting it out worldwide.
Syndicate Wars was a global syndicate that couldn't work with itself vs a church group that didn't start with the resources to commit.
Rogue, ADOM & more recently Incursion are games I'd like to put up. But maybe they're not really that cool.

Does anyone else remember this incredible auto-vigilante simulator from Activision in 1997? It was the most stylish game you have ever played. You drove awesome American muscle cars and customised them to crush assorted road-dwelling baddies. It was stylised to look like a 70s road movie. You played Groove Champion, out to avenge your sister's murder with her old companion Taurus. It was fucking amazing! There were two sequels that weren't nearly as good. I wish someone would make an updated version of this incredible game!
Yes! I remember playing this game with my cousin. It was sooo much fun. I would love to see a remake.

Apparently it was called Interstate 76 but is listed under GameTap as Groove Champion.

Actually that reminds me of this game
(http://www.retrogames.it/immagini%5Cfoto%5Csega%5CMDprimalrage.jpg)
It was basically a straightforward beat 'em up game (ala Mortal Kombat or Streetfighter) with reasonable graphics for the 16 bit console era, much like (http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/killerinstinct_n64box.jpg)
but in this game the characters were dinosaurs (there was a Deionychus, Tyrannosaur, Allosaurus, Triceratops and some weird creature that looked like a Dilophasaurus with the neck of a Brachiosaur) and a giant ape/baboon monster. It was pretty fucking cool.
-
I have vague memories of primal rage. Those memories are telling me it was fucking brilliant.
-
In Primal Rage, one of the special attacks was farting. And beltching. And you could play vollyball with cavemen.
-
All I remember about Killer Instinct was the primitive, extremely low-quality voice sounds they used. The guy was yelling very intensely, but it sounded like those old TV shows in which someone is talking on the phone and you can hear the person on the other line but the speech is garbled. So when you start a fight, it will announce the fighters and come out as "WAMBERWAR VERWIW WOMMAWA! FIEE!"
-
Yeah i remember the farting. Man can't believe i've forgotten that game up until now. Might have to try and get my hands on it.
-
Kinda reminds me of this game:
(http://www.artdujeu.com/phpbuns/jeu/upload/3535.jpg)
A game where people transform into animals and beat the shit out of each other. SURELY THAT'S AN ORIGINAL IDEA, RIGHT GUYS? HAS ANYONE TRIED THAT YET?
The memories are fond.

I had almost forgotten about this great juvenile platformer.
-
In Primal Rage, one of the special attacks was farting. And beltching. And you could play vollyball with cavemen.
Fun fact: The arcade game originally had an acidic golden shower fatality which was subsequently pulled from the home release versions for being an acidic golden shower fatality.

I only played the original Bloody Roar, not its sequels. I have to admit, it was a pretty original idea.

BIO FREAKS
In the eighth grade I wrote a comic about this. I never drew it but I wrote it. It's lost to the mists of time now but I cast the guy on the cover as a sympathetic character, if memory serves. A tragic, noble hero. He was in love with one of the other Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. who then had her back snapped towards the end by the lead villain. She died in his arm/gun but he went on to lead the F.R.E.A.K.S. to their ultimate goal of liberation from their fighting slavery and equal rights to live among humankind, all in her memory. It's actually kind of remarkable that I wrote it all and only played the game twice.
Anyways, I don't think anyone's thought of either of these games in years, but I could be wrong.

Wait, what? Vectorman was a platformer. Was there a sequel planned?
Also, KI was awesome, just for the cheese factor. Infinite corner juggle with Saberwulf FTW.
There was an old NES game I don't quite remember the name of. Metal Storm maybe? You played as a robot that could switch gravity and walk on ceilings and whatnot. It was a fun game, but it got ridiculously hard on the later levels.

Before Blizzard made nothing but Diablo, Starcraft and Warcraft they made some amazing games for consoles.

Oh my god the lost vikings!!!! I used to play that game on my windows 95 or 98. Can't remember which.
-
So you know, they made a sequel which is fairly awesome. I know of no legal way to get it though, but were you of a mind to break the law via emulators, it would be available. Some place. I haven't searched in ... years... Wow. I wonder if I still have it?

Alien Legacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Legacy) by Sierra.
It combined a compelling storyline with Sim / Civ style play - lots of exploration and resource management and was downright difficult, but not in that "throw it down a few flights of stairs in frustration" way.
Never beat it, and have several times tried to get it to work in emulators and Virtual Machine with no luck.
In fact, would pay if someone could instruct me on how I could get it to run on my rig.

A nifty, psychedelic little shooter that was released on the Sega Master System. Back when I was a kid, this game was my favourite game of all time, but it was only after I found my Master System gathering dust back in 2000 that I sat down and finished the game.
I may be biased, but the Master System had some really incredible games.
-
[Skies of Arcadia]
Yes, that's right.
Dude, this game still has a bunch of fanboys. Also, it is amazing.
Also, there is a new game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyrie_of_the_Battlefield) coming out from the same director that has Vyse and Aika as playable characters. Not quite a spiritual sequel in the sense of say, Bioshock, but the closest we'll get to SoA2 for a while.

Seems neat. Unfortunately, it is for PS3, and I don't plan on owning one of those for a very long time. (too much money plus I have all the other current gen consoles to keep me occupied)
-
I do have the other two current gen consoles, but I spend a lot of money on video games anyway, and I do think I will eventually buy a PS3 for all the weird Japanese shit that publishers won't put on the 360 because nobody in Japan owns one.
Basically, ITT: I have yet another internal struggle with my poor impulse control and my desire to hold out for another price drop before buying a PS3.

Oh God, this stuff brings back memories.
I absolutely second
- Syndicate Wars
- Rise of the Triad (when I was 9 or 10, I once didn't come home from school and my distressed mom found me in the school's PC lab playing ROTT and loving it)
- Bloody Roar
- Lost Vikings (what an awesome game idea)
- KKND - I was and still am a firm believer in the Warcraft school of real-time strategy game controls. That said, I loved KKND. The customized units were totally useless but some of the units you could produce there, I still wish I had in other games. Especially the tank with the two ginormous machine guns. Also, great soundtrack.
My great games that nobody remembers:
* Captain Comic (from '89 or so, whopping 16 colors. Took me 3 years to finally finish it. But I had started playing it when I was 5 or 6).
* Sokoban
* Death Rally (had the shareware version for years and always tried to beat the faster cars with the biggest one I could buy. Hopeless.)
* Bleifuss - the German Need for Speed. Awesome controls and pretty cool tracks.
* Bifi Racer - a little promotional game that had quite a cult following.
* STUNTS! Whenever I talk to people whose first computer game was NFSU or Warcraft III or even Half-Life, they look at me like I'm a strung-out hippie talking about the glory days when I tell them that a great game didn't and doesn't need great graphics. I weep when they don't understand.
-
I know Syndicate Wars was 3d, but why do people prefer it to the original?
-
I remember Captain Comic. Well, I remember that it existed, I remember it was there in the explorer-y thing that I think Norton Commander let us have rather than just the dos command line. I remember I kept trying to play it but something was wrong and it never started, so I always went back to Crystal Caves instead.
-
It was a very basic jump 'n run. Ran on our old 286 with 640k of RAM and 8 MHz processing power (12 if you pressed the Turbo button!).
8 levels, collecting treasures, picking up power-ups that made your gun better and not being able to save. If you played it, you played it in one sitting.
-
There was a strategy game I really liked that one of my brothers friends let me borrow and play way back, but I can't for the life of me remember the name. So in that way not even I remember it. There were several factions in it though I remember, and one of them were like beasts, and in that you started out with like a single beast tamer who basically summoned all of the other units, who in turn would get more advanced tamers who could summon more powerful creatures, there weren't any buildings or structures for them, and I thought that it was really original. There were at least two human factions, one your basic medieval style and the other a sort of seafaring group that had a lot of archery. You gained resources by capturing lodestones or something like that, and I just really liked the gameplay for some reason. Its probably a pretty old game and the graphics were 2D.
In fact if anybody could help me out with the name maybe I could track down a copy of it somewhere, would like to have a little nostalgic trip to add on to me rebuying Diablo II.
-
I can't believe I forgot this one. I always forget it when listing my favorite games of all time, but this is definitely one of them.
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c213/hey_there_fatty/Jade_Cocoon.jpg)
It is a monster-catching themed RPG, with a great story and really fun combat. The main thing though is that it had a monster-fusion system
(often imitated, such as in the Shin Megami Tensei games) that was really great, and to this day I don't think that system has been topped in an RPG.
Also it really upset me when the sequel sucked.

The Oregon Trail
Fuck Oregon Trail. I was playing it last week on Virtual Apple (http://www.virtualapple.org/oregontraildisk.html) to relive the glory days of 3rd grade when I was the best kid in class at that game, and you know what happened? I did my usual thing: I started out as early as possible as a farmer, spent all my money but $20 (ferry & emergency money) on spare parts, clothes, oxen and bullets and spent a solid month and a half hunting for food while subsisting on starvation level rations. Emboldened by my huge pantry, I cranked up the meal size and proceeded to make great time. That's about when my fucking wagon burst into flames.

That's half the fun! God, sometimes I used to name every person in the wagon after someone I hated in real life and then just run the fucker into the ground... you know, 10 oxen but nothing else and then just hurtle forward at a grueling pace until everyone died.
Good times, good times.

Creatures eh? Well, the company that created that game died, and recently another company bought all of the games and the IP of it, and have for like the past two years done absolutely nothing with it. The interesting thing is, there's still a rabid fan base surrounding the games, breeding norns, making new content, and I believe the website sells all of the games in the series in a pack on their website, or you could check e-bay, amazon, there's used copies somewhere I'm sure.

"MAN ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BUSHIDO BLADE?!?!"
Yeah... One hit kills with massive swords. Wonderful wonderful game.

Yep, I played Bushido Blade.
Actually I bought a Playstation because of the game. I went over to a friends house and he was playing it. After getting slaughtered all night I went out and bought the console and the game.
I loved the one shot kills.

(sorry if this is considered necro)
I just read through the thread and was amazed to find no mention of the epic game Flashback (though there are a lot of dead links now, so maybe it was). I remember playing that and Civ I (I think) on my older brother's Amiga for hours and hours at a time. Hell, that may be what nerdified me. Anyway, great game! I should pick it up again, I'm sure I'd still remember the tricks... and that's rather sad now that I think about it.
I don't know if it's just nostalgia or what, but seems to me that today's games don't possess a tenth of the quality of these games of old. Then again, perhaps I'm just a jaded gamer.
Also, the original Tie Fighter thumps all other Star Wars games, past & present. Hard!

The best RTS before Supreme Commander in terms of game mechanics. Yes, the mechanics were better than Starcraft mechanics.
My most memorable moment of playing this was playing a LAN game that lasted more than 3 hours, because of the fact that resource production is infinite in the game. It was generally easier to mod than StarCraft, had more epic battles, and the use of terrain was the smartest shit I'd ever heard of. It's disappointing that very few RTS games out there learn from the Supreme Commander/Total Annihilation series, because after I played it no RTS ever felt as complex and entertaining afterwards in terms of gameplay.
Not the most creative story though. =P
-
(http://lbawin.akoonet.com/Images/LBA.jpg)
YES! oh god damn, yes, how could I forget. And number two as well of course. The scenery, the music, the game play and the characters. All so beautiful. And since it's not available for sale anywhere anymore, and there will be no more games, you can download it for free without any guilt from the Internets!
-
I don't know if anyone really remembers this game, no one I know ever knows what I'm talking about it, when I discuss it. It's not particularly old, ten years. It's pretty ancient in video game time, I guess.

That's right, it was pretty much "Two sides went to war over loading everyone's brains into computers, but they've been fighting for so long that it hardly matters."

I'll give someone a cookie if they can find me a copy of Theme Park for the PC. a game that was released in '95, made by bullfrog studios. note, not Sim Theme Park, just Theme Park. I can't even find screenshots of it.

My first online game I ever played was this cute little game called HoverRace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HoverRace), released in '96 it actually NEEDED Win95 to play, which was odd since way more visually advanced games just ran in DOS anyway.

Hey since this thread's been bumped I've got to ask.
Earlier I posted D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(video_game)) and Jetpack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpack_(computer_game)). Does anybody remember these games? They were sooooo good. Get them, get them now. (jetpack's freeware now.)

I first played The Longest Journey when I was 12. I didn't know what the fuck was going on then, and now I'm still not entirely sure, but I DO know I like it a lot.
The sequel was pretty good, but I didn't like it as much as the first.
-
Fight you, they're both awesome!
-
Man, don't bring up The Longest Journey, it just reminds me that the PC adventure game genre is completely dead except for homebrews (which are often great, don't get me wrong, *cough*Yahtzee*cough*, but they also tend to be insanely short, unlike Thee Games of Yore like your basic TLJ.
-
TLJ was great. Dreamfall was good, too, but too short, and I'm not entirely sure they want to make a third one. It also lacked some of the atmosphere I liked about TLJ.
Anyone remember the Tex Murphy games? I loved those, ever since Mean Streets.
-
They're making the third episodic, supposedly. There hasn't been a whole lot of news outside of that, though.
-
I enjoyed Gabriel Knight 2 more than TLJ.
It might just be the absurd Tim Curry voice acting though.
But I also thought it had better puzzles.
-
I didn't play TLJ for the puzzles. Lateral thinking puzzles aren't as interesting as adventure game designers think they are. I played it for the story, which is definitely up there in terms of best game stories ever told.
-
I enjoyed all of the Gabriel Knight's better than most games period. It just seems like it's a bit unfair to compare it to the GK franchise.
-
I tried playing TLJ but was bored sick by the site controls and the lack of being fun. I never did get into the Gabriel Knight games, but I remember seeing them ALOT when I was younger.

Maniac Mansion is such a fucking awesome game dude! I could never beat it, all of the characters would either die or get trapped in the dungeon and game over. Pretty good graphics for its time though.
-
i was never able to beat Maniac Mansion either. That game just keeps kicking my ass. i fully plan on beating it before i die. It is one of my favorite games, besides Earthbound and Chronotrigger.
-
Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, and Maniac Mansion. Ah yes, the Holy Trinity of games that I find bizarre in their overrated-ness.
All were good games, but... Earthbound had a silly story and regular old gameplay, Chrono Trigger was great fun but not even nearly as good to me as FF4 or Secret of Mana, and Maniac Mansion is horribly clunky and dull compared to pretty much every other point and click adventure game from the same time period.
Back on topic: (http://www.waitingforgo.com/legend/eric/eric.bmp)
Legend games were awesome in general, but this one was aces. It's easy to find it on abandonware sites and should run fine in XP.
-
sweet, I gotta look that up. And really, I was pretty young(I'm 20 now) back when Maniac mansion was new and me and my siblings didn't really have a whole lot of games, this was before I actually became a "gamer". I'll look up Eric the unready, but give me some other suggestions. I honestly didn't think anyone remembered Maniac Mansion at all and since most of my peers definitely do not I was just pleasantly surprised to know I'm not the only person whose ever played it. Now I'm going to download and beat it.

If you like Maniac Mansion, dig up the Space Quest games, possibly Police and King's Quest (though I never cared for either of those).

These games were SICK!! For the PC, but i spent many hours of my life playing them both. i was pretty good at them.
As a little nerdling, Star Wars RULED my life. i even went so far as to have a recurring dream, that i had a purple lightsaber
and i married Luke Skywalker. Jebus, i cannot believe i just admitted that...
But while i am on the subject of PC games that i totally spent too many hours of life on, that make me really lame:

"By Lord British and Chuckles"
-
Ironically, Lord British would end up being so batshit insane that even "Chuckles" would be at best a mildly appropriate name for him.
Actually, the very act of clinging to a name as retarded as "Lord British" (spoiler alert: HE'S NOT EVEN BRITISH!) is probably grounds for clinical insanity.
As are the design choices in many of the Ultima games.

Hexen was so awesome.
