Oldschool PC games, post your faves!
Whn I say oldschool, I'm going pretty far back. Post your faves, and what you played them on (if you can remember)


Commodore 64:
Winter Games
Summer Games
Archon
Impossible Mission
GI joe
Stunt car Racer (or was it stunt car driver?)
Realms of Impossibility (I think that's what it was called)
Ultima 4
Ghostbusters
Star Trek (I think, I vaguely remember a trek game)
Transformers (that might have been on Amiga or somethign else)
Defender of the Crown (same)
Syndicate (amiga)
Xcom (amiga)
Elite (amiga)
Bard's Tale (amiga)



That's all I can think of for now, maybe some other posts will jog my memory

As far as I can remember, the oldest game I ever played on the PC was a game called "Mickey's ABCs" - it was a really terrible DOS game that was basically a power point slideshow with PC speaker sounds.

The first game that I remember enjoying was definitely Oregon Trail. I can't remember what the platform was called, but it used huge floppy disks.

Dungeon Master for the Amiga was my first 3D RPG and I thought it was amazing back then.

There was a game that came in boxes of Chex serial, Chex Quest or something like that. I remember playing that game a lot, and for a free FPS from a cereal box it was pretty effing fantastic.

Archon
M.U.L.E.

Atari 800

I actually think they should port M.U.L.E. to WiiWare and let Wii peeps play online.

Ahh yes... the days of the 5 & 1/4 inch floppys.

I played a couple of old games off of those.

Ladder(a game similar to the original Donkey Kong -- minus the gorilla trying to prevent you from getting to the top and the princess to rescue.)

Horse Race(you placed bets on which one of nine famous horses would win a race -- learned that in computer games, Seabiscuit sucks the big one.)

Alien(pretty much the same as Space Invaders)

All of these on a Kaypro(which was so old the only color available for the game graphics was green)
