Old Video Games

Woohoo, someone who knows his classic games! I prefer Beyond Dark Castle on the Amiga though :slight_smile: Such classically comical games, I cry a little when I think that it is more than 20 years ago.

Absolutely brilliance. If I had to choose between the best side scrolling shoot em up Iā€™d be stuck between choosing Super Metroid or Turrican 2 (Amiga version).

A video game is a computer game where you can interact with the story/plot :wink: ;D

Not all video games have story/plot. Some just ask you to shoot everything seen.

Or just eat dots, ghosts, fruit, spaceships, and keys. :point:

Or just pick some text and see what interesting pictures that you get ;D

If only I didnā€™t quote you, I wont see the link.

I didnā€™t get a chance to play many older games, the oldest Iā€™ve ever played is the original pitfall, heh. I own, personally, an NES, SNES, N64, and the newer two (GameCube and Wii) I still prefer to go back and play SMW when I just feel like playing a game, since I got my first ā€˜oldā€™ console at 8-9. My favorite games are all older than I am, except a handful of newer games, which are sequels to games that are older than I am. Is that wierd at all, for some of the ā€˜youngerā€™ (than 20) members?

H.E.R.O
River Raid
Pitfall

Best ever!

There are ā€œToyā€ Games, ā€œArtā€ Games and ā€œCinematicā€ Games

I used to have an Amiga when I was six years old. But it didnā€™t survive. Got a new one with age 10. My favourite games were:

Wicked
Personal Nightmare

I played them some Months ago and even tried to rebuild Wicked to learn about game programming.
Playing these games was really fun! Especially Personal Nightmare is one of my most loved games.

At the moment i am mostly playing XCOM: Ufo Defense or XCOM: Terror From The Deep. These are not too old but still classics.

A few related topics:

Nintendo did a survey asking players about the importance of different aspects of a video game. They found out that the story wasnā€™t nearly as important as they thought and focused more time in their new Paper Mario game on game play with that idea in mind. (Thereā€™s a also video on the Nintendo website I havenā€™t watched and donā€™t know the URL of.)

A blogger talks about score systems in old video games: why they get ignored in some games and how they form a risk/reward system. (Related to what I said about the Mario series lack of adjustable difficulty settings.) Features Mario and Tetris plus others. 1 2

Street Fighter X Mega Man free official games will be released Dec 17th.

Looking for story in a Mario game is like watching a porno for the plot.

It can be equally hilarious too. ;D

Hey! some porn, game or film, have plot too!

Yes, consider the painfully poor Flesh Gordon and Flesh Gordon 2 for example. Actually donā€™t. Donā€™t ever consider them.

Cas :slight_smile:

I just watched the trailer for that and it is perhaps the most amazing thing I have ever seen. :persecutioncomplex:

Speaking of pornoā€¦ how did Browser Jr. Come into existance? Browser did have Peach captured in his castle several timesā€¦

CHILDHOOD RUINED, YOU BASTARD! :expressionless:

I wondered what kind of reaction that would get! ;D ;D

Peach isnā€™t actually getting captured. Thatā€™s just a cover story. I mean really, a castle would be more secure than that. Sheā€™s really having an affair.
