Old School Games you used to love

The Hobbit (text adventure)

You are in a comfortable, tunnel-like hall.

There is a green door at one end.

GANDALF enters

> Fuck Gandalf

You cannot Fuck Gandalf

> Kill Gandalf

Gandalf attacks you with his staff

You are dead
 
If your game is from the 90s, it isn't properly old school. If it is on the Amiga or Atari ST then it DEFINITELY isn't properly old school. I remember when 16 bit machines represented the impossible dream of next generation awesomeness.

meh meh and meh.


This any better then?

I disagree

I regard Amiga's and ST's as old school

it's from over half my life ago

My mate did the art for the UK cabinets for that game. :cool:

Worked for a firm that bought the software rights for games off japaneese companies and then build british machines to play them on. Probably the best job he had until they laid him off for taking the piss a bit too much. Which was hard to do cause they had a rubbish work ethic in the firm to begin with.
 
Not oldskool. Scaling sprites (from Space Harrier onwards) represented the begining of the 16bit era (the arcade machines were all 16bit)...old skool proper is 8-bit, so even including Amiga games here is a bit :hmm:

My appologies.

Can I appease you by offering up Pacman and Mrs Pacman?

or Galaxians perchance?
 
Not saying it wasn't a great game, tho.

My fave of all that era of Sega arcade machines was Out Run...

If you went right right right continually with one left towards the end then the course was easiest.

Everyone in the pub used the same route.
 
Right. I'm off to play Secret of Monkey Island 2 over lunch via SCUMMVM on my Nintendo DS. Those of you who think that 16-bit was old school may think that I am kicking it old school.
 
Aaahhhh syndicate *looks off into the distance whistfully*...

... just leave it on the management page for a day and you've got loads of cash ;):D

What a great game that was!
 
in fairness I had a souped up with poer ups like longer paddle, more than one ball etc. It had an oriental theme. Dragon i think it was called. Atari 2600 (shit console that was)
