REDGTT Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Guys I dont know ify ou feel like me but I believe that playing earlier games were so more special than games these days. games these days are good but games of yesteryear were fantastic and left an ever lasting impressions. Games like Leisure Suit Larry series. captain Comic Commander Keen Duke Nukem Alone in the dark one. Out of This world. Even other games not from pcs. Kungfu Master Wonderboy Double Dragon Shinobi Streetfighter Ninja Turtles Dragon Ninja Ghouls and Ghost and Ghost and Goblins So many classics.

REDGTT Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 The Original f1 GP i remember was in EGA. Its was called GPEGA. Good game too it had the Honda f1 with a 1.5 litre 1500hp engine. Remember when VGa fist came out? It was like wow! and then Super VGA? It was like double wow. And these days VGA has been forgotten and its all talk about geforce etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/292-dos-games-of-yesteryear/#findComment-9994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDGTT Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 Oh man Digger was the bomb! It was played in CGA for me and if you press f1 you can shoot one shot per life. heheheh. Street Rod is da bomb too man. For you guys who dont know what street rod is then you should check it out. Old school American cars setup beautifully in the 60s and you do up your car including buying supercharger or better carbie etc and then drag people that you m eet at the local burger joint.s Its awesome!!!!

REDGTT Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 Double Dragon2 is one of my favourites. That game was one of the first fighting games to introduce the helicopter kick! Damn awesome game and now Jimmy and Bill Lee instead of wearing red and blue they wore silver and dark grey. they looked awesome. Testdrive was cool too when choosing the cars. Do any of you guys remember the little plane game called sopwith on PC? Larry has got to be the best though. Get laid with prostitute and dont use a condom and your cock explodes.hehehehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/292-dos-games-of-yesteryear/#findComment-9999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDGTT Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 Nah could never beat the king. The bastard and his awesome black looking corvette. In Street Rod 2 the Kings car looked even better. What about the aqua duct race like gease lighting? My girfriends bro is really good at that and made a ton of money hehehe. My favorite car is the mighty Charger. it looks so damn hot!. Hey nikil what about the game that everybody had on their pc Alley Cat?

REDGTT Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 Yeah firepower rock nikil! two players in tanks in topview versing each other was awesome!!! You can lay mines or just blow them up. Good trick was to lay mines right outside their base so as soon as they die and start agin they cant leave the base or they will blow up.hehehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/292-dos-games-of-yesteryear/#findComment-10003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birty Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Check out www.classic-trash.com and/or Search for abandon ware(z) I went through this stage a while ago, still havn't found a good working version of LSL. Love the old Police Quest though, god those were the days. They make RPG's look poor.

REDGTT Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 I was back in highschool during the 286 and 386 days etc. Pcs were just getting started and anything new was like a wow to me. I remember the days when my friend bought wing commander and we thought this was gods gift to us. I was trading master system games with my friends too.

REDGTT Posted May 22, 2002 Author Share Posted May 22, 2002 Matboy I love striker! It was one of my favourite too. I had it in CGA . As I had a IBM pc jr with no HD and only running at 4.7 mhz. I loved Sopwith! And castle was cool too. You go too drifferent rooms on an adventure and collect things and fight monsters. That game was well ahead of its time!
