"Old School" PC Games

I've got a bunch(300+) of Nintendo (original), SNES, and Genesis games on my mac. they are alot of fun. Sometimes I wonder why those games were so challenging when I was younger.

 

Do they have Duke Nukem?

 

I can't tell you how many hours I've spent playing Duke Nukem. A classic.

You can go to www.midway.com and play a lot of their old arcade games for free. The original Spy Hunter, Joust, Defender, and quite a few others. The link is on the home page on the left side.

 

I came here to kick @55 and chew bubblegum... But i'm all out of bubblegum.


someone make that their sig

 

I spent a lot of hours playing Jumpman, Epyx Summer Games and Epyx Winter Games on my C64. Still have them downstairs, I should fire it up sometime.

 

Jumpman!!!

 

Choplifter! I need Choplifter! Preferably a version that does not require an Apple IIc.

 

Donkey Kong owns.

 

Hell yeah! I've got an original coin-op arcade game. That was back when Mario was called "Jumpman"

 

Some memories on the C64: 'Raid Over Moscow', 'Apocalypse', and 'Ghostbusters'. Ah, the good ol' days of 1541 drives, with Epyx Fast Loader or Warp Speed cartridges, and 300bps modems (manual hand dial). You know, I actually had a program called '1541 Music' that played 'Daisey' by vibrating the drives head at different speeds. Probably wasn't the best for the drive, but it sure was cool. The C-64 is still the biggest brand selling computer ever, to this day.

 

That rocks! I want to party with you.

 

it may be a newer game than those, but Starcraft is one of the greates PC games of all time. it sucks they havent made a second one yet.

 

Does anyone have access to the old Indy 500 PC game? It's over 10 years old now.

 

I had it on floppy disk, that game was so bad ass for it's time. (1990?)

 

This game is greatness. http://www.cgarchive.com/Game.php?view=7

 

Duke Nukem is definitely a classic. I remember if you pressed shift and one of the "F" keys he would say some hillarious quote... "You're an inspiration for birth control" and "Hail to the king baby!".

BTW, Anyone remember how every "Old School" game back in the days had to be "setup" through DOS? Sound Blaster 16 was my audio card....Sooo ancient.

 

Which was a direct rip-off of Bruce Campbell's character "Ash" from the Evil Dead movie series.

 

heh heh.

That is classic!!! Price = $74k. I'll take 2!

 

I thought Duke Nukem was a mid-90's Windows 95 game. DN and Tomb Raider no.1 were on the shelves when I bought my first-ever PC in Dec. '96.

 

Choplifter Ruled! I also loved Escape from Castle Wolfenstein for Apple II plus.

There was a more modern version of choplifter where the map would change after each victory, and you could buy tanks and soldiers and stuff to capture buildings along your axis of advance.

Also, there was a game called Dr. Goodnight or something like that that used a decoder at the end to help you save the world from a doomsday device. Anyone remember?????

 

i remeber playing police quest, except I as too young to really know what to do. I knew how to drive around though lol!
