This brings back memories of playing Marathon in Jr. High.. that game was revolutionary for it's time.

I got bored of FF7 after about 20 mins of playing it

FF3 could be my favourite game ever

You'll be suprised how many people who have played that game have admitted to crying because of the sad bits of the story line

I agree 100%. Man, I sure logged a whole lot of hours in that game. I also second the sentiment for X-Wing and TIE Fighter.

You call that old school, pup? This was the best keyboard ruining game back in the day (and only game available really). Second only to my Intellivision. The last event, the 1500 meter race, was next to impossible to win.

There are several games that I spent a helluva lot of time on :

By Sierra:

The PoliceQuest Series
The SpaceQuest Series
The KingsQuest Series
The LeisureSuit Larry Series

A Very Early RPG/Adventure game :

Rogue (MS-DOS)

One of the first games I played on a console :

Pitfall (Atari)



One of my favourite games was Final Fanatsy VII, and VIII was pretty good too!!!

Starcraft? Old school? I think you meant Dune 2, the game that basically started the RTS craze and set the standard, the game from which every other RTS was fashioned.

Dune 2 is the king of all RTS games. Sure the interface is a bit dated now, but it's still a monster of a game. It was revolutionary. A couple of months ago my friends and I tried LANning with this new RTS game, I forget the name of it it was so crap. It took up 5 gigabytes of harddrive space and allowed you to do exactly the same things that you can do in other RTS games - build workers, build barracks / vehicle building, build units. Yawn. My friend had built some sort of super missile base within literally a few minutes of the game starting and was already bombarding my base with nuclear weapons from the other side of the map. I had only just built a vehicle plant. I quit and uninstalled it. Total time spent on my harddrive: 9 minutes. What a piece of [censored] game. Dune 2 pisses all over it and it was released 14 years ago.

Other old school favourites of mine include Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Wolfenstein 3D, Mean Streets (which later spawned the release of Under A Killing Moon), Gunship, X-wing / TIE Fighter, Syndicate, the Ultima series, and my absolute favourite game of all time, the best game ever created in the history of computer games... Starcontrol II.

I dunno about you guys... but every time I've gone back to replay my favourite old games, I have had an absolute blast. They have lost none of their lure as old as they are now. They are still awesome games. Starcontrol II in particular I bring out every once in a while and finish it all over again. The atmosphere and the storyline is like none other, certainly better than a lot of the trash you see released today.

Old school 4 eva.
