If you ever want to sell that game let me know.

That was before they forced you to go online and start a second life. Instead of just playing a dame game

Sad, not one mention of Pokemon. Also Dragonball Z Budokai and PES 6.

can't find a legal copy anyware abandonware or otherwise
thought warcraft 3 was excellent but number 2 probably just pips it due to having more interesting strategy

I remember the human level where you are facing 3 orc enemy bases and if you don't rush and take at least one you can't win

I also liked the strategy of building farms in front of towers so the farms would take the hits while the towers took them out

I also liked the custom games which tended to be significantly harder. I couldn't get past fighting 3 enemies at the same time on custom if everyone started on the same landmass with one peon

pretty sure theres a free dos version somewhere.

I've got the game and the expansion pack, both with the original boxes in mint condition. Ditto with Warcraft 1 as well.

Gonna hang on to them for sure. Classic CD-ROM games like these might end up being worth a fair bit in 20 years time.

The early wire-frame versions of 'Elite' - designed for players willing to stick around, took so long to progress from one level to the next.

Matchday 2 on the 64, football in slow motion, seemed so good at the time.

And the previously mentioned International Karate.

Some on here probably think you mean Nintendo :lol:

Used to love playing Double Dragon as well but my favourite on that platform was Barbarian

Ahead of it's time.

Some of the racing games I played on PS1 remain some of the best racing games I ever played - Gran Turismo, F1 97, TOCA touring cars, Destruction Derby and Colin McRae rally, to name a few. The first Metal Gear Solid game was also brilliant, became a huge fanboy of the series after that.

Goldeneye on N64 is one of the all time great video games, played it just the other week. Near endless replay value.

Double dragon

Monkey Island!!!!

What a classic. A few years back I got that deluxe edition and then played them all through (except for the 3d MI4).
The 5 part series from tell tale games was good too.

So, my life was completed late last week, if some of you haven't heard of this you're going to love me.

I picked up a Rasberry Pi 3 (https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/), basically a mini computer, so many things you can do with it. Anyway the main reason I wanted one of these is because you can turn it into an all in one old school gaming console, by installing RetroPie.

I purchased this pack from eBay

Comes with two USB SNES controllers, Micro SD card, all the cables, a case for the Pi, etc. it is loaded with RetroPie, which is the gaming console project. All you need to do is download the roms (the games), find some info online on how to load them on there and away you go. Instructions on how to set it up can be found with a quick google search as well.

I've literally got about 10,000 games loaded, SNES, N64, PS1, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, Gameboy Colour, etc. There's a bloke on Facebook selling this with all the games pre-loaded but it's about $70 more.

Didn't take me too long to figure out how to set it up myself and I'm good with computers but no expert.

Was smashing SNES games late Friday night, brought back my childhood!

That looks awesome - Street fighter 2 and mortal combat 2 on Snes destroyed so many of my childhood hours.

Absolutely loved F1 97 and TOCA.
I think as far back as 2008, I still went on '97 every pre season, and updated all the drivers names. Tyrrell would be Honda, Jordan would be Force India, etc. Such a fun game.

F197 was fantastic.

IIRC if somebody spun, and you hit them side-on, the car would literally snap in two. :lol: Or was that '98? :?

Crash Bandicoot games, especially crash tag team racing.

Hilarious watching back and seeing how much of a murderous asshole Crash Bandicoot was though lmao.

Jak and Daxter 2 was an all time favorite.

Oh my God that looks like the greatest game ever made!!!!!

Think that was '98. 99% of the time if you hit a car side-on after they spun, either you or them received a black/white diagonal flag for dangerous driving :lol: Just played it again the other day, used the "Billy Bonus" cheat and did a few laps of the mirrored Adelaide circuit. Brilliant.

Edited by Chris_AUFC: 29/4/2016 05:51:40 PM

I don't remember the cars snapping in half. I didn't play '98 much because my older brother somehow damaged the disc. I remember '99 though because it had the safety car, that was about the only good thing about it. And the new track they brought in at Malaysia that year.

I loved those cheats though! Adelaide, and the old timey one was the best

Wut? :lol:

Some of the suggestions in here make me feel like I need to go straight to "The "you know you're getting old when..." thread". It's hard to reconcile games that came out in my late teens with being "old" :lol:

That said, some of my picks:

kung fu on nes. awesome.

I remember getting to level 99 on commodore 64. But never managed to finish the game. Its been on my to-do list for 28 years. lol

There are actually 200 levels. The same as the first hundred but the maze is blacked out so you either have to remember it or feel your way around.

Love that game, as soon as I saw the gif the game's music got in my head :)

Edit: Actually that may only be in the console versions ( I never got that far in the arcade but I did on my master system :lol:)

Obviously hasn't heard of wolfenstein3d

I wish I could remember the cheats. lol

CoD 4 still holds up today.

Fuck me you really are a twelvie.
