So what is it for you guys?

I would have to flip between Metal Marines and Orgeon Trail II.

Wow that was a long time ago 8 years or so?

Mac Version, Wolfenstien 3D



Posted by: Beefcake

Doom, and Wolf3d of course cause it started the whole genre. Warcraft II and Duke3D (duke nukem) were also classics.

^^^ Ste, didn't the mac version had extra weapons like a flamethrower and others? Either way I only played the mac demo but I have the PC version.



Posted by: Ste

It did, Bazooka, Flamthrower, submachine gun, Knife, pistol,chain gun (Gattling gun).
Im pretty sure the PC version did not include the flamethrower or bazooka.

It had more levels too, I think.

Omfg I wanna play it so bad, I still remmeber the master cheat.
ledoux

Ste Goes torrenting!

Argh I can't find an emulated Version with all weapons! Argh! BAH MEH!

Keep in mind, I am only 22, so when I was in 6th grade our teacher let us play games on his computer when we had our work done.... about 5-10 boys would be gathered around 1 comp yelling at the poor guy with the mouse how to solve "The incredible Machine". A couple of our other favorites were SimCity , and Lemmings (can't remember which version. Also, I still remember the day we got Sim City 2k, we thought that was the greatest thing ever.... ahh memories...


great thread by the way.

NES- Contra, Blades of Steel, Sweet Home
SNES- Chrono Trigger, Mega Man X, Super Mario World

Those are just my absolute favorites, but there are defiinitely more.

Second place would be a list of about 20, most have been already mentioned.

Honorable mentions goes to:

Street Fighter II (arcade and console)

Rygar

RC Pro AM

Phantasy Star II (My vote for best RPG ever)



Posted by: hillbillybob

I remember Rygar, couldn't ever get past the first two levels.

What about Bionic Commando????



Posted by: joshshift

what about "out of this world" for snes.



Posted by: K. O'Rielly

warcraft 2, simcity classic + 2000, doom 1 + 2, quake 1 +2.



Posted by: cvb724

The games I wasted my entire childhood and most of my teenage years were:

PC: SimFarm, SimCity 2000, Warcraft II, and Diablo

SNES: Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda, a Link to the Past

This is a good thread! Brings back some fond memories :) Four computers linked up in my buddies basement playing Warcraft II for 12 hours straight. Those were the days :)

[color=darkred]First WWII FPS? lol[/color]



Posted by: baronvongogo

maybe he meant for the playstation ;)



Posted by: Dexaroni

The very first FPS (Wolfenstein) was WW2 based.



Posted by: talldude123

All-time favorite game: Super Mario 1. It started it all, and it's still fun. Maybe if somebody remastered it and added a few levels, that would make it a little more fun.



Posted by: Z3N

Old old game -> [b]Elite[/b]

Last decade old game -> [b]Kingpin: Life of crime.[/b] (they should make an updated version of this game)



Posted by: hillbillybob

Awww man, what about double dragon?

I never had an snes, I only had an NES, n64, and now an xbox. *sniff* I remember my nes, I want one now.



Posted by: Danks

wow., you never had an SNES? :-(

Thats prob the best console ever made....



Posted by: hillbillybob

ya, and believe it or not, growing up my parents didn't buy any of them . My aunt gave me and my sisters the NES, I did *alot* of odd jobs for the n64, and I paid for my xbox. So there you have it. And games, forget about it...we had to pay for all those.



Posted by: talldude123

I have had an NES, Game Boy Color, N64, PS1, PS2, and PC.
