Well I meant computer games, I wasn't sure if we were talking in general.

I grew up with SNES/NES then Genesis. I always a Genesis kid after getting it but I use to love the SNES/NES for the Mario games and other ones. I also have an Atari system around here somewhere. That system had some messed up games.

AoE was a fun game, especailly the fantastic stuff that was done with the campaigns, I recall there was a fantastic one of the Greeks vs the persians.

I remmeber being in a club and seeing a sitdown table top version of 'space invaders.'

I had an odysey back in the early 80s. But, i'll do one better... Ever play the Intellivision? Tron Deadly Disk was bad to the fucking bone.

TRON and PONG

I had a pong machine in the basement....full sized with 2 metal knobs and 2 white platic nobs on it....black and white FTW.

I just tried Lesiure Suit Larry for the PS3, I'd reccomend not buying this game

 

[Xenophon]

I'm fooling around with some old ones, Lucas Arts makes a nice value pack called 'Star Wars the best of PC' which has some older but fun Star Wars quest and battle games.

The game includes Knights of the old republic &Jedi Knight 2, Jedi outcast for the RPG gang, and Empire at war, battlefront & republican commando for the RTS types.

Good value for under $30 bucks, even if somewhat old.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Do they have that game for sony playstation 3?

I have sonics ulitmate genesis collection. Its about 40 classic games on one disc like Altered Beast, Sonic Series, golden axe, ect ect.

 

[Xenophon]

I don't think so, the games are from a few years ago (but still look and play great).

KOTR screen shot

Jedi 2 in the begining is kind of like the original Star Wars, you run around blasting Imperials (and it uses the great old music and sound effects) until you find a light saber and start using teh force.

KOTR is a very involved RPG that lets you choose the path of your character for good, bad or neutral, and visits a lot of different planents, even though its set thousands of years before the Star Wars story arch.

 

[Xenophon]

Empire at war is a RTS game that lets you be either the empire or rebels, and has spce and ground combat.

I haen't gotten round to the other two games yet.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Pictures make it look pretty good

 

[Xenophon]

For about 35 bucks its well worth it.

The added benifit is since these games are a few years old, they are already patched and play just fine on most common PCs without long load times or lag.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I've been playing Wheel Of Fortune

 

[Xenophon]

Nothing wrong with that.

I know people that like playing solitare on their PC.
