Speaking of the Amiga 1200. I’m actually working on setting up WinUAE with an emulated BlizzardPPC card to run AmigaOS4.1 as I write this.

I never owned one(I didn’t exist in 1985), but the later versions of the operating system are heavenly. It runs very fast and looks great. The only downside of that is no MMU.

I’m guessing the PowerPC accelerator cards were insanely expensive back then? They certainly are now, despite being 25 years old.

I used to be literally addicted to Donkey Kong Jr. Defender, Tempest, and that vector Star Wars rocked too. Doom was the only game to ever instill fear in me while playing it.

I used to love the classic Star Wars PC games from the early to mid-90s too especially Tie Fighter. I’m sure Disney will cuck up any forthcoming Star Wars games.

When I was in the Navy 82-86, our ship had a table top version of that game. Thing must have weighed 300 pounds (now you can put it on a cell phone) and man did I put a lot of quarters into that!

I was talking about Donkey Kong. Sorry.

Defender was awesome as well. A donut shop converted into a arcade around 1980, and I kept setting the high score on defender there.

forgot about this one – used to have family trips to see grandparents at the seaside and me and my brothers all used to play this in the arcades….happy days

I have that Ninja Turtle arcade game in my eBay watch list, going for $2,300. I would get it, but I live with a dad that says no to everything and I wouldn’t be able to hide it.

Who says you necessarily need the machine?

I’m pretty sure you can probably find a ROM for that game that can be used with MAME/MESS emulators.

Max, you sound like a sega era kid, I was one too !

Ristar, Sonic, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, they were gold ! One of my favourites rpgs of all times was Phantasy Star for Master System.

Also some Snes games like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy and Breath of Fire.

From my Playstation 1 nostalgic era, would be the first and second resident evil, tomb raider 2, Omikron, Metal Gear Solid, vigilante 8, twisted metal and need for speed.

I have played a lot of sega genesis as a kid because I had a CD that contained a mega drive emulator and several games. Unfortunately some games did not work, but no problem since now I got to play them thanks to better emulators. I never had a mega drive but the master system was my first console and I spent my childhood and adolescence playing nintendo games of the nintendo 64 and gameboy color.

I became a MGTOW because this was the only logical solution for a man survive in a world replete of gynocentrism and biased against men!

I prefer the machine, because I want to some day build my own mini Dave And Busters downstairs with arcade and pinball machines and vending machines and Pepsi Machine. Besides, this game is available as an extra on one of the PS2 Ninja Turtle games.

I have an original Gameboy and an N64 I was given by someone else years ago. I spent quite a bit of time when I was younger playing both of those.

I remember sitting on the couch in the summer when I was a teenager playing Duke Nukem 64 and eating snacks. Good times those were. Hardly a care in the world.

Haha the Master System was a poor mans Sega Mega Drive and thats what I ended up with when I was 10/11 lol. I had Sonic the Hedgehog built in to my Master System and was p~~~ed off it wasn’t Alex the Kid.

The Master System was ok but when I got my Mega Drive it was way better overall.

When I was 7 my stepdad drew a savings chart for me and put it on my bedroom wall, it was to save up for the 1989 Nintendo console with my pocket money (my stepdad was going to pay the difference..i.e majority of the cost). When I finally saved the money, I was over the f~~~ing moon and ecstatic. But then he told me he had bought a ‘PC’ and wasn’t getting the nintendo now.

I was so disappointed, but the PC was fantastic. It came with the original Prince of Persia and that game blew my mind. I then got Alone In The Dark and WOLF 3D and sound blaster. It was incredible to me at the time.

I still wanted a Nintendo but was real happy with the IBM computer. So many great memories.

Shadowrun for the Sega Genesis is a game I go back to every few years or so and just lose myself in. Same with SW:KTOR and Fallout 3 & NV.

Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a feminist to fish and she will accuse you of patronizing her, claim she knew how to do it anyway and that even if she didn't, she could easily work it out without the help of a man.

I started off with the dos games, prince of persia mainly.

I miss Ultima Online, the best game I ever had on my computer. The one true sandbox where there was no path predetermined, you could be whatever you wanted, you could do whatever you wanted. I tried to start again, but it just is not the same. The server I was in, the people I was with, even trying to find a very similar server is not bringing back the magic of those years.

The best that I remember:

StarCraft 1(2 was fine but kinda meh)
Diablo 1 & 2
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2.
The Elder Scrolls series
America’s Army
Arma 2 & 3
World of Warcraft
Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2
Counter Strike GO
Hotline Miami 1 & 2
Total war series since Rome 1
Mount & blade
XCOM
Knights and Merchants
Hitman series
Battlefield 2 & 3
COD series until modern warfare 2.
Mass Effect 1,2 & 3(MEH!!)

Honestly, there are many more, my experience with videogaming is giant.

Played a lot of those games back in the early days.
There were a couple of decent AD&D games as well. I remember trying to steal loot in the city stores, and having to try to run from all the guards or they would kill you. lol (I can’t believe I spent time doing that… basically a shoplifting sim.)

Got to mention Jagged Alliance as well. Pretty good game in the mid to late 90’s

[Jim01Participant 6678]

the talk is that Breath of the Wild is as good as Ocarina of Time so going for some Zelda nostalgia!

Ahahah, I remember casting spells in Baldur’s Gate, because magic in the cities was forbidden, when they teleported there to arrest me the fight would start!

I think a lot of that came from playing the GTA games, where I could do whatever I wanted to. Should replay some of those games, as the evil asshole!

there is something strangely satisfying about driving a pickup truck down a packed pavement and wiping out a load of pedestrians lol
