EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Eventually Gradius unseated Galaga for me, but I still like to go back and play Galaga from time to time.
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I loved that game as a kid! Although I sucked at the first level, so I found a way to cheat and get to the second level. Those trapdoor blocks always got me!
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I have never played Loderunner. I will now proceed to sob in a corner.
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Hehe, I was like 4 when I first played it. I didn't play the game properly though. I always found it more fun to trap the bad guys than to collect the lodestones.
Child of Flame Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Hehe, I was like 4 when I first played it. I didn't play the game properly though. I always found it more fun to trap the bad guys than to collect the lodestones. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was five. My parents bought me an Apple IIe for my birthday because they couldn't afford anything better at the time. I think I managed to get to level twenty or something, then all the bad guys started going at ludicrous speed, and I always got caught. If you go looking for a copy of it Ender, get it on an Apple IIe Emulator. There's an updated 3D version of it by Broderbund (?) floating around that totally sucks a fatty.
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Prepare to go to ludicrous speed! .... They've gone to plaid!
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 LOL! <squeaky voice>Prepare ship.......AHEM Prepare ship, for ludicrous speed. Close all the shops in the mall, cancel the three ring circus, tie down all animals in the zoo! I heard Mel was considering making a prequel spoof called Spaceballs 0.5
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I hear Mel Brooks is considering either a Spaceballs 2 or a Spaceballs TV show.
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Doh, I didn't get my edit in fast enough. But yeah, I heard he wanted to make a prequel movie, and rumor was it was going to be called Spaceballs 0.5
EnderAndrew Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 It would make sense to spoof the prequel trilogy.

IIRC they even transferred it, holis bolis, to the arcade; I remember playing a sit-down machine of it (and it wasn't cheap). That and Choplifter! (their exclamation mark, not mine: I thought it was okay, but not worth it's own proprietary punctuation). That's what I had for my first computer, the Apple //e: 6502 8 bit processor goodness. Great machine. I remember the ludicrous copy protection schemes they invented to (attempt to) prevent piracy, which were a dismal failure. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
alanschu Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I never liked Choplifter....perhaps because I sucked at it. There didn't seem to be a way to rescue the other buildings unless you went and crashed into it to set it on fire There was a similar game though, called Rescue Raiders. I still love that game even today. You were in a helicpoter with guided missiles, bombs, and machine guns (that later are replaced with air to ground missiles...very devastating). You slowly accumulated money, with which you could buy tanks, engineers (that could repair AA guns, infantry (useful for taking little base installations), Demolition trucks (the only thing that could take out the enemy base and win the level). And an anti-aircraft jeep that would shoot down the enemy helicopter. Both sides were equal (in terms of units), so it was just a lot of fun And it was all played from the same side scroller perspective that Choplifter! had
Diogo Ribeiro Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I thought that Bethesda just released an Elder Scroll's 10th annivesary collection a while back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know if they did this, however, I do know they are temporarily releasing a full, free version of The Elder Scrolls: Arena. More info about their 10th anniversary here, and the download page for Arena is here.

Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
EnderAndrew Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Thats another one I have up in the attic, and DaggerFall. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You need to sell me Talisman! I've been looking for a copy for quite some time!
Musopticon? Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I'll outbid you in no time kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Azure79 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 My current favorites. Burnout 3 Takedown...just pure fun Soul Calibur 2...more fun MGS3 Snake Eater I bought a used PS2 recently, and those are the games I am playing now. I have FFX too, but I can't seem to like it. The whole thing seems tedious and it's annoying getting interrupted by monsters every 5 seconds. I'm just at the part before you go battle SIN and well the story just doesn't seem that intriguing. I used to love playing through FF games 5,6,7,8, are the ones I've played but X just didn't do it for me. Maybe my tastes have changed. All time favorites. BG series Planescape Torment Jedi Knight Series Half Life...looking forward to the expansion Prince of Persia series, both old and new except for the 3D one. Icewind Dale series Romance of the Three Kingdoms Series..playing 10 right now and damn they upped the difficulty a bit Kotor series Divine Divinity...I really tried to like Beyond Divinity but couldn't Beyond Good and Evil Metal Gear Solid Series Starcraft...when are they gonna do a sequel? Diablo series Contra series Ninja Gaiden Series, 1 and 2 were awesome, 3 was meh, haven't played the Xbox one Double Dragon 2 Strider for Sega Genesis...that game totally blew me away. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game Battletoads for NES. I loved this game. Super Mario 64 There are probable more that I can't think of right now.
EnderAndrew Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I'll outbid you in no time <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Talisman routinely goes for over $100 on EBay. A bidding war here would merely escalate to those prices, so I should be a good sport, accept that you responded first and not drive up your purchase price. I just really want a copy of Talisman.
Musopticon? Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Go and have it then. I think I'm satisfied with Arcanum anyway. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Darque Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Well Finally got a copy of Daggerfall Darned if I can make it work though
Lancer Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Well Finally got a copy of Daggerfall Darned if I can make it work though <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good stuff! Let us know whatcha think. Lancer
Lancer Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 My current favorites. (snip) Double Dragon 2 Strider for Sega Genesis...that game totally blew me away. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game Battletoads for NES. I loved this game. Super Mario 64 There are probable more that I can't think of right now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Strider... Now that was one AWESOME game. Lancer
