The prequel, Seize the Daedalus, was kinda weak.

I like FPS games. In my view, DOOM was the best game ever. But some of the newer games are very good - Half Life, Deus Ex and Vietcong are all good.

Among the turn based strategy games, I play Alpha Centauri. This game still is the best of the genre, IMHO.

Old games that I still play (and some still betting money on w/ friends and having pizza nights)

- Super Mario kart
- Street fighter II
- Quake I

I just stopped enjoying RPGs since FF6. All the new ones suck hard.

It looks kind of like the old adventure construction set for C64.

Edit: The first pic does but the other two don't.

except for some classics most new games i like better. new computer games are a pain since my pc is only 750mhz, and i have a 28.8k modem(bad phone lines) while most new computer games need much more than that to be really enjoyable.

It's "Commando Libya" for C64. Its intense violence combined with a lack of story started debates about computer game violence and banning of games.

The basic story in this game is that you stand in a tower and shoot the soldiers on the battlefield. After killing all of them you get to execute some prisoners as a reward. When you have killed them, you get a message like "Wow, you're even better than Rambo"
Well, that's the plot

I haven't given this game a second thought for many many many (etc) years, but I just remembered it a couple of days ago... though I didn't remember the name, so I didn't know how to find it... I might want to try to find it again



Back in the days there where more difference between games, than there is nowadays... most of those good old games just don't have a modern day equal... This is what makes it sooooo good...

Anyone remember the game (don't remember the name) where you had two places to be (though still on the same screen). You could either be underground (Great for MP "matches" ) or you could fly a plane above ground, where you had to kill some birds you kept destroying the skyscrabers in the city (Or you could just destroy those buildings yourself )... There's no game that even looks like this game nowadays... at least not what I know of...

There also where "Sleep walker", where you where a dog, who's mission was to avoid his master to die during his sleep walking...
