                  Was it called Space Trader 2000 or something like that?

                  I coded a BBS game modeled after one called Operation Overkill.. Only ran on one BBS, but it was fun

                  You've read it, you can't unread it.

                    Heh, some consider "old school" to mean the 70's, 80's or early 90s. I guess it's all relative.

                    I remember when I was a kid, my dad took me into his lab to play "Space Wars" on an oscilloscope that his co-workers jury-rigged to display graphics generated by a computer that loaded the game by using punch-cards. That was the first game I played, in the mid-70's, and it blew me away at the time. Then there were the first hit arcade games, like Pong and Space Invaders, and my favorite arcade game, Omega Race.
                    Then came the first blockbuster home computer games, like Zork, Lode Runner, M.U.L.E., Wizardry, the Ultima series, Elite, SpaceDog, SpyHunter, and Archon I/II in the early/mid 80's.

                    My favorite of all time, however, was Master Of Orion. Man, back in the early 90's, almost every Strategy game by Microprose simply kicked ass.

                                I'd have to say my three favorite Classic Games are

                                1. PACMAN

                                2. PONG The first video game console and game I ever played/owned

                                3. Tetris is so fuckn addicting!

                                The classics are the best!

                                I still have my Original Pong console.

                                Why use ICQ or Skype when we could use a chat app (with video & voice) that pay$ you (up to 70%) of all the ad revenue they make!

                                All the best!

                                  Oregon Trail. I remember that thing from waaaaaay back. 84, I think.

                                  Combat and Stampede were cool as shit. I also had a thing for Texas Instruments home PC version of Football.

                                    I used to play Archon like mad when I was a kid. The only versions I can find are for dos and run like shit. Anybody know if they made an updated version within the last 6 or 7 years, and where I could find it?

                                        Depends on what system your talking about...for the Atari 2600 I would be torn between either KABOOM!! or Pit Fall (the game you always thought would lead to something else...level 2 has got be be here somewhere!!!!)

                                        For the NES...Contra kicked ass; cause of the free lives!!!!

                                        Zelda was cool; and I really dug the first Dragon Quest.

                                              of the ones mentioned.. Archon and Scorched Earth rocked.. although I must say scortched earth isn't really old school.. it was a fun updated version of the early 80's Artillery Duel which I remember playing in '84 on an apple. It's older than that too.. Cannon Duel on Amiga and some late 70's shite.

                                              I'll add Bard's Tale 1, Ultima IV.. loderunner.. Galaga 88.. Gauntlet...

                                              To me old school is anything in the 80's and earlier.. I know for some people it's 70's but to be honest, that doesn't leave a lot of fun in choosing because of a comparative lack of titles even though the quality is obviously there in asteroids, pacman etc..
                                              but at the same time calling 70's real old school is totally legitimate as they certainly were an easily definable "age" of games.

                                              hehe ultima 4:



                                              Amazing.. going back to those graphics.. I can't believe what an awesome game that was and how "into it" you could get but it was the sense of adventure and how enormous it all was and all with these 20 pixel grid icons.. I haven't got as far into an RPG since then... Maybe because I was younger and more imaginative or whatever.. but nothing i've played since beats ultima or bard's tale 1.

                                              then again Rogue players probably though Ultima was too much graphics..:

                                                      YES!! The laundry I used to do my clothes at had the arcade machine, and I think I spent more on the game than on my laundry!

                                                                                  Rescue Raiders (I think was the title) was set in world war 2 and you had to launch tanks, gunners, engineers, and medical trucks to break through the German lines. It was set-up like a Choplifter without saving people.

                                                                                  SunDog - they really need to do a remake. That was a great space game. RPG in a sense, but no stats to build.

                                                                                  Karateka was simply a great storyline and action game. To me it was better than Prince of Persia because it was almost pure fighting without the annoying obstacles.

                                                                                  there were some great games in the 80s

                                                                                          And that was years and years before even wolfenstein came out.. nice vision and drive they had!
                                                                                          I think one of the first "ID" games was Kingdom of Kroz. It was sort of an RPG, but since programming for graphics chips was new ground, they used text mode for the "characters" by redefining the letters of the alphabet and using the high ascii characters and crap like that.

                                                                                          Whats really sick when you think about it is how the Apollo missions L.E.M. computer only had about 4k (if that even) and yet was able to calculate so well the landing and firing the attitude jets and all that shit. God damn amazing!
