All these new games. Impressive T&L effects, some amazing gfx but the gameplay is lacking for me.

Anyone play any of the old classics? Quake2/Everquest ect?

I think a GFY q2 server would be fun

FATPad · 03-09-2002, 02:57 PM

hehe. I have an Apple IIe emulator on my comp.

I play all the old school 80's games with the shitty graphics and terrible sound.

They were fun.

theWatsonian · 03-09-2002, 02:58 PM

EQ is a classic?

DTK · 03-09-2002, 03:05 PM

Odyssey: The Compleat Adventure
Dr J and Larry Bird One-on-One

for the apple][

Now those are classics

FATPad · 03-09-2002, 03:09 PM

Dr J and Larry Bird 1 on 1!

What else I got here...

Ultima IV and V, Wizardry, Dino Eggs, Karate Championship....

Fun stuff.

spacedog · 03-09-2002, 03:13 PM

It is in my eyes - Meridian 59 and UO are the same. Those three games started the MMORPG market and EQ pushed the first-person view to the standard it is now.

If it wasn't for the Cleric nerfs, I'd still be playing EQ. Made the class completely useless.

theWatsonian · 03-09-2002, 03:55 PM

I still play on Fennin Ro once in a while. Never got a high level character, though. EQ takes a long time, this biz takes a long time - one of them had to give.

I'm in for some q3

Steve · 03-09-2002, 04:44 PM

Frontier

that was a classic

pipp · 03-09-2002, 05:05 PM

I never play ! Games are for kids!

TheEnforcer · 03-09-2002, 05:07 PM

Ok.. somebody is a real pup when they count Quake 2 and Everquest as "retro" gaming!!

DarkJedi · 03-09-2002, 05:33 PM

who played Prince Of Persia and Prince of Persia 2 ??
my fav retro

Brian911 · 03-09-2002, 05:39 PM

sim city (1), nascar racing (1), duke nukem1 and 2, monster bashers, day of the tentacle, indiana jones 3&4, larry 1-6... those were THE games.

I also love all these older arcade games (www.mame.dk offers some if you state that you "own" the originals

)

q2= retro? lol

starcraft and unreal tournament did REALLY good concerning online servers and players though.
I still play brood war once a week usually.. some real good new maps every time, its just perfectly balanced

I played on Rallos Zek exclusively - PvP added a bit more spice to the game. Got two accounts with a lot of caharcters on it, but I played it before I got into the biz.

As for Q2, I consider it "retro" - okay it's not quite 80's arcade game retro, but an older game that has sadly faded into the background. IMO, the new breed of FPS games cannot hold a candle to it gameplay-wise.

And yes, I will play anyone 1v1 on Q2

Throw down those gauntlets

Sorry - maybe I should have said "older games" instead of "retro".

As for being a pup - I wish I was

You must of been one sucky cleric sir.

I play EverQuest currently on Lanys server. heh

Slick · 03-09-2002, 06:30 PM

I still play Everquest. I'm on Morell Thule. I have a High Elf Cleric and she's great. Clerics are in high demand on that game. I never have a problem finding a group to play with. What's a "Cleric Nerf" anyways ?

TheWatcher · 03-09-2002, 06:43 PM

A nerf is something that a specific character/spell/item had that gave a good bonus, and was exploited. Thus causing that character/spell/item to be removed, made untradble or taken down a notch.

railz · 03-09-2002, 06:52 PM

Actually the two nerfs I am talking about are:

(a) The healing aggro change - on a PvP server, this equals dead cleric 99% of the time.
(b) The nerf to CH - god I hated that.

Rallos was a fun place for a while. My cleric had a nice amount of kit for his level, but wearing it except on raids was a pain in the ass because of item loot.

I also have a 51 Shaman - now that's a PvP class

railz · 03-09-2002, 06:54 PM

I was a guide for a while as well, and that was (for a bit) more fun than actually playing. Save from the morons who constanly whined about being killed in PvP on a PvP server (Vallon Zek), had a great time.

Then I started in this biz and gave it all up. I highly reccomend applying to be a guide if you're still playing.

=^..^= · 03-09-2002, 07:54 PM

I just bought an atari 1040Ste and a 2600 from the local antique store along with about 200 games - is that retro enough for ya??

Now my problem is how I will get any work done

:

theWatsonian · 03-09-2002, 08:59 PM

I keep telling myself that I'm going to buy an Atari 2600 soon but I never do. I'm looking for one in good condition with the paddles for Warlord. Now that was fun. And nothing beats playing combat drunk (with friends, of course). sigh...

DialerNET · 03-10-2002, 03:38 AM

The best game ever was Ultima Underworld 2.
No game has ever matched it's depth or intelligence since.

That baby took me about 2 months to complete and had me completely engrossed (like a book) from start to finish.

I long for another game like it.

You can keep your mindless shooters. This was role playing at it's best.

railz · 03-10-2002, 05:16 AM

If you're talking about all-time fave games:

(1) Paradriod (C64)
(2) Mission Impossible (C64)
(3) Defender (Arcade, Williams)
