Infocom ruled! Very imaginative, well-written games. There is still an active text adventure community out there.

Just to simply see what kind of odd or obscure or simply games that have faded out of memory there are.

I.Qubed...such a rare game for the Playstation.

Why is that, when someone asks about retro games people can only go as far back as the PS and no farther? It makes me feel very old that no one can go as far back as the Commodore days and the early TV consoles (Mind you gaming on the latter was extremely basic.)

The Commodore days and to some extent the Atari days had some of the most innovative games ever produced, of which some of today' s " Greats" are just re-hashed versions of them.

Sorry am I sounding bitter, if so it is because my mother in law bought me The Godfather for Christmas!!!!

Sorry, alijay. I guess Papado and me are just still hung up on the incredible 3D text adventures that came out on the PS.

I had an Apple ][e rather than a C64, but I did later enjoy my Amiga 500 (using a Sega Master System control pad since they had the same type of controller ports)... Speedball rocked! I didn' t try out any of the later console ports of it.

Gurilla Warfare for the NES

I' m not sure if thats the " real" name. Cause back when I played that game I was too young and couldn' t read yet, but it was flipping fun.

Well actually I was thinking of buying X3 seeing as I can' t find any EVE time cards. Make no mistake about it though, EVE>X3.

Anything before that is mind numbing trash.

Oooh commodore games! Move a little dot back and forth how fun, how exciting. Get the fuck out of here.

I dont have a game no one remembers, because those games mostly arent remembered for a reason - they suck ass.

Evil man is forgetting about the NES and SMS. It was before THOSE two systems that you had the moving-the-dot back and forth crap.

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest - SNES The series isn' t obscure, but the game is, nobody I know has played it.

Earthworm Jim - SNES - Bizzare in an awesome sort of way.

Also for honorable mention. Anything Goemon before the N64. It gets honorable mention if only because I don' t know if they hit the Western market. Goemon beat the snot out of Mario, Sly Cooper, Solid Snake, Crash Bandicoot, Lara Croft, Ryu, and Marcus Fenix! At the same time!!!

Does anyone really not remember Earthworm Jim??

Sonics on MS were good, but alex kidd in Miracle World? nobody can have forgotten this, seriously?

Oh and Ghostbusters was classic, if it is the same one i played on Amstrad cpc 464. like a 3/4 view of the city, you drive to buildings, to enter the ' level' and capture the ghost? Dug that game.

There are so many old classic games, but i don' t really remember any names.

Evil man you really are as dumb as everyone thinks you are! The SNES owes it' s graphics to the Amiga, Sprite based gaming which is the basis of the SNES, Commodore amiga the worlds first true multitasking system, with graphics beyond it' s time.

Ghostbusters was really good for a movie tie in game, however does anyone remember Knight of the realm on the Amiga by cinemaware you can play it online if anyone is interested the link is below.

That Unicycle game for the Snes . I think codemasters made it.


[btw, people who call the snes the ' Super Nintendo Entertainment System' or ' Super Nes' or whatever need to be shot, the proper way is to pronounce it as you see it, snes.]
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Yea, underdogs is great! My fave game of all time is UFO: Enemy Unknown. Brilliant strategy type game available at underdogs. Before that were games like Laser Squad and even before that Rebelstar!

http://www.mjwilson.demon.co.uk/crash/31/rebelstar.htm lol

Honourable mention to point and click adventure games like Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis and Secret of Monkey Island! (which I' m sure everyone remembers!)

Why did SEGA/Weststone, give up on Wonderboy Action RPG' s.

So Space Invaders, Zork, Wasteland, Centipede, Castle Wolfenstein, Lunar Lander, the Pac-Man series, Super Mario Bros. , Galaxian, Yars Revenge, and the Legend of Zelda aren' t games?


Anything before that is mind numbing trash.

Only the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy game can be considered mind-numbing, and only E.T., Custers Revenge and Softporn Adventures can be considered trash.


Oooh commodore games! Move a little dot back and forth how fun, how exciting. Get the fuck out of here.

Have you even played " Adventure" ?


I dont have a game no one remembers, because those games mostly arent remembered for a reason - they suck ass.

Only every third one.
