Old School Video Games

The game was so damn buggy. For no reason at all, the guards would kill each other, or the quest givers would stop offering things they were suppose to. The game is broken in the fact that you can beat the game at level 15 if you worked on your illusion skill. I figured that out on accident. I could kill town guards just by vanishing, attack with a poison. Rince and repeat until the fuckers fall. I refused to ever pay my fines, or go to jail, so I had to kill most of the guards in every town, just because they were pissing me off.

It wasn't buggy for me, but it sounds like you had fun. :shrug:

Again, give Baldur's Gate a try. You can get it dirt cheap. There are two full games and two expansion packs. You start at level 1 in the first game and (after you finish the first game) you can import your character into the second game.

Damn, now that I'm thinking about it, I want to play the game again. I don't have the spare time. Grrrr...
 
Have you guys played Neverwinter Nights? or 2?

I played the first one, and thought it was kinda cool.

So I tried the 2nd one recently....I just can't get into it.

I hate the camera angles, and the movements....Or else It would be cool
Because I've always wanted to play a game that was based completely on
DnD.

I couldn't stand NWN. Between the crappy camera and the the limit of one henchmen, I wouldn't play it. I could've dealt with the camera problems, but no friggin' party?! That's one of the basic principles of D&D!

I heard that in NWN 2, you can have a party (there's even a simply hack to bump up the number of people allowed in your party), but I'm not interested in playing NWN anymore.

Yea I see what you mean.
What I thought was fun for a while was the hacks for the first one.
You could make yourself any monster class.

I turned myself into a white dragon :laugh:
That was entertaining, going inside houses.

Yea NWN2 seems like it will be good, I just can't get into it right now.

I'm thinking about finally giving in and picking up
WoW. Since my friend recently did as well.

My brother refers to it as, "D&D on crack".

If you haven't done Oblivion yet, go for it. There are plenty of hacks that can make it look even better...if your hardware will support it. I bought a new video card and doubled my memory to play it.
 
but he plays that one too.

Oh, I've had my run-in with Oblivion.

I waited for it for a year lol.
My friend and I were so ecstatic when it came out (for download lol).
We had been hawking over the Torrent sites for months waiting for it.

My first Game I played it for over 80+ hours.

I got to my 2nd or 3rd Oblivion gate, and the game glitched.

I would get to the top of the tower and click on the Gem or whatever it was.
And the game would flash, and I would still be inside the gate.
So I had to delete that save.
At which point I lost interest for a while. :cry: :cry:

However, now that Nights of the Nine are out. I will probably download it and play again soon.
It is definetely an amazing game.

And Yes I used Planet Elderscrolls for mods too.
Had fun with that for a while.


You know, they have a werewolf mod out now right? ;)

One of the best arcade games ever. Me and my buddy would play it for NES and never get sick of it no matter how many times we beat it:

I just got back from Chuck E Cheeses and played this today. I can't believe how hard some of the bosses are. They must have switched the difficulty up to fuck with the little kids.
 
Nobody mentioned Pac-Man or regular Donkey Kong.. those are the ultimate arcade classics.

:laugh:

Yeah I don't remember any boss being real hard. Probably because I'd always play with my friend who was good at any game he played. I might buy an NES just for this game. How are those top loader ones you can get on ebay? Anyone know anything about those?

When I was younger I used to go up to this remote cabin in North Conway, NH for a ski weekend every winter with people from my neighborhood. I was probably 6 or 7 years old. And besides the indoor pool, jukebox & 7 bedrooms at this house, the best part was there was a free Pac-Man arcade machine that we'd all fight over and spend more time on than skiing. This was probably around 1990. I still remember if you touched a certain part of the machine you'd get a bad electric shock.
Pac Man brings back great childhood memories LOL. :laugh:

Galaga

Punch Out

Was that the game with the odd controllers were you lunge the 'grips' forward to punch and such?

Arcade games I always loved and have been looking for in another "game pack:"

Aliens
Xmen
TMNT
Captain America
Tron
T2
Street Fighter (the first one; only cuz I could never learn)
Bad Dudes

And especially ( i need some needed help here ) I remember an OLD game that played like Gauntlet. It was a bird's eye view and it was setting was like a dungeons & dragons area. I remember crossing wooden bridges that wood fall apart as you crossed them. Your special weapon was like..dynamite? And the enemies were pretty big compared to your player. I guess it was like Smash TV or Total Carnage, but much older. Anyone have a clue as to what game I am talking about?
 
Oh yeah, the commodore 64. I tried getting some emulators to work, but they all suck.

I played:

Monsters...or Buy your Own Monsters.. I forget.
Wizard (i would love to play this donkey kong rip off again)
SeaHorse
Imagine
Some submarine game.

I remember the starting of the games required ridiculous codes. Lots of @@@#$$ and such.

All the trucks and stores in the levels said "Bad," "Dudes," or "Bad Dudes."

Oh man, an NES is a good investment, my system still works great after all these years. I think the top loader NES's are far more expensive due to less in circulation. I remember seeing them on eBay years ago and they were selling for ridiculous prices. However, things may have changed since.
 
Has anyone tried GameTap yet? Take a look at it. 9.95 a month and you get tons of content with old school games, some recent ones, _TONS of genesis, dreamcast, and holy crap they have so many arcade games.

Crap, does this sound like an advertisement? Sorry if it does.
