Old Games you remember fondly

[Tinneh]

This game, I'm sure NOBODY played it but me.

It had "Online Multi-Player!"

You know what I am talking about, those games that you played as a kid and seemed to be full of stars and happiness. Although when you play them again something is missing and you don't enjoy them as much, maybe because we have become used to top-end graphics and cannot settle to anything else.

First off, two games I remember fondly are Timesplitters 2 and Timesplitters Future Perfect. I spent hours on Virus mode with my brothers or friends, then we'd stop, make some more maps on the easy map editor, then play some more. I also remember the different kinds of monkey you could play, especially Brains the undead monkey, and the little robotic fishbowl that would say, "I'm gonna bust your head wide open!" when you select it.

Then going further back I remember playing the original Half-life. Hitting zombies with crowbars was never so much fun.

Then going even unnecessarily further back, I remember playing Pokemon Blue and Blitzing everything just using the pokemon I got at the start.

So what about you guys? Any fond memories?

Also, If there is a way to play Timeplitters on the 360, then enlighten me. I wish they'd hurry up and make the new one.

(There seems to be quite a few threads that have danced around this subject, but Ah well.)

I don't know how to say (type) this so ill be be strait forward, Free Radical Design closed down early last year. It was acquired by Crytek and renamed Crytek UK , as far as anyone knows it (along with Star Wars Battlefront 3) were thrown away. I sorry for your loss.

Starfox 64 I remember fondly. It had the three F's
Fun, Fast, and F***ing A' (as in Awesome)
The dialogue was delicious, the levels varied and the hard ending, from Area 6 onward is probably the best climatic sequence in my gaming experience

I even got back into it recently, until I realized I was only playing to earn medals on expert.
*Cue rant:*
Then again, that gameplay lengthening bit called achievements tends to kill my love of games. It sucks out all of the mindless/mindful exploratory fun out of games and replaces it with a number-crunching grind that turns actually play-ing the game into a drawn-out quicktime event.

now for something non-mopey:

CANT LET YOU BREW THAT, STARBUCKS!

PSBTW how do you create bolds, underlines, emphasizes, etc.? I'm new to this whole forum thingy)

Pokemon Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire.... none of that new-fangled touch screen stuff. Just good'ol Gameboy fun.

Grr.. I can't remeber the name exactly, and it's not OLD old.. it was xbox original. Like a demo derby deal, but not anything i've found in any used stores. You could COMPLETELY customize the cars.it was amazing.

Blackthorne on the SNES;
(There was a more graphicly enhanced version for another system, but it sounded alot different, but looked really good. Hard to describe, but I rather enjoyed the SNES sound selection as opposed to the other one.)

the "arugh" sound you here at about 1:14 is the chained worker being shot off screen by the orc currently on screen.

007 GoldenEye for the death matches, which was followed by Perfect Dark (which I still have). I also still have my copy of Ogre Battle 64 if that says anything.

 

[Berserker119]

Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, Pokemon Snap, Mario Party 1-3, Paper Mario and Super Smash Bros for the N64. Also, Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Gold.

Thousands of hours lost on those games. I basically summarized my childhood in that list.

Do I regret anything? Hell no.

if you add sonic to that list, it's not only my childhood, but future as well.

Sorry, I was always a Mario kid, and hated Sonic. Therefore, we must be enemies and wage Sega vs. Nintendo arguments. En guarde!

En guarde indeed my good sir. one of the things Iikes abut sonic the most was it's awesome soundtrack. and the fact that you could laugh at sonic when he failed and not feel bad about it because there's no princess waiting for him. on the other hand, though, no cake.
