[fujiyama]

Alright which video games were your favorities from back in the day? I grew up on NES myself...

All the NES games in java applets - no need to d/l ROMS, which are hard to find anyways.

Okay, okay.
The truth is that the manager got the hots for me and found a reason to make me hang around even longer.

8. Commodore 64 - The Impossible Mission

First game I got hooked on and could play for hours.
I still have my top loading NES and about a dozen games which I still love playing.
NES favorites: Pinbot, Castlevania 3, Zelda, the first Simpsons game and BattleToads.

9. Scramble

The only video game I can ever say I actually mastered. Top score was around 108,000 , iirc.

10. Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda

The first video games I ever beat.

I had an Atari 2600 when I was really little, but I don't remember too many things from back then.

11. Commodore 64: Flimbo's Quest

and also Fiendish Freddie's Big Top O' Fun

[DS1]

12. Bard's Tale - Apple IIgs

or Amiga, depending on which one you had

[Mizmoon]

13. Bedlam

It was the first game I ever beat - it was for the TRS80 CoCo.

That was text only. No graphics. And my CoCo had a total memory of 16k. That's right - 16k. That was the middle range. You could get a 4k model too, if you didn't need all the power of the 16k version.

Ask me about the cassette tape drive. :)

14. Two-person Nibbles!

Its a worm-eat-world, man! Gobble those numbers!

[egoprofit]

15. spacequest, "fallout", POLICE QUEST!

[Cush]

17. Police Quest ruled

[Occulus]

16. Oh, come ON, people:

PAC-MAN!

By the way, as far as finding ROMs goes... filesharing is the place to be.

edit: I just finished Half-Life 2- the best. PC. Game. Ever.

[Rowdyboy]

18. Anyone remember "Hammurabi" also known as "Ruler"?

Damn I loved that game 20 years ago.

[MrSlayer]

19. Stargate for the arcade, Intellivision for home.

Many great times could be had for a quarter back then. I could play Stargate for hours just racking up ships and smart bombs. The cool thing was if you got the high score it would let you put full messages for your name. Like "Fuck You Jim, I RULE!"

[ikojo]

20. Galaga...at one time I knew the cheat so that

you basically never got killed...something about moving the spaceship to the lower right hand corner...it worked.


I also liked Pole Position.

[TroubleMan]

21. Rogue

Ate away hours of my childhood.

[d_b]

22. Castlevania III

[AgadorSparticus]

23. Gyruss. That was the best video game. :)

[yellowdogintexas]

25. Pac Man, Ms PacMan, Centipede, Frogger, DigDug

and the one with the little chefs who made the burgers and hot dogs and stuff.
