Aspies For Freedom

Well, being an impulsive ADD person myself, I also had a lot of fun playing games back in the day.

The ones in bold are the ones I've played, from that list.

Loderunner, loderunner 2 (the first , non3d version was so much better)

Kings quest, the early ones were crap IMO, but the first person one was good.

X-com ufo defense, x-com terror from the deep, x-com anything really, anyone play these oldies? best games ever IMO.

Doom, got the lot, just trying to get a hacked copy of doom III to work at the moment, who ever said gratuitous violence is bad for kids

I'm still dissapointed that we never had the chance to enjoy the other oldies in computer gaming. One computer game I love was called "Gertrude's Puzzles", or something like that for some old version of Apple computers. My peers thought it was annoying, how I got an endless kick of the art box. That had me laughing sometimes, because I could take an item, put it into the art thingie, them screw it to heck with my bad art skills. HAhah..

I'd love to mess with it again someday, if possible. I liked all the king's Quest games. Ehem, anyway, the 3 oldest Kings Quests were, erm, strange. I thought Adventures of Rosella was good. I played one of the more recent ones three of four times now, at least. There was this wierd fellow you had to take everywhere, and he had to kill alot of stuff.

Great chuckles to, killing innocent birds, swamp frogs, the pink pig at the farm and other small critters that didn't diserve to die in that game. Whoot! I love pointless killing.

Kings quest was great
wish it was stillpossible to play it

How did kings quest end?

Oh the endings were ok. My favorite Kings Quest ending was in Perils of Rosella, where she got married to Edgar and the evil fairy was still alive.

Did anyone play Tekken?
I was hooked onthat tooback in the days.
And i did rigde-racer type 4.

In 1975 I paid $69 for "Pong".  It was the first home video game. I am still bitter   Never bought another video game.

I was joking about the "bitter" part. The point is, that was a lot of money in 1975. According to the online dollar value calculators, what cost $69 in 1975 would cost $272.49 in 2006.  Of course it was soon obsolete, like beta videotapes. So, would you say that a video game that does this is worth $273 of entertainment to you?

I remember the first video games too.

Pong
Space Invaders
Asteroids

Only to be played in pubs and clubs, each console must have cost thousands.

The Vic20 was fun. Some programs could be recorded onto audiotapes off the radio, others were printed out in the paper and had to be laboriously typed in.

My favourite games on the Amiga were "Humans" and "Lemmings" Each took ages to load off a pile of floppy discs.

Heh I remember lemmings from when I was a kid, and some of the really old platform games of the time, one "jill of the jungle" comes to mind, starring some lightly-clad chick (get your mind out of the gutter, the graphics were primitive then), along with craploads of demons, lizard men, killer bees and other such fun, cuddly creatures.

Xargon, too, much in the same vein, but a lot harder, and more futuristic-ish.

Wolfenstein 3-D

When I was much younger, I enjoyed Zaxxon.  Some years later, Lucasarts put out a game called Loom, which was also a lot of fun.

Same here!  I found almost all of them in the first game.  There was a second game--Spear of Destiny--that I wanted to play, but never did.

It is because of Wolfenstein 3D that we have games like Halo now.  You can't forget where it all started!

***, pac-man, not seen that in years, this is where it all really got started with the hype about violence in games affecting teens,  now really, if that was real, all teh kids these days would be dancing to repetitive electronic music and munching pills all the time....oh, wait..........
