For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

It and Raptor and Stargunner were games that I played religously despite them being only shareware, I have them now and truly, Tyrian is as the food of the gaming gods

Yeah, Tyrian2000 is the one I have. I also have the shareware version of Raptor, which is also awesome but a lot harder to stay alive.

Most of them have been rereleased for the GBA for cheap. Not as cheap, maybe, as one would like, but they're there.LordShaithis wrote:They ought to do with the NES what they're doing with the Atari Flashback. I'm sure some attempt has been made, but they really need to push it. Give me a cheap little system that can play Mario, Zelda, Contra, Megaman, Metroid, and all that stuff, without any cartridges to blow into and wiggle around. Those would sell by the metric shitload.
Star Control 2, Master of Orion (the original, I hated the sequel for some reason), and of course, Nethack. Dying because I sipped hot water while I only had 1 hp left was something to remember .
."Death before dishonour" they say, but how much dishonour are we talking about exactly? I mean, I can handle a lot. I could fellate a smurf if the alternative was death.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
