Does anyone remember LHX? One of my first PC games, played it a lot.

Oh, and add lemmings (the original one) to the list.

Was that an Electronic Arts title? I vaugely remember that name. I thought it was for the Sega though??

You can still play lot of these old games. You just need to find an emulator and the roms.

I still play a game of MULE now and then. That theme music is classic.

LHX attack chopter. For PC. It was the first, to my knowledge, war chopter 3D simulator. Way back when the world was young, and MSDOS was the rule.

I actually still have the game, together with many others, in backup CD's. Can't vouch for their state, though.

Doom, easily. Nothing compares to the visceral terror of stumbling through a pitch-black hole, surrounding by flesh-devouring zombies and demons straight out of hell.

One can only hope that DOOM III will live up to its name.

Maybe he should have said "best game OTHER than Wolf 3D or DOOM"

Gunship by Microprose. That was a good game. You had to put a keyboard template over your computer so you knew what button did what.

Yes that super mario brother on super nintendo and some other game that I don't know the title for that had cooperative play and Halo kind of reminds me of it even though they had nothing to do with each other and weren't alike in any way.

Ecco the Dolphin and Jurassic Park for Genesis. Two great games.

And of course Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2.

That Justice League fighting game was cool too.

Syndicate - shooting innocent civilians is neither good, nor bad - but somewhere inbetween.

It's good! HEHEHE AYAYHAHAHAH

Was I the only one who walked around with the guns under the overcoats,
and then gunned down EVERYONE in sight when the target was in sight?

Nope.

Using the flamer on civvies was sheer, rank sadism - I loved it.
Clear influence on GTA, I reckon.

688 Attack Sub by EA

To give you an idea when it came out, I played it on my then new computer which had a 20Mb hard drive, CGA monitor, and a blazing 8MHz processor.

That computer lasted me until X-Wing came out.
