Postcount: 1337

And of course, to legitimize this post, list your favorite old-school games, and WHY. Old School is 8 bit, or DOS.

Galliga, because getting the highest score on the arcade machine at a bar in the middle of no where is the only way to receive immortality.

Oregon Trail, because killing off your family didn't start with 3D graphics and 20 expansion packs [read: The sims], it began with poisonous snakes, working your oxen too hard, and starving your sister.

Dr. Quandry's Island, because it was OK to play with dolls for a change.

Chips Callange, because thinking when playing a game is good... sometimes.

Duke Nukem, because not thinking when playing a game is better.

Zelda, no words required.

Goldenaxe, because teamwork was a concept few of us got at that age.

Streets of Rage, see above.

Sonic. Period.

Anything Ninja Turtles, because Human-like turtles with samurai/ninja weapons > You.

JediKirby

Duke Nukem 3D = Bloody damn great extra amazing wonderful game. Oh, how good DNF could turn out...

Shadow Warrior = Another bloody damn great extra amazing wonderful game. Wonderful humour, levels... hell, everything!

Dark Forces = And another. Greatest SW shooter this far. Hopefully Republic Commando will take it's place...

Wings = Woah. Great shareware stuff. You've probably never heard of it, but still. Yay.

Chips Challenge = So many hours wasted on this one, I never got around finishing it though. My sister was overaddicted to it, though. Hm.

Star Control 2 = It was damn fun years ago, I haven't got myself around to play it nowadays. Probably would be better though.

System Shock = I haven't played it very much, but it seems very spanktastic.

Duke Nukem 3D = Deserves another mention.

Shadow Warrior = Duh.

Dos? There is only one.

Syndicate.

Oh, and ne post before 0xb00.

Beat me to it.

its only 1337 in hex, not your actual post count.

but yeah... chex quest.

Back in the old days, when Might and Magic was good I loved World of Xeen (Might and Magic IV and V).
And of course you can't make a thread like this without mentioning the Commander Keen series.

Another vote for everyone's favorite pre-teen space travelin' wonder engineer.

I had a crudload of shareware games, can't remember them. I liked wolfenstein 3d the most, so I actually bought it.

But seriously, the best game of all time, period is Super Mario Brother 3. Best game ever. I still play it every six months.

dude your post count is like 4,500...

i passed 0x1337 long ago

My favourite dos game is quest for glory, because of its awesome storyline and gameplay.

To bad it's abandonware

Crystal Caves... I must be the only person on Earth who has played it... I think its one of the best platformers EVER.

Yeah, that was a fun one. Sucked up a good portion of my life.

I've reached 1337 too...

Secret agent was good too. (Same graphics and style and everything. Same company too )

Agreed

As for some of my own:

Pong: 'cause I can own you in it!
Jedi Power Battles: Cause it was most likely the first fun Star Wars game.
Super Mario Bros 3: What? You need a reason?
Tecmo Super Bowl: Makes all other football games look...dull.

Duke Nukem.

Escape From Castle Wolfinstein! Best old school game ever. It was the first one to have a death camtm You fight a mecha hitler, dude's with pixlated missles, zombies, dogs, and other nazi cannon fodder. And that one guy has the record times for every level because he just ran through it.

Super Mario RPG...even tho its not DOS...still one of my favorites of all time. i got it up on unix and i play it while in my freshman computer class, just like a real slacker

Lemmings. There is no better game, and there never will be. It's one of my favourite puzzle games ever.

edit: my post count is now "BAA". Kind of appropriate for my title

I used to play lots of Apogee games. (http://www.apogee1.com/)

I played both Crystal Caves and Secret Agent when I was little. Not sure if I ever beat them, at least not much.
