*Really* Classic Games

[Byel]

Of course it's not the oldest, but def a classic. MAGESTORM. I remember my poor mom getting insane bills when it was on AOL games for like 3$ an hour.

She happily payed the 10$ for game storm sub once it went there! Then last year I found it on Mage storm revival, much like p99 a emu someone recoded. Sadly recently it fell to low player count and the creator refusing to allow us to broadcast and try to get people for fear of lawsuit. Luckily I found online someone else making a new custom version. Improved graphics and all. Best team pvp, ever. 3 teams, only 4 classes in a battle to take the other two shrines down and hold yours. Good times!

I'm still looking for old school PC games. Like Advanced D&D games such as Pools of Darkness, Eye of the Beholder, Stronghold, etc... As well as Hexen, and Heretic.

GOG sells older games changed to work on current machines. I've bought a number of early '90s titles from there. They have sales all the time that they send by email.

You want Pool Of Radiance, The Bard's Tale (original not that remake), Wizard's Crown and The Magic Candle.

They're all better on the commodore 64 so use an emulator.

I actually have an emulator and all those games if you want them.

for those sonic nerds here. Sonic Xtreme is leaking onto the nets, which is an unfinished saturn game.

Hells yes!

I love GoG. I'm on linux now, though. Haven't set up a way to play the Windows games.

Does anyone remember Quarantine? Is an old dos game from about 1994. You were a taxi driver in a messy city with lawlessness. You moved passengers around and did missions. It was mostly open world.

Wow that tapper seems a lot harder than the arcade version. Got an old arcade near my house that has it and the first few levels are cake.

This:

http://www.gog.com/game/darklands

One of the greatest games ever made before Everquest. I still think the combat system in this game is revolutionary. You control four characters and you hit space to pause, give those characters orders (i.e. click on a place for them to move to or an enemy to attack), then unpause and the combat happened in real time.

I'm not sure if this was the first game that moved from stupid turn-based combat like Pool of Radiance (you move your character across the screen while everybody else is frozen in time, then once your turn is done, you sit there motionless while each NPC moves one at a time) to real time/simultaneous. But it's the game I remember it for. So it incorporated real strategy because if your wizard was about to get attacked by some plate-clad enemies, you needed to move him back and get your mele character in the way.

It's not open world ... you move about cities through dialog screens and only go into the 2D isometric view during combat. This was a DOS game. Old school. Yes, I'm old. Fuck you. I had a Commodore 64.

According to the description on GOG:

One of “The Greatest Games Of All Time” according to Gamespot®.

Yes, easily.

After Darklands, the next major game for me was Myth II: Soulblighter. This game took the concept of real time action and giving orders to your troops and expanded it to a small army. The game's realistic physics combined with one of the best game soundtracks ever plus voice acting to make it extremely immersive. If you put your archers on top of a hill to fire down on your enemies, their range is greatly expanded. When the enemies close, your have your archers run like hell and move up the ground troops. Fucking phenomenal game lovingly updated and preserved here:

I'm going through GOG looking for a game to buy, something I missed (which isn't hard because I never bought a lot of games, just found a few that I liked and played the shit out of them). Torchlight looks pretty cool as does Gothic. Mount and Blade looks fun but it has so few votes. Recommendations?
