Classic Video Games You Miss

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Just bought a chipped PS2 for £10 at the local car boot with around 40 games. Had a little play on it this morning and started making me think about all of the classic games I spent hours on that have been consigned to history.

 

Particularly, does anybody remember this beaut?

Poor quality video (the other on YT seemed to be the PS1 version) but the memories are clear as ever. I still think its the most enjoyable football game i've ever played. I look at the crock of shite pro evo's served up on the new generation and dispair!

 

And now for my favourite ever game and easily the best game in history

I fucking love the DKC titles. It saddens me that we'll probably never see this level of creativity in gaming again.

 

Anybody got any other classic video games they miss?

[VladimirIlyich]

Tomb Raider,Brian Lara Cricket,Colin McRae Rally,Pro Evolution Soccer,were all brilliant.

More of a computer platform game, but I adored Sensible Soccer and especially the Sensible World Of Soccer title (SWOS), but it had to be the Amiga version as my Zipstick was the best joystick I've ever owned.

 

Moving between countries at a whim and finding gems to take from some unknown country you've managed in before and turned them into a superstar in Italy or Spain.

 

I would buy an Amiga now just to play that game again with the Zipstick.

Most classic games are now available courtesy of emulators.

 

I recently downloaded over 65 gigs worth of Arcade classics (found I'm still shit at Kung Fu Master).

 

Practically all the Amiga games are available if you look on the internet, same with C64, Speccy etc.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Best footy game I ever played was International Superstar Soccer 2 on the N64.

 

Best game I ever played was Skool Daze on the Speccy or Zelda : Ocarina of Time on the N64.

 

Favourite console was the Atari 2600.

 

Best joystick was the Kempston for the Spectrum.

I'm a technical retard I can't get my head around emulators shame really as I really want to play wings.

Exactly. Over the years my PSP has been home to all the NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy (Advance), Mega Drive and PS1 classics I could ever want.

 

I stick to the PC when emulating my childhood Amiga 600 favourites though: The Chaos Engine, Lemmings 2, Lethal Weapon, The Humans, Superfrog, Syndicate etc. all deserve the keyboard and mouse treatment.

Emulators blow. The only way to play old games is on the original system.

Beat flight combat game ever! One of the guys at my first job would bring his amiga up to the office and we'd play that all day when the boss was out of town.

This. Fucking loved SWOS.

[Walton Park]

Add Cannon Fodder on the Amiga.

 

I used to love 'The Boss', 'Tracksuit manager' on the Spectrum 64k and also 'On the Bench'- all Footy management games.

 

Kick Off 2 on the Amiga as well.

Hmmmm, nothing like the smell of old electronics!

[Reacher]

The New Zealand Story was boss.

 

 

Lemming, everybody loved that.

 

I got bought two games that a lot of people never heard of or played. Some of you guys probably will have though.

 

Did anyone play midnight resistance or gods? Two of the best games I've ever played in the twenty three years of gaming.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I miss snake being young. They turn him into an old fuck and promote the transsexual raiden.

 

I have no fucking clue what the hell was going on in any of the metal gear series, some kind of cloning super soldier DNA shit fox compound..... Fuck knows.

Gerron to you with your 64k. Who do you think you are rolling up here with that kind of power? You make me sick! Anyway, the Speccy 48k was where it was at.

 

Oh and New Zealand story for the Amiga was boss. As was Zool.

I think you can still play SWOS. Some clever people update the teams with current players.

Betrayal at Krondor, what a great fucking game. I replayed that a couple of years ago, still brilliant. You can find it on TPB.

[coop]

Anyone remember Striker on both the speccy or the c64.

 

Used to love that game sat waiting for the music to chime to tell you you had a chance to score only for it to put it on an impossible angle.

 

The bastard.

[setreal]

I miss really good local co-op games that you can play through in an hour or two with a mate. Like Bubble Bobble or Golden Axe for example.

[ChrisM]

Both on the Amiga 500

 

 

[Chairman Meow]

Good call Alien Breed was great.

 

Anyone remember the Chaos Engine on Amiga too? The Bitmap Brothers some other quality games, as well as the Chaos Engine, Xenon and the two Speedball games. I have the Speedball 2 port for the PS3, it's good but doesn't seem quite as frantic and high paced as the original.

 

There's loads of old games I still love could go on for hours.

 

Edit: The Bomberman franchise on Amiga as well. Four way multiplayer, massively frustrating but great fun in a dead simple idea. Also have the PS3 version of that but it doesn't get much online play unfortunately.
