[Technology] Favourite computer/video games (whatever) ?

[jcdenton08]

Ah, a man of taste!

One of the first games I played was Police Quest 2. Loved point and clock after that.

There's a load of good contemporary ones too. Technobabylon is worth a run through and I've been eyeing up The Excavation of Hob's Barrow for a while as well.

Technobabylon was superb!!!

How appropriate, you fight like a cow

You have the manners of a beggar

You have the manners of a beggar

I just wanted to make you feel comfortable! (I think)

Every enemy I’ve met I’ve annihilated!

RDR2 (as previously cited) is f*cking A

You may have discerned that I like open world games.

Sonic 2
Goldeneye
Pro Evo Soccer 2 & 4
Final Fantasy VII
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Pokemon Red - playing this on the original brick Game Boy, loved it

[Algernon]

What's this one?

Defender.
Play from 6:17 to get an idea how tricky it was.

 

[SkirlieWirlie]

Manic Miner, ZX Spectrum 48k. Never been into anything much since.

 

[Jackthelad]

I recently got one of those consoles that play both SNES & Mega Drive games to introduce to my son. Just having the old cartridges is so cool. I forgot how fun these games were.

Smash TV, Super Punchout, International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, oh the memories.

 

[AstroSloth]

Nobody's mentioned my favourite: DOTA 2

Other than that it would have to be the Soulsborne games (Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring), Football Manager and Pokémon.

 

[Berty23]

Me and my mates who I played cod with during covid all downloaded it tonight and played a couple of hours. We are still crap. My 16 year old lad joined us and got more kills than the rest of us put together. We had a blast. Good to be back in vedensk but we are just crap.

 

[HyperTony]

Vice City
San Andreas
Burger time
Bubble Bobble
Splatterhouse (1/2)

[Madafwo]

All my favourites bar one or two have been mentioned. Skyrim I could play forever, smashed both of the Horizon's over Christmas and new year, Red Alert (many a fun hour editing the rules.ini file and changing the attacks of the dogs to be Tesla Coils at short range and Cruiser rounds at long range.) and Goldeneye (no Oddjobs).

Two that I haven't seen, or may have missed. Total Annihilation and Diablo 2/3 (can't decide between the two).

 

[Anger]

my username gives away my favourite (and, in my opinion, greatest narrative game of all time).

I always thought it was your name. Which just goes to prove I is not a gamer.

Number Invaders would be my pick (available on the Casio MG880 calculator ‘platform’).
Then Asteroids.
Then Tetris.
Then Pong.

I is very old skool.

 

[Klaas]

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Although I have spent many more hours on TOTK the experience of exploring Hyrule for the first time in BOTW just edges it for me. Prior to that Ocarina of Time was probably my favourite game.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Big Paradox fan here...The kings of the Grand strategy genre

Hearts of Iron 5
Victoria 2 & 3
Crusader Kings series

I’ve lost literally weeks of my life to the above!

 

[boik]

Haven't played computer games since I sold my Atari Jaguar, but Alien v Predator and Tempest 2000 were fun on that.
