Hey guys!
Thought it could be cool to share your retro games with the rest of us.
I, myself, played a lot of retro games back in the days.
I just downloaded "Mystic Towers", which is an AWESOME game! :P Sadly only had the shareware version back in the days.

If you want the game, send me a message.

Another game I downloaded not too long ago, which is abandonware now, is Abuse.

What games did you play back in the good ol' days? :)

Xenon 2 is my favourite, still have the floppies. Also have a load of other games on floppies under my bed, but they aren't as epic :P

Technically neither of those are retro, but okay, it's allowed when we take your age into consideration. :D

I just remembered I played LOADS of amiga games back in the day.
Games like Superfrog and alot others I can't remember the name of. :(

I played Stunts, alot of shooters like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic, Blake Stone (recently streamed the first campaign on justin.tv :v), Wing Commander 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 :D, Raptor, Commander Keen 1-4 and lots more.
Those were the golden years of PC gaming :patriot:

I played ALOT of those. :D Stunts was damn awesome, same with raptor and Keen of course!..
Awesome that you have played Black Stone. :P I played that a lot as well, but that was a bit later on.
I didn't have any of the Doom/Heretic games, I played them at a friend's house, but he could only play for like 1-2 hours of those games a day, because his parents was afraid that he would turn into a psychopath. :P

Duke Nukem.. Awesome classic! Especially the 2d ones. :3

I also played games like Die Hard.

Haha, isn't it funny how a lot of people played the same games? Since there wasn't that many to choose from.

I remember playing Stunts, and I also remember my dad had to enter some kind of password that consisted of making roads connect to play it, or something. Furthermore, Raptor (awesome music), Flying Tigers (awesome music and 2 player), Doom (I was a pussy so not too much).

True. :P

Hey, do anyone know this game. It's a 2d platform/puzzle, where you are in a sinking submarine, each compartment of the submarine is a separate level, which is one screen, and you have rising water. You need to rescue some doctors or scientists or whatever they are. (White lab coats) And you can use stuff like a life raft or something.

Anyone know the game?

I bet your talking about Sink or Swim. Played it only once or so when i was a kid, lost the cd which had the demo or somth. ;)
Edit:
Remembered another couple of gems: Skyroads, Jetpack; going a bit into the future: Master of Orion 2 and Freespace 2, which has been released OpenSource, anyone up for a dogfight? =D

I also played some game, which my mother later forbade me to play. It was called Burned Rubber or something. You controlled a car, top down view, and you could run over pedestrians and stuff in a parking lot, leaving skidmarks and everything. That was about 12 years ago.

Reminds me of Carmageddon, first time I came in contact with the german censorship was with this game :(
Look at this shit:

Everything killable was replaced by robots
Sep 24, 2010, 11:45 AM#15
YES! That's the one, Blood! :D Sink or Swim! Exactly!

Awesome.. I'm so gonna download it! :P

Also, Jetpack and Carmageddon was awesome.

Anyone played Crazy Taxi? :3
