Oh, Man Overboard, LOVING your retro collection! I'm very out of touch with modern games (although I do occasionally play them), I'm much more at home discussing the endless classics on Nintendo's old systems, Atari, Sega Master System, Gameboy, etc....or even better, those wonderful old Sierra Games like Kings Quest, Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc!

I've thought about starting a Vintage/Retro games thread!

Please do! I'd contribute like nobody's business! My favorite games are on NES/Gameboy/SNES/N64/GBA/DS/3DS... and DOS classics! Of course, I'm well rounded with a decent enough dabbling in Sony's stuff (I've got something like 70 PS2 games), but Nintendo and classic PC gaming is where my heart lies... Big smile

Pretty much the same for most FPS I play, actually.

This is my most favorite 3D shooter of all time, and you may know this one already, especially if you were born in the early 90's. 




Meat, flesh, occultism, extraordinary weapons, and a great variety of oddball, creepy-ass adversaries.

This is a very good, informative review about the game:

Played this game YEARS ago. 1:46 - "MA-na-NA-na-NA" - I still remember that one. LOL

Heavy Gear.

Amazing game. Great gameplay, great design, great concept thought out to the bits, great landscapes. Just  Thumbs Up



You've got a view on the status of your target (as well as your own). Green - you are cool, yellow - get outta there. red - you are a dead man walking:


Oh, I haven't seen that weapon in my whole life Ermm :


There are plenty of other cool images but I'm gonna save the rest of the trouble of finding them for you.

Some gameplay of some Polish (probably) dude:

Ahh, Heavy Gear. I still have my Heavy Gear 2 disc around here somewhere. Hell of a game. Haven't figured out how to make it run on 7, though. Cry

^ I have such hard time getting the first installment to run on my win7 laptop. "This file is missing". But it's a file I can't find on the web! ... [sigh] ... I'll have to look into it again and see how I can remedy this issue.

Fortunately, that's not the case with another nostalgic favorite of mine ... which will roll by soon. Stay tuned.

I am, too, and I agree.  It's still stellar compared to today's games, although the controls took a little bit to get used to again since I had just stopped playing Infinite.  Otherwise, it's nice to visit Rapture once again. 


Story's pretty sound and some of the visuals are glorious (and maybe the best start to a shooter since HL-2 came out), shame they didn't really do anything with the free-roaming gameplay aside from making you backtrack every now and then - I honestly thought 2 was better designed from that angle. Also, the original the laziest final boss.
