Old School/Retro Gaming: What are You Playing?

OLS · 02-02-2012, 06:44 AM

I played "LION" the other day again, that game is cool. It is as hard to hunt and catch prey as it must be for a
real lion. What I need to find a way to make work is Crusader: No Remorse, but I need to access areas of my brain
that I haven't used in over ten years, in order to make a boot disc that will work. I can't just pop it in and play it.
I used to be able to work MSDOS with no trouble, navigating directories, typing in commands, making boot discs.
Now, pfft. Forget it. I also need to break out Nascar Racing. Wow, what a game that was. As was Falcon 4.0 (F-16 sim)
I would spend entire weekends just trying to master landing without crashing. Not easy at all. I also would spend
equal amount's of time with F-14 Tomcat II trying to land it on a carrier. I am just not good at adding power and
taking away power to maintain that glide path.

That was an awesome game at the time, I loved the top down perspective. Between that & Doom, it was probably the game that helped get my son (23) hooked on PC gaming. I'm not sure how it was programmed, but you can't get that thing to run on any other OS, at least I haven't been able to.

Another retro-game I would love to get to work is the original X-com. I can't tell you how many hours I played on that when it came out. Man, that was almost 20 years ago, holy crap.
