Going back to the Classics

This might not be directed toward everyone, but back then, what was your favorite game? Going way back when there were floppy disks, I'd have to say even now that my favorite would probably be Number Munchers. It was a simple game, but the animations done on those for the Windows 98 were so comedic, I laugh even now thinking about them. Does anyone else have their classics? I'm fairly sure someone would have to put in Doom, or even Roller Coaster Tycoon. :)

The Oregon Trail of course! All of characters in my group would eventually end up dying. I don't think I ever won a game.

Haha, I remember hearing about that game back when I was in grade school. The only thing I remembered was some character getting dyssentery during the trip, but I never did manage to get to play the game, though I would definitely like to try it.

Absolutely, Oregon Trail! I remember being able to play that in grade school as well. Such a fun game.

You haven't played a computer game yet? You're missing out.. a lot of games today are very high resolution and essentially requires high-end computers to play them, but even games that have been at least ten years old are still addicting and fun. I personally wouldn't recommend World of Warcraft, because that game literally destroys peoples' lives. A game you might want to try however that I'd recommend would probably be Command and Conquer : Red Alert 2. It's a Real-Time Strategy where you command units to destroy the enemy.

I don't like computer games but I remember a very old Indiana Jones running on an Amiga computer without hard disk. You had to go through several places and find the right way to...? I don't remember the treasure. We never fount it. The game had a bug and it wasn't possible to make a save after several hours of trying. So the next day we had to start from the beginning.

Hi Fannitia Your post reminded me of other great stuff on Amiga such as Simon the Sorcerrer and Dungeon Master.
