Beginning of last of us part 1.

Mr_Blott, do games w What were your top favorite video games as a kid?

Anyone said Worms 2 yet?

Fuckin hell, that was hilarious while stoned as fuck.

Don’t think they ever surpassed that one

TheGreenGolem,

Armageddon and World Party were pretty decent.

Warcraft 3, Age Series (AoE, AoE2, AoM, AoE3), Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005)

I played the first age of empires when I was 6 or 7 y/o and I’ve played all of the games besides AoE4 (including Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds).

As a kid we had few crappy dell computers connected to just a hub (LAN without internet) and would play a lot of Age of Empires 2 and C&C Red Alert 1 & 2 multiplayer.

Age of Empires and Red Alert were also games I would frequently play at small LAN parties (although everyone was really bad)

I played a bit of online AoE2 when AoE2 HD came out on steam but it was pretty bad so I stopped playing it. When DE came out I started watching AoE2 content but I’ll never play it because I’ve come to greatly dislike Microsoft over the years.

I’ve replayed Need for Speed Most Wanted (and also Carbon) tens of times over the years, and I still play it every now and then (with mods now)

But the game I’ve played the most is probably Warcraft 3. I’ve played a ton of custom games on Battle.net (RIP) and it’s what got me a bit into programming since I liked making custom maps and making triggers eventually led me to learn JASS (Just Another Scripting Language)

If Blizzard didn’t completely ruin Warcraft 3 with WC3 Reforged Refunded I’d probably still be playing it and making custom maps every so often.

I have played a bit on private servers but it’s just not the same anymore.

There’s a pretty cool Warcraft 3 open source project called Warsmash though so maybe one day I’ll start playing again.

I forgot all about Age of Empires. I used to play the shit out of AoE 1 and 2 and also cossacks European wars and rise of nations.

MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat

The Remembrance speaks to us on the evil of man’s will, of the reasons for Exodus, and the Rites of the Traveler. Arcadia is our destiny and our right. Enlightenment is our gift. By the Bloodnames of the founders we must return, return and protect that which is unique among the stars. Terra awaits us as it was written. We are the last of the Wardens, the sole hope for the Earth.

Wolves still prowl

Become warden, help to protect the word.

I still have the Clan wolf propaganda flyer the game came with and it turned into a lifelong hobby, I’m still making my way through all the Battletech novels.

AngryCommieKender,

House Davion was the first house I fought for on the SNES

garretble, do games w Chex Quest - Download & Play Our Classic Game - Chex Mix
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

Back in the day, I installed Chex Quest on our computer and then tried to uninstall it later on. The base files were removed, but the PC always showed a listing for that game in the Add/Remove Applications section.

The ghost of Chex Quest haunted that PC until we moved on from it.

Ecksell, do games w I am returning my Playstation Portal

Bad troll, 2/10 (2 since it was written decently I guess). Now the real question is, Why don’t I have a downvote button?

Carighan, do games w SteamWorld Build - Review Thread
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

I tried the demo months ago, and this is one of my big hype games for December.

It’s so relaxed! And on top of that, it oozes style the same way the other Steamworld games do. And it sounds like they added a whole lot to it.

Ok_imagination,

Awesome! Love to hear it!

Well, in early 90s it was NES games: Darkwing Duck, Super Contra 6, Robocop 4, Battle city. Then, in lately 90s it was PC games: Half-Life, Warcraft 2.

Teodomo, do games w What are some active game journalists/critics/industry commentators on Mastodon?

I already checked the list someone shared in some other thread, but many of the accounts that cover games there are inactive.

steeznson,

As an adult I’ve looped back around to the DS. Never really appreciated it as a young teenager but it has an amazing library. Ace Attorney and Devil Survivor have racked up a lot of play time from me in the past few years.

MrScottyTay,

Yeah I’m currently playing the DS at the moment after getting a DSi recently. Trying to play some that I didn’t know about as a kid like Hotel Dusk

  • Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, still the single best computer gaming representation of an epic D&D campaign, edging out even Baldur’s Gate 1-3 in my opinion.
  • Ultima 7: an RPG built around the goal of immersing the player completely into the game world, eschewing any straightforward gameplay loops. If only the Ultima series had continued going strong, like the Elder Scrolls, rather than fizzling out with 8 and 9…

IDK if you know, but Ultima IV is free on gog.com always... with V and VI being super cheap as well.

https://www.gog.com/en/game/ultima_4

Have you seen MoonRing? It was released like.. weeks ago. It's very Ultima inspired game from one of the original devs on Fable.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2373630/Moonring/

Oh... and it's free as well.

@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

Cool, did not know about U4 on GOG. Thanks for that.

And yes. I have MoonRing now. Someone posted it here on kbin/lemmy a couple/few weeks ago.

Edit: a word
