JackbyDev, do gaming w Need help with pico-8

Pretty sure you drag it to pico 8 to open it. The game is in the image. Then once it is loaded you can save how you’d like.

Quake 3.

Pure, unbridled, FPS action.

I am not sure if tfc (team fortress classic) still has servers running in any capacity, but it was one of the forefathers of role based, team shooters. It’s influence and by proxy TF2’s is still huge in competitive gaming.

Those games defined my late teens and early 20’s.

I would heartily recommend Worms 2

Spend an hour or two tweaking everything to the max, without disintegrating the entire map with one banana, then a couple of hours of practice, and you’ve got the ultimate party game

Worms: Armageddon

USSEthernet, (edited ) do gaming w Gamers Above 30, What Older Games Would You Still Recommend to Younger Gamers?

These would have to be my top ones.

NES:

  1. Super Mario 3
  2. Duck hunt (with original guns)

SNES:

  1. Zelda a link to the past
  2. Mega man X
  3. Chrono trigger
  4. Super Mario world
  5. Super Mario kart (with friends)
  6. Earthworm Jim
  7. Starfox

GB: Pokémon red, blue, or yellow

GBA: Zelda minish cap

N64: Zelda ocarina of time

ChapulinColorado,

For duck hunt, you need a CRT television to play the light gun games for those that don’t know. More modern systems like the Wii got around this by using a light sensor that measured infrared light from the controllers to get a similar control scheme as an option.

The Donkey Kong remake on the GameBoy is still one of my favorites and an amazing puzzle platformer!

wizardbeard,

Don’t miss out on Mario Vs. Donkey Kong (GBA, with a recent Switch remake). It’s the psuedo-sequel. The sequels to it though are completely different gameplay styles, unfortunately.

Here is my list:

*Final Fantasy Tactics

*Devil May Cry

*Resident Evil

*Nightmare Creatures

*Psych - Ops

*Legend of Zelda (SNES)

*Tetrishpere

*Portal 2

There are many I am forgetting from age. But those are the highlights.

ObsidianZed,

Many many many hours in computers class in grade school was lost to this game. Best game of what I only found out later to be a series.

Star control 2

jj4211,

You can get that free as Ur Quan Masters that has been ported to modern operating systems, with optional new renditions of the music that are pretty good.

Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers

It is a puzzle game like Myst but the puzzles make more sense, less like rubbing 2 coconuts on everything until they fit, and the world has more life to it.

The sheer amount of games available today probably makes it hard to get into many of the older gems. Hell, even I have a 30 year backlog.

I think everyone should explore:

  • The Secret of Monkey Island (1, 2 and return)
  • Loom
  • Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
  • Street Rod
  • Prince of Persia
  • The Incredible Machine
  • Pokémon yellow/red/blue
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Worms
  • Mega Man II
  • TMNT: Turtles in Time
  • Diablo II
  • Burnout 3/legends/takedown
  • Skyrim

Crono Trigger is a real gem for an early SNES RPG. Highly recommend.

msage,

There are so many ‘Prince of Persia’ games that you need to add a year to be more specific.

HarriPotero,
@HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

So they finally made a sequel?

I’m thinking about the 1989 version. There’s many ports, but DOS/Amiga/Macintosh are all good. Even the C64 port is great.

mrvictory1,

Would you recommend a ssoecific Worms game for PC? I have “Worms” (that’s the whole game title) on PS3 which has modern 2D graphics but idk which edition to get on Steam to get a similar experience, there are so many games.

HarriPotero,
@HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

Just Worms that got all the ports.

I haven’t tried the 2007 version that you speak of, but it might be good. I’ve played a couple of rounds of WMD on my switch, and as I recall the gameplay was similar.

Of course, you need one or three friends in your couch to pass the controller around to to get the full experience.

I still think Metal Gear Solid 1,2, and 3 hold up very well in terms of story and gameplay. The controls take a bit of getting used to, if you're used to how modern games play, but once you get the hang of it they are really an experience.

MGS 1 was my first mature rated game, and I actually managed to stumble my 8 or 9 year old way through a decent portion of the game with no idea what I was doing before my mother threw it away (claiming I must have done something with it, which I never got punished for so I don’t think my dad believed)

When I was a teenager, the second one came out and I was hooked after playing the tanker level, even though I didn’t get to play as Snake.

Honestly I think 1&2 are the ones you really need to get used to. 3 has some wonky sections as the camera changes angles, but for the most part it’s pretty close to “modern action/rpg”

I feel like the only time I ever hear people talking about this series is in the context of memes like Revolver Ocelot (Revolver Ocelot). The games really don’t get enough love.

After all these years, Flatout series (made by Bugbear) just got new updates: workshop support, steam cards etc. some devs are just different and rare in today’s gaming world.

jj4211,

The biggest drawback that may offset the enjoyment of a lot of the 90s JRPG are the random encounters, and the “wait for bars to fill” systems that makes nothing happen for long periods of time by either side.
