Back in the day I liked old school RPGs ... the Ultima Series, the Bard's Tale series, Wasteland ... and IF. Anything that could tell a really good story and make me part of it in the game.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Interactive Fiction isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's worth trying out some of the top ranked games just to get a feel for how interactivity and good story-telling can go hand in hand, if you've never tried them. (Everything you need to do it you can get from here.)

I live for the day when FPS's can do as good a job integrating the two; DX is the only one that even approached it, but is still way off from the potential.

I can't remember most of the games from the Atari system I had in the early 80's. But for the C64 there were The Last ninja series, the first game I think was the first to use Isometric design. It was a good adventure game too. Impossible Mission was cool too. I had that C64 joystick recently that had loads of games on it including Impossible Mission 1 and 2. Though I still enjoyed them, they weren't as cool as I remember from my youth. International Karate and IK+ were cool, and way of the Exploding FIst and Fist II. Bionic Commandos was cool, Summer Games, Winter games...

 

The old Zelda games were cool. I used to like those text adventure games too on the VIC 20. The Eye of the Beholder games were excellent too. They were better FP games for me then Doom etc.

 

Tenchu was good as was the original Metal Gear Solid game. Resident Evil 1 was cool. I still remember the shock of seeing the first Zombie. It was great finding the stuff to solve puzzles etc. However that back and forwards gameplay got tiring after the first 3 games. I had really played them to death anyway especially number 2.

 

The Ocarina of Time is simply one of the best games ever made. Mario 64 was cool too as was Mario Golf.

I remember loving Spy vs Spy on C64, setting traps to kill the white spy, hehe

 

 

My brother loved that game :D

 

I forgot to say that in Res Evil 1, when the dog jumps through the window the first time you walk down the corridor, I jumped off my chair :D

 

Have you got that C64 joystick waith all the games on it sparhawk? They have Impossible Mission 1 &2 on it.

I have seen it in a local store. Quite a funny idea. :) But I haven't bought it, because it was to expensive. 25 Euro is more than I would like to pay for that. Especially since the choice of the games included were not what I would like to play so much. Space Invaders and the like.

Would be intersting if it were possible to change the games to something more interesting. :)

Not too long ago I finally discovered the world of C64 emulation and finally got to play some games I literally hadn't seen in well over a decade. I was struck how much they still have their magic, and found it quite natural to fall back into playing some of my old favorites.

Thanks for that link, Vadrosaul. I loved Another World and Future Wars for the Amiga 500. It was cool to read some of the history. And now I shall install the demo...

I bought the key file for the full version. Well worth the $10. If anyone wants and cannot purchase due to Euro requirements, give me a holler

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
