Has anyone ever played...

[Thy_Dungeonman]

As a kid I played a crapload of really old DOS games... most of which nobody has ever heard of :\

For example, has anyone ever heard of: Commander Keen, Quest for Glory (aka Hero's Quest), King's Quest, Space Quest, Startropics (which was actually an NES game), or Sam & Max: Freelance Police?

[lightdarkness]

Never played any of those games
but does anyone remember a treasure hunt game on a mountain with 3 levels and presents?/ whats the name?

[makaveli121212]

[ZEROED]

OH OH OH OH! The one with Master Mischeif? The one with the eskimo guy as the hero? That one???




Forgot what it was called. :lol:

Anyways, has anyone played Uplink, for the PC? That game rocks hard.

[Thy_Dungeonman]

TREASURE MOUNTAIN!!!
And yes I've also played Monster Bash and a long list of other apogee games such as Biomenace, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Major Stryker, ad some others that I can't remember...

www.agdinteractive.com

They've made VGA remakes of the first two King's Quest games and they're working on a remake for Quest for Glory 2.

[Lupin_the_3rd]

Good DOS game: descent. It just owned

[Thy_Dungeonman]

ooh just remembered another one
Has anyone ever played Alien Carnage?

[Omeganitros]

Anyone remember DOOM? Wolf3D kicked off the genre, but if it wasnt for DOOM and it's "Kill everything that moves" gothic theme, we wouldnt have the awesome Quake 3 or UT(/2003/2004) of today.

God bless DOOM.

[Anticrombie0909]

DOOM kicked off the FPS genre, you silly silly boy. It was FPS. There was nothing before it. That game was so amazingly revolutionary that it was probably the most revolutionary game...EVER. Plus, that game is HARD...anybody every played it?

[Krym]

Startropics!!!! Startropics!!!! Startropics!!!! my dad got that for me when nes was out ah im gettin nostalgic again

[Thy_Dungeonman]

Who hasn't played DOOM? Seriously.
I still remember some of the cheat codes:

IDDQD - god mode
IDDT - Map
IDSPISPOPD - no clipping in DOOM
IDCLIP - No clipping in DOOM 2
IDKFA - Guns, ammo, & keys

That's all I can remember
And by the way, Startropics is the best game.
Ever.

[Thy_Dungeonman]

The name of the game is Treasure Mountain. I don't know if my random shouting made that clear to anyone, so there's some clarification.
While I'm here, has anyone ever heard of Treasure Mountain?

[Thy_Dungeonman]

Oops, sorry, that quote was by lightdarkness by the way.
My bad.

[Omeganitros]

I used to play it ALL THE TIME in kiddie school. It took 3 years worth of computer lab time, but I FINALLY finished it in 5th grade. It was a success of legendary magnitude amongst the students.

[Feuergeist]

Space Quest :woot:

[Omeganitros]

Tell me of this Space Quest...

[Thy_Dungeonman]

Space Quest was an old-school EGA game that used the AGD interface (type what you want to do) created by Sierra in the (correct me if I'm wrong) late 80s. It was about a space janitor named Roger Wilco, whose ship is taken over by these aliens with lasers. You have to escape the ship and save the universe. It was quite a hilarious game with numerous ways to die, each funnier than the last. They remade it in, I believe, 1990 with an advanced point and click interface and VGA graphics. There was also 6 other games as well as a fan creation that explains te time in between Space Quest 3 & 4 called The Lost Chapter.

[Omeganitros]

Sounds kinda like Monkey Island In Space (thats a good thing in my mind). I will give this game a try.

[Thy_Dungeonman]

Monkey Island is made by LucasArts, which you probably already know
They made a few awexome games too (including Monkey Island) such as Sam and Max and Day of the Tentacle and some other games that I can't remember.

[Omeganitros]

Anyone ever play Jazzy Jackrabbit? One of the best side-scrolling shooters EVAR.

[Thy_Dungeonman]

I've played it. There were thousands of side-scroller shooters back in the day. Another one that I can remember know is Hocus Pocus that was a pretty fun game.

DOOM 3 is coming out real soon, I hope it'll be as good as the first few.

[Patricoo]

Anyone remember Sticky Bear? That math man tought me for AGES.

[AasumDude]

i remember OS/2 games like the one where the guy pushes the boxes in the squares. that game was good...does anyone remember the name of it though?

[spikepd2001]

I loved commander keen, im trying to find it to put on my old slow 333 mhz P2. if anyone knows where to get it, tell me!!

[Squeek]

I also had Commander Keen. I beat it but hated the ending...it's like, "Buy the next one Ohsnap!".

What about all those learning games and such? Some of them were actually fun. I cannot even remember the names, but one involved running around and taking part in spelling bees and such, and another involved collecting bunches of items and taking them to the top of this really big tower...and when you do it adds one to your library and you fall all the way down to start over again. That's really vague...

There was also this Concentration-like game where after removing all the pieces you had to guess what the background message was saying. It was one of those where there's pictures and plus signs to add the words the pictures made together... Vagueness again. This is impossible to put into words.

Terminal Velocity... ah that was one of my favs, it was like a flight sim but it was way in the future. I used to run Warcraft 2 in DOS, does that count? I also loved Descent, it had some great fun in a rather odd package. Descent was truly ahead of its time. But my ultimate favorites are the first two Ultimas for the NES also kicked ass no matter where they were. The first was Exodus and the second was Quest of the Avatar. They were great on the NES but were also good DOS games as well. As a matter of fact im trying to make a sequel to Quest of the Avatar myself. Tenatively titled The Path of the Avatar, it will follow the eight charachters right after the original as they continue to try and vanquish all evil from Britannia. Excuse the off topic rant but I loved that game and really want to make my sequel in a hurry.

[CrystalHahn]

I used to play zork. I did play Startropics. That game owns for an NES game! :o

[suicidalmuskrat]

haha star tropics did rule...except for about the 2 years inbetween getting the game and having internet access...for that puzzle where ya had to put the instruction booklet in water or somethin crazy like that which i didn't have access to....and doom being the most influential game or whatever? hmm...i smell thread...

[SuperLuigiBro]

Commander Keen and King's Quest are great series. KQ5 is one of the best, and KQ6 will haunt your life forever (that goddamn door with the face scared me and I could never sleep again).

[nickadeemus]

I used to play a lot of old DOS games. Zephyr was some really crappy futuristic flying car-shooting game, and my favorite FPS other than DOOM was Rise of the Triad. Anyone ever play that game? I've never heard of anyone else who has, it was pretty gory--and fun.

[Kenzya]

i remember OS/2 games like the one where the guy pushes the boxes in the squares. that game was good...does anyone remember the name of it though?

Sounds like Sokoban.

[LadyLavender]

Never played any of those games

Treasure Mountain? Isn't that for like 1st graders?

[Thy_Dungeonman]

Treasure Mountain is for people of all ages...
But the puzzles are incredibly easy and require no thought whatsoever,
And I guess the gameplay does get repetitive, but you know...
