Not compared to the stuff I asked 🙂

Edit: Doh, mixed up X-Com with another game, can't remember what that was called (you were walking around with a group of soldiers and had to search for aliens to kill or capture, had to capture their weapons and technology, and had to watch out for their mindcontrol)

I remember that game as well....hmm I think I still have it. Its an EA game, that's for sure; did you guys ever figure out the name? It was part text-based and your squad were little-green dots. There was a space flight element as well; blasting baddies hulls and boarding Raider ships was fun stuff. 😀

Chiz

Edit: I think "Interceptor" was part of the game name...or was that the ship......
 
that was pretty easy...
ROTT was a sweet game. Remeber the hand of god thing? Oh my... that was sweet!

I loved Archon. Kick-ass game. 🙂

This thread makes me feel a bit old, having some kid talk about Wolfenstein 3D being old. I still have my original 5 1/4" floppies of the original Apple IIE Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein.

Old School???

I was thinking you would have questions about Kings Quest and other old Sierra games. The Ultima series, Wing Commander series. This is more like the Old-School FPS Quiz.
 
What's an old school thread without a comment about Scortched Earth!!!

We used to play Scrotch (as we called it) 4 way in college on a 486DX66!

Well, considering I've never been a big fan of FPS I don't know most of those answers. I do consider myself an old-school gamer though based the facts that I started "computer" gaming on a TRS-80 (Tomb of the Pharoah or Pharoah's Tomb, can't remember exact title) and I played a ton of Bard's Tale on my C128....Red Storm Rising (and most Microprose games it seemed) was an awesome game, wish I could find it for my PC.
 
I mostly liked 3d games which is why this test is a 3d oriented one.

If someone wants to create a really really old school 2d or text-game test, go ahead 🙂
