While over at the steam forums I kept thinking about Team Fortress Classic (TFC). While I was thinking about TFC, I thought it would be nice to start a thread about games we played before the year 2000.

If I had to name 3 or 4 computer games that my life was consumed by, those games would probably be:

Doom
Diablo
Quake (and Quakeworld)
Team Fortress Classic

There were lots of other games, such as Half-Life, Warcraft II, Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Redneck Rampage, Diablo II, Quake II, Final Doom, and lots of others.

Those first 4 games probably defined gaming for a whole generation. For years after the release of Doom, all other first person shooters were called "Doom Clones". Doom set a standard that other games were judged by. The same thing went for Diablo and Quake.

I listed Team Fortress Classic because TFC was the second team based game I ever played, with Quake Team Fortress being the first. Quake Team Fortress was fun, but to me, TFC seemed like more fun.

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]This is great! I'm not the only person who used to play these games.

Some of my favorites were:

I remember playing the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert (1996). I rember when the first Doom (1993) and Duke Nukem 3D (1996) games came out. I also remember in 1998 when Half-Life my personal favorite game was released. Then in 1999 when CS came about it was all over for me. It’s been downhill ever since.[/FONT]

I remember another really early low end graphics/text game. I don't remember much about it, but the corridors were green lines in a box. And every once in a while you encountered this elf who "Loved your body" and healed you up. it was one of those endless dungeon type games and I remember each level was progressively tougher. I got down into the 90s once and it was really tough. Balrogs kept on killing me.

Telengard (i think). Thats pretty hard core if you got to the 90s! I was a kid when i played, and never got too far. The elf thing was disturbing to my young mind...

I dont remember being able to save in that either...
