Poll: What's your favorite PC gaming ERA?

[Killbat]

Vote on, my brothers.

 

[ltk007]

Amiga during the late 80s early 90s. When Sierra ruled the adventure/rpg genre with the Quest series(es?).

 

[shiznut123]

I loved WOLF!!!

 

[TheVrolok]

Woo ltk007! Couldn't have said it any better. Those games ruled, and continue to do so... Space Quest, Kings Quest, Quest for Glory, etc. All of 'em have like at minimum 5 games each, and all rock, from the horrible vga graphics and console to the nice 3d'ish look of Quest for Glory V! Go Sierra!

space quest and of course the leisure suit larry series
monkey island was a classic too
but my favorite days were the c64 days

 

[prodigy]

Commodore 64 days. I can't even remember how many games I had on those floppys.

I especially like the time when Dune2 and Civilization was out...I think that was just a little after the wolf era.

 

[iamwiz82]

i have to say the microprose era, with colinization, civilization, silent service, railroad tycoon. Basically, anything sid meier did.

I actually have a fond rememberance of those early 4 color games. My two favorites on my atari 800 were crush crumble and chomp and temple of apshai.

When I look at a game like diablo where it has slicked up graphics, but in reality all you do is click your mouse button ten-thousand times to complete the game, I miss the ones where you still had to use your own imagination.

I have to say now. Nothing compares with the immersion of online 3D MMORPG gaming for me. In the past I was really enthralled with the Ultima series, the old Infocom text games that I used to play on my Atari ST, and 2 games by FTL: Sundog The Frozen Legacy and DungeonMaster.

Yeah I loved my commorode 64 too! I ould leave it up all night to dload a full floppy of games and play them like crazy. i had boxes and boxes of floppys with a notch cut in them to make them double sided! Remember the Epix 500xj joystick? Man that was a great conroller

 

[Modeps]

you forgot to include the sierra adventure game era. kings quests, space quests, etc. the older ones, where you had to type in what you wanted to do...

also the ultima7 era... (all 4 parts of it)

 

[ArkAoss]

yeah the sierra era, (monkey island included in it) or the c&c era was pretty good. oh the classics.....

 

[SmiZ]

I had a 1.04 with my pitcher in Sammy Sosa's high heat baseball.......



*hope somebody gets this

 

[dabuddha]

i remember my favorite game for the c64
teenage mutant ninja turtles!
that thing took at least 5 minutes just to load if not more
for my XT it was Double Dragon

 

[Raspewtin]

Without doubt it would be Apple II era - Dig Dug, Spy Hunter, Moon Patrol (?), Burger Time, plus many many more
