I have to say, Challenge of the Ancient Empires was THE best game I've EVER played.
**EDIT:
Anyone ever play One Must Fall? Great game...
There's supposed to be a new one somewhere, which looks *really* cool too...
**EDIT2:
Ooh ooh, and Excelsior.. loved that game, so simple yet so detailed and so addictive..
**EDIT3:
And can't forget Command Keen!

Wow One Must Fall, that takes me back, I loved that game too. Simple and a bit silly, but man was it fun. It does look like it is coming out, at some point lol, hopefully soon.
Actually, the site says it's out already.. but the link for it is broken. Apparently it sells/sold in EB?
EDIT: A look on the forums shows that it's dead already. *sigh*, maybe I can find a copy elsewhere...

Wow that sucks, oh well, it may surface some day again.
Yes commander keen was a good old one, addictive, yet silly at the same time.
I never got how everyone remembers OMF 2097 but no one remembers the original.

I too, enjoyed programming on the Apple II. In fact, I had an Apple IIc and a Apple IIgs. But they both slowly broke down, and I had to give them away....... And I remember that book! It was so awesome. I read it when I was about 8 years old, and that began my programming craze.......miss the first book on programming I ever read. I have no idea what it was called, it was a little tan hardcover with blue foil writing. It was full of Apple BASIC programs with little descriptions. I checked it out of the elementary school library, and entered them into my mom's Apple IIc+. I had no idea what the lines meant at the time, so debugging was impossible. I think I only got one of them to work. :sniff: :sniff: I wonder what happened to that old computer...
I miss the origional Prince of Persia!

Echo. Actually, the only reason I heard of OMF 2097 was because it came on a CD of around 50-100 shareware games, none of which was the original.Because that was the only one I could find.

Ah yes, and let us not forget The Incredible Machine (2). Hours of inventive fun

Hehe. Brings back memories doesn't it?
Glorious... graphics!
That's how we used to look at it back then. And the sprites movement was nothing short of revolutionary. What a great game! Could never finish it though.
Never was much into action games. Always liked RPG, turn-based strategy and war games, more. Ancient Art of War started me on it as the early Pool of Radiance for RPGs.

Elite
Wolfenstein
Pool of Radiance. (This game was huge at about 2Mb.)
MechWarrior (The very first one in 16 colours)
But lets not go back to the days of boot disks and floppie disk changes mid game.

PC games didn't get good 'til Tribes and AoE.
Sure, there were a few exceptions (Quake, Doom),
but they generally sucked.
The real cool games were on consoles. Oh yeah.
Staying away from General.
Of course you never played Load Runner, Diablo, Metroid, Contra, Sim City, Theme Park, Neuromancer, X-Com: Ufo Defense, Bionic Command.. etc, etc, etc... All included in many lists of the best games of all times.
Just to name a few. The list gets long.

> Bionic Command.
Bionic Commando was NES only, wasn't it?
