I remember playing Lost Coast and remarking about how neat HDR made stuff look.
I think I played this on the Vextrex. It’s either Bedlam or Asteroids.
While we are on the subject of graphics, to put into perspective the power of a GPU manufactured in 2024, imagine everyone on earth performing a maths sum every second, then imagine there are 4000 earths with everyone performing a calculation every second. Crazy huh.
Morrowind
Indeed, years after the release of Asteroids ('79) it became available as Mine Storm on the Vectrex console ('83 in the EU) as a built-in game. A good friend of mine owned one of those consoles. Like me he was one of the first hour players of the original in our favorite pub, main reason why he purchased one. Good times were had.
Something I have not seen here:
Chrono trigger, for SNES
Pokemon red, for Gameboy
Elite, for C64
Unreal, for PC
Master of Orion 2, also PC
I very much like playing
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
and
Red Dead Redemption
Nope, not cheating … You can find some great emulators of this pinball machine (and lots of others) to play on the PC, or even build a dedicated machine (some are spectacular).
This is one that I used to play a lot - not the original pinball machine itself, those were quite rare to begin with.
How could they wreck the MoO franchise the way they did, it’s something I don’t really understand. Now I know that this kind of things happen regularly (just ask the fans of Kerbal Space), but back in the time was it a serious trip down to WTF land.
I liked
Lords of the Realm
Grand Theft Auto
Metal Gear Solid
Homeworld
Galactic Civilizations
Sins of a Solar Empire
Couldn’t play many games though cause I was working like crazy. I don’t like any of today’s games.
EVE Online is alright for a couple hours a day.
Yeah I know what you’re talking about. I felt a similar passion for an Amiga game called Kick Off 2 in the early 90s. Me and a friend used to have such compettitive games whch resulted in anger and argument, I remember his mum having to tell us to shut up
other Amiga games of that Era,
Elite 2
Indy Heat
Super Cars
Lemmings
Test Drive
Turbo Raketti (2 player, small pixel graphics, 2 spaceships with a choice of weapon fight with an overhead view like Mine Storm)
Too many to mention, but epic fun times had with friends.
