What Classic Games Have You Played?
With the recent economy being how it is people seem staying indoors a lot these days. Games nowadays are boring. Not much is holding my interest. I got to thinking about a few games that I used to play back in the day. Here is a couple that I still remember.
Does anyone remember a game called MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat published by Activision in 1995? The game is a combat simulation that puts you in a giant walking Battlemech. It involves a war between two clans of the Battle tech universes. I remember playing it during the summer for hours and hours everyday trying to beat both of the campaigns. My favorite Battlemech would be the 75-ton Timber wolf. I remember customizing that sucker with a couple PPC cannons, medium pulse lasers, 20 pack of LRMs and two machine guns to round out the weapons. I was truly addicted to the game. I would happily waste my summer break playing instant action and trying to beat the campaigns. At the time the game had pretty good graphics. I would play Netmech online with other players. Well, it’s a shame that Microsoft has not released a new MechWarrior game after 4. Instead we got the ***** MechAssault which is ok but doesn’t have the feel of the MechWarrior series. I also played the follow up expansions, Ghost Bear, Mercenaries and All Hail Clan Jade Falcon. Those were the days.
Another game I used to play is Command & Conquer. That game had everything. It had Full Motion Video, nice story and kick a** units. I remember fondly playing it till 2am just to beat one more mission. Ha-ha, you know there was always one more mission until you go to bed. Besides, The Brotherhood of nod was truly awesome to play. It had a better story than just paying GDI. I would always root for the underdog. But one thing I really hated about Nod was its lack of heavy fire power. I would take for light tanks to take out GDI’s Mammoth tank. It was pretty hard to win multiplyer matches most of the time… I recently played Command and Conquer 3 and it is pretty good. I think it’s a lot better than Command and Conquer 2, which sucked, pretty bad! I only remember the crappy third person acting and horrible unit balance. It makes me wish Command and Conquer 2 had never happened.
I know there are many other good games that I never got to play. I never played Master of Onion 1 or 2 which I heard were pretty good. They recently released Master of Onion 3 which sucked. A game released called Galactic Civilizations pretty much killed that game, I guess.
I haven’t played too many bad games back then either. So do our eggxperts remember any pretty bad games that I may have missed? What classic games, either good or bad, have you played in the past? I am happy to share with you, big gamers.
