SpeedRacer 1 #1 July 19, 2008 Like the Zork games? Or what about the old Mac games like Oregon trail, or the Scarab of Ra, or Daleks? I miss them, and I wish there was a way to find those old games, but I can't seem to find a website that has them in working order for modern day PC.

BillyVance 34 #2 July 19, 2008 I really liked the Wolfenstein and Doom series games. Maybe not as old as the ones you mentioned, but I'd love to play them again, especially when I had the cheat codes to be indestructible and fully armed right off the bat.

I wrote a decompiler to take the Apple Pascal code apart that it was written in by WerndaI knew I was getting too far into the Doom thing when I started making my own levels...

AggieDave 6 #8 July 19, 2008 Yup, I really do. I've been trying to find a download to the old Rambo first blood game that I used to have on my IIGs. It was a text game. That and another game called Black Cauldron.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samurai136 0 #17 July 20, 2008 Sword of Fargoal for the C64... never beat that game. I recently found a free copy that I can play on my PC...I still can't win.Occasionally I get in a game of Yar's Revenge (Atari) or Black Tiger (Sega Arcade)... playing it on a PS3 w/ a 42" plasma.

MikeJD 0 #18 July 21, 2008 Rose tinted glasses. I recently downloaded the 'original' version of Jet Pac from Xbox Live. I was blown away by that game when it came out, which I guess was around 1983. When I loaded it up I was like, this isn't the game I used to play - it's terrible! But sadly of course, it is that game. 25 years of technology advances have spoiled it for me.
