This is the kind of thread in which my relative youth shows through. Unless you're going to post Amstrad screenshots or DOS game screens I'm not going to have a clue what the game is

.

OK, here's a PC game I played to death when I was a kid...

Lucien21 · 11-29-2005, 01:09 PM

That was a classic.

Too bad it sold like 3 copies like most of that companies games they were technically and gameplay wise superb, but for some reason nobody bought them.

Kolzig · 11-29-2005, 01:22 PM

I bought Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri like 2 years ago, but I haven't yet played it...
I've read a lot good reviews about it, I will someday play it, I swear.

A classic Looking Glass game for sure.

RLacey · 11-29-2005, 01:50 PM

I found a copy just the other day, sealed and in it's original box (not the White Label budget release) for £6.99. Go me.

Lucien21 · 11-29-2005, 01:51 PM

Here's a recent ish one

Let's be honest here, the word "all" could be used instead of "most"

Ok Destruction Derby 64 wasn't all that great, but Ultima Underworld 2/Thief 1-3/Terra Nova/System Shock1-2

Are some of the best games ever made.

RLacey · 11-29-2005, 01:56 PM

I was never able to complete the first level of this...

They made DD64?

OK, not "all" then. Every game for the PC, how does that sound

?

And don't forget Flight Unlimited

Didn't Irrational games do System Shock 2?

The Humans.

Daikatana was because you complained the games were too old for you

Irrational developed it, but worked closely with Looking Glass who produced it, using their Dark engine and sharing code with them.

And I'm not sure that Irrational weren't working in the corner of LG's office at one point. After all, System Shock 2 was the first gig they got when they left LG...

Wow, someone who knows it that well. I can't tell you whether that's the first or second game; I only have the second (and the first mission does require one to get a spear), but I found the time limit and frustrating gameplay mechanics a hinderence to ever actually passing level one.

It was a joint production

SoccerDude28 · 11-29-2005, 02:08 PM

Here's a very easy one:

First RPG I ever played

Oh and till today, I can't forgive myself because I missed out on such a masterpiece like Daikatana

Lucien21 · 11-29-2005, 02:09 PM

Is that Land of Lore

RLacey · 11-29-2005, 02:10 PM

Yeah, that's the original Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny.

Oblivion is of course a knock-off. Patrick Stewart as the voice of the king? Been there, done that in LoL
