Relatively ancient and inactive

I'm not into old old games, but the ones that I liked were Doom 1 (my first video game, I think :P), and those that I still like like Worms or Heroes III.

Most of the games you've listed is too old for me to remember. The oldest game I got is probably Whiplash, which I still play :P I also got one of those 12-in-1 Game Boy gamepacks from the early nineties, which includes Super Mario Land, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue, Battle City and Penguin Land among others.

Anyone remember's microman? I think that was one of my earliest games ever. I guess I only had the demo since whenever the boss came I just died, or I just sucked.

First video game I ever played: Mega Man 3 at 2 years old or so.

Favourite game of the '90s, no exception, is TIE Fighter. Second goes to Mega Man X. Favourite of the '80s (though I did not live in that decade) is Contra.

Old games that I liked?
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate II
Fallout
Fallout 2
(Yes, that's right, they're all RPG's)
I liked Contra too, and the other one's (That is, the sequels to it). Though, I must admit, I never did play the original Doom, it kinda makes me feel bad about myself. Oh, also, I forgot to mention Tiberium Sun, which was probably my favorite RTS of all time until I realized no one actually plays it online -.-

You know, old games really mean much to me. For me it is a nostalgia. I've played lots of different games when was a boy. I had an unique chance. My mother was a teacher of informatics at school and many of those old games I've played there when I was about 5-6 years old. It was between 1992-1993 I think. There were many games at school... you know, pupils bring different games. Few people had PCs at home at that time and the school was the place where all games were gathered. I remember little about that times, but computer games of that time engraved inside my head forever. I dont remember their names, but when I see the picture I say: I've definetly seen this game somewhere!

The most memorizable games are (from most to least): Another World (this is definetly a masterpice of it's time, the first game using vector graphics; I've passed it through from the beginning to the end at least 3 times in my life), Starcontrol II (also a masterpice, it's even hard to compare with the first game, because they are so different), Electro Man, The Lost Vikings, King's Bounty (the grandgrandfather of Heroes), Settlers (aka SerfCity), Prince of persia (especially the first two parts)... have you, have you played these games???

Yes, this is the type of an old game of that time! You're not too old school) Unfortunately I've not ever seen the game you're talking about.

I know almost all games you've listed. They all are good but not the ones that stir, mabe just Alleycats and Golden Axe.

These are good too, but a bit more recent. Fallout without a question is a masterpiece.
