I liked games like Robocop 3, and the old flight sims as you had to use your imagination to fill in the blanks from the graphics.

Used to love Starwing on the N64. Used to be able to complete it without dying at all.

I wouldnt mind having all the old games on an emulator for my PSP, but it has the newer firmware on so I cant!

Anyone know of any way to get these on a Wii?

Are you playing this on a PC?

Would love to be able to get all these on the Wii.

Retro games ftw.

Who remembers the very first sonic on the Master System?

What a game.

No I didn't actually, but I always remembered it from back then. I think this Skunk software was the same as what Monkey Island used as it's on the Skunk website.

I want to get hold of F-18 Interceptor & F-111

I did, i loved it. I still remember starting in that little room and you have the things falling down, working way out and then getting on your bike/car (can't remember) and drive off. I loved that game.

Monkey Island, Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis, Broken Sword (1&2), Feeble Files, some of the point clicks i used to play and love, point clicks are the best games ever!

Other amiga classics

Sensible Soccer, Fade 2 Black!

Do any of you guys watch the Angry Video Game Nerds reviews of old games on the old consoles, including Commodore 64, Phillips CD-i.

He is quite possibly the funniest person on the internet.

Same with Broken Sword.

Monkey Island 1 & 2 were amazing, then it got shit.
Broken Sword 1 & 2 were amazing, then it got 3D = shit.

Apparently point clicks will be making its way back soon, but i just don't think it'll have the same effect as it used to on Amigas and the likes, it'll be to graphic and look to good, unless it was some never been done before system, but i highly doubt that.

Monkey Island, I dunno what is about that game but it's one you would pick up and play again and again. The landscapes and the whole scenery in the game was just perfect, it never needed better graphics it was perfect.

I used to play that on the Amiga then play with my Lego Pirates, I think it's where I got such a good immagination from.

Good days those were.
