Scorched Earth

The old Gold Box D&D gamea

• Lightspeed (1990) PC

I always thought I was the only person to have remembered this game. Back then space exploration was a pretty big deal, because you couldn't look up all the races online and they weren't all listed in the manual, so you could just randomly find new things by exploring around that you had no way of knowing about before. Ah, the good old days. Microprose released an enhanced edition called Hyperspeed with two new clusters a year or two after; I'm pretty sure both are available as abandonware, but because it's hard to find pdfs of the manual, cracking copy protection becomes an iffy proposition at best.

 

I've also seen the old Ninja Gaiden games mentioned a few times here, and they are seriously due for a reappraisal in terms of how big a deal they were for games in general. They were, AFAIK, the first series of games to make substantial use of cutscenes in between levels, and the basic cutscene/gameplay format of the series persists pretty much unaltered in games like Max Payne 3.

History was my major in college and this game played a huge part on it.

I played this game on my cousin's PC in late 90s. It was very interesting. I couldn't find a copy later.

Critics have bashed this game though.

I have a 4 years grade in history too. My average was B, so I'm a know-it-all of history for sure!

This, for me, is impossible to decide.

 

A few that would qualify:

 

Secret of Mana, Street Fight 2 Turbo, Soul Blade, Samurai Showdown 4, Garou Mark of the Wolves, Streets of Rage 2, Age of Empires 2, carmgeddon... DooM.

Eww, those two games were a travesty, the latter being outright disrespect to the series' legacy.

Nuff said.

I'd echo what many others have said, but also throw the Uncharted Waters series (and many of the other Koei titles) in the ring as well. UW has a special place in my heart, though - I'd love it if someone made a spiritual sequel to these games.

Look up "Minesweeper: The Movie" on YouTube if you haven't yet.

 

Best scene:

"INTENSE" INSTRUCTOR: Behind you there will be a counter! It will continue to count upwards until it reaches 9-9-9!

STUDENT: What happens then?
INSTRUCTOR: Nothing. You just suck.

[FlyingSquirrel]

Some of mine:
 

NES/SNES:

• Super Mario 1, 3, and World (though 3 without saves is kind of ridiculous)
• Legend of Zelda: the original + A Link to the Past
• Maniac Mansion (Don't be a tuna head!)
• Metroid
• Baseball Stars
• Super Mario Kart
• SimCity

ATARI:

• Keystone Kops - this had a building with 3 floors, a roof, and a bunch of stairwells and elevators, and you were a cop chasing some burglars
• River Raid
• Pitfall
• Mario Bros

COMPUTER

• Myst / Riven
• Weekend Warrior
• StarCraft
• Captain Goodnight (this was an old, quirky action/adventure game with a weird sense of humor from the '80s - I'm not sure I even have the title right, and I haven't found much info about it online either)
• King's Quest 2
• Perry Mason (another somewhat obscure one, I think - mostly text-dependent with some still graphics. I never managed to find the real killer, though I did get my client acquitted once.)

During summer breaks from college, my friends and I used to get together to play street hockey (or perhaps I should say "play street hockey" - a more accurate description would be a bunch of thoroughly unathletic dorks stumbling around a tennis court with a ball and some hockey sticks), and afterwards we'd usually end up at my house playing Super Mario Kart Battle Mode.

 

One time, Friend A and Friend B are playing and B is down to a single "bubble" on his car, and Friend A, after throwing a banana peel, says, "Go get that yellow thing, it's very helpful." Thinking that Friend A can't possibly be serious, and that Friend B can't possibly fall for it even if he is, I just sit there saying nothing when, to the astonishment of everyone else in the room, Friend B actually drives right over the banana peel and loses the game. He's sitting there perplexed as "Game Over" appears on his screen and everyone else busts up laughing, after which "Go get that yellow thing, it's very helpful" becomes a running joke for quite a while.
