Honestly Heroes Of Might and Magic 4 and StarCraft 1 and 2




ever tried Starcraft: Mass Recall? a mod (or more like an addon for it doesn't overwrite the game) to starcraft 2 to play about the whole first starcraft and addons in starcraft 2 quality.

NES games.. that's when games started to deviate & improve from the Arcade experience, improved story-telling, linear progression, gameplay variety, decent AI etc.

Maybe some arcade games before that (NES), but i can only play them for a short amount of time, since most of the time the experience was about getting high scores etc. And i have no interest in that..

Atari era gaming don't interest me at all, the gameplay is very simplistic and boring, most games have no story to speak off, sports games i couldn't care less..

Asteroids (arcade, though most home versions are good for a laugh too) - timeless! The arcade original (and especially Deluxe) still hold up well today.

Adventure (VCS/2600) - Obviously I'm talking about the random 'game 3' here, which from a young age I always have a 'Best of 5' against the machine on: some placements are obviously impossible - machine wins a point, other times a duck (sorry, dragon) can get me - machine wins a point again. I will STILL play this best of 5 from time to time!

Joust (1982). Pure skill gameplay, no luck involved. Just an incredible game!

I had an Atari VCS. some were very good games, perhaps short and repetitive.
My pick is Pitfall.

Tiddly-Winks :rofl2:

Pac-Man or Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong (my favorite arcade classic) is probably my pick.
I like many of the home console ports, too, honestly, even the ones that aren't greatly regarded, like the Colecovision version.
