anyone remember wolfenstein 3d?

I decided to play it again today, it brought back memories. I still like it more than doom. Back in about 92, that was a THE baddest game I'd ever seen. It used to freak me out so much I think I had to turn the sound down. The officers scared me the most, especially when you went round a corner and you were greeted by a "Spion", that really made me jump.

yeah, I apologise if no one has any idea what I'm talking about.

Forums: The Bar,

I remember :> Wolfenstein was cool back in the day ;) U can get a similar game on those new Alcatel pxt fones, good ol' times.

yeah i been playing it a bit again recently .. . i remeber my dad had it at work not long after it came out. . i just got a 'new' 486 with a soundblaster card, so i can finally enjoy wolf3d with cheesy digital sound

yeah we used to have it at school, kids used to play it at lunch time. But when everyone figured out the cheats it lost its fun.

I thought wolfenstein was great because the bodies of the dead Nazis didn't disappear once you'd killed them.

Fuck yes Joe. That is a fetish of mine as well. Errrr.... so to speak.

must be something in the air - i've been playing Dune 2000 and SimCity 2000 ... am thinking about reinstalling Civilization II Gold ... damn i love those old games.

hey, i've been playing civilization and the old sierra games too (police quest, space quest, kings quest, larry, etc etc)!

MUST be something in the air....

I must admit, I've never stopped playing Civilization.

Having a mame arcade-emulator phase at the moment as well - Milo really likes the old school two-player beat-em-ups like Double Dragon and Arabian Magic, so we have a wee session each night after his bath. Puzzle Bobble gets a look in now and then too.

... I tried and failed to get The Incredible Machine and Leisure Suit Larry running over the last couple of weeks.

I had those sought of games on the old Amiga, I sorta miss it now

miss it no more Tama. Amiga emulators abound...

Oh my god, this is my dream topic. I'm obsessed with the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and have been searching for a new site to download Roms from that isn't porn/crap since my old fave emux.net closed.

Check out the link in my profile. I'll be back later to be another early nineties nerd.

Jimi. This is my fave. No porn. Plenty of stuff.

Now I need a good gameboy ROM site, since my fave of that died. Any suggestions?? & that's any gameboy model, original, colour, advance, anything.

you people know shit all about games. The best amiga game ever is moonstone.

if some one wants to be nice to me they can burn me a copy of civ 2
as it was stolen from me
and the copy i have on my computer is now corrupted
its sad to say i could well have been depressed when it came up with a file error
the senarios (never have learnt how to spell it) i made
the packs downloaded off the internet
i brought it in 1996
and i'd still be playing it now...
if i had just one copy...

I will JJ. If I send it to Blenhiem with another CD I owe, will you get it?

Hmm, gameboy. Not sure if it's still there, but under the 100 best games on fhm.com, there was a gameboy emulator with what seemed like every gameboy game ever released. However the obvious downside is it's online, and although I didn't try, I don't think you can download it.

Otherwise you can go to emuconnet.com, which seems to have quite a few Roms. Some of the stuff for other systems has been a bit hit and miss as to whether it actually works, but try it - you can't really lose.

P.S Can anyone find a Brian Lara cricket 96 genesis rom that doesn't fuck up? Every time a player drops a catch or throws, it crashes.

man I went home to the folks on the weekend and played my brother's Gameboy Advance SP. It rules and has so many old school SNES games on it. F-Zero, Metroid, Super Mario Bros 3...
I got hooked on Final Fantasy Tactics.
I've got a few classic SNES Roms on my HD but have lost the emulator.
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy II and III
F-Zero
Legend of Zelda
Super Star Wars...

I have a hankering for Return to Zork now.

mega i love you!!!
in a plutonic way
or is that non-plutonic???
anyway you know what i mean
you rock!!!
half as good as if you came to nelson yourself...

'platonic', bro.

yusss i remember. it used to be my favourite... dont know where its gone but wouldnt mind playing it again. i knew lots of cheats so i never really had much of a high score but yea my favourite vilain guy to kill was hitler coz of what he said right before he died :)

I still semi-randomly shout "Mutti!" from playing that game for ages when I was younger.

When my workplace was really, REALLY dead we started playing Double Dragon and Golden Axe on MAME. It was awesome. For a while.

I used to play it on our 386, and then when we got a pentium 120, I tried playing it and got dizzy cos it moved so fast.

Old games rock.

I liked Doom better than Wolfenstein, mainly because I didn't ever own the latter, so never spent much time with it.

My Monkey Island disc is broken, so I can't play the 2 coolest old games ever :(

I wasted a whole year at varsity playing Doom II.

ok, sure, doom is far superior in terms of graphics, but I guess I enjoyed mowing down teh nazis a lot more.

...

Doom also had multiplayer deathmatch and custom levels - almost unlimited replayability.

That said, my favourite levels of Doom II are the "secret" Wolfenstein ones where you also get to murder Commander Keen.

the monkey island series was very clever
little bits like talking skulls floating by...

anyone remember Starquake 64? good god this game sucked up months of my early teen life.

was that the commie port of the speccy game? little dude crashes space ship on planet - has to put together some 9-piece thing to escape; teleport machines with 8 letter passwords; 2d platform game?

ah, should have followed the link. yes, that's the one. spent far too many hours on that one. great sound, i recall.

fuck wolfenstein 3d! Return to castle wolfenstein is awsome!!!

I remember Wolfenstein 3D... playing at Daddy's work, getting a 386 SX, an adlib compatible sound card! I remember spending far too long editing the program to make the nazis heads explode in a hail of blood when they died. Excellent.

And that hidden Pac-Man type thing that went through walls and couldn't be killed. That thing terrified me.

i have "Alex Kidd in the Miracle world" on my computer. i never played it on SEGA but its so addictive so now i cant stop...
have any of you played it?

Yes, I loved that on Sega. My whole family played it. I had it on an emulator recently & finished it finally. The first level is way cool & I like the octopus with the bonus level. The music was cool too. & the paper/scissors/rock games. & the car & the helecopter.

you could only really play alex the kidd once all the way through. The bosses never had any variation, their moves were always the same, hence it was too easy to memorise their moves and beat them every time in paper/scissors/rock.

The best game ever for the sega master system or megadrive was sonic. awesome game.

Haha, you're onto me. I wrote down the combinations of each Paper/Scissors/Rock guy when I was a kid. & when I had the ROM version, turned out I could still instinctivly remember them.

"Alex Kidd in the Miracle world"

HAHAHAHA!

Sega Master System, looking back now, was a piece of utter doo-doo - crap graphics, games that were WAY too easy. Wonderboy In Monsterland was the best game for the Master System. Remember how the Son of a Gunn Show used to give 'em away?

I preferred to Nintendo 8-bit system, by far.

Megadrive, however, was the cream.

ahhhhh alex the kidd
at after school care when i was but five years
we had five minutes each on the sega playing alex the kidd
man, some vicious 5 yr old beatings were metted over that game...

Alex the Kid! Memories.

My Godmother bought my older brother a Sega Master System when she went overseas, just after it came out. What did she bring me? A Beauty and the beast video. And I HATE Disney movies.

I loved playing Alex the Kid, but could never get past the, uh, first screen, when he jumps from the cliff into the water. yeah, I know, I'm not games person. And Wolfenstein and Doom were too scary, I preferred the screensaver that just went through Doom-style tunnels, and didn't have nasty people with guns - much nicer.

muahahaa i wrote down their rock/paper/scissors moves, so i never loose. :D

dat game is boring.

i remember that... and doom... we also had dune 2- i think thats what it was called... and some other random ones on my dads first work laptop years upon years ago... my bro recently tried like loading the games from that laptop on to this com or on to another old laptop... didnt work tho- he was gutted- something about the version being too old to be able to run on the newer systems... he now tries to play it on the old old laptop... doesnt quite work though cos the machine is just too old i think... i just started playing sim city again after ages... love that game... and my city isnt failing! =)

on the subject of old games, anyone ever play java tava: isle of fire? we were all addicted to it at primary school ( probably 'cos it was about the only game we could play) but no one could ever get very far...

ah yeah, we were real big on wolf 3d in the day.. scary as all hell... blew our minds.. when doom came out we couldnt believe the realism.. we luved duke nukem 3d too...

but the game that really hooked us was the original dune - battle for arakis.. on mega drive i think.. man we wasted away weeks.. mum would force us outside for fresh air.. but we would just linger at the step like hungry dogs... so then mum made us go for a run to the packing shed and back... clever, .. we would sprint.. .. we couldnt afford to buy a mega drive, so we hired.. we would spend the days waiting drawing battle plans and pictures..

we = 3 brothers

the first game i remember was the original grand prix .. and then came death track.. boo yeah

//the first game i remember was the original grand prix .

i remember playing dangerous dave (the first one) on dads computer at work...
he was subscribed to this thing where every month he got an entire floppy disc packed with shareware

http://www.mp3.com.au/grusome ]

never really got into dangerous dave.. i just remebered an early game we played - called h-beast.. wow that was old school ... and addictive .. anyone ever play ?... man those double H's were hungry lil scary fullas

yeah the old wolf used to be a blast

aparently if you install it on a newer computer the game runs insanely fast :)

but for old games, try amstrad 64.... TAPES MAN!

I'll have to fire it up oneday and see if shes still all go.

//Amstrad 64
Aside from trying to get Anna J----- to make out with me that's pretty much all I did with my 1st form year.
