OT:Favourite computer games

[FrankBuss]

Sometimes a reason why i prefer the older games.
Just plugging in, hit start, go for it and quit.
Easy and simple.

Another of my favorite games is VVVVVV, which is this kind of game. This is me, playing level 1:

If you want an easy, entertaining online multiplayer type game (no characters/logins needed), slither.io, agar.io or tagpro.gg are pretty entertaining. They remind me of early 2000s flash games.

Right, slither is fun, once I played it with the zoom hack

Q3A felt sterile to me. Although railing people was fun

IMHO, Q3A was (and possibly still is) the best dueling game. On top levels it is awesome to watch. I've accompanied my son to World Cyber Games 2002 in South Korea and it was a great fun.

Cheers

Most hours spent: BBC Model B - The ORIGINAL Eliteby David Braben - 2.1ml planets in 32KB ram with 1 tape load - and 3D wire-frame graphics....

Apart from that FlightSim's (real and home) with range of cockpit setups.

And then Leisure Suit Larry and a range of other Sierra games. on the PC.

Only games I play now is with my son in the iPad - so anything from Lightning McQueen, easy "shoot them up's" and Disney Planes fly though hula hoops.

 Another great one was a staple of dial-up bulletin board systems - Tradewar!
I still play occasionally - some people I know have set up a telnet server you can log in and play the TW2002 version on. Still fun after all these years.

Have you seen Elite Dangerous? It's a bit insane with all the controls, but once you get the hang of it, it's an awesome game!

Wow, I though I was the only one...

My long time favorite computer for games was the Apple II.  So much so I built a miniature one with all the games so as to make it portable.  Works with a standard Bluetooth keyboard.

That's cool, is that Raspberry Pi based, or something else? I have the real deal in the closet downstairs, I pull it out to play with it now and then.

Yes - but too afraid of getting sucked into it and not spending enough time on my compiler....

The Incredible Machine - I played it a lot, my mate became obsessed.  He started off very bad and this seems to have driven him to the obsession.

If you enjoyed the puzzling aspect of Portal, have a go at The Witness.  It also takes one simple concept as far as it will go, and later puzzles build on what you learned from earlier ones.  A key difference is that almost every puzzle is available from the start.  If you don't know what to do in one area, there will be another somewhere that will teach you.

It runs on a C.H.I.P.  which is similar to a pi, only much cheaper $9.
