Now THESE were games (Images galore)

X-Com UFO defense was my favorite.  They re-made it for all intents and purposes, but it's just not the same...

Descent made me totally sick from the graphics' motion...

Same here! I don't know what was up with that game... it was the only game I ever suffered motion sickness and headaches from.

Descent is the ultimate 3D game concept. D1 and D2 is still fairly simple because of the block construction of levels. I made quite a few levels with the level editor and loved it. D3 is more complex with the newer graphics but if you want to train spatial perception Descent is probably the best game you an find for that.

Yeah it was revolutionary for sure, but the graphics had something about them that made your head spin as much as the ship..  It and (for some reason) Quake 2 gave me the most atrocious headaches to the point of nausea if I played more than about half an hour at a time.

It could be a combination of the low res graphics of the time, the bobbing up and down motion of the ship, and contrast levels of textures and crappy lighting effects. Dunno, but I can imagine all of the above do make a difference.

I reinstalled Gangsters the other day.  Game is still awesomely fun.  Nothing like the cops rocking up outside of your Gangster HQ and gunning down 20 of your guys while they innocently go around offering protection to business owners.

I think so, Vortex. Those old Windows screensavers where you're robot-walking thru a square 3D labyrinth give a similar effect.

MechWarrior 2, the first truly immersive and addictive game in the line.









And its (still the best in the series IMO) sequel, MechWarrior 3. Late '90s game and still looks and plays better than the new editions if you ask me.

I'm suddenly reminded of Sierra's mech games. Earthsiege and Earthsiege 2.

I'm reminded of my old PS1 demo CD of Armored Core that I adored but never bought the game for. I'm still curious about that game.

Ah, FD on kali those were the days.. what a great furballing sim with pretty good flight models to boot.  Took flight sim'ing to a whole new level for me in the days before AW went flat rate.

It scares me to think that was 14 years ago   Sure lot of time ago.

Feen is around here sometimes too. I saw Silvereagle in WB couple of time but i don't think he stuck around.

I remember playing Star Wars Podracer and Rogue Squadron, and was totally impressed by how amazing the graphics were. Granted, this was on December 26, after staying awake twenty four hours and that I was six-ish at the time. My favorite game of all time though would be BattleMech on the Genesis. I got it when I was eight on my birthday, which was three days before Christmas, and playing Co-op with my cousin. We almost made it past the second level.

Horrible, horrible, horrible game.

RTS games practically bore me to tears.

Give me things like Close Combat.
