Bruce Lee for Commodore Captain Keen for PC Double Dragon Ikari Warriors Discover the World in school

#553075Post 61 of 72

Re: Oldschool Computer Games...

For Nintendo, my favorite is a tossup between Double Dragon (doing all those crazy cyclone kick & knee kics and killing the shadow warrior) and Bubble Bobble (!!!!!)

And thanks guys for the memories of Oregon Trail, first time played in 2nd Grade on the Apple IIe.

I played that game like 10 times also. Best one in the series imo. DW4 was good, but the 5 sub-plots just didn't do it for me. Good game, but DW3 takes the cake. I actually played DW3 a few years ago on my Playstation... I figured out how to burn Nintendo games to Playstation, and I kept busy all over again with DW3, FF, and Zelda.

I always killed the metal slimes and king metals :p

[quote=lilsensa]oregon trail is a classic......my people always died of scurvy :([/quote] lol...i remember always having a "theif" come during the night and stole like everything. i didnt know so many people knew of that and number munchers on those green monitor apples in elementary school. always would get in trouble if we were caught before finishing our work.

i also remember playing police quest and leisure suit larry. we liked leisure just because you could type curses for him to speak and watched him fucking with the little censored bar over him and the hooker
