Haven't played video games since I was 12, but here we go:

Tron
Galaga
Galaxian
Donkey Kong
Space Invaders
Defender
Missile Command
Track and Field
Frogger
Pac MAn


How's that for old school?

[gatorr4life]

Donkey Kong was hard as hell, too. lol I think nintendo games were the hardest games period. You'd get like 3 continues to be the entire game! Then cheat codes started coming out, which made things a lot easier. I think every body on this thread remembers the famous...up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a, b, a, select , start code. lol

Deus Ex? What's that?

It's considered one of the best PC games of all time. It came out in 2000 so it's a little old. It's really fun though. One of the first games that gives you a situation and lets you approach it any way you want. It's an FPS-RPG. It has one of the best storylines ever which is nuts for a game that came out in '00. It also has a dialogue system like Mass Effect's.

Here's the intro:


The 3rd one is coming out next year, the second came out in like '05 and it sucked. The second one was made by different people though.

Here's trailer for Deus Ex 3:

Looks pretty cool. I was never into computer games, always consoles.

[FrankGator627]

GTA: San Andreas was awesome.

BY FAR, the best ever GTA game.

[GatorFan89]

gatorr4life, same with me with the exception of a few games (Deus Ex, Crysis).

Frank, I agree. I remember when I was little I believed the bigfoot rumors and I would just run around in the forest for hours trying to find it lol.

@gatorr, he is a quick summary of Deus Ex:

Deus Ex (The original game) takes place in 2052 after a rogue organization Majestic 12(MJ-12) attempts to take over the world by secretly releasing a virus only they have a cure for. The game is played through the eyes of rookie UNATCO agent J.C. Denton, who through the course of the game discovers the true identity of MJ-12 as a rogue offshoot of the once powerful Illuminati. The story ends with a final confrontation with Bob Page, leader of MJ-12, and a moral decision for J.C. Denton to seize power for himself, restore power to the Illuminati or destroy the work of MJ-12 entirely and possibly create a new global dark age.

Deus Ex is a action role-playing game developed by Ion Storm Inc. and published by Eidos Interactive in the year 2000, which combines gameplay elements of first-person shooters with those of role playing games. The game received almost worldwide critical and industry acclaim, including being named "Best PC Game of All Time" in PC Gamer's Top 100 PC Games and in a poll carried out by UK gaming magazine PC Zone. It was a frequent candidate for and winner of Game of the Year awards, drawing praise for its pioneering designs in player choice and multiple narrative paths. It has sold more than 1 million copies, as of April 23, 2009.

Crysis (aka let's see how many uncompressed textures we can cram on screen at once) is overrated. Poorly coded game designed to sell graphics cards.

Also not a fan of GTA: SA. GTA as a series had kind of gotten old for me halfway through Vice City. The series does a lot of things, but none of them remarkably, and the graphical issues with SA (absurd amounts of pop-in despite low overall polygonal and texture detail) were a big distraction for me. IMO, Rockstar bit off more than it could chew for SA with the generation of hardware at the time.

I thought Crysis was an excellent game. The graphics are bar none. The gameplay itself is great. I love how as you get further into the game the island opens up more. The tank level was my favorite because you suddenly are in this enormous, open area.

Mods make the game even better.

A few honorable mentions: Fallout 3, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Hitman: Codename 47

haha I never heard those rumors so I just googled it. It appears that bigfoot is in Red Dead Redemption probably partly because of all the rumors he was in GTA:SA.
