What is your Favorite Classic Computer Game?

[Marshmallowman]

M.U.L.E 3 player on my atari 400
Boulder Dash
Ball Blaster
Escape from fractulus
Defender
raid over moscow
(can't remeber the name). 3d action game on atari 400 chase this rotating board around a 3d maze(had wind as well)(kind of smooth 3d, screen was about a third of the tv), capture the flag thing(two player at same time as well).
It was totaly kick ass graphics for the time/computer.
(smooth 3d, on 6502 running at 2mhz is unbeleivable), took another 5 years before any thing could beat it. (pity it was such an obscure game..I can't even remeber the name)
and of course ZORK !

Has anyone ever used an old TI-99 4a? There is an old game that I used to be hooked on, but for the life of me I cannot remember the name. It is a hiking game...I think it is called Alpiner, or something like that. Anyway, you take your mountain climber up the mountain side while dodging animals, falling objects, ski'er, etc. That is a classic game right there.

The oldest game I have is "Adventure in Serenia" Sierra's first game. I don't have a computer it will run on though (it's a self-booter).
My all time favorite game though is Commander Keen 4.
Funnest computer game ever written. (sorry Quake)

chuck

ps the actual funnest for me was Jepardy because it was the first game with encrypted copy protection that I cracked with debug and a hex editor. I don't think I actualy ever played it though. Just started it to debug the crack

The world's best flight sim? Sopwith. 2D, side scrolling, CGA, hours of fun.

[Blade Runner]

Jumpman and Jumpman Jr. on commodore 64
verry good game

[SteveC]

Just remembered a classic on my old 386 PS/2 - BangBang. Similar to gorillas that comes free with qbasic.
Maybe the best game though is snake on the Nokia 5110

Hmmm...
Spectrum - tough choice, I'd probably have to go with more then one game.
Sabre Wulf was one of my favs definately.
Not to forget Saboteur.
But number one of all times probably still was definately Formula One - Manager sim.
Even now I still like it a lot better then any other similar game that was done later.

Atari 130/800 - Rescue on Fractalus. No doubts here. The game rocked and if you take away textures and colored lights from Incoming the two don't even look much different. Just that Incoming is less interesting to play
Speccy and C64 were a little slow running this game.

C64 - Probably Winter Games 1.

Amiga - Ports of Call and Elite.

PC - Ehm. Maybe Master of Orion 1.

Btw whoever was talking about the little proggy that made your floppy play a tune on C64. I had a similar thing on Amiga, and I did run it a couple of times.
Don't know for sure but I think first thing that died in that Amiga was the floppy few years after I sold it to this guy.

SteveC,

Yup, that's me on ZDNet alright. I love posting on ZDNet, almost as much as I do here. I especially enjoy the Linux vs. Windows and Intel vs. AMD articles. I always get emails for those posts.
