Re: Games that never age

Never having any reflexes to speak of, the "action" computer games were just incredibly frustrating for me. Right back to the original "Space Invaders"

But long-lasting classics?
I still return to the first edition of "Civilization" (preferred to later versions)
"The Incredible Machine" (more than one edition)
"Empire: wargame of the Century"
and "Perfect General"

Games where you could think about your moves.

Ah: my brain has thrown up an exception.

Tetris, of course.

Re: Games that never age

Yes, Manic Miner was the grand-daddy of all platformers. I was impressed to see that Flashback was mentioned too. Here are some others I adored:

3D Deathchase
Turbo Esrit (By Durell Software - the first Grand Theft Auto game was based on this)
The Hobbit
Sabre Wulf
Atic Atac
Knight Lore
Ant Attack
Trashman
Wheelie
Heavy on the Magick

Atari ST Games of Note: Defender of the Crown, Shadow of the Beast, Dungeon Master and Xenon II.

I've recently downloaded the original Super Mario Bros. for my wii. Just as great as the first time I played it.

Re: Games that never age

The C64 emulator for the iPod Touch/ iPhone is free at the moment... Includes Bruce Lee...

Re: Games that never age

Bruce Lee!!! One of the first games, if not the first that I finished.

Try getting SpeccyDS an emulator for your DS (you will need a cart) then goto world of spectrum for all your classic ZX games 100% legal too as amstrad has given there permission for that site to host the roms.

Re: Games that never age

With so many old games out of production grabbing the roms and an emulator is often the only way to play.Plenty of them to be found free too.When we had a local gamestation they opened with loads of cheap old consoles and games.It is nice to play the original hardware but if not loads can be found on the interent.Years back i picked up a cdrom from hmv with 3000 c64 games 10,000 sid tunes and emulators.If you do download roms and emulators make sure you virus scan them first.

Re: Games that never age

If you have an iPhone, 59p will buy you ZX Nostalgia, and let you play games like Chuckie Egg, Manic Miner & 12 others

Re: Games that never age

Treated myself to a Spectrum emulator for the PC - it came with a huge selection of classic games. Have recently completed The Hobbit and still play one of the all-time greatest space shoot-em-ups - Dark Star.

Re: Games that never age

You were doing excellent until you said OoT. The N64 version is an unplayable muddy mess now. Most N64 games have aged terribly. The 3DS version is lovely though, if you're able to give it a try I urge you to.
