I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, kilrathi attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Vega System. I watched bfg 9000 beams obliterate demons in the moons of Mars. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like tears... in... rain. Time... to die...Hi there!
I'm a pc gamer (and developer) who started playing videogames almost twenty years ago. When I was young me and my brother had a dream, making our own games! And we've just started in the industry!
I'm the programmer, and he is the "artist", he does the music, sounds, graphics and all that stuff.
I remember a lot of games from my childhood, but the most important for me are those that follow (I even play many of them from time to time with Dosbox emulator!)
-
Wolfenstein 3d: the origin. I think I've the demo disquette around here anywhere :D Me and my brother played this game a lot, hitting space around every wall trying to find every secret! That was fun, and difficult!
-
Doom series: what can I say? My first lan experiencie! Geared with a null modem cable we played that game so much that even our cousin joined us! We played doom 1, doom 2, hundreds of mods, we also made maps, graphics, small game modifications, we even made our own Dragon Ball mod for it! Oh those times, they were so great... and that LL3 dos program, soooo slow! I wouldn't forget that!
-
Civilization/colonization: I was young, and those games were pretty difficult for me, but I keep playing them because of the feeling of progress. I can't play modern recreations of those games a lot of time, I give them one go and that's it, I've played the old ones so many times... I was saving almost all the time and reloading, you know, that's the advantage over consoles!!
-
Master of magics: that IS THE turn based game for excelence. Lots of races, spells and possibilities! Can't believe almost 20 years later there's a real competition for that game. Yeah there are projects that are near it, but for me that game is one of the best. I keep playing it from time to time! I don't care if their pixels are 32x32 real screen pixels
-Dune 2 & Warcraft: we found dune2 trying some games, and we were really in love with that game! Yeah it had difficult missions, but it was so great... and then somebody bought us the cd edition of warcraft: orcs & humans. It was great too. We played them a lot. I ended up playing Warcraft a lot, and even more in lan play with my brother. He didn't play it like a pro vs me, so he ended up losing, but I know he was letting me win
-
UFO - Enemy Unknown: oh those aliens... I've played that game like a hundred times, I keep playing it even today. I started playing a demo with my father, we thought it was very difficult, we didn't know the controls and we ended up throwing the weapons to the aliens!
Then we got the full version. It was great, a lot of hours spended there. I was looking through the windows at night every 5 minutes, fearing an alien would kill me or something
For me it has no real competition even today...
-
Adventure classics: I would say Monkey Island, the first and one of the best adventure games. I keep playing it today with my brother. Indiana Jones games were fantastic too. I also remember loom as a different game, it was original and we liked it also, then we become musicians and we think it's even better than what we thought then!
-
Nowadays games: Wolfenstein enemy territory, my father told me about that free game, I couldn't believe, I tried it, and loved it. For me it even stays the nº1 man-only (no vehicles) cooperative fps. Love the controls, the ambience, the original missions (I can't stand most player created maps sorry...).
World of Warcraft, yeah I can't stop playing it, I left it 1 year ago, and my friends forced me to play it again, it's not easy to find a man playing with a tank and a healer/dps at the same time, is it?
-I know I'm forgetting a lot of pc games but those are unforgetable... By the way we never played console games, our father made a wise choice: you choose, pc games or consoles, I won't pay for both of them! Thanks dad!
Well that was a nice brick of text, I'm sorry! Now I'm gonna show you our first creation, an android game. Take a look at the Nekronoid post in the townhall and share your experiences! We hope we will make better and more original games soon!!
