Members sunburstbasser Posted June 24, 2009 Members Share Posted June 24, 2009 Cabal? Or maybe Nam 1975? I played Cabal in the arcades! Isn't Nam 1975 strictly an arcade game, though? The only game I know of with that title is a Neo Geo game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FreestyleIntruder Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 x-com1 is by far my favourite game of all time Mine is either X-Com, Thief 2 or Elite - difficult to pick a favourite out of those three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LittleWoodenBoy Posted June 25, 2009 Members Share Posted June 25, 2009 Sounds to me like Jagged Alliance. This was one of my favorite games back in the day, and they released a few sequals, too. JA2 is fantastic. If you're looking for something similar but newer, check out Silent Storm. It's a similar kind of thing, but set in WW2. There's some crazy sci-fi stuff towards the end of that game, but the gameplay is really fantastic.

Members kurfu Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 x-com1 is by far my favourite game of all time The original X-Com is available on Steam for $4.99 and runs perfectly under Win XP... I've been playing through it again over the past couple of weeks... and yes, it's still fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Westsailor Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 I only played a few DOS games back then. I think I remember the one he's describing... seems like when one of the dudes got shot, they screamed "Sarge!" or something like that...That was like 2 million beers ago, though. that sounds like 'Close Combat' to me. WWII though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Westsailor Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 You know the company beind Bioshock2 (2K Studios) is releasing an updated version of XCom? Alas, "The game, which is actually called XCOM, is in development for the Xbox 360 and PC at 2K Australia and 2K Marin, and makes substantial changes to the original series, combining research and planning elements not with overhead, turn-based strategy sections, but with first-person shooter action." However, all is not lost. If you like the turn based strategy ala UFO Defense then go here:Xenonauts It's Xcom: UFO Defense in everything but name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, seems incredible when combined with a decent tactical shooter/soldier sim thing, since the impending doom on the battlefield feeling was one of the things that made the original X-COM great, but hell, Borderlands were super fun too - all in all I don't see much potential for failure However, all is not lost. If you like the turn based strategy ala UFO Defense then go here: XenonautsIt's Xcom: UFO Defense in everything but name I have beaten every X-Com knockoff ever, so I won't let this one slide by, but really, going back to turn-based tactical combat feels like putting shackles on.

Members Dark Slide Posted May 13, 2010 Members Share Posted May 13, 2010 Any LLL FTW.....Hell, any Sierra game FTW........ Bewtween LLL, Space Quest, Quest For Glory, and the Indiana Jones Titles, it was nothing but win win win........ Yes. I have the LLL, Space Quest and King's Quest, Police Quest collectors edition. I'm also a Lucas Arts fan, and Maniac Mansion might be my all-time favorite game. Day of the Tentacle was also an excellent sequel. Monkey Island, Indiana Jones (Which was Lucasarts, not Sierra), Loom, The Dig... I love those kinds of games. I need to try the new Monkey Island remakes.

Members flatcat Posted May 21, 2010 Members Share Posted May 21, 2010 Bluescout - I still have the forerunner game: Rise of the Triad. I can't get the music to work with any modern soundcard, but you can hear the rat a tat and sounds of people saying "DIE!" Best part: the game has both God mode and Dog mode. In Dog mode, you're invincible and have a super-bark that blows up enemies. Gore galore! ROTT was the predecessor to Doom, Castle Wolfenstein, and a couple of other games. It was a 1st person shooter from the early-mid 90s. I still play it from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came out right at about the same time DOOM did, and it was originally a sequel to Wolfenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
