Best Old School Computer Game

The only rule is: It must be released on disk. No CD-Rom games, they aren't old school enough! My vote goes to X-Com: UFO Defense, although Scorched Earth definitely comes in second with Wolfenstein running up third.

That shits not old school, yo. My votes go to Maniac "Motha Fuckin" Mansion, Dig Dug and Montezuma's Revenge.

hunt the wumpus

for ti-99, only it was on a tape that had to be rewond to the exact place on the tape or else it would play another game

i was like 6 and always fucking hated not getting it right

what a waste the ti-99 was, i mean the damn disk drive was as big as a moble fucking home

I am ashamed to admit could never even get over the first friggin drawbridge on Kings Quest.

Scorched Earth and Oregon Trail.

zork 2 was my favorite game when i was little.
it taught me to never jump in the kitchen.

King's Quest II..I think I still have it on a 3.5 inch disk here somewhere.. I loved what would you happen if you tried typing nasty things, like "kill grandma."

Oh, and did anyone ever have Calixto Island?

Damn, you posted them before I could!

California Games

Prince of Persia.

I don't know if anyone ever heard of it (please tell me if you have) but I was in love with Transylvania for my OG mac.

I had a TI-994A growing up and I loved it! My father used to sell them though, so I had all the goodies with it - the digital canvas, speech synthesiser, some weird expansion package that let you use better joysticks and it had a tablet that worked with some games for added features... I loved that bastard, but the keyboard had the slot for game cartriges and everything else built into it and inevitably, one of the keys would go bad on it. I used to write BASIC programs with it, so not having an A, E, or R made it pretty damned tough. I probably still have enough pieces to build one in my garage - maybe I'll go look later...

Hunt The Wumpus ruled, as did Parsec and Miner 2049er.

dungeon master all the way.

X-COM rules the fuggin' house, followed by the Dark Castle series on the old Mac........

Oh, plus !Pirates! or M.U.L.E. both kicked ass..........

police quest.
where is that guy seanbaby? i believe this is his school to rule.

oregon trail and

MONKEY ISLAND!!

one summer i was working for a musician to keep her books and transcribe music, when i didn't have stuff to do she had me play leisure suit larry to get her further in the game. i still can't believe i got paid to play that. hehe.

i think redskull said it best

you put smiles on me.
