Blitzkrieg... What a brilliant game.


Absolute classic that was.

For me it is ArmA II, no one I know has played it.

LOL, yes it certainly was brilliant, but aside from that, it's also one of the most quotable games I've ever played, you've started me off now!

"You want a bowl of dweezel? How about a basket of pallie?"


I'd love to see a modern remake of it with better controls/graphics etc

It was the perfect blend of action/adventure/role playing


(can't remember anymore quotes)

Haha yes! Just in general yes. I too played Hocus Pocus Pink again after all those years and was just blown at how quickly I did it and how easy it was XD but it was so good..

Rayman was my fave, Original and Gold <3 my bro got original on his PS3 a couple years back and I just sat there playing for about half an hour before I realised I had just zoned everything else out entirely and my brother was wondering when I was gonna leave his bedroom...


lol, glad im not only one. i never played rayman gold, though i made sure i kept my copy of the original rayman when my sister took the ps1, love it and when i have a spare afternoon i often play it, its just so easy to lose a couple of hours to it though. my friend did give me a cheat to play every level and have like a 99reset lives thing so its almost impossible to die completely, but i lost it and i like to complete games myself.

Kula World / Roll Away :s noone I know seems to have any idea of what it is 8-)


I played the demo to this - it came free with a games magazine. Little beach ball rolling around maze platforms.
I loved that game too, so addictive! I could sit and play that game for hours. :colondollar:

you're pretty cool with oyur vincent price stuff, I've seen Dragonwyck. I wouldn't write this but I'm superbly drunk.


I know right? Dragonwyck is excellent; you should watch the Roger Corman adaptations of Poe.

And also drink lots of water and go to sleep.

Chibi-Robo on Gamecube. I loved that game but it came out quite close to the end of the Gamecube's cycle so went unnoticed by most people.

Thief. Tenchu.


Tenchu was great.

Here's one not many people here will have played: Dark Age of Camelot. That remains, IMO, one of the best games ever made.

Also, Siphon Filter on the first Playstation.

Rayman, god I loved that (still love it tbh, forever in my heart :tongue:)
Jazz Jackrabbit?
Pink Panther Hocus Pocus Pink or whatever the title was.


So Hard!
I remeber Abe Odyessy (scared me as a child) and Croc (PS1).
Heart of Darkness (scared me as a child) (PS1).
Skull Monkeys (PS1).

I've got two games for the PS2 I think that are (realatively) unknown Ico (actually think it is known by people think it should be more popular) and this game called Sorcereress 2 (picked this one up as a three for two offer the other two being pop:sands of time and Devil May Cry).
Alpha Protocol is one of the greatest games I've ever played, yet there isn't any love for it. I don't whether I got an anomaly, but I got no glitches whatsoever and actually it's one of the most in depth games I've ever got my hands on. Whenever a half term comes around I always replay it. I guess this in this day and age unless it's a FPS shooter where everything is linear, nobody has any love for games that involve the player. Anyway, get Alpha Protocol ASAP, you won't regret it.

The Shenmue series for Dreamcast. :love:

Shenmue was my favourite game from about the age of 8/9 when I used to play it whenever my Nanna's boyfriend's stepdaugher (I think that was how she was related to him, might have been granddaughter though) babysat us and played it with me (I made her do the "scary" scenes like when the guy tried to stab you in the tattoo parlour). Then that Christmas my parents got me a Dreamcast and the second game in the series. I played it constantly, they then bought me the first for my birthday and I spent practically all my time playing them. After completing it 3/4 times with Dad doing the "scary" bits I completed it myself, and just kept doing it over and over, looking for extra scenes and things that I missed (like actually finding that house for the old lady at the start, or collecting the martial arts scrolls and cassettes).

I even wrote a step-by-step walkthrough for both games including the extra scenes, directions, buttons to press for QTE etc and started doing things like making him buy 3 drinks a day to represent 3 meals and having set drinks for each. I also did the same with feeding the cat twice a day and giving her milk. And he spent Saturdays "training" and Sundays in arcades/casino as I started finishing the game too early from knowing what to do off-by-heart. I also stopped him running (except the bit where he has to rescue Nozomi). I'm running out of new ways to play it tbh.

It's just a shame they probably won't ever release Shenmue 3; Ryo will be stuck in that cave forever. :cry2:
oh god so many, heres a few that none of my current course-mates have heard of, and i'm on a CompScience/GamesTech course...

(showing my age here) Skool Daze, on the Spectrum. Though i believe its now an iphone/android app.


Chuck Rock, on the Amiga


Also on the Amiga, i played the hell our of this game for years and still do;


Parasite Eve 2 was epic, as was the first one, sadly overshadowed by Silent Hill and Resident Evil, and the first game was US/Jap only so not played by many in the UK;


And I loved this too;


shame I cant fit my game collection into my uni accomodation, its all in boxes in my folks loft :frown:
