Oh lawdy.

Please give this thread some sort of salient point before the Polycount Hate Mob descends on their favorite prey.

Man, I had a Bloody Roar game on the GameCube.... there was some cool stuff in that.

Will Faucher

And the point of this thread... is...?

Firecracker197

Bloody Roar and Spyro bring back so many memories...lol

Xoliul

Cool story bro

uneditablepoly

Awesome. But yeah, let's create some purpose here. haha..

vcortis

Notice the creator... I think that explains this pretty well.

seforin

what purpose? These games rock!

HonkyPunch

I believe the purpose is to facilitate the discussion of older games, specifically, if I am reading the topic name correct, in the Clinton years.

say what you want, Belias knows the art of pulling viewers.

IMO the best game from the Clinton years was "hide the cigar"

ErichWK

I'll bite. Remember when JRPGs were actually bad ass in the 90s? I lost my 4th disc to this game so i could never finish it..


..and Actually I remember I lost my second disc to Xenogears so i could never finish it. I was at the last boss. AND I LOST MY MEMORY CARD When I was at the last dungeon in FFVI. Man.. What a traumatizing childhood.

HonkyPunch

Erich, you may just be bad at playing video games.

But I know your pain. I had a cousin who only knew two words when he was little;
Delete, and yes.

adam

Whenever I see video of Daytona USA or Mortal Kombat 2 I immediately smell the pizza from the pizza place we'd go to in order to play the arcade machines of those 2 games.

This happened to me SO many times, with so many games...

I remember playing House of the dead in the mall, somewhere in iowa. There was pizza. Good times.
I also remember playing some racing game where you could splatter camels all over the road, at a bowling alley. I went to bowling league with my friend, but I just played arcade games while he bowled.
Ah, childhood.

HonkyPunch: was it Road Riot 4wd?

Once upon a time, indie games were mostly trainwrecks. (can you remember a non-Apogee/id/epic shareware game worth your time? Exactly.)

I was just reading the entry on Primal Rage on Hardcoregaming101 last night.

Man the 90s were a different time for the games industry.

crazyfingers

I did not have virtual relations with those games

+1 for Myth II. A really good game.

This thread makes me feel like a young little shit. I'm familiar with almost all of the names, but I've played very little of them. Thinking back, what got me into playing computer games was watching my brother play CS. Not the guns or killing or explosions, but 'playing' Free Look mode between rounds for my brother. Flying around 3d levels was so cool.

I remember seeing Primal Rage at an arcade here when it first came out, the volume was turned up so loud it just drew you to it. Very visually impressive game for it's time, and a lot of fun. Always used Diablo.

We should do a Unreal Multiplayer Mod, the game itself isn't terribley complicated from a mulitplayer perspective.

You just need a map, and the different unit types.

I love that game.... hmmm time to do some fan art.
