    Default Old school games.

    I'm talking around the age of the Atari. I found a buunch of floppy discs with a lot of games that I haven't played in so long, and have missed dearly.

    What were your favorite really old games? I think Zak McKracken or Maniac Mansion was for me. But who can forget Lemmings?

    Originality is good, kids.

    I never played those. o_o; I'm only thirteen. I go back to NES, not Atari. But my Dad really liked battlefield. My Mom liked pong.

    I used to play Pitfall, Frogger, and some bowling game for the Atari all the time. There was also a vampire game on Intellivision that I really liked, can't remember the name, though.

    I also loved Loom.

    God, I smurfing hate Dizzy. Damn son of a bitch egg kept me addicted for months >_> EVEN THOUGH I SUCKED AND COULDN'T GET ANWHERE!

    Lemmings, of course.

    Battlezone.

    Starglider.

    There was some X-Wing or TIE Fighter gamer, too... can't remember exactly though, and it might have been a few years later.

    Burning Rubber (It was built-in on whatever tape system it was I had, but my god was it awesome.).

    Most of my gaming begins in the later 80s and early 90s though, so I don't have too many old-school titles I've played. Oh, Elite, of course, but I played that much later than the original release.

    Edit: Mercs. God DAMN I loved that.
