Back in the day, I used to play East Front I & II, as well as West Front I & II from Talon Soft. I have all the add-ons, plus other games from them too. Red Baron and Grand Prix Legends were also favorites. I bought a U-Boat game and it used every key on the keyboard, except 3 of them. I tried to drive my U-Boat forwards in the tutorial to learn how to play the game. Ok, good to go. I then put the U-Boat in reverse, gave a little gas and hit something. My U-Boat sank and that was it!!! Game back in the box and I never played it again. I mean, what can you hit going backwards, underwater in the middle of the ocean???...Oh well, $39.95 in the toilet...

Sounds like we had similar tastes in games Allen. Loved Red Baron, especially the way the ambulance used to turn up if you crash landed. I had a frustrating Sub game as well. Can’t remember the name, but do vividly remember getting in amongst the Japanese fleet, and watching Kaga et al go by within touching distance. I simply couldn’t turn the periscope fast enough to line up a shot…….found out later there was a lock on button that would have done the hard work for me…….lost interest in it at that point…..Comment

Anyone remember "WORLD WAR ZERO" on the playstation?...
.. based as if WW1 had never ended and had all manner of future weapons,mind altering gas and all mixed with the original German uniforms/equipment of the time....
... I loved it,but they never made another as far as I'm aware?!:loudly-crying:Comment

I've managed to avoid gaming consoles since SWMBO gave her Nintendo 64 away. I've spent far too much of my life playing first-person shooter games, starting with the original Doom, but I don't bother much these days - too old, don't have the hand/eye coordination or the quick reactions.

That's why the older games appeal to me... I don't like the manic play of shooters these days,(I do have a PS4 with lots of games,but I get bogged down :sad-face
,
... So I do fancy getting that again!!
Not sure how much they are these days,.....
Sad thing is,I "leant" my PS2 years ago, with over 40 games,to a work mate, shortly after wards he emigrated to the states,and I never saw them all again!!

Anyone remember “Reach for the stars”? Nothing to look at graphically, but the gameplay and AI were immense. One of the great games in my opinion…..first released in 1983. It was the one that showed me games on computers could be better than mindless drivel like Donkey Kong….it was also the game that launched the Startegic Studies Group (SSG) company.
Other SSG games worth looking out were Carriers at war and Great War in the East (Barbarossa again). Never had a dud from them, and all played faultlessly on my C64. Quite pricey though, 35 quid was a lot for a game in 1985

Don't remember that one Tim.
My first real games i got into (other than Manic Miner) was X-Wing and Tie Fighter. I played them to death many times over.Comment

To be honest Alan, if it was still available, even forty years later, I’d probably give it a go again…….definitely a great strategy game. Not for the shoot em up or tactical fan though……Comment

I was one of the original computer nerds .. first computer was a DX 50 X2 .. Dos days where we had to use a seperate boot disc depending on the game as there was so little boot memory .. i remember when win 95 came out .. i broke it 5 times in the first week as i wanted to see what all the exe files did lol .. floppy disc install back then ..
Games .. Starsiege tribes .. google it ! .. Elite .. brilliant and many variants of this game .. played them all .. finally got into MMORPG .. rift was excellent , along with wowc .. and so many others .. gave it up a good few years back .. far too many hours spent on gaming to the wee small hours with work the next day.
I almost forgot .. Civilisation !!!!!! i played them all .
Fallout 4 , vegas .. sigh .. i loved that game .. i did many Beta trials of games .. eve online .. i was there pre release .. excellent game that was ... This thread takes me back i must say .. best part of 25-30 years as a gamer sigh .
Just on the off chance ... Falcone / Mort or demort .. my main names but variants of Falcone were my alts .Comment
