Oh MY God

I cant believe that no1 has mentioned Half Life the all time greatest game for gameplay and lastabilty. Half life is still around in counter strike form and it was made in 97 for gods sake.

Besides who wants to sit around playing adventure or roleplays when u can clock an FPS in 6hrs?

Improves reaction time which can be usfull for avoiding unwanted incidents :roll:

Oh and of course GT3/ concept goes without saying

hmm.. there goes work for today.. the rest of my day will be spent thinking about old games :P

The game was called Twin cobra. Awesome powerups!

good to see ph1 another hard core old school game lover.

None of this boring doom clone games that is flooding the markets these days.

What about Turrican? That was one awesome game too!

I have so many emulators at home for all different systems. I love my old school games.

What about links golf?

Lemmings?

Back in the old days graphics were shit but gameplay was great.

Now the games are just shallow rehashes of each other.

wasnt links for the pc?

hmm yeah turrican was good, and that reminded me of Gods :P

and the earlier bitmap brothers classics, xenon and xenon 2

vertical scrolling bliss

hmm, and darius, r-type clone on the amiga

yeah i agree, games today are shallow with no challenge... quick save has killed gameplay...

3 lives is all anyone needs to complete a game :)

which was the one with the betty boo songs? xenon 2? or gods?

all i know is I worshipped the bitmap brothers heh

yah xenon 2 was mad, the shop to buy powerups was cool, once you had most of the weapons you were pretty much unstoppable..

also left/right and up/down scrolling, and having to scroll back down the screen when u took the wrong path heh

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
