DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fantasy & Gaming Favorite old school computer games???

If you want to feel younger, I mentioned the game Bedlam for the TRS-80... it was a text adventure game. Floppy drives were fancy, new fangled things that were too expensive for the school at the time... we loaded the games from a normal cassette. The sound output connection would go to an input jack on the side of the computer... then you'd just pop a game in and press play until it told you to stop

LOL...........I am not going to read this thread, but I had to respond to it. I keep seeing it when I click on the Main Index. The title just cracks me up----"..........old school computer games."

Hard for an old fart like me to picture computers as "old school." *L*

Tecmo Bowl

I can see how it is funny

I can tell some of these posters ages by what they are considering old school.

Like the young guys are naming games that were out in the late 90's to early in this decade, where I'm looking at 80's to mid 90's as old school.

Way of the Exploding Fist

Hmmm some of the old games I use to play:

Commadore 64 - Boulder Dash, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Oregon Trail (hated this compared to Apple Version), Head of the Class

Apple II- Oregon Trail (loved going down the river avoiding rocks in your wagon), Number Crunchers, Word Crunchers

Mac- Radical Castle (never did figure out how to beat this), Scarab of Ra, Might and Magic

These were the computer games now if you get me started on video games like Atari I would have one heck of a list for you

wow, I forgot about Boulder Dash.... I spent ages playing that one!


I had to look up the year for it.... 1984, wow. It's been a while, hehe.


But, look what I found while looking up the year: http://www.onlinegames.com/boulderdash/

How about Montezuma's Revenge on an old Monochrome Apple with a 7" screen

Number muchers and Lemmings baby...heck yes

gotta love the internet.

I had forgotten all about the Lemmings I loved that game.

Number Muchers and Word Munchers....how about CAT Paws.

I don't know those ones.

I also remember a lot of user created games that were pretty much garbage but funny. I remember some game named Hoover Boover. Or something like that. Some kid going around with a vacuum cleaner or something.

how about Q*Bert...

Man I remember playing this game forever, way back when.

This site www.nintendo8.com has all the old NES games available to play online. It is sweet, I have been playing Zelda, Excite Bike, and Ghosts and Goblins today!!
