Title: Old games
Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 28 May 2014, 19:13:34

Since I've just finished a run of crap shifts, I'm too tired to socialise, and Woman is at work, I think it's time to fire up the old Playstation.

At the moment I'm slightly addicted to the original C&C Red Alert, but I'm also lining up some Crash Bandicoot goodness. I also have Pacman as the only game on my phone (since Snake doesn't feel right with a touchscreen...).

Who needs modern, photorealistic, Alpha flanking maneouvre Call of duty anyhow?

I just bought Carmageddon for my LG Flex from Google Play Store, I tried it before with my old iPhone4-S but the screen was too small.

On the 6" LG curved screen its fab, so bought it. Sooooo many happy memories from late 90's running over people and crashing into things  ;D

Groan! A great game - if you want to keep yourself and a couple of politically argumentative mates occupied.. All bloody night! ::)

I used to be addicted to simple good 'ol fashioned Doom, ideally tunning under MSDOS as then the keyboard commands are not confused with Windows commands. Example. A certain action results in the screen flipping and many others. None of the Windows versions really worked as well, and last year there was a new version that I bought and totally failed to get running, even after a huge download from Steam  >:(

I bought a PS2 in 2003(?) exclusively to play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Easily the best game I've ever had the pleasure of playing (although I'll admit that Horace Goes Skiing comes a close second!). The console has been redundant as a games machine ever since, but still functions as our DVD player!  :D
