    Best games you've never played..

    (Like everything on AO, probably already been done, but I'm making a new one no matter what lol)

    What are some of your favorite, little known/old games?

    Here's a couple that come to mind..

    (PC)Chex Quest! Hell yea.. came with Boxes of chex cereal a while back. This game is better then alot of crap today, amazing. I'm serious. If any one has this, I want it!

    (PC)Get Medieval .. Fun game. Lots of monsters, spells, weapons, and it's funny.

    (Mac).. I forget what it is called.. I think it was Galaxia, or one of the space fighter names.. It was on a Mac (I know... I know... but it's all my Middle School had for computers.. the evil Mac.. Middle School..) Was like that caculator game, galaxiam. Just a 2D Space Fighter sim, it was cool, had lots of drop downs for bonus ups, was very amusing. I could get the highest score of anyone. I was the master. I would really love to play get this game, but I forgot the name.

    (Genesis)Double Dragon Vs Battle Toad. Just so fun.

    Oh, the list could go on..
    What are some of your all time long forgoten games?

        Are you thinking of Galaga?

          I liked Tron Disc. The only time I found it was at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. That was back in the mid 80's.

              you can download alot of the old games that run on 486's. i'm not sure if its legal or not, but i doubt the companies still make any of the games so its not like they are loosing money when you download it. just search google for "abandonware" and the games name. the only problem you will have is running the games since most computers are to fast for the games.

                  Galaga wasn't mac only. It was an old atari game originally, I think. But if what you are talking about isn't Galaga, it's some cheap ripoff of it.

                  Stonekeep had great graphics for its time, but I found it was a pretty damn hard game. I gave up pretty quick, it was impossible to not die over the first few levels it seemed.

                        Neo TFC is my current game of choice.

                        I loved Air Wolf from the Commodore 64, and Ultrabots for 286-486 DOS PCs. If anyone knows where to get Ultrabots, let me know.

                        Worms Armageddon is hilarious.

                        Mechwarrior 4 is pretty good...
                        Total Annihilation - best RTS
                        Arcanum - Best RPG
                        Deus Ex - Best FPS/RPG
                        Ghost Recon - Best tactical FPS
                        Half-Life - Greatest game of all time. Period.
                        "I would like nothing more than to walk around
                        wearing a shirt with a giant arrow pointing
                        downwards, but I have this strange feeling
                        that most people would take it as some kind
                        of sexual suggestion rather than an attempt
                        to infer one's final destination."

                          Armagedon is nothing compared to 2. 2 was hands down, just an amazing game.

                            (PC) Quake II Weapons factory - a very little known team-based capture the flag mod, very, very fun.(They also made WF mods for unreal tourny and quake3)

                            (Genesis) General Chaos
