Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.

My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)

The instructions are contradictory. I’m not sure how it’s possible to comply.

• Pac-Man (Atari 400)
• Pole Position (Arcade)
• Parsec (TI-99/4A)
• The Legend of Zelda (NES)
• Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (PC)

[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Off the top of my head:

  • Karate Champ II (arcade)
  • Pac-Land (arcade)
  • Gryzor aka Contra (Amstrad CPC)
  • Sorcery (Amstrad CPC)
  • Xenon (Atari ST)

Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Given i was like, five at the time i did not find out that game was so shite it murdered the console industry for decades. I spent .years thinking I was just horrible at videogames. So mad about that.

Age of Empires II and Rollercoaster Tycoon, that's about it.

I was born in 1995, but didn't have a capable PC until my late teens so I was stuck with whatever ran on my win98 potato without internet connection. Great games though, still play them today

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You really aren't.

The first one on my list was a game in the arcade, then a game on the Atari 2600 :)

[–] choya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Damn, Atari 2600 looks so old. The oldest I have is nes kungfu. The sound effects are classic.

Going to date myself very specifically. 🙃

[–] bright_side_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And here I am trying to figure out what Child Youth Gap is lol I played through burnout 3 a year ago, it is soooo good still ❤️

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The gap between child and teen. Distinct time frames.

It so holds up. Blame that game for the pop punk flavor I love in music lol

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 month ago

That's usually the case for me too, but these games in the screenshot are older than the ones I tend to see in other posts like this so this one doesn't make me feel as old.

  • Unreal Tournament

Don't remember which game specifically, but the moment when you're escaping out if the bowels of a living planet is unforgettable. Also the game is overall kinda creepy, I had hard time playing it lol.

  • Borderlands 1/2

More towards my mid-teens, found about borderlands. Played it through and through, found great people in borderlands forums, it introduced me to so many good songs that are at the top of my playlists to this day. Two very great games.

  • TF2

Speaks for itself. There will never be a game remotely close to how good TF2 was. Even TF2 itself.

Also some honorable mentions:

  • A strategy game where you play as a mech that goes nuclear when destroyed, name is long forgotten sadly
  • I'm Going In 2
  • Hitman Silent Assassin
  • Counter Strike 1.6/Source

And only recently I discovered World of Warcraft, specifically Wrath of the Lich King. Don't really have anyone to play with, but sometimes it's fun tanking for the entire group of randoms. I really enjoy tanking, when I know where to lead the group to lol.

Total Annihilation.

Supreme Commander as mentioned by others was the spiritual successor but I recall it didn't fill the shoes of TA.

I haven't played this yet, but I've heard Beyond All Reason is a very good Total Annihilation-like: https://www.beyondallreason.info/

[–] malware@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Omg yes, it's actually both, I played both of them. Thank you!

Elite, Hanse, Pirates, Castles of Dr. Creep, Lode Runner.

Bonus points if you know any of them...

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Elite was the first "proper" video game I played on a computer. Before that it was all games in the arcade, and on the Atari 2600.

Also (from a certain point of view) the first RPG I played (excluding D&D obviously -- I'm not an animal!).
