Another Classic Game from years gone by.

Post by Nigel H-J »

From reading John's post of an old combat sim game brought memories back from one that had a large cult following in the 90's.

It first came out as a share-ware game developed by 3D Realms. I purchased the 2nd edition as soon as it came out and was hooked!! :lol:

Though the graphics are now old it would be great if it was updated to todays standards. There is a video and it is still being sold by Steam!!

Anyone else of the opinion that games then were simpler & more fun? I cut my military sim teeth on Falcon 3, now we have BMS and DCS but I find them so much more complicated that the fun element is largely gone. :worried:

Those games were definitely a lot of fun. Remember 'Wolfenstein 3D'? Hilarious fun! Took me forever to download the shareware version using my 2400 baud modem. :lol: Oh, did any of you ever play the text adventure game 'Zork'?

Yes, I played Zork and the original Adventure on my Apple IIe. I also played Star Trek on the mainframe at work.
