I was thinking back to some games I used to play growing up. There are so many I guess but I wondered if you could share yours too!

I'll start us off with one.....

SpyHunter (played on ZX Spectrum)



Here is a video of Spy Hunter in action


So share your games you loved to play from years gone by!

I knew you'd have a long list @Riddler_Tam lol

There is some great titles there - Goldeneye is tremendous! I wanted to name so many when I posted the first one off but didnt want to put others off posting lol

I knew you'd have a long list @Riddler_Tam lol

Mate your lucky I chose one of each console could have done a top 5 or 10

I've played thousands of games over generations of consoles they all have a special place in my heart.. Yes @MilkyMalky even the conduit on the wii.. That pushed me to get a ps3

 

[MilkyMalky]

Yeah, believe me I could have gone mad and listed sooooo many. Will have a think of some more obscure favourites, and post them later.

It was hard holding back posting a 100 list lol

 

[clumsy]

Whenever someone mentions old, retro games i always think back to one game first. The one that melted my Speccy's rubber keys and got it speaking Chinese (twice).

Daley Thompson's Decathlon.

I could list a dozen other Speccy games with the rose tinteds on but that one always top of the list!

Amongst many many many other's lol these were the first that came to mind that hadn't been mentioned.

 

[T_Riddler_]

PS2
Timesplitters

Never played the original but I am a big fan of the sequel and third game future perfect, these titles are ones that are close to taking the fps top spot from goldeneye which is my overall personal favourite. they all have a well polished single player experience that would still stand against titles released today.

Totally agree I actually mention to put timesplitters 2 lol Easily one of the best FPS around. I was still playing it when I got my 360

Lethal Enforcers looks like a cheesy 80s movie been ported to a game (I've only watched some parts as I'm supposed to be working lol) however at the time I didn't think that - funny how our perceptions change!

I just checked this on wikipedia as I recall someone playing it on gamemasters and it was a rental with guns at my local video store

This title along with night trap, doom and mortal kombat caused the 90's video game violence controversy, as you say funny how perceptions changes none of these can touch dying light or gta V in this generation of gaming.

Case in point of gta V with VR support:

Want to see GTA 5 as a VR game? Of course you do.

This mod adds hand tracking to Rockstar’s crime sim, and according to the creator, in virtual reality it really emphasizes the level of violence.

“I’m really not sure about this,” he wrote. I feel horrible about making this. You actually feel guilty. My mouth dropped the first time I shot someone in my GTA: V VR setup.”
