Android, Rage and I never got to play.
Android and I were unable to connect to BNet, and we couldnt get our machines networked to play a private game.
We tried FSGS and Hamachi with no luck.
suxx0rz!
If anyone knows how to play over the internet without BNet, please let us know.

i loved playing commander keen "aliens ate my baby sister"...
was it ate or stole? hmmm,cant remember now.

anyway, could anyone please post a direct link to download any/all the commander keen games?
i ask coz for a direct link because unfortunately WEBSENSE sends me a nice message that:
Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time.

Reason:
The Websense category "Freeware and Software Download" is filtered.
i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it!
thats unless camerons already put it on one of the discs before??? if he has, which disc?

Thanks alot,

Double Dragon, at the corner cafe on Saturdays...

Morrowind, for hours and hours of exploration and frustration.

GTA Vice City, for the cool 80s music in the cars or your own tracks if you felt like it. I think it is NEARLY impossible to 100% GTA San Andreas, anyone here do it?

Sorry, I apologize if I’m off topic and derailing this thread.



The best arcade games from the 80's
Our parents won a trip to Durban in 1994. There was an arcade near the hotel. The arcade didn’t use tokens instead you were issued with a type of credit card (it seemed so futuristic.) Anyway my sister and I discovered a lot of cheap games there; they were all apparently from the 80’.

Image
20. Elevator Action
This was one of the easiest games to play.  It was also released on console and I’m told that there’s a sequel as well.

Image
19. Bubble Bobble
I wasn’t that good at Bubble Bobble, I could never get “the one up” and only made it as far as stage 16. Luckily, my sister was able to make to level 100. I liked the music.

Image
18. Vigilante
I remember you had to save  a girl named Madonna, your character wore dungarees  and as you killed the enemies they fell off the screen.

Image
17. Kung fu Master
In this game you had save your girlfriend, one of the bosses  resembled Mr. T (I think); those knife throwing opponent sometimes posed quite a threat  as their  knives  could hit  your lower and upper body at the same time. One had to use the flying kick to destroy the urns on Stage 2.

Image
16. MoonPatrol
You controlled a vehicle that upward and forward facing turrets, which came in quite handy when those flying saucers start to drop their bombs. The enemy could also   sneak from behind, all you had to do was let him came in closer then  jump over  him  kill him when he’s in front of you.

Image
15. Silkworm
In Silkworm players get to choose between piloting a helicopter and a jeep.
I always picked the jeep and my sister chose the helicopter. We made to the final boss once. I could never figure out why the game was called Silkworm.

Image
14.  Shadow dancer
What kid would not love a game about a ninja that could use magic and send his dog to dispose of foes. Although if you’re not careful and let your dog get injured you might be stuck with a puppy.


Image
13. Dragon ninja
If you hold down the punch button, you’re able to deliver a powerful strike.
The first boss  is  a guy that can  breathe  fire (I think he had his own game called Karnov)
The second boss is this  the little ninja with long nails.
The third boss is actually two guys in amour that you fight in the forest.
The fourth boss is this ninja (that lurks in the sewer) who’s able to create multiple copies of himself.
All I remember  about  stage five is you fight that on a train.
On stage six you’ll fight weaker version of the previous bosses  before facing the final enemy.

Image
12. Toki
We knew it as Ju Ju, that game featuring the fireball spewing gorilla. The game had an amazing atmosphere, level design was quite good and you had a  number of different weapons in your arsenal.


Image
11. 1943
The previous game in the series 1942 was slow as hell, even so I’ve met people who’ve finished it.
You pilot a fighter plane and if you shoot down a squadron of fighters you might receive new weapons; the shotgun, the three way or the laser. One could also obtain   a restorative item or an extra bomb. I only  made it as far as the second stage, too many bullets coming from the enemy. There ‘s HD version of the game available at the  Playstation Store

Image
10. Skywolf
I only made it as far as the second stage, (nighttime combat) but my sister reached stage three. The game is also known as the Airwolf game.

Image
9. Eswat
We tried to be the first kids  to finish this two-player game. I remember we figured out that the boss with the boomerang was much easier the kill with kicks than with bullets. It was so awesome when you finally gained the mechanized armored suits.

Image
8. Contra
Everyone who played Contra was able to finish it. I liked the  laser weapon whereas my sister loved the Spread gun.

Image
7. Shinobi
You try to employ stealth like tactics as you try to rescue the hostages from the guard because he’s able to block the  shuriken.  The gun that you get on is quite useful. I think the second boss is the helicopter that keeps  on dropping henchmen.

Image
6. Cabal
A two player game where one could destroy every structure and you had a almost unlimited supply of weapons. You can avoid being shot by using the rolling feature. We finished this game with  less than six  credits


Image
5. Sly spy
We knew it as Secret Agent Man (the James Bond game) I sometimes struggled through the first bit - sky diving – parachute area. My sister finished this game just using  one credit.

Image
4. Guerilla warfare
You’re in the middle of the jungle, you have to free  a number of hostages (P.O.W) and destroy the army that’s in your way. If you’re able to rescue a hostage your current weapon gets upgraded. The game is a lot like Metal Slug.

Image
3. Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker
The game had music from Michael, one could transform and  it was a two player game. My sister and I mastered  this technique where we’d line   as many enemies as possible before  using the special attack. Great game.

Image
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
One of the greatest arcade games, we loved the four player version. My sister and I would fight over who gets to play as Raphael (his weapon was the coolest) in the end it turns out the person playing as Donatello  was the  most crucial member of the team, Donatello’s staff had a long reach so he could effortlessly dispose of foes. We finished this game on a Saturday afternoon and we’ve more  less finished all subsequent Turtle games (  the one we struggled with was the first NES TMNT game)

Image
1. Willow
It was a great movie and I felt the game was just as good. I was just astounded that the RPG elements blended almost seamlessly with an arcade game. Unfortunately, I’ve never finished the game. 
Rules that an Evil Overlord must live by!

45. I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in my organization. For example, if my general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him, say "And here is the price for failure," then suddenly turn and kill some random underling.

Azhure, if I wasn't lazy I'd nominate that post for an Epic Win

I played most of these games in the 80's and early 90's on those crappy Golden China 8bit consoles or at the arcades...
No street Fighter or Mortal Kombat in your list tho :(
