Our favourite top ten games from back in the day...
Yo what's going down bloggies and bloggettes, you know what me and Mike were sitting down chatting the other day, reminiscing about the oooooold days of gaming. And we thought what are favorite old skool games man.....like, what did we really really used to waste our time on. Before I was a big time DJ, (yeah I said it and wot??) before I was on the radio, before I used to all this exciting stuff. What did I used to do with all my friends for hours and hours on end. Read through and find out what we think are the top WICKEDEST games from way back in the day.
Okay now these are in no particular order..
Trebs:
METAL GEAR SOLID:
This guy was like The A team, Mcguyver and Knightrider all rolled into one. Unstoppable. This game was a revolution on the PS1
TOP GEAR 2:
on the SNES was totally sick. The 1st game I remember that you could customise your cars with Nitros and turbos!! Brap
Also on the SNES. Dragon punches to the max. Classic gaming dude.
The original Lara Croft was so fit even for a virtual woman I think she deserves a mention...completed the 1st 2 editions
When I had a SNES I used to play Starfox all the time. There aint no Fox that can fly a starship like him. Bad boy fox!!
Mike:
DEFENDER:
Oh the good old days of first being introduced to the arcade machine. Watching friends insert 10p and making it last for hours. Switching from right to left, collecting smart bombs and clocking the machine.Brilliant!
Now this is where Space Invaders progressed to. Was never really good on this game but loved it all the same. In fact I don't know anyone who was good at it, but it's a classic!
KUNG FU:
Double kicks in your face rude boy! This is the game that set the pace for others to follow. I even remember wanting kung Fu lessons after playing it so much! I was the man trust me.
Now there had to be a war game of some sort and this was the first flight sim/game I ever got my hands on. Launched from the aircraft carrier and it was very similar to Galaxian, which means I wasn't that good at it.
Is like a drug. Simple idea that still has people playing it today. No need for graphics to change or concept. It's a great game and it's the one I wished I had created.
So these are our favourite games that LOVED playing back in the day, do you agree? What would you put in your list? What did you guys love playing, come get involved - no long ting, we're interested to know your top 10 favorite games from back in the day. Leave a comment.
