Today’s generation of gamers have it easy. They’ve got dozens of gadgets at their fingertips and all the data they need to finish the games they play on these gizmos. Talk about spoonfeeding.
Yesterday’s generation, on the other hand, went through the haystack to find the needle, which represents information on how to solve difficult puzzles […]
Did you know that there have been at least 63 video game consoles and personal computers in the past 50 years? Well, I didn’t … honestly. So imagine my surprise when I came across this video:
The author of this mish-mash, however, missed the entire Apple line of personal computers. I owned an Apple IIc, so […]
Egad! I’ve almost forgotten two facts about the Mario Brothers: 1) that before they became “Super,” they were already romping in a virtual game world for the Atari system, and 2) they also starred in an Apple II version.
Good thing I bumped into these videos when I was doing my rounds of the Internet:
How many of you have watched the Harry Potter movies? Okay. How many of you remember watching Harry and Ron Weasley play a round of Wizard Chess, with Hermione Granger commenting how barbaric the game is? No, this post is not about an old Harry Potter video game since the Boy Who Lived probably wasn’t […]
No other role-playing game has filled my sleeping and waking hours more than The Bard’s Tale, from Tales of the Unknown to Destiny Knight to Thief of Faith. Well, this isn’t entirely true, especially if you consider all the RPGs that have come out for the PC and the myriad consoles. But The Bard’s Tale […]
Or maybe I’m the one who’s clumsy. I’ve recently downloaded an old Spider-Man game, expecting to play a sorta choose your own adventure type of game—you know, the one that we all used to spend countless of idle time on the Apple II or Commodore? You never had an Apple II? Not even a Commdore? […]
Flight simulators fall under the category of video games I want to play but can’t.
I remember the first flight simulator I played—or at least TRIED to play. It was the first generation flight simulator developed by subLOGIC that had black and white wireframe graphics (amber on my Apple IIc monitor) and featured, according to wikipedia, […]
My sword and armor may be rusty and crumbling with age, but my wits are still intact.
Playing Ancient Art of War, a battlefield simulator developed by Evryware and published by (gasp!) Broderbund in 1984, again gave me a refreshing break from the weekly wars I wage in the arenas of my current genre—MMORPGs. Come to […]
I suddenly remembered playing some other game on my old Apple IIc aside from Hard Hat Mack and Taipan. The game was called Montezuma’s Revenge, and it was HOT at the time.
C’mon, don’t tell me you haven’t heard of the adventures of Panama Joe in the catacombs built by Montezuma’s minions (read: Aztec warriors). By […]
Like I mentioned in my earlier post, the coolest thing about this writing gig is I get to write about games I’ve played before. So what’s way cooler than that? Why, telling you kids out there that your daddy used to play games that had blocky, two-dimensional characters, that’s what.
In this first installment of Your […]
