haha enjoy MONKEY ISLAND. Can I interest you in some fine leather jackets?

check out Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

[–]SicSemperTyrannis 1 point2 points ago

I've got a whole big pack of SCUMM games I'm gonna play. Indiana Jones is definitely on the list, maybe it'll move up the list, but I hear such good things about Full Throttle and Grim Fandango.

[–]MsgGodzilla 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

both are fantastic, especially Grim Fandango. Fate of Atlantis actually has 3 different paths you can take and each gives a different experience, you gotta play through the game 3 times to see it all.

If possible you should try and track down a copy of Day of the Tentacle to. Hard to find these days.

  1. Mass Effect 1
  2. TF2
  3. Rise of Nations (which somehow always makes this list)

[–]sw17ch 4 points5 points ago

In Rise of Nations, were you aware that you can pause the game and still issue orders to units?

Me and a friend were playing some AI once. We had a no-rush timer on and built a hole ton of nuke silos. When the no-rush timer expired, we paused the game and issued coordinated orders to all our nuke silos (about 10 to 15 each). The intent was to wipe out the AI players in a single instant. When we unpaused we discovered that the game apparently can't handle the simultaneous explosion of 30ish nukes at the same time. Both of our games crashed, but it was worth it. :)

The nukes obviously went off then, no problem.

I still need to play Mass Effect 1 as well. I'll get to it and the second once I finish the games I'm currently playing.

[–]f87[S] 0 points1 point ago

Seriously though, I thoroughly enjoyed ME 1. You are going to shit your pants when you play the second. It's sublime.

[–]Bubba-Booey 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I preferred the first actually, but the second grew on me.

[–]Kozakhan 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I liked the gameplay better in the second, but the plot better in the first.

I've just finished making my Hugh Laurie character which will be the Renegadest of Renegades, at least until he and Williams get it on. (no, it doesn't look a whole lot like like Hugh Laurie, the editor is a little limited and I couldn't get the wedge-head look right). I've also managed to create a believable-looking female Shepard who actually sort of matches the voice, whom I will Paragon with and manoevre into some hot girl-on-gender-neutral alien action. This way I'll have a whole plethora of viable characters with which to play ME2, when I get around to it.

  1. 720 Degrees, by Atari, circa 1986
  2. Spy Hunter, by Bally Midway, circa 1983
  3. Space Invaders, by Bally Midway, circa 1978

Mame or a real arcade machine? I loved moon patrol and galaga back in the days.

[–]ironpony 2 points3 points ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Real machines. Spy Hunter was my first buy, followed by 720, which I drove 600 miles for in 1 day. Then I found a sweet Space Invaders machine in Seattle.

Moon Patrol & Galaga are both high on my want list. I REALLY want an Atari A.P.B. machine, an Altered Beast, a Tron machine, and a Paperboy. I've found half of the challenge to collecting these things is timing, and having some cash on hand.

My 720 & Spy Hunter

well cash often helps...not just in this situation ;-)
The only cab i got is a zaccaria with Zaxxon board. It kinda works but needs maintenance. Since i got no knowledge about tubes it will collect dust the next years.
edit: nice cabs...im a bit jealous

[–]ironpony 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have limited knowledge myself on repairing these things, but that's part of why I aim for fully working units in reasonable cosmetic condition. I don't need museum quality machines, but I'm willing to pay a fair price for games that just need to be plugged in and played.

I was eye-balling a Zaxxon machine a few months ago, but it was rather rough, and not worth the $450 the guy wanted for it... it was closer to a $200 machine in my eyes...

I'd also love to find a 1984 Bally Demolition Derby, or an Atari Championship Sprint. People love those games.

Is that a stained glass window behind 720?

[–]ironpony 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sorta? It's just a cheesy window film that was there when I bought the house. When I revamp that room as my home arcade, I'll probably remove it and use some kind of limo black, or super dark film to keep the light levels low.

I'm going to eventually add a projector and PS3 in that room to go with my driving sim seat project I'm working on. I've also scored a nice 5.1 surround Bose speaker system to go with that. So not just vintage arcade games will be in there, but a top shelf home driving sim too.

I know its a bit of a punching bag here but I cant get enough of MW2. Getting all the challenges and unlocking all the attachments is so addictive. ME2 is the only thing to have got me off it for a while before I finished that.

well before my Xbox 360 laser decided to take a big fat steaming shit on me, FOR THE SECOND TIME (and this time it's out of warranty, and Microsoft can suck my dick. I can buy an illegal X360 off the street for the price they charge to fix OOW): Modern Warfare 2; Halo 3; FIFA 09

Very unoriginal, I know, but also very fun haha.

Currently, however.. L4D2/BFBC2/AVP demos and Final Fantasy 8 on my pc (and FF9 after I beat 8). EDIT: typos and such, go me.

Saints Row 2. I know, I know, it's been out for awhile now, but I just bought it a couple of weeks ago. I've already put 30+ hours into it already, most of it spent just fucking around with the residents of Stillwater. What an awesome game.

EDIT: Oops I didn't realize OP said top 3 games until just now. I'm on my tenth or so playthrough of Links Awakening DX. I'm almost done it; I just need to beat the final boss and it will be my tenth or so time beating it as well. And I've been playing some Dragon Age: Origins as well.

Never tried it. I played the first one for about 15 minutes, it wasn't bad, but was kind of "meh" for me...

How does it compare to GTA IV?

You know, I really like Dragon Age when I first played it. Then, after a long while of starting over with different characters, I realized how awesome it actually is.

It works in a perfect cycle. If I get bored of dungeon crawling, then I go and snipe terrorists and act hella cyber punk. If I get tired of that then I go on a massive zombie killing rampage. Once I get bored of that then I go back to dungeon crawling. It's such a fun repeatable endless cycle. I'm not your buddy, guy.
