Given our love of old games here, thought I'd link this.

Let's turn it into a game and try to identify all the games pictured since the author doesn't!
(yeah, I'm going to take a couple of the easy ones to start!)

Cool article. I recognized too many to list, but some of my favorites were System Shock 2, Flashback, Alien vs Predator, Daggerfall, Wolfenstein 3D, and Warcraft 2.
@azarhal - Isn't that Diablo 2?

I didn't know as many of these as I should. (I'll skip the ones that have the name in the screenie, as well as the Disney tie-ins) A few others I recognized, but couldn't be sure of the version (Warcraft 1?).

I was wondering the same thing after I made my post. The Assassin is kind of hard to miss, my brain just didn't register.
It's Diablo II. *fixed*

Wow, most of these I expected and am used to seeing but this one smacked me in the face out of nowhere. I remember long nights of playing Phantasmagoria with my mother and being really creeped out by it.

Ah, System Shock 2. Still one of the best games I ever played.
And it had a working LAN coop mode.

My guess is that is either the VGA remake of 1 (I never played it, though played the original Hero's Quest) or it is from 3. Definitely not 2 and looks too primitive to be 4 or 5.

That one with the red suited shooter is bugging the crap out of me. I know it. I can see the damn review in Computer Gaming World magazine. Can't drag the name out of my feeble brain.
blatantninja
April 5th, 2011, 21:30
I think that is one of the Crusader games, but I have no idea which as I never played either.

YES! That's it. "No Regrets" or "No Remorse", who cares. Just wanted that series name. Thanks, bn.

I have to make a confession. Part of my reason to start this thread was that about 1/3 of those games I didn't recognize but I said "Ohhh, I missed that, what is it? I need to add it to my list (that will take me the rest of my life to get through it seems)!"

I know this is an easy one for this site, but #42 is Wizardry VII
and #5 looks like it would be Homeworld (not 100% sure though)
Zloth
April 6th, 2011, 02:56
Yeah, definitely a Homeworld game. That's the tall, skinny mothership in the back right.
