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?

dteowner · April 4, 2011

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?).

Full Throttle

Lemmings!

Civ1

Phantasmagoria (FMV in all its glory!)

MM7

Incredible Machine

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.

The "incredible machines" franchise still lives on : dtp regularly publishes new games of this series !

Umm, typo? Damn, that's embarassing...

Roi Danton · April 5, 2011

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.
