Videos of Games you used to play *before* you were a teenager

[wetelectric]

A colleague has a five year old son and was telling us about the games he was introducing him to (sonic). This got us into a discussion about the old games we loved before we hit puberty. They seemed to be a lot more wholesome.

Tenuous link over:

This is a game called "Chop Suey". It was on the Atari 65xe. It took about 20mins to load from a tape. I think I was like 7 or 8 when I was into this.

Good

I've shown you mine...

Crystal Caves

Still one of my most favourite games. I actually happened to play it today, just for old times sake.

@moonlit - The first Flashback was much less graphical and a lot more dark than that one. You can get it for free now though! I got my copy snagged. It's abandonware, but just hard to find lately.

here's a screenshot of the origional (called "Out of this world: Another World")

@Keiyentai - I just found virtua squad 2 @ my mom's a few weeks ago! (play's in vista pretty well ;P)

[h3%5kr3w]

www.thehouseofgames.net great place for old abandonware.

BTW @Geeek - OutRun was on ALOT of consoles but back in the day it was best on the Sega Master System which I always wanted... Got to play it for like a week back in the 90's though.

BBTW! my fav racing game back in the day: Virtua Racing -Arcade Version.. Which was very technologically advanced for it's time and included many things that spawned into later racing games and games in general.

Shinobi?

[Jason Cooper]

The game I played the most was Elite. Wireframe graphics have never been so addictive.

[wetelectric]

Shinobi?

Could it have been

?

ps. Those posting games in this thread without a video link or even a picture are missing the point :)

[Seshan]

Shinobi?

Not it's not that, or Zool. It had the colours like J-bird http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/680/J-Bird.html I vaguely remember it witch makes it harder to find it.
