franktheluck.bsky.social•84 days ago

I guess I'd have to go with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 as they are probably the only thing I've played from these (through the MGS3 Subsistence Edition on PS2).

These systems are as old as me so that means I was either about to be born or was about 1-2 year old at that time....

xalrons.bsky.social•84 days ago

I haven't played many PC games from the 80s, but I have played enough for a top five.
1. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
2. Metal Gear
3. Jetpac.
4. Atic Atac.
5. Sabre Wulfe.

eastman23.bsky.social•84 days ago

Slightly before being able to remember. I see some games I played on other PC systems, but ones I remember playing on these platforms:
- Crosscountry Canada (Apple II)
- Number Munchers (Apple II)
- Oregon Trail (Apple II)
- Lode Runner (C64)

No surprise that the first 3 were at school...

aspking94.bsky.social•84 days ago

Only 3 game
1.metal gear 2
2.metal gear
3.Oregon trail

alnix02.bsky.social•84 days ago

Maybe I’ll come back to this when I genuinely think about it and read the list but I’ll do a solo vote of Impossible Mission if possible (Stay awhile, STAY FOREVER lives a little rent free in my head as well)

cryptictx55.bsky.social•84 days ago

My 80s PC knowledge is incredibly weak so I can only really list Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which I'm not sure qualifies as a list.

bitnerd.gvg.io•84 days ago

I've barely played any of these but I researched and based them on my tastes and their impact.

1. Ultima 5
2. Wizardry
3. Metal Gear 2
4. Oregon Trail
5. Prince of Persia
6. Sid Meier’s Pirates!
7. Dragon Slayer 4
8. Maniac Mansion
9. Below the Root
10. The Bard’s Tale

sourkraken.bsky.social•84 days ago

Wasn’t Metal Gear 2 released in 1990?

super-metr0ld.bsky.social•84 days ago

I had so much fun playing through the Wizardry remake this year. Amazing way to play that game today.

bitnerd.gvg.io•84 days ago

This is certainly my biggest weak spot and before my time. I'm really going to need you old school European gamers for this one, but they really do deserve to be counted. Feel free to include computers I'm forgetting too. I just know I want DOS, 90s PC, and 2000's to modern PC games separate.

klaxynd.bsky.social•84 days ago

I have no clue about 80s PC gaming as that was definitely before my time (and isn't as talked about in my circles as 80's console/arcade gaming) so I'm also curious what was good/popular. Only thing I can think of is possibly Sabre Wulf.

wiill64.bsky.social•84 days ago

Unfortunately I've never played the Commodore 64 (a little bit before my time even as an old schoolish European)
Hopefully I have some followers who can help flesh this one out for you though!

zeroknight95.bsky.social•84 days ago

Unfortunately, every PC game I grew up playing all released in the 90s.

roskiart.bsky.social•84 days ago

1 Project Firestart

Forget Sweet Home or Alone in the Dark.

THIS is the OG Survival Horror

roskiart.bsky.social•84 days ago

For a more comprehensive list, I guess we should include

2. Ghouls N'Ghosts(if just for the Tim Follin magic)
3. Prince of Persia
4. Maniac Mansion
5. Elite
6. Tetris
7. Turrican II

All of these are just Commodore 64 games, mind you

acefromskyrim.bsky.social•84 days ago

So not sure what counts - some often game I did play in PC - but since it seems to be Commador 64:
Test Drive and Test Drive 2 I think qualify.
Most of the other games in early 80s at least I played are Apple games I think

Oregon Trail is notable

My first console was NES and PC

bitnerd.gvg.io•84 days ago

Every link there is for a different PC from that time, Apple II, Commodore 64, Sharp x68000, MSX and so forth. I'm just trying to cover the bases.

acefromskyrim.bsky.social•84 days ago

Also if I misunderstood:
Games I played on Apple at school should qualify:
Oregon Trial, Carmen Sandiago games, Oneida Lake are the notable ones.

There are others but can’t think of the names so the hell with them
