Formation Armed F - a Japanese 1988 arcade title - One of my all time favorites! A classic: make one mistake and you die type game, 3 lives to start - pickup a new life at various point totals - check points. It was hard to tear me a way from this game. It was the only machine at the local chip shop so competition for getting on the machine was fierce, and once on every one wanted "one more go"!
Both these bad boys, came out in 1983!
I remember playing these 2 games at friends houses because, we were too poor to afford anything like that at my house. Jetpack on my friends noisy ZX Spectrum and Joust at my other friends house on the Atari!
Such Fun!
Ultima 6 just completely captured my imagination. At the time it felt enormous, mysterious, and alive in a way very few games did. I loved that you could wander, talk to people, discover things by accident, make choices, and feel like you were part of a real fantasy world rather than just moving through a set of levels. I think it was one of the first games that made me feel genuine adventure, (from my bedroom lol)— I carried this game around in my head all day long, heck I even had dreams of being in game.
Man! does this screen bring back memories!
To most of the world this was Quest for Glory III: Wages of War, but I’ve always remembered it as Hero’s Quest 3.
Hero’s Quest was the original name of the series before Sierra had to change it to Quest for Glory because of the HeroQuest trademark issue - In some countries it was not applicable so the original name stood.
Has anyone got any recommendations? I need to fill that last slot, and maybe the horizontal shelf where I presently have some pc games :)
Totally chuffed with this Dwarven Fighter Roll!
Game: Curse of the Azure Bonds - AD&D series - DOS GAME.
If you've ever rolled a better char in any of the AD&D series let me know! I think this is the dogs, but.. as they say .. there is always someone bigger than you!
