What old school games really rocked your socks?

One of the ones I loved was Final Fight. Hilarious and badass.

Haha, there was this really old arcade game called 1942 (I think) that was pretty sweet. I can't seem to find it on the Internet for a free download anymore though. :?

There we go! That was it. Yeah...fun game. Sorry about that. Got it mixed up. If you happen to find it for download somewhere (cause I didn't see any download link on that site you gave me), let me know.

 

[Italian Guy]

Yeah there was none. I'll try to find the link to a demo somewhere.

Mmm was it called Sicily 1943 or just 1943? I'm not sure. Let's try this http://wargamer2.tripod.com/wargames/id4.html
You can download the whole game from there, othrwise I'll keep looking. Let me know.

 

[Italian Guy]

There are several games with that name. One is 1943, then there is a Sicly 1943, and a Midway 1943 (there is also a Midway 1942), plus some more. Try focus your mind, and try remember the name. What was it about?

I also found a "Battlefield 1942" Demo http://www.fileplanet.com/111652/110000/fileinfo/Battlefield:-1942-Multiplayer-Demo, and a full version availbale here http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/1942/us/gamedemo.jsp?state=010010. I just don't know which one you really mean.

I am now pretty much 100% sure that it was "1943" because the screenshots that were on that site you gave me looked exactly like what I remembered. And I got Battlefield 1942 so I know for a fact that that one isn't it. As I said, I think it's 1943.

Ahhh, where should I start...

I love retro games, and I spent a significant amount of coins in the Arcade back in the "ol' days",
before I got my first computer (and also after.. ),
the good old Texas Instruments TI-99..

1943 is certainly a classic, and Paper Boy as well..
And then we have the original Super Mario Bros Coin-up game, Ghosts'n Goblins, Wonderboy, Bubble Bobble, Test Drive, Pac-Man, Asteroids, Tetris etc. etc. etc. 8)

But one of the real classics I still can remember (and one of the first PC games I played), was Castles Adventure.
100% pure ASCII fun, no graphics at all...

Ah, the memories...

Here's a great Arcade Machine Emoulator:
It's actually called Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME)

You can find a lot of the real good "oldies" for that one..
Got it on my computer, and it works (almost) perfectly.
