3. Not console games, but Commodore 64 games
|
It's interesting to reexperience the games from my youth.
And I'm absolutely amazed by the music they were able to coax out of that SID chip!  |

13. Panzergeneral is great, for a game that was released in 1992
|
I first played it in 1999 and really loved it. As a person who loves strategy/wargames it was my first initiation into that genre.
But If you like playing it I would suggest PanzerCorps. It's identical to Panzergeneral (They even have some of the same maps!) but release last year. Check it out. its worth it. I got it when they had it on sale on Steam, for 9$ http://slitherine.com/games/panzer_corps_pc My current all-time fav is the wargame "Hearts of iron 3:Semper Fi" Its really awesome! http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/hearts-of-iron-iii http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts_of_Iron_III Another game you might want to try (Its free) is Steel panthers world at war. Get the enhanced version(still free  ) from this site.

17. It doesn't need an emulator but I've been playing Ports of Call sometimes lately

19. Wow, I remember Ports of Call
|
I played it on my Amiga as a kid. I never got all that far (I think the save system didn't really work for me), but I remember hauling back and forth between San Francisco and Dar-Es-Salaam a lot. Seemed like I couldn't find all too many other profitable routes. And I remember groaning every time I would run into a tugboat strike and have to dock the ship manually.
You're playing a PC version of Ports of Call, right? I'll have to see if I can find one. |

Last edited Thu Jul 12, 2012, 08:43 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) But a long while ago I played FF2 (because I was a complete FF1 junkie) on the PC NSX Emu. It was nearly completely translated from Japanese, because it was literally FF2, the one release for Nintendo (the first one) and not released in the US.
It was awesome when they released FF Origins for PSX and US folks could legitimately play both 1 and 2 |
