Thema: Hall of Fame / Game-Klassiker

[Jürgen]

Flippern am PC-Bildschirm, mit Maus oder Joystick angeschubst?
Für mich war das schon immer garnix.

Spaß macht mir Flippern nur, wenn ich auch gut dosiert die Handballen einsetzen kann.
Habe schließlich früher auch sehr gerne solche Geräte gewartet und eingestellt, schön steil, ordentlich gewachst und super präzise aufgestellt.
Und dann hätte ich für 50 Pfennig die ganze Nacht spielen können, am Firepower, Gorgar oder Hercules (dem übergroßen mit der Billardkugel)...
Hauptsache Klassiker, ohne Bildschirm oder ähnlichen Blödsinn.

Den Flipperkasten ohne Tilt ein paar Meter zum Tresen zu schieben, um etwas zu bestellen, ohne das Spiel zu unterbrechen, das war damals aber nicht ich, sondern mein kleiner Bruder.
Für die Aktion hatte ich extra ein Verlängerungskabel dran gepackt und frisch gebohnert  

BTW, auf einem Joystick kann man auch kein Bier abstellen u.v.m. ....

[_Immer_Intl_]

Kennt noch jemand NO EXCUSES vom Amiga?

Sehr geil, gefällt mir immer wieder....

SSega katapultiert Fans älterer Spielekonsolen zurück in die gute alte Zeit. Die kostenlose Web App hält alles in allem mehr als 1700 Titel des Sega Mega Drive online zum kostenlosen Zocken bereit.

In dieser rieisgen Auswahl werden passionierte Rollenspieler ebenso fündig wie Konsolen-Sportler oder Freunde der gepflegten Monitor-Prügelei. Zur besseren Orientierung sortiert SSega seinen Fundus in verschiedene Kategorien ein, präsentiert auf der Startseite aber zusätzlich empfohlene Games. Auch eine alphabetische Sortierung darf natürlich nicht fehlen.

Hat man im SSega- Bestand sein Wunschspiel gefunden, erklärt die App freundlicherweise noch die Steuerung. Gedaddelt wird hier nämlich mit der Tastatur. Cool zudem: Verschwindet das Browserfenster im Hintergrund, schalten die Spiele automatisch in den Pause-Modus - praktisch, wenn der Chef unvermittelt um die Ecke biegt und beim Spielen stört...

Sofern ihr auf Retro-Gaming in Form alter Arcade-Klassiker steht solltet ihr euch dort mal umsehen -> https://archive.org/details/internetarcade

[SiLæncer]

Das Projekt The Internet Archive hat Anfang November rund 900 Spielhallen-Klassiker bereitgestellt, diese können seither (kostenlos) im Browser gespielt werden. Nun folgt der nächste Streich und der ist wohl noch besser: Ab sofort können rund 2400 Klassiker der MS-DOS-Ära (natürlich auch weniger bekannte Titel) gespielt werden.

Für Retro-Freunde oder jene, die einen kurzen Abstecher in ihre Kindheit oder Jugend machen wollen, entwickelt sich die Seite Internet Archive zur wahren Fundgrube (via The Verge). Seit kurzem sind nämlich rund 2400 MS-DOS-Spiele dazugekommen, diese bieten die gesamte Bandbreite dieser frühen Gaming-Ära. Wie es auf der Übersichtsseite heißt, gibt es vor allem Action-, Strategie- und Adventure-Titel.

The Doomsday Engine is a greatly enhanced port that supports many games including the classic first-person shooters DOOM, Heretic, and Hexen.

The developers aim to retain the original feel of the games yet leverage modern techniques and technologies, including hardware, accelerated 3D graphics and client/server networking. A lot of emphases is placed on good-looking graphics.

Oolite is inspired by the 8-bit classic Elite, and many aspects of gameplay will be familiar to players of that game. In the tradition of open-world games, there's no overall story: you can be a millionaire trader, a veteran combateer, a feared pirate, a lonely miner, a notorious smuggler, or all of them, or something else entirely, based on your own actions.
