What games of older generations would you put up? i dont mind the genre really, id would just love to hear yalls suggestions.
Metroid is likely the most famous
i recently streamed metroid fusion but had to stop cause the infinite spin jump simply didnt work, very sad cause its a good one
It’s not in Dread either. Drives me crazy.
Obvious one, but the original Tomb Raider.
its been a while, i should go back to those
Is Mirror’s Edge “older” already?
unfortunately, yes, its been 15 years
I’m still alive I cannot apologise
Late 00s first person, non-shooter game involving a female protagonist expertly traversing platforms in a techno-dystopia covered in white, with a theme song “Still Alive”.
Portal and Mirror’s Edge have a lot more in common than I realise
Mirror’s edge still had shooty bits if you wanted to. But of course the proper play-through is the one where you take the 100% non-lethal approach :)
Portal had shooty bits, I mean the whole game revolved around a gun and shooting the correct locations.
You’re technically right. But I think we both know that I meant regular gun shooty bits, not portal gun shooty bits :)
Portal!
Calling this game “older” is hurting my soul, though.
if it makes you feel any better, you dealt psychic damage to me as well
My steam account is 15y old, the Orange Box was my first purchase.
The Orange Box was a lot of people’s first Steam purchase. It’s hard to overstate just how much gaming value was included.
You did that on purpose.
Mine was Counter Strike, bundled with CS: Condition Zero.
My account is old enough to buy cigarettes
My back hurts
I thought at that time you couldn’t buy condition zero separately, only within the orange box 🤔
I bought it before the orange box existed, like I said it was bundled with the OG Counter-Strike and CS: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes.
To be clear: Condition Zero came out in '04, the Orange Box came out in '07.
My Steam account is 18 years old, so I bought CS in '05
EDIT: Just remembered Perfect Dark
Beat me to it by a minute… First one that came to mind, well second, with the first being the obvious Tomb Raider
NOLF huh, thats a new one for me, thanks
NOLF was great, it just had a bad timing with the release
Ms. Pac-Man, obvs
Magical Diary: Horse Hall was fun
i kinda like how that one looks, thanks
Beyond Good & Evil
i remember when i was a lil gal, i had trouble with the first block pushing puzzle lmao
It’s a cult classic for a reason
But Nietzsche was a boy!!
I started playing this for the first time earlier today. Only 3 hours in, but I can already tell why it has a very adamant fan base to this day.
The Longest Journey was my favorite as a kid. Point and click adventure about a young art student in the future who keeps teleporting to a fantasy world.
never really got around to playing it, ill make sure to do so now
Find April Ryan!
Barbie: Horse Girl Adventures
I prefer the 94 classic barbie and her magical house
oh man, i forgot that game existed, never played it tho…yet
King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella
One of my most favorite King’s Quest games. And one of the first games I remember playing with a proper female lead.are the kings quest games selfcontained? do i need any of the previous ones to fully understand what is happening?
There are callbacks to earlier entries in the series but they can stand alone.
cool, thanks
I think the third Leisure Suit Larry has a female lead in some parts too.
Ulala from Space Channel 5.
Parasite Eve (never played it myself but I know it’s considered a classic)
I fucking loved Parasite Eve.
The woman in that game is an adult in a child’s body. Skip this one.
“Aya Brea is the main protagonist of the Parasite Eve series. She is 25 in Parasite Eve, 27 in Parasite Eve II and 38 in The 3rd Birthday.”
Please elaborate.
The villain, Eve, uses a child’s body iirc.
How about Mrs Mopp?
you know what? ima put this on my gamenight list, thanks
The Laura Bow adventure games Colonel’s Bequest and Dagger of Amon Ra from Sierra OnLine.
Came here to post Colonel’s Bequest. I loved so many Sierra games but this might have been the most fun and interesting.
never heard of those, thanks
At risk of posting twice but, I had to add this one as well:
Kyrandia 2: The Hand of Fate
A point-and-click adventure game. It was funny, colorful, and Zanthia is still awesome :) Made by Westwood of all people. It makes some references to the first, but you could play it on its own.cool, but what about the first one? do i need it?
Hmmm… The plot of the first one has nothing to do with the second. But you do get a lot of world building and some characters are properly introduced in the first.
I guess you should play the first as well if you want the best experience. It’s also a good game, though the puzzles are a little more… frustrating. But it’s nothing a good walkthrough can’t solve :)Nah. Same setting and all, but story is mostly unrelated.
