Top 10 OldSchool Games

10: Dune.

Dune is one of the first RTS games. It's pretty complicated to get started with but once you've got the hang of it it's actually pretty fun. The graphics are not that great but then again it's very old. It's fun and the gameplay works great... Still it's not enough to make it to the top of this list.

9: Super Mario


Super Mario is a classic. I've played it alot and it's still fun and even though there is newer versions of it with great looking graphics.. Nothing beats the oldschool feel. Super Mario is fun but not my favorite oldschool game.

8: The Legend Of Kyrandia


The Legend Of Kyrandia is an adventure game. It's about this evil clown (Well I call him a clown) with magical powers and he has murdered the king and the queen. You control the Prince of the kindom Kyrandia. It's a great adventure but still it's not enough to make it to the top.

7: The Legend Of Kyrandia 2

The Legend Of Kyrandia 2 (Also known as The Hand Of Fate) is much better than the first one. You control a young female alchemist who has discovered that the kindom of Kyrandia is in great danger. Now you have to solve puzzles to find the source of evil and destroy it. A great feature of the game is that you can make potions from almost everything you find. Potions you can make include one that turns your hair into snakes and one that makes sandwiches.

6: The Lost Vikings

In The Lost Vikings you actually control 3 charactors that you can switch between. You have to get from point A to B. Each level has alot of dangerous stuff and if one of the charactors is killed.. You lose. Each charactor has different abilities. One of them has a shield that he can use to protect himself and the others with. He can also use it as a parachute. Another one has a bow and a sword. He can fight monsters and shoot buttons that are out of reach. The last one can jump and run very fast. He can also destroy some wall. Overall great game.

5: Hexen

Hexen is one of the very first RPG games. It's a bit confusing because sometimes you might push a button in one level and a door opens in another. But other than that it's a cool and fun game.

4: The D.I.G

The D.I.G is one of the best adventure games ever made. The voice acting is great and the beautiful backgrounds is making this game the best of the best. The game is made by LucasArts and the story is written by Steven Spielberg which might explain the awesome storyline. The game is running on the SCUMM engine. I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again.. This game is awesome.

3: Duke Nukem 3D


Here he is ladies and gentlemen.. Duke Nukem. This game has it all.. Humor, Action, Gore, Monsters, Babes n' boobs. What more do you need? Even though Duke Nukem 3D is an awesome game it still didn't make it to the top of my list... Sorry Duke.

2: Doom


Here it is.. The father of FPS's.. Doom. This game is awesome and it never gets boring and that's why it got the second place on my list. If you dont like the oldschool graphics then try Doomsday Engine. It adds new textures, dynamic lights, 3D models and better control.

1: Doom 2

And here it is... The winner.. My favorite oldschool game. The reason I choose Doom 2 over Doom is because of the many levels instead of episodes. Also it's easier to mod and it's just awesome.. I remember playing multiplayer co-op in it all night with my friends... Doom 2 only got a few more weapons that Doom didn't have though... For example the DoubleBarrel Shotgun.

That was my Top10 list of OldSchool Games.
Should you want to try any of these games out.. Download Dosbox to play them.

Top10 free 2D PC-games

Free games are awesome and 2D games are also awesome...
That's why I'm making a Top10 free 2D PC-games. Enjoy!


Number 10: Phun
Domino! :D
Phun is a 2D physics sandbox, so you're bassicly in control of doing anything you want to. There are houndreds and houndreds of users of this game. And all over the interwebs you can see poeple that have created extremely advanced things like this for example: LINK
Even though this game is pretty cool, i have to put it on the number 10 spot because this isn't my type of game.

Number 9: 10800 Zombies

*Blood burst*
10800 Zombies, is propably the game with the weirdest title. Does it mean that there are 10800 zombies in the game? Well anyways it is a 16-bit shooter with tons of gore and a bunch of weapons so every time you play this game you just want to blow them to pieces!
Even though i love this game, i put it on number 9 because it's not bery original and the gameplay gets boring sometimes.


Number 8: CS2D

Counter Strike 2D is a top-down-shooter 2D remake of the classic FPS Counter strike.
But recently it has become more than just a remake. They've added tons of new maps/game styles like: Zombie/CTF/DM. But with new gamestyles you need GUNS lots and lots of guns!
So Unreal software (creator of CS2d) decided to add these weapons:
- Flare (removes Fog of War)
- Flamethrower
- Laser
- RPG Launcher
- Rocket Launcher
- Grenade Launcher
- Molotov Cocktail
- Gas Grenade
- Mine
- Airstrike
- Snowball
- Machete
- Wrench (Construction)
- Claw (Zombies)
- Chainsaw
- Laser Mines
- Portal Gun

With all these new guns it's hardly CS anymore so you wonder..will they make Half-Life2D?


Number 7: Mario Forever 4.4
JUMP!
Ah, who doesn't like a good ol' mario game? How about a free fanmade mario game? Yeah Mario Forever is a Super mario 3 styled game with new maps/power ups and sound effects. If you're a Mario fan (like me) then you'll love this game!


Number 6: Icy Tower
*I believe i can fly!
Icy Tower is probably the most addictive and original 2D game I've ever played. You're in this tower and you always have to jump up on platforms because they move down and of you touch the bottom of the screen you lose. You can do special jumps by running towards a wall and jumping. The game gets harder and harder because the platforms increase speed so you have to be ready to jump all the time.
Of course no game is complete without FREE character to download: LINK



Number 5: Teeworlds
Hiding in the shadows, sweet...

Teeworlds collect the gameplay from LieroX/Quake3/Unreal tournament but also toss in some new twists. Everything looks so cute It's like a kids game but don't gey fooled by the looks because these critters are insane gunslingers who does everything to kill eachothers!
The only let down is that there's no gore in it. It would fit so well in this game.


Number 4: Action Cyborg
Yeah motherf#%ker!
Action Cyborg is a 2D platformer-shooter, you play as Action Cyborg (i guess..) who apparantly just want to kill a bunch of bad guys, and of course they don't like it one bit so they try to shoot you down too! Weapons are just laying around everywhere so you can pick 'em up and blow people to pieces! (see picture)


Number 3: Soldat
'SPLODED?
Soldat is a game that takes ideas from Quake3/LieroX/Unreal Tournament/Counter strike (you get the point..) and uses it in a new way. Feeling blue? Take a chainsaw and destroy some people online! :)
There are 10 primary weapons and 4 secondary. But also there are 2 special weapons: Rambo bow and Flamethrower. The gameplay in this game is completely crazy! If you're new at this game you will get own'd all the fricken time! You can paly online or against bots either way you'll have an awesome time playing this game!


Number 2: Cartman's Authoritah
RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!
Eric Cartman's the most badass kid ever, in this game he's not just angry he's so pissed off he kills people! Oh yeah this boy won't take orders from anyone but himself. To help him he has a baton, a rifle, flamethrower, rocket launcher and the V-chip. You hear Cartman saying qoutes from the tv-show once in a while and that just adds to the feelign that you're playing a South park game. Infact i don't think this game would be that funny if it wasn't south park. But that's what makes it so cool!


Number 1: Seal hunter

Seal hunter, a game about two fishermen trying to kill all the seals (and/or anything that can eat up their fish) The story is so weird but mostly you don't have time to care about it, because you're focusing on killing all the seals! What makes this game so cool is:
  • The gore
  • The weapons (11)
  • The ability to play two players on the same computer.
This game is hard, and I'm talking super f#%king hard! It's easier if your two though but still...
Now two players on the same computer, might be a little lame sometimes that's why some guy(s) is making a mod! Yes you heard me Seal hunter the goriest, most violent, sickest game ever, is getting a modification. Check the mod out: LINK



Yeah there it is my first top10 list, hope you enjoyed it!
