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.
