@silversurfer - Did anyone buy Falcon and read the entire manual I think it had 300 pages

I've got the Falcon 4.0 manual here - no page numbers but must be over 300 pages. There's 27 chapters. Also have the Flanker 2.0 manual - 257 pages.

Falcon Allied Force had a 100+ page printed quick reference and a 760 page PDF manual....

Not all these games were on PC, but I remember these well enough as I played them lots and lots.

They sound like some excellent games, I have never heard of them though.

The shadow warrior and Duke3D box art look strangely similar.

Really need to get mine out (big boxed games that is....) and take some pictures so I can drown in the nostalgia.

Finally got around to digging some of these out. There are others that I either cant find or arent worth looking for.

'Z' was AWESOME!

I still have:
Civ:Call To Power
Civ II
Settlers II

I seem to have lost my old Theme Hospital & Z

I would also give anything for Discwolrd II - I borrowed it off a freind once, it's hillarious!

Killerkebab · 1 Jun 2011 at 14:17

You've got Z! Arguably the finest RTS ever released

Sigh a 96% pc gamer rating back when it meant something, now they dish it out for any old cadswallop FAR CRY 2 review AHEM!

Kosmiche · 1 Jun 2011 at 16:23

I have 2 giant boxes nestling proudly in my media cupboard under my dvd cases they are Total Annihilation and Tomb Raider 1.

Found both games incredibly difficult, also remember having no sound with tr as I didnt have a sound card

They dont make head scratchers like that anymore! Ok I'll give you supreme commander.

PiKe · 1 Jun 2011 at 16:23

Threw all mine out some years ago now, really wish I hadn't but didn't have the space to store them

It’s been a few years since I’ve been in the loft at mum’s place, but from memory:

Doom Special Edition: Thy Flesh Consumed
Doom 2
Hexen
Hexen 2
Red Alert
AvP
Carmageddon 2
Sanitarium (that was one twisted game)
Quake
Quake 2
Mech Warrior 2
Blade Runner
Half Life

There must be loads more I’m forgetting, as there are two large boxes full.

I remember Microprose! They used to make simulations for the C64. My favourite was Silent Service - I played that for hours!

Hello me it's me again!

Had to go in the loft for the 1st time in nearly 20 years and found this time capsule of old games.
