not quite as old skool as some of the above, and possibly not even forgotten, but star wars rebal assault 2 was pretty FPS-ish even though it had space flight etc in it

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Driller, dark side or total eclipse

proper fps action from 'back in the day' running at a mighty 6 frames per second (if you were lucky)

Predecessor to the FPS, Amok on the Vic20

If anyone had sense they'd recreate it for mobiles

Remember playing that!!

Remember a game called Green Meanies?

Ultima Underworld, loved this game.

Shadowcaster, you could morph in to different characters.

Dos 4? 1992 Where does the time go?

Requiem avenging angel. Can't find a decent screenshot though
Basically you played an angel sent to earth to kick some ass. As well as the staple FPS weapons you got biblical powers like swarms of locusts and turning people to salt.

I had that, it was a great game. You could do somekind of astral projection, possess the monsters, and start fights within the mobs. Then wade in after the damage was done. Then when everything was slaughtered you could resurrect the dead so that they would follow you around as your minions. I used to think that was such a cool idea.

This is a guard being 'salted'...

I have Driller for the Spectrum boxed in the attic

G|mp - I don't use msn or icq, never wondered why I'm not on

Only thing I have these days tbh mate is Xfire so I can follow people into bf2, got completely out of 300 message a day icq as it took longer to chat than play

Whoop

ben_j_davis · 16 May 2006 at 09:59

OMG! Total eclipse! I had that on demo tape on the C64... I got lost behind a pyramid - took about 10 mins to run around the darn thing.

Krazy Ivan was another one - demo was on the first PC mag I bought back in '95.

Oh and by the way careful on hot-linking images guys - its against the rules and bad mmkay?

The one game I thought of straight away was Terra Nova

. I loved that game and played it for ages. It didn't do too well in the shops though, perhaps because of the system needed to run it nicely

. It's now 10 years old.
Wiki (with some screen shots): Terra Nova

I remember playing a demo of terra nova - kinda reminded me of Midwinter on the Amiga.

Hrm, was that the one where you dug holes for them to fall into and then whacked them on the head or is that dig dug maybe. There was another one where the space alien comes down the screen and even faster when you fired at him, think that was blue meanies though.

I was only like 7 at the time, still knew how to change the code to alter the keys though
