Games you miss playing

Tunnels & Trolls on my TI-99/4a. I'm sure it still works but can't find the right kind of coal to power it. Simple and unpredictable....And so was the game. It was one of the first computer roll playing games I ever played. I had fun playing it and that's how I judge other games now. When I play a game now I ask myself "Am I having fun, or is this just another job"

SE4=fun
moo3=job

The mans right, you young pups might not follow him, though.. Its not about the game, its about the experience playing. It could be anything, any group of people, any team or community. Any sport, martial art, race team, motorcycle club, or group of bar-flys.

I went into my favorite corner store about a year ago. I hadn't been there in about a year, since then. It was owned by this Italian family, they always a broad selection from many cases of wine, and this little deli where a little old lady that all the regulars called "mom" would make the best sandwiches you ever had. fresh sliced meat, sharp cheese, and a lot to choose from. When I showed up Last year, it had a new owner. He had pulled out the deli and only sold cheap wine. He told me there were some packaged sandwiches in the fridge, next to the bottled juice. It wasnt the same.

I remember walking in empty places where my friends and I used to congrigate, where I could find people on any given night to cause trouble with. I remember going back to old bars and finding all the regulars gone, and the grizzly old bartender replaced with some young girl with great tits, but that couldnt pour a drink to save her life.

some things do change forever, but you have to make new memories as you move on -- knowing that in time, those too will fade. all things die, its a part of living. you can keep a part of it alive as long as you carry it with you, and as long as you remember, theres a good chance that someone else does too. but things are never the same.

Terrible Swift Sword by SPI, Board Game on Gettysburg, Since computers very very little time to play board games anymore. This game was IMHO the best civil war game ever made...

Wydraz um, it was nostalgia that brought me back to Empire Deluxe. Almost Ironic in light of your post.

As it is, I long for the days of Armored Miniatures (1/285). Still I admit I could never go back to them. I doubt I could find my old friends there. I remember the human interaction, the laughter around the table, Having dinner, Drinking beer (before there were micro brews aavailable). The zingers that would fly, The reparte, The comraderie. I almost established it here in the old Gryphin Growltiagga thread. It is not the same.

Interesting replies. I don't mean to knock nostalgia per se, but when a game dies, there is no need to mourn too much. I came to SEIV because I was missing games like Star Control and the original MOO (I won't touch MOO3).

I guess you could say it was because of nostalgia. But I'm not going back to the old games. Compared to today's games, they begin to pale. But the feelings and wonder of discovery was what it was all about for me. So I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying that new things can often be better than old, if you keep an open mind. Take Starfury, for instance. I can't wait!
