Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

I could never even get in the house. Yet I'm sure I still spent hours playing it

I think it was "pick up pumpkin" -> "smash pumpkin" or something like that for the key.

I had a cd with 500 games on it, the hugo games were some of my favorites. There was also a platformer based on Billy the Kid that was fun, and a russian game called Perestroika that freaked me the fuck out.

Hey did it happen to be lime green? Had the original Duke Nukem games too?

[–]cycopl 1 point2 points ago

It had the original duke games, but I don't remember what the disc looked like... we're talking almost 20 years ago. It was awesome though.

That fucking butler got me every time. I just wanted to throw the steak to the dog, go through the trap door in the shed, plug the boat, and rescue Penelope (which I always thought was pronounced pen-a-lope).

[–]ReeG 2 points3 points ago

Already down voted by old people. :(

[–]jasonvorhees 5 points6 points ago

Downvoted by kids. They don't remember the glory days of BBSes and 14.4k modems.

You mean we exceeded 2400 baud? Why wasn't I told?

Came here for 2400. 14.4 was blazing fast compared to that crap!

DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE, MOM!

DOS was the foundation of my childhood.

My dad, who had never really used a computer before bought us a 386 and a disk with the shareware of this. Somehow he managed to guess the password for the shed out the back, first time with no help. That memory is burned into my mind because it was essentially "MY DAD CAN PLAY VIDEO GAMES UP IS DOWN BLACK IS WHITE"

WHAT IS THE NAME OF ROY ROGERS DOG?

How the fuck am I meant to know as a 8 year old Australian school kid before the internet existed?!

The answer is Trigger by the way. Did anyone else manage to get that far?

I am 17, and I remember this and its two sequels being shareware...

Hell I remember this and I was born in the '90s...

Why does the internet delight in making me feel old?
